Check-out these 3 tips on how to transform your kitchen into a stunning, sleek, and chic contemporary kitchen
We recently completed a gorgeous full kitchen remodel for lovely clients in Brookville, New York. Read more below to find out about this luxurious and open contemporary kitchen and some simple tips on how it can be your next dream kitchen!
—Before—
Tip 1: Maximize your natural lighting!
Prior to the remodel by our team here at Teoria Interiors, this kitchen, despite its vast size and white cabinetry, had a dark and dismal feeling. The stark contrast between the white cabinets and the black flooring, backsplash, and island gave the space an overall disjointed feeling. Many times bright whites and deep blacks can be harsh on a space and make it uninviting and cold…unless the area is properly illuminated! That said:
Tip 2: Create fluidity in the floor plan!
The next aspect of the kitchen that needed to be fixed was the layout. While the kitchen did in fact have a large amount of counter space, the center island was small and had an awkward shape and the barstool section of the countertop jutted-out causing the space to have a weird and less-than-ideal layout. Keeping this in mind:
Tip 3: Modernize your appliances!
Finally, the homeowners wanted to upgrade their appliances and ensure that the space was functional and elegant and could be an environment in which they could entertain and host. By simply updating your appliances, the space will immediately feel newer and fresh. So:
—After—
Post kitchen renovation clients had a completely updated, remodeled, and contemporary kitchen that exudes elegance, crispness, and warmth.
To brighten the kitchen using Tip 1, brand new beige colored custom Italian cabinetry by Teoria’s exclusive MK line, design Alias, was installed. The cabinetry is a matte glass finish and adds a gentle subdued elegance. The matte glass cabinetry is also fitted with 45 degree integrated handles for a sleek, clean, and modern look to provide homogeneity and coordination in the kitchen. By installing beige and cream-colored cabinetry and flooring you can make use of the existing natural light of the space and amplify its appearance. We also ensured that the new lighting under the wall cabinets added to its luminosity.
Implementing Tip 2, one of the first things we did was redesign the floor space and adjust the countertop and island layout. By enlarging the existing island, making it more rectangular, and removing the awkward wrap-around countertop that was on the side of the kitchen, the space instantly has a better fluidity that helps in maneuvering around the space. The change also makes the space more functional as well as creates depth. Since the kitchen did have a good amount of countertop space and cabinetry already we were able to take advantage of the preexisting conditions and maximize the storage even more. You will also notice that we continued the quartz countertop in a white color onto the backsplash to create consistency and keep the space unified.
Finally, we utilized Tip 3 and helped the client select brand new appliances, such as the Miele double oven, range, and Subzero Wolf brand refrigerator and wine coolers plus high-quality sink fixtures which add impeccable elegant detailing and accents.
