Streamlining Kitchens is our passion from Day 1.... We like to cook, without interference of cabinet doors being in the way (Blum - Lifts), locating cooking items easily (Full extension Blum-Drawers), and then quickly re-locating everything back for an efficient cleanup after mission accomplished..... Kitchens made in-house by LH Personalised for you.....

Coming up with new ideas is always challenging, but the challenge seems even more difficult to overcome when the starting point is quite limiting. In the case of this residential project, the starting point was an existing foundation, that needed to be used for the future building. Therefore, the footprint of the house needed to remain the same, however, the functions needed adjustments since the requirements and priorities of the owners changed in the previous years. Another aspect that involved limitations but in a totally different sense was the setting - a beautiful place near a lake, surrounded by wild vegetation - and our challenge was to integrate the house while emphasizing the view. We managed to do so by using large glass areas towards the lake, by laying the house properly on the sloped ground and by the use of materials. Because we didn't want to interfere with the all-natural vibe of the surroundings, we preferred using all-natural materials: wood as a structural material as well as an interior and exterior wall finishing, natural stone on both façades and pavements, ceramic roofing. The result now peacefully lays near the lake, a discrete presence, while hosting the life of a family and all the peace of mind one can get.

This beautiful, fresh and spacious dining area is part of a larger kitchen / diner, accessed via full width bi-folding doors, which open out to the garden, providing a seemless connection with the outside. The walls and ceiling have been painted white throughout to give a light, bright and airy feel and to connect the two spaces without any interference. Touches of pink add a feeling of warmth and tie in beautifully with the bespoke wall art print and rose gold metallic effect statement pendant globe light. The chunky wooden table was bespoke made for this room and sits perfectly withi its space, complementing the colours in the scheme and the natural wooden legs of the Scandinavian seating. The limestone flagstone flooring runs throughout the ground floor of this property, giving a natural flow and connectivity between spaces. Freshly cut tulips add even more freshness in to the room. A comfortable space to dine & socialise.

This custom media center was designed with a two-tone (White and Espresso Pine) modern style. We included downward LED lighting in all of the floating shelves for useful lighting and strip LED lighting inset in the back of the shelves and base unit for lower-level mood lighting. Two diffused laminated doors were placed at the bottom for extra visual contrast and to prevent interference with remote controls.

The kitchen backsplash was done in NEMO’s 4×16 Metro White Gloss Subway Tile with a dark grout to match the kitchen trim and to not interfere with the other textures in the kitchen. Metro Wall Tile is NEMO’s classic ceramic tile and is available in a multitude of contemporary sizes and colors. Photos by: Megan Lawrence

The internally installed porch enclosure system makes opening and closing easy from their second story screened porch. The home owner was looking for an attractive, simple and high quality alternative to elaborate 3 season rooms and bulky storm shutters. Our marine grade, high tech and low profile solution protect the contents of their screened porch from blowing sand, salt spray, wind, rain & snow. It allows them to use this outdoor space during colder months as well as on rainy and windy days. Yet, when rolled up the minimalistic design allows the home owners to keep their screened porch completely intact, with zero interference either from a cool summer breeze or their beautiful clear view.

The challenge was to create a modern, minimalist structure that did not interfere with the natural setting but rather seemed nestled in and part of the landscape while blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces. Special Features and Details: • wood floor, ceiling and exterior deck all run in the same direction drawing the eye toward the water view below • valence encompassing the living space aligns with the face of the loft floor and conceals window shades and uplighting. • pocket doors are flush with the ceiling adding to the feeling of one room flowing into the other when the doors are open • ample storage tucks into the walls unobtrusively • baseboards are set in, flush with the walls separated by a channel detail. • deck appears to float, creating a sense of weightlessness. This detail repeats at the bedside tables and bathroom vanity • obscured glass window in shower provides light and privacy

Home Remodeling Project Overview This extensive home remodeling project transformed a dated and inefficient layout into a functional, open, and aesthetically cohesive living space. The original layout had several challenges: • A kitchen with limited storage, no cabinets on the window side, a sink facing the wall, and a range crammed into the corner. The pantry closet was too deep and impractical. • A living room that couldn’t accommodate furniture without interfering with traffic flow. • A front foyer with wasted space. • A claustrophobic hallway toilet room without a sink, located near the laundry room. The Remodeling Concept The scope of this project extended well beyond the kitchen. We proposed several layout options to address issues in all adjacent spaces, ultimately implementing a plan that: • Removed two walls and moved doorways. • Replaced the kitchen window. • Converted the hallway toilet room into a storage space. • Installed pocket doors to separate the laundry hallway from the living room. Kitchen Transformation • Open Concept: By removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, the two spaces became a seamless open area. • New Layout: Cabinets were relocated to the window side for more storage and natural light. A central island with storage and seating was added, and a coffee bar was installed in the dining room. • Updated Pantry: The deep pantry closet was converted into a pullout pantry with a cabinet front for better accessibility. • Design Details: Off-white kitchen cabinets pair beautifully with a light green island. Warm white quartz counters and an artisan tile backsplash complete the look. Dining Room • Expanded Space: Most of the wall separating the dining room and foyer was removed, creating a more spacious area while still accommodating all furniture thanks to careful measurements. Living Room Improvements • Optimized Layout: Moving doorways and installing pocket doors allowed for better furniture placement, including a sofa that doesn’t interfere with traffic flow. • Fireplace Upgrade: The brick fireplace was updated with a three-dimensional staggered stone veneer in a color matching the kitchen cabinets, creating a cohesive look. A TV was installed above the fireplace at a comfortable viewing angle. Additional Updates • New Flooring: All remodeled rooms now feature updated flooring. • Ceilings: Popcorn ceilings were replaced with smooth, flat finishes, complemented by recessed lighting. • Walls: Fresh paint throughout the space, with an accent wall in the living room matching the light green of the kitchen island. • Lighting: Stylish sconces were added for a touch of elegance. The Result The homeowners are thrilled with the transformation, marveling at how their once cramped and inefficient home now feels spacious, functional, and beautifully cohesive. They can’t believe their house could ever look like this!

The custom designed and crafted railing is made with welded steel for the top rail and stanchions with cable rails below. This style of railing is strong and creates a safe deck, but also is minimal and does not interfere with the gorgeous views of the Missouri River below. Greenovision Home Design

A pocket door was introduced into the plan so strange swinging doors would not interfere with the flow nor black natural light coming into the commode or shower. Knee walls offer a sense of privacy to each area and balance to the overall design.

Recycled glass tile adds a touch of sparkle to this functional cooks kitchen. This eco-friendly renovation of a 1780’s farmhouse kitchen was an exciting challenge. Every aspect of the design was focused on minimizing our carbon footprint and maximizing efficiency.

A once uninspired, blank lawn has now transformed into a backyard oasis. This retreat now provides an extension of living space for the family and their friends to enjoy for years to come. The inviting gunite pool is the focal point of this space, centrally located with plenty of sun exposure to enjoy during the summer months. For those times when relaxation is desired, a sculptural water feature provides the sound of running water without being visually overbearing. Opposite the sun deck, is an inviting, cozy space complete with a sofa and fire pit that can be used year round. The outdoor living room space under a new deck is fully-covered and well-lit so even an occasional rain shower or too much sun won’t interfere with entertaining guests. All of these separate spaces work in harmony to provide a cohesive feel. The new pool and surrounding landscape overlooks the second fairway at Andover Country Club.

The natural wood, adds warmth and weight, while the clear chairs don't interfere visually and add a touch of modern.

This kitchen included an odd-sized double-oven with shattered glass and appliance interference, wasted soffit space, inadequate lighting, and more. The client also faced issues with the laundry closet, storage, and countertops. We addressed these concerns by adjusting the layout. Featured changes include an integrated micro-convection double-oven, a counter-depth refrigerator, the removal of soffits, an expanded cabinetry footprint, a built-in laundry, relocating the electrical panel, and adding solid-surface countertops. Design elements include cabinet-mounted remote switches, a built-in wine refrigerator, two-tone cabinetry, all LED lighting, a pull-down swivel faucet, fully functional storage, and virtually seamless countertops. These changes addressed all of the clients’ pain points and improved the kitchen’s functionality, efficiency, and aesthetic.

This was once an all-open space. We created an office area that could be closed off with barn doors with seeded glass, does not interfere with the natural lighting that is dominant in this area. LED lighting and accent lighting finishes the look. Photo - InspiredImagez
