Personality and function! Long term clients invited creativity into a recent kitchen remodel in Courtenay, BC. Using the existing kitchen island, the uppers and lowers of the cabinetry around the perimeter of the kitchen were updated to offer more accessibly as well as a punch of character by use of contrasting colour.

Updates included moving the fridge to another location, adding a second sky light, and adding a custom built-in indoor planting area at the large window. Graphic patterns and colours that were already prominent in the owner's personal collection of decor items were used as inspiration for the lighting, cabinetry colour, and backsplash. It was important that the existing cherry wood tone was integrated to keep the space cohesive.
