Farrow and Ball Ash Grey Cabinetry in a Custom Edina Kitchen
This Edina kitchen came together through another great collaboration with construction2style, whose designers have a gift for pairing classic finishes with warm, livable materials. The result is a space built around Farrow and Ball Ash Grey cabinetry, a natural walnut island, and a mix of textures that feel both classic and current. Here is a closer look at how it all came together.
Frameless Cabinetry in Farrow and Ball Ash Grey
The perimeter cabinetry in this kitchen is fully frameless, giving the space a clean, streamlined look with more usable storage inside every cabinet. Painted in Farrow and Ball Ash Grey, the cabinets bring a soft, quiet backdrop to the room without leaning cold or stark. It is a color that reads differently depending on the light, shifting from a pale green-grey in the morning to a deeper sage tone by evening. Paired with the walnut range hood above the cooktop, the Farrow and Ball Ash Grey cabinetry lets the wood tones take center stage while still feeling intentional and finished on its own. There are so many beautiful range hoods to choose from, and we love a large hood for a roomy kitchen like this one. A symmetrical pair of Alabaster Wall Sconces With Marble Sphere and Brass flank the hood, adding a soft glow and a touch of sculptural detail on either side.
The Walnut Island as a Focal Point
Where the Farrow and Ball Ash Grey cabinets set the tone around the room, the island is where the warmth comes in. Built from natural walnut, the island grounds the kitchen with rich color and grain that stands out against the lighter perimeter. The island also houses the sink, positioned to keep the workflow easy between prep, cleanup, and the cooktop just steps away. Function and looks working together, without one getting in the way of the other.

Cambria Countertops and Finishes
Cambria Everleigh countertops top both the island and the perimeter cabinetry, bringing a soft, veined pattern that complements the ash grey Farrow and Ball tone without competing with it. Brass fixtures throughout, including the faucet and cabinet hardware, add a warm contrast against the cool grey cabinetry and the walnut island. Small styling details, like the vintage kettle and glassware on the counter, round out the collected, lived-in feel of the space.
Checkerboard Flooring That Ties It Together
Underfoot, Emser Spectra tile in Pearl and Latte was custom cut to 12x12 and laid in a checkerboard pattern that runs through the kitchen. The pattern adds movement and visual interest without overpowering the rest of the design, letting the Farrow and Ball Ash Grey cabinetry and walnut island stay the focus. It is checkerboard flooring choice that feels classic while still standing out as its own design moment in the room.
A Kitchen Built on Contrast
This Edina project is proof of how well cool and warm tones work together in a kitchen. Farrow and Ball Ash Grey cabinetry, natural walnut, and a checkerboard floor all bring their own character, but nothing feels out of place. Another wonderful collaboration with construction2style, and a kitchen we are proud to have built.
