Creating a sense of surprise—that’s interior designer Caroline Beaupère’s goal when designing any space. “When I enter a room, I love when my eye is caught by some unusual element,” the 34-year-old French native explains. “I do this through color or materials—or both.” A mosaic tile backsplash of birds ascending vines provides the unexpected in this Brooklyn kitchen. Beaupère paired it with sustainable bamboo cabinetry and enameled lava stone on the counters. A jolt of color in the burgundy Viking hood and a trio of pendants, which Beaupère likens to bird-cages, make this heart of the home a welcoming revelation.
