This is a contemporary open-plan kitchen and bar area utilizing the space beneath a staircase.

Color and Materials: The design uses a clean, high-contrast palette of matte dark gray cabinetry, white countertops/tile flooring, and warm natural wood accents.

Kitchen Layout: The main kitchen cabinets are tucked into the space with a slanted white soffit/wall following the angle of the stairs above. This area uses slab-front cabinets and a white marble-look backsplash.

Bar/Island: A central, substantial white marble-look island anchors the space. It features an integrated wine cooler and extends into a comfortable wood bar counter area with dark, upholstered stools.

Lighting: Modern, minimalist linear pendant lights hang above the island/bar, complementing the recessed ceiling spotlights and providing task lighting.

Integration: The space successfully combines kitchen utility with a sleek entertaining bar, making clever use of the challenging space beneath the staircase.
