Vibrant Blue Kitchen Remodel

They wanted their home to finally reflect their style and the way they live. Active in their communities, these homeowners needed a space for entertaining, but their home lacked the open floor plan or seating space to do so. Our goal was to create a bright, modern, and open kitchen that combines elegance and spaciousness for hosting, while still offering a cozy, comfortable space for quieter family time.

The home’s original design featured a vaulted ceiling in the main living space.  The vault wasn’t continued into the kitchen and a wall separated the two spaces. To open up the floor plan we planned to remove this wall, but that would result in two different ceiling heights. Our design team leaned into the challenge of forming a cohesive space without raising the ceiling. To achieve this, they incorporated a large bar at the island that matches the angle of the ceiling above it. This solid wood island seats up to eight and features a third level between the counter height and bar height. Its unique tiling adds interest to the large white countertop, breaking up the monotony and offering a practical space for setting things while cooking or serving.

One of the standout features of this kitchen remodel is undoubtedly the bold cabinet color. Many people are hesitant to use such striking colors on something like their cabinets, since it’s a large part of the kitchen, but these gorgeous cabinets provide a stunning splash of color! By keeping everything else neutral – the white counters and backsplash, the stainless-steel appliances, and natural wood flooring – we achieved a look that feels moderated and fresh. The bright blue brings out the best in every other aspect of the kitchen and makes a beautiful design statement.
