Influenced by modern living preferences, home building underwent a transformation in the early 1990s. As homebuyers sought more open floor plans, kitchens morphed into transitional spaces with warm, dark woods and earthy colored granite countertops. And while the open concept still works, many families are trading out their dark 90s style kitchen for light, bright and sophisticated spaces – as was the case for this family whose kitchen renovation is as functional as it is fashionable.
For these busy homeowners, the renovation included an open and streamlined aesthetic with white cabinetry and a bold, dark-stained island. The island, which serves as a focal point in the room, was oversized to accommodate the kitchen sink and dishwasher and offer ample seating for the family of six. The large Wolf range and custom, Signature Cabinetry vent hood are expertly integrated into the wall of cabinetry, concealing appliances to create a sleek, cohesive and organized look.
To maximize storage, the pantry was optimized, and a butler’s pantry bar area was added. These additions ensure that everything has its place, from cooking essentials to entertaining supplies, keeping the kitchen uncluttered and efficient. This thoughtful design approach has transformed the once dated space into a bright and inviting kitchen that perfectly suits the homeowners’ lifestyle.
