Beautiful Contemporary Kitchen
A case study of a full kitchen remodel project, turning a once outdated and poorly lit space into a contemporary kitchen with beautiful and functional lighting design!
We were tasked with a full remodel project that required a complete makeover of a once poorly lit and outdated space. The client’s main request was to turn their traditional kitchen into a contemporary one, with a better lighting design and an overall more user-friendly space. Our clients also wanted upgraded appliances, using Wolf and Subzero stainless equipment for a cohesive look. And that’s where our designer started with the layout as these specialty appliances require specific-sized openings.
The designer changed the previous layout so that the cooktop was no longer squeezed into the dark and not too convenient corner. Now the range, which combines the previously separated cooktop and ovens, is in a better suited more user-friendly location. This new layout added much-needed brightness and fluidity to the cooking area of the kitchen.
At the heart of this beautiful kitchen, the large and stunning island with a gorgeous quartz countertop featuring a waterfall edge now has enough room to seat four people and ample space as a work zone - as well as added storage! Not only does the new island add more storage space, but so does the expansive pantry wall. The original storage pantry was replaced with a beautiful bank of cabinets and a modern beverage center. The designer made sure to add rollout shelves within the cabinets allowing access to the full depth of the unit- no more searching at the back of the cabinet! In every design, our team strives to mesh function with beauty so that every cabinet is tailored to each client's specific needs.
Once the layout was created our design team was able to tackle the next request the clients needed resolved - lighting. The lighting designer ensured that this space now feels light and airy using a combination of recess lighting and decorative pendants. How gorgeous! Every lighting layout is tailored to the space and the specific needs of the client. Using layers of light and a wealth of knowledge, our lighting designer created a well-lit space with lighting options that suit every situation. Be it entertaining, preparing meals, cleaning, or a romantic evening, the lighting options in this kitchen are top-notch.
The final touch is the flooring, featuring a glossy, oversized porcelain tile, creating an elegant and easy-to-maintain kitchen floor. With so few grout lines, the tile floor will look great for years to come with minimal effort.
