The Process
The homeowner's 70s-era kitchen felt a bit dark and was feeling too cramped for their evolving lifestyle. They envisioned a brighter, more open kitchen that would be both functional and stylish.
A key design element was preserving the sentimental antique wallpaper, which would be incorporated into the new design. To achieve the desired aesthetic, a color palette of blues and grays was chosen.
Additionally, the homeowner requested a few practical additions to the kitchen: a designated dog dining station and an island workspace.
Since the heart of the design centered around preserving the wallpaper, we captured the exact wallpaper in our design renderings. This allowed us to experiment with different layouts and design elements, to make sure they would all feel cohesive with this core visual element.
By digitally removing the wall between the dining room and kitchen, we could visualize how the spaces would flow and interact. This also enabled us to strategically place appliances, such as a paneled
dishwasher, to minimize visual clutter and create a more cohesive look.
Finally, we explored various island designs to find the perfect balance of elegance, style, and functionality, ultimately selecting an option that complemented the overall aesthetic and provided ample storage and workspace.
