Light Filled Luxury
Natural light, improved flow and chic, clean lines were the design goals for this kitchen transformation. What was once a traditional kitchen of corbels, delft blue tile and an oversized dark wood island beautifully transformed into a modern, textural mix. Elevated elements include cerused oak, stainless steel, white quartz counters, and a statuary marble backsplash alongside horizontal paneling.
The layout remained generally the same, aside from a vast structural change to optimize the room’s flow. A 14’ x 6’ bump out with a shed glass-paneled roof allowed for natural light to flood the space, while relocating the sink area and replacing the large island with two smaller islands optimized the flow. A prep sink was added as well as a breakfast bar with open shelving and refrigerator drawers.
