BEFORE PROBLEMS:
The lower level was dated and had minimal natural light. The floorplan of the kitchen was small and lacked storage solutions. Certain spaces like the kitchen table and built-in desk were underutilized. The lower level lacked a cohesive design.
AFTER SOLUTIONS:
The overall goal was to create a space that functioned better for the homeowner while giving it a modern look that reflected the homeowner’s personal taste.
The largest transformation came from extending the footprint of the island from 4 feet to 10 feet., adding more space for storage and replacing the kitchen table with island seating. This helped make the space appear larger and gave the homeowner ample countertop space!- New contrasting cabinetry and countertops were added to the kitchen and dry bar, providing a more modern look and adding plenty of unique storage solutions.
- A large barn door replaced the pantry door, which freed up space and added a unique design element to the space.
- Shiplap and encaustic cement tile details were added in the kitchen, dry bar and living room, tying the design together.
