Casa Mallorca: The Kitchen, Bar & Dining Room

I wanted this room to feel warm, earthy, and a little rugged, so I started with a deep, rich palette and layered in texture everywhere I could. In the kitchen, custom cabinets from MasterBrand in Jaxson Quartersawn Oak Truffle give the room its backbone, and I kept the door style simple so the grain could do the talking. The cabinets also feature tons of clever storage solutions right where you need them. Black pulls and knobs with a hand-forged feel from Emtek add to the look, while soft, creamy stone-look countertops wrap a waterfall island and run up the wall as the backsplash, and floating shelves keep all that dark wood from feeling heavy. I wrapped the base of the island in a rich brown tile, added black Kohler faucets at the farmhouse sink and the island prep sink, and finished it off with a few brass swing-arm sconces over the shelves. Because Casa Mallorca is made for groups, Dacor outfitted the kitchen with double the appliances: two French-door refrigerators, two panel-ready dishwashers, and two double wall ovens with Steam, as well as an induction cooktop and microwave.

Just steps from the dining table, the bar is designed so guests can easily grab a drink before dinner without ever leaving the party. I wrapped the nook in a flagstone wall in shades of ochre, rust, and gray that echoes the stone column beside the dining room, then floated a black steel and glass shelving frame in front of it, lit with brass downlights, to show off glassware, decanters, and a few favorite cocktail books. Below, custom MasterBrand cabinets in Vail Oak Black provide plenty of built-in storage, with drawers and cabinets for barware and everything else a host needs close at hand, finished with black hand-forged pulls. 2 undercounter wine refrigerators from Dacor are built right into the cabinetry so drinks always stay cold and ready, and a small sink with another black Kohler faucet makes it feel like a real bar.

Then comes the dining room. Long, ebonized oak tables and woven dining chairs from Four Hands seat thirty, and I loved the contrast between the dark, weighty tables and the warm, hand-woven backs and rush seats of the chairs. Overhead, unique ceramic pendants with a rough, hand-finished texture hang from thick rope against dark wood beams, adding sculptural scale and a soft glow over the tables. A Samsung Frame TV on the wall turns into art when it’s not in use, and a dark wood console, soft linen curtains, and a rust-toned abstract painting keep the room feeling layered and lived-in. On the opposite wall, a black steel and glass cabinet with warm wood shelves holds pottery, framed art, and books, so you get decorative storage that doubles as a display.

The real showstopper, though, is the wall of Marvin sliding doors, which open the entire side of the room to the covered patio. When they’re open, the dining room and the patio become one big space, with the lounge seating, the pool, and the umbrellas right there. Dinner can start at the table and spill outside whenever the mood strikes, and since the doors completely tuck away, the two spaces are totally connected.
