"Utilizing KraftMaid's Putnam Maple door style and pairing the brand's Cottage and Shortbread finishes, the winning design was celebrated by judges as a masterclass in modern warmth," said Alexa Noel, senior director of KraftMaid brand and product. "The design blended clean lines and natural texture with effortless sophistication, and we applaud the designers for bringing their customer's vision to life."

More than 150 kitchen designers from across the United States submitted entries in this year's contest. As winners, Harris and Rogers received a trophy and a cash prize. They will also appear in KraftMaid marketing materials, including brochures, the brand's website and social media, where their design will be featured as an example of the beauty and functionality that KraftMaid cabinets and a skilled designer can bring to a kitchen.

"Our client wanted a new home that blended modern and world-traveled tastes," said co-designers Harris and Rogers. "Plus, they needed enough room to enjoy retirement and host loved ones. We love the amount of storage and the overall layout, and we paid a lot of attention to details like how our clients actually use their kitchen and where storage, work and prep areas should be located."
