Designer Spotlight: Carmel Ceramica

I’m excited to feature the beautiful stoneware and servingware from Carmel Ceramica, founded by Elece Leverone in 2014. Elece transitioned from a successful IT career in Los Angeles to embrace her passion for ceramics after moving to Carmel, California. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Carmel coast, her hobby turned into a brand that delivers artisanal craftsmanship and elegance.

Carmel Ceramica offers more than just kitchenware; each piece tells a story and adds a unique touch to your home. Unlike mass-produced options from big-box stores, these handcrafted items bring genuine passion and artistry to your table. Discover the collection and enhance your dining experience with pieces that embody both beauty and meaningful design.

Take your kitchen design to the next level! More than inspired by this gorgeous kitchen by: Agence Véronique Cotrel.

Here are some top tips for a bolder & more personalized look:
1️⃣ Link it Up! Make sure your statement piece ties back to the rest of your kitchen. Mirror its color or pattern somewhere else for a cohesive flow.
2️⃣ Star of the Show! Choose one feature to be the main attraction and let everything else play a supporting role. If it's a bold color, keep the rest of the kitchen more neutral to avoid overwhelm.
3️⃣ Balance is Key!⚖️ Going big on patterns? Keep your color palette muted and neutral. Bold colors everywhere? Opt for simpler patterns. This creates a visually pleasing space.
4️⃣ Modern Meets Vintage! ️✨ Mix modern cabinets with classic light fixtures or a rustic backsplash. This unexpected blend adds character & broadens appeal.
