Mediteranean Kitchen Design With Luxurious MisuraEmme Closets

Continuing the design mission to harmonize the old with the new into one timeless, elegant yet approachable, Montecito lifestyle home, the award-winning MisuraEmme Italian walk-in closet system.


This well-designed large walk-in closet combines elegance, functionality, and personal indulgence. High-end materials and finishes were thoughtfully combined to create a magnificent dressing room sanctuary, perfectly aligned with the standards of luxury closets.


Neutral, soft, and calming tones make the space feel relaxing and luxurious and provide a clean backdrop for clothing and accessories. Meticulous attention to detail is evident everywhere. The Talco finish was selected to complement the new plaster walls - an important architectural element to honor the estate's built-in 1910 history. Discover how European kitchens and refined closet systems elevate any living space.

Topos in Textured Oak Copper

This Leicht program is a brushed natural wood veneer, offered in various oak, ash, walnut, or elm finishes. The edges are seamlessly wrapped in veneer. Slight natural variation in grain produce a warm and organic, timeless feel. Our collections include a wide range of colors and finishings for your German kitchen cabinets.  

Elegant Mediteranean Kitchen Design

Modern and timeless Leicht cabinetry is the perfect choice for designing a home in Montecito - a coastal enclave known for its luxury, Mediterranean influences, and natural beauty – to blend high end finishes and modern functionality, with a refined, yet relaxed aesthetic.  

Skillfully, the designer creates a harmonious home by using complementary Bossa and Topos walnut wood cabinetry styles throughout the home for continuity and richness.  Both door styles instill warm sophistication into the space. The Bossa door style with its linear ribbed texture, the European cabinets, and the Topos door style with its rich vertical grains, brings the beauty and warmth of nature gracefully inside.

The Bossa kitchen is stunningly designed with a large center island, state-of-the-art German kitchen cabinets, high end Gaggenau appliances, and Taj Mahal Quartzite stone, that feels luxuriously warm and inviting, with a touch of elegance that’s characteristic of Montecito’s aesthetic.
