Bright Open Spaces
SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MORE IMAGES
The last several years have brought quite a change to our lifestyle and way of living. More people are working from home or staying in and focusing on their living spaces. As more people have embraced home entertainment, kitchen designs have evolved to accommodate this trend. By opening up the floor plan and adding more space, homeowners can create an environment to entertain friends and family. Another trend is to add a bigger kitchen island. Big, bright, and open central islands can give your kitchen a new look and create an inviting space for your guests or just a place to hang out and enjoy your morning coffee with your loved ones.
Combining Rooms
The original kitchen was a dark U-shape which you can see in the before picture. To open up the kitchen, a three-season porch room was combined with the U-shaped kitchen to make a big, bright, and open area with room for a central island. Nora Antil with Valley Design Studio and Solana James Design created a spacious and inviting kitchen that is now more illuminated with light. This added light can brighten up a dark kitchen and make a significant difference in the overall feel.
Open Central Island
Kitchen islands have become the new focal point for gatherings, no longer just for food prep and cooking. Islands can be a place to gather like you would at a dining room table, but still functional for prepping a meal. In this island, there are many features added like a mixer lift-up and a beverage cooler. There is also storage on the side for shallow dishes and glassware. These features can simplify the workflow when prepping your meals. Also, incorporated into the center island, is a seating area giving a country-style table feel where your guests can hang out while they enjoy an ice-cold drink from the beverage cooler. This specific beverage cooler allows for a door front to be applied so it blends with the others on the island. All of these features and setups are the perfect choice to create a satisfying living space to enjoy with your family and friends or just some quiet alone time.
