THE URBAN GROVE KITCHEN
Midwood Apartment · Glenwood Rd, Brooklyn

A harmonious blend of natural calm and modern precision, this galley kitchen balances warm vertical-grain Hickory upper cabinets with sleek matte white base cabinetry in a custom lacquer finish. Seamless built-ins, quartz countertops with subtle veining, and a clean-lined peninsula integrate function with flow — opening into the living space without interruption. Natural light filters in through the black-framed window, highlighting the layered textures and curated simplicity that define this serene, city-smart retreat.

Streamlined Precision in the Galley Core

A refined rhythm of minimalist surfaces and natural light, this inner galley reveals the kitchen’s true utility. Integrated appliances and a continuous run of custom cabinetry support a seamless workflow—anchored by the central sink and framed by an open view to the outdoors. Every detail is calibrated for calm, efficiency, and visual clarity.

Tailored Utility in the Prep Hub

This workstation sink setup blends precision and warmth. A custom cutting board, crafted from the same hickory veneer as the upper cabinetry, sits seamlessly over the Franke sink. To its left, a stainless steel colander insert remains exposed for immediate rinsing and straining—ideal for rapid transitions between tasks. The result: an elegant, fully integrated prep zone designed for everyday efficiency and visual continuity.

Concealed Trash System with Nested Utility Drawer

Seamlessly integrated beside the sink, this dual-bin trash pull-out keeps waste out of sight while enhancing workflow. A nested upper drawer conceals liners, gloves, or compost bags—maintaining a pristine, uninterrupted exterior. Built for high-frequency use yet visually weightless, it aligns with our principle of utility disguised as elegance.

Refined Interior Finish

Luxury lives in the details. This cabinet interior is lined in a textured linen finish, offering a tactile and visual contrast to the natural wood grain exterior. The rich charcoal tone subtly elevates everyday functionality—proof that at Decori, refinement continues behind every door.

Flush-mounted and dimmable, these embedded fixtures elevate both utility and ambiance—merging German engineering with Decori’s uncompromising design ethos.
