The Morton Meadows project reflects a soft updated kitchen with a nod to the clients traditional Italian roots. Previously stuck with the original kitchen with an old cottage feel, this kitchen desperately needed an upgrade and more room for our clients.
Our goal was to create soft and open aesthetic, and provide more space and storage. We utilized light colors and hand crafted materials throughout paired with brushed golds, vibrant wood tones, and overall lighter finishes to brighten and open up the kitchen
Our client desired a soft updated kitchen with a nod to their traditional Italian roots.
BETTER SPACE UTILIZATION
We reconfigured the wall and the cabinet layout to optimize the space. We eliminated the tight door operated pantry as well as the door to the stairs to provide better movement throughout the space.
We added a built-in cabinet on the north side of the kitchen to provide storage and counter space. By expanding the space we were able to find a place for a microwave and we were able to add a dishwasher, which the home owner desperately wanted!
LIGHT AND BRIGHT FACELIFT
Organic and rich colors and materials were used to obtain a fresh and light look. Green tinted paint communicates with the rich wood accents and the textured natural-colored tiles tie the space together.
Key Implementations
Challenges + Solutions
INNOVATIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS:
The kitchen started very small and we needed to be creative with how to utilize the space and give the client all of the things they wanted. This included adding a dishwasher and getting the microwave off the counter. This house is in an older part of town and very small so we needed to be aware of how much room we could utilize without losing the dining area. We accomplished this by eliminating the wall between the dining and kitchen, and expanding the cabinets like a buffet piece to give more counter space and storage. It also made the home feel more connected, open, and brighter.
