Space Theory provides a flexible vocabulary you can use to design a kitchen that is unique to you.
But it doesn't stop there. You can also reach into Henrybuilt's Primary Objects line of stand-alone pieces which includes kitchen islands, bath vanities, and many other storage pieces. This Henrybuilt 'a la carte' option gives you the ability to thoughtfully combine the deep craft and palette of Henrybuilt with the simplicity of Space Theory.
