After many years in their home, this Braden Woods couple had updated everything except the kitchen. We helped them rectify that. Over the years, warm wood tones had permeated the rest of the décor so it only made sense to carry that same feel into the rejuvenated kitchen area.
The layout of the old kitchen made it seem small and confined. By simply removing the peninsula barrier, we were able to create more visual space and bring much needed natural lighting into the dining area. Raising the drop ceiling allowed for additional storage and magnified the formerly tight space even more. Desiring a focal point when looking in from the living area, the small wine rack doubles as both decoration and convenient storage.
Selecting a raised panel cabinet in warm wood continued the classic comfort the homeowners had achieved with previous updates. StarMark Cabinetry’s Alder Hanover doorstyle in Toffee stain was the only real contender in the homeowners’ eyes. Topped with Zanzibar granite, the subtle ruby-chocolate tones in both stone and wood were allowed highlight one another. A simple 1×4 tri-toned ceramic tile splash reemphasized that chocolaty theme and gave the room a slight oomph. Timeless, stainless steel appliances from Samsung completed the subtle yet stylish look the homeowners were after. Now the kitchen is as current and comfortable as the rest of their home.
