When a Lumberton, New Jersey, couple decided it was time to overhaul their cramped, dark kitchen, they came in with a clear wish list: more light, smarter storage, upgraded appliances — and plenty of blue. What they needed was someone to pull it all together. They found that in designer Anne van de Rijn. The overall footprint stayed intact, but a few strategic moves transformed how the space works. Removing a built-in desk and relocating a double wall oven to the pantry-and-refrigerator wall freed up room for a more intuitive, user-friendly flow. Soft white cabinetry keeps things bright and airy, while an indigo island delivers the couple’s beloved color in a bold, grounding way, adding depth and personality in equal measure. Authentic blue zellige tile on the backsplash bridges the two tones beautifully, playing off new White Ice granite countertops that carry subtle veins of deep blue. The original red oak flooring brings warmth and continuity, tying the whole room together.
