This modest-spaced kitchen renovation optimized the area while delivering on the details. Looking to upgrade and modernize, our client wanted to replace the existing cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and tile floor, while shifting appliance locations to gain efficiencies within the space. The refrigerator, originally located adjacent to the sink, was relocated to the wall opposite the sink, replacing the double ovens. The double ovens were moved, replacing an unused desk behind the island. The stovetop replaced the original location of the refrigerator with a custom-designed cooktop hood inspired by the existing architectural elements of the decorative wood beams in the home. Built-in shelves along the sides above the stovetop now have room for common cooking essentials, such as spices and oil. We combined the warmth of white oak with prominent dark blue cabinetry, a white subway tile backsplash, a quartz countertop, and updated tile flooring for a refined modern kitchen.
