The 2021 renovation at 130 West 67th Street focused on two of the apartment’s most functional spaces: the kitchen and bathroom. Both were redesigned around a restrained white palette, with contrasting hardware and carefully selected surfaces giving each room its own character.
In the kitchen, extensive cabinetry and a long peninsula create a highly functional work and storage zone within the apartment. The bathroom takes a similarly space-conscious approach, combining a glass-enclosed shower, vanity storage, mirrored cabinetry, and additional built-in storage within a compact footprint.
The completed kitchen is defined by flat-panel white cabinetry, warm metallic hardware, white veined surfaces, stainless-steel appliances, and dark wood flooring. Cabinetry extends vertically toward the ceiling and continues along both sides of the kitchen, while recessed and under-cabinet lighting illuminate the work surfaces.
The bathroom shifts to a black-and-white palette. A glass-enclosed shower is paired with pale wall tile and small-format shower-floor tile, while the main bathroom floor introduces a distinctive geometric pattern. Matte-black fixtures and hardware create contrast across the vanity, shower enclosure, and storage cabinetry.
Although the kitchen and bathroom use different materials and patterns, both spaces rely on the same underlying approach: making storage part of the architecture rather than adding it as an afterthought. Full-height kitchen cabinetry, drawers beneath the peninsula, a mirrored bathroom cabinet, vanity storage, and a tall bathroom cabinet all make use of available wall and floor space. Contrasting metal finishes then give each room a distinct identity.
The kitchen combines white flat-panel cabinetry with warm metallic pulls and white veined countertop and backsplash surfaces. A long peninsula adds a substantial work surface while incorporating drawers and cabinets below, and overhead cabinetry extends storage above the opening toward the adjoining space. Recessed lighting beneath these cabinets provides direct illumination over the peninsula.
Stainless-steel appliances—including the range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator—are integrated into the cabinetry layout. Under-cabinet lighting along the main work area highlights the continuous veined backsplash and countertop, while the dark wood flooring creates a strong visual contrast against the predominantly white kitchen.
The bathroom centers on a glass-enclosed shower finished with pale horizontal wall tile and small white mosaic floor tile. Black shower-door hardware introduces contrast and connects visually with the matte-black faucet, vanity hardware, and tall cabinet pull elsewhere in the room.
The main bathroom floor becomes a feature of its own through a repeating white-and-gray geometric pattern. A white vanity provides enclosed storage beneath the sink, while mirrored cabinetry above expands storage at eye level. A tall cabinet beside the shower adds another dedicated storage zone without requiring freestanding furniture.
At 130 West 67th Street, the 2021 renovation demonstrates how two compact NYC spaces can be treated differently while still belonging to the same home. The kitchen uses expansive white cabinetry, a long peninsula, veined surfaces, and warm hardware to maximize its working and storage areas, while the bathroom combines geometric flooring, a glass shower, matte-black details, and vertically integrated storage within a much smaller footprint.
