To say this kitchen is unrecognizable is an understatement. The before was a dated oak kitchen with an awkward layout that chopped up the kitchen's footprint and left the homeowners pining for a more function-friendly space.

The size of the new island alone is proof that smart space planning is worth its weight in gold. Now, this kitchen feels lightweight yet grounded in its rich tones with a harmonious balance between storage and empty space. Anchoring the kitchen with a wall dedicated to pantry and appliance storage allowed Hooga Interior Design to expand the island and leave a clean and quiet corner perfectly placed under one of the many expansive windows this kitchen is blessed with.

Keep it clean and minimal but with warmth and charm was the design brief supplied by the homeowners. To bring this vision to life, Hooga ID married the Coastal slab collection in Lodge for a deep base but kept it fresh pairing it with soft-veined quartz and organically-glazed muted green tile. The results are nothing less than perfection.
