Steal This Look: A Roman Color Kitchen in Testaccio, Rome

by Published: June 27, 2023

In a palette that feels distinctly Roman, architects Vincenzo Tattolo and Martino Fraschetti of Studio Strato renovated a house in Rome’s Testaccio district for a young family looking for a design that was “modern and fresh.” The kitchen is designed with reclaimed cement floor tile, glass shelving, and a mix of traditional and modern fixtures. Here we profile sources for similar styles that make up the characterful kitchen.
