These North Wales homeowners were looking to expand and update their small, dated kitchen. Since the existing space had little storage, they were forced to “store” many items on the already cluttered countertop. In addition, heavy, 80s wallpaper and window treatments made the space feel dark and busy, and their island was too small to be very functional.

Besides a function-and-feel refresh, the family also had accessibility in mind. Along with the kitchen, they were updating the bathroom of an attached in-law suite with many Universal Design features and wanted to continue that theme into this project as well. Having a more open space, user-friendly appliances, rounded corners on countertops, and easy-to-clean surfaces were priorities.
