Artistic Elements, Bold Color Accents, and Unique Space Planning convert boxy kitchen into a cook's dream space.

Challenge: Transform a dated, poorly-functioning kitchen lacking in adequate storage and counter space into a high-functioning, visually-exciting space — on a tight budget.

Design Solutions:

  • Improved function and flow with new base cabinet section incorporating gas cooktop, pot storage drawers below, and powerful vent hood above. Added wall of appliance garages as well as a new peninsula housing convection oven, storage, recycle bins, and sit-down counter for guests or buffet service.
  • Added vibrant yellow suspended canopy with low-voltage lighting to highlight Zodiac solid-surface countertop, Mondrian-style painted wall graphic, and artifacts in exposed under-stair niche.
  • Met budget constraints by refinishing instead of replacing lower wall cabinets and retaining some appliances, tile countertops, and flooring.
  • Brought in contemporary elements to update kitchen including modern lighting throughout, upper wall cabinets of varying heights with glass-panel doors, built-in storage systems, and stainless steel cooking appliances.
