SLIDESHOWS: Design Inspirations and Ideas from Commune

Kitchen Style: Flooring

The kitchen and courtyard are covered with cement tile custom-stamped with a pattern borrowed from French kitchens of the 1940s. The off-white and off-black have an aged patina—“an effect we love,” says Commune partner Pamela Shamshiri. redondotile.com.

The kitchen stools are originals from midcentury California designers Van Keppel-Green. Commune found them at Reform Gallery (reform-modern.com), then re-covered the seats in “Root Beer” leather from Edelman (edelmanleather.com). “The stools are amazingly proportioned, so the back hits in just the right spot and the footrest is perfect,” Shamshiri says.
