A Modern, Überfunctional Kitchen For A Couple Who Loves To Cook

Four Blocks South's designer Beth Lowenfeld chose black and white as the primary colours for this new-build home. The goal was to create a clean backdrop to showcase the owner's contemporary art collection and a modern palette that would tie all the rooms together.

Honestly, to date, clients with the most beautiful paintings collection featured on House & Home. I also truly loved how the designer (also first time watching her work) beautifully complemented them with all the designing and decoration 🤩👌🏽

[@heatherw.2751]

This home is spectacular! The art collection is so beautiful and y’all did a great job of showcasing it with the design. Well done!

Congratulations! You did a great design. I am sure you materialized 100% your customer's taste and you did it in such an thoughtful and elegant way 👏

The kitchen is a dream come true!!! ❤

[@lucylafountine9751]

Absolute perfection! Stunning work and I’m so in love with their art collection!

[@alexandrailnyckyj6059]

Lovely project. I dislike when a home lacks an entryway. It is particularly odd to have a large dining table right at the door. I do not know how to solve the problem after the build is completed. I am seeing it more and more in new builds. The mudroom is great and practical for everyday living. But the place still needs an entryway/foyer.

Agreed! I see it on the average new construction constantly and I dislike that builders and designers involved in such projects don't think that people need some sort of entryways 🤔

[@AppleBlossomBeauty]

Wow wow wow. Absolutely stunning 😍

[@annabodhi38]

Some of this is lovely, yet I still find it odd that you enter the house right into the dining room. I know you have to have an entryway some where... That kitchen is a stunner. Thanks for the video.

[@alisonk5371]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@desideratathree]

Stunning home and great art collection , you guys did a fantastic job

[@p.sparkles]

Love this! ❤

[@darlenelake1657]

WOW !!! stunning...

[@laliday]

As beautiful as it is, it all starts looking the same after a while. Fewer built-ins and a combination of styles and textures give a more lived in and timeless look

[@theogold6955]

stunning

[@jocelynlincoln2330]

The bathroom is so dramatic - - I LOVE IT! and the light fixtures and pendants are absolutely stunning!

[@miles5600]

Yes it’s beautiful, only thing that i wish she got is deep trimless recessed lights (square, 2700k color)

[@haleyha5930]

One of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen.

I’m often bemused when some designers talk about how much kitchen counter space they have created and then clutter it up with everything but the kitchen sink.

[@elizabethheatley22]

I’m a maximalist, but with this art collection who would need any other adornment! Beth did such an amazing job providing her clients with such a beautiful backdrop, and some very clever storage design features to maintain those clean uncluttered lines. Just gorgeous! A very lucky couple!

[@Costanza_G]

The big mirror in the main bathroom is stunning!!!

[@evelyn.scott4]

Hate the in video commercial.

[@Editorknowsbest]

The Spanish architectural and interior design company, UDesign, incorporates large backlit round mirrors in their work so it's definitely been done before. Beautiful regardless. On an unrelated note: the background music in the video doesn't match the vibe of the home. I found it a bit distracting.

[@zandra7966]

The video was spoiled by the ad.

[@carolinekatana9897]

I loved each bit.. black is my favourite color😊😊😊

[@MidoriPodgorski-e2n]

I love the master bedroom the best! It is amazingly beautiful!!

[@presleyweber6766]

This is the coolest home I’ve seen on this channel in ages. Well done!

[@julylafallo]

I love love love all the light fixtures in this home! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@lottawickstone1874]

This is such a beautiful house, especially the bathroom and bedroom! Love the dark and moody vibe.

[@sylvial.7272]

Iam always amused when they say "its a small kitchen space" and then shows us in the video a kitchen that big.

[@jameslawson7225]

You guys truly design this home around the stunning art work!!! Just gorgeous...👌

[@kata6691]

beautiful, until they have the dog sleep alone in the mudroom. yuk.

[@dscox8568]

Does anyone know the artist for the bedroom painting?

[@mariademasi1760]

Nice but a little dark

[@johnruiz5733]

I just love how well versed and articulate she is about her work. More importantly, her ability to service her clients needs rather then the design firms agenda. Truly beautiful work. Everything is cohesive, yet every room has its own identity. This was lovely. Fantastic job!

[@mavrick6499]

Really like the art and the bedroom but the rest of the house, I find, is boring. I don't think that the decorating or design highlights the art - you can tell because nowhere in the video does the art make you go Wow! - which is the effect it must have originally had for the owners when they bought it. I think the rooms look like a million others, there is nothing daring or beautiful or spectacular about any of the design or decorating.

[@sandihunter1260]

Love this home. This is great design and practical.

[@fiddlersthree8463]

Not seeing anywhere to put as much as a handbag near the entrance that lands in the dining room. Do guests need to walk through the condo to the “hidden” entrance to hang up coats, take off boots etc? Very odd, impractical & awkward.

[@evaboldt653]

When it comes to wall colours to showcase an art collection, look to the Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC, The Louvre, and The National Gallery in London. I especially admire the artwork here by Ivan Eyre, but his work, including the sculpture, deserves a coloured backdrop to make it truly sing.

[@joneill1155]

Beth has the skill sets to execute the vision that satisfies her clients and herself. Hats-off to a job well done!

[@RentheMage]

How can the powder room be described like a jewel box when it’s just dark?

[@elipsis6700]

"Come in...and be intimate?????" lol TMI

[@barbhenk5570]

Love,love, love!!!

[@lSarahmariel]

I wonder if the heat from the wood burning fireplace will damage the tv - anyone have feedback ?

[@connectedliving6241]

Always a concern. But not an issue in this case. The fireplace is a top vented version. All of the heat rises from within and escapes a vent along the top. The face of the porcelain remains cool.
