"White kitchens will always be timeless, but artist Kerin Rose Gold (@kerinrosegold), who creates contemporary crystal art pieces and founded accessory design brand a-morir, needed a little more oomph in her Manhattan studio space's kitchen. Half of Kerin's studio is used as a workspace, and the other half serves as the brand's showroom. The space is full of "color, pattern, and crystals," she says, and she wanted the kitchen (and the bathroom!) to match the aesthetic."
""The kitchen before was classic builder-grade. White walls, cream 'marble' countertops, cream tile floor. I don't like being critical of design choices because they were made by a person who put thought into them, but these design choices were the antithesis of mine," Kerin explains. "I love color, pattern, and visual spectacle in all aspects of my life. It was truly a blank canvas begging for change.""
"Kerin took her time, and this makeover was all about trying things out playfully. At first, she bought colorful terrazzo contact paper from Samantha Santana to go on the outside of the fridge, but it didn't necessarily feel right for the space. When she tested a splattered Wallshoppe's "Pratt Paint" wallpaper in the bathroom, she realized that it was perfect for the kitchen."
Kerin Rose Gold converted a builder-grade Manhattan studio kitchen and bathroom into vibrant, art-forward spaces to match her accessory brand aesthetic. The studio functions as both a workspace and a showroom, motivating cohesive, visually bold design choices. The original kitchen featured white walls, cream 'marble' countertops, and cream tile floors that opposed her preference for color and pattern. She drew inspiration from Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, experimented playfully with materials like terrazzo contact paper, and ultimately selected Wallshoppe's "Pratt Paint" splattered wallpaper. The remodel remains intentionally unfinished, with planned tweaks such as new knobs and cabinet treatments.
