About This Project

Polk Kitchen

Material & Feature Breakdown

The primary kitchen backsplash features medium-format gray glass subway tiles with a glossy finish, arranged in a stacked pattern and beveled edges for distinct separation. The accent area behind the stove creates visual interest using smaller gray glass hexagon mosaic tiles, also with a glossy finish and straight edges, set within the primary field for a modern contrast. Both surfaces use a bright white, medium-width grout to clearly highlight the grid and honeycomb designs, enhancing depth and clarity. The overall look for each zone is a smooth, glassy texture that feels light-reflective and fresh, harmonizing the backsplash and accent wall into a unified contemporary expression.

This Polk Kitchen transformation by Coco Design & Build Co. in Evanston, IL spotlights a high-style blend of contemporary and modern sensibilities. The glossy glass tiles elevate the cooking space with crisp lines, geometric patterning, and light-enhancing surfaces, providing a perfect visual balance between utility and sophisticated artistry. The use of hexagon mosaic as a stove accent brings a unique character that celebrates both precision and flair, positioning the kitchen as a true showpiece of smart, detailed design.
