Another successful kitchen renovation by BKB.

This “before” layout came
to us with a fridge cramped right up next to both the sink and the
stove. No elbow room for anyone!

Placed right in the middle of the room it seems; the fridge is the
largest appliance in this space and in this location, its appearance is
not minimized. Hinged on the opposite side makes it nearly impossible to
open especially with more than one cook in the kitchen.

The dark cabinets were once in style but feel heavy and a bit too
traditional for our clients. Thankfully the cabinets were already to
the ceiling so there was no soffit to remove. The existing peninsula
also stopped a bit short of the other side of the kitchen. We maximized
this length as well in the after design.

Welcome to the kitchen of the 21st century!

Newly installed Miralis
cabinets in a gloss white polymer shaker door invites even more natural
light into the space. A cool grey floor is a nice break from many
square feet of the warm parquet flooring throughout the apartment.

Dal-Tile
supplied us with a porcelain tile called Ambassador in Global Grey. It
matches nicely with the stainless-steel appliances (note the new
fridge☺) and therefore helps the appliances blend in with the kitchen
design and not seem so interrupting and crammed.

Also, we obviously moved the placement of the fridge to anchor one
side of the run of cabinets. This allows for easy access from the rest
of the apartment and way more elbow room for cooking in the work triangle of the kitchen.

Caesarstone’ s
Calcutta Nuvo counter tops keep the space bright and if you note the
different edging from before to after, it really shows a contemporary
update. A sleek eased edge instead of bullnose allows this design to
stay classic for many years. It really is the small details that can
make a space! Around the peninsula a waterfall counter top was installed
for a modern feel.

We chose a cool gray back splash tile from Merola. It’s called a
pillow tile in Gotham Gray color. The pillow effect offers a soft light
feeling to a wall space that can seem very two dimensional and flat.

Finally, the finishing touches in the space include hardware from Top Knobs and a Hansgrohe kitchen faucet and soap dispenser. These brushed nickel additions add sparkle, liveliness, and superior functionality for our clients.
