Our clients' kitchen had not been updated since sometime in the 80s. It was dated and did not make use of the space in a functional way. The goal was to give the clients more counter space, a more functional layout, and  more connectivity to the living and dining room. We started by widening the open between the kitchen and dining room to create a more open floor plan. The kitchen design was inspired by the client's midcentury eclectic style and their desire for teal colored cabinets.The large scale hex backsplash creates a very graphic feel to the space and incorporates a textured layer to the kitchen. We went with honed gray quartz that looks a lot like concrete, but is very durable for everyday use. The custom maple hood and the brass lighting accents add warmth to the cool color palette. Overall, we achieved the goal of creating a much more open, functional space and creating a beautiful design that fits our clients' personal style.
