Undersink drawer. Given the plumbing fixtures that must go beneath the kitchen sink and the fact that there isn’t much room in that space for storage, this area can feel like a dank mini-cave. This drawer has a clever cutout that gently surrounds the plumbing, making available the good, clean space while keeping the plumbing hidden. Cabinetry: painted to match Light Pewter 1464, Benjamin Moore; hardware: Schaub; countertops: Rye Marble; sink: Strive, Kohler; faucet: Rohl

Island and wall cabinetry: color-matched to Van Deusen Blue HC-156, Benjamin Moore; perimeter cabinetry: color-matched to Chantilly Lace OC-65, Benjamin Moore; island countertop: white quartz; pendants: RejuvenationHow to Make the Most of Your Kitchen’s Back Side
