The owner of this Anaheim Hills home needed a bit more style in their daily lives, which is why they came to APlus Interior Design and Remodeling for a swanky kitchen makeover.
Before
Prior to our remodeling, the kitchen just didn’t meet the requirements of the homeowner, in looks or practicality. They wanted more storage, and a smarter cabinet system that could conceal any and all clutter. Additionally, they wanted space for casual dining and entertaining. The solutions they needed had to be stylish enough to match the rest of their trendy abode, designed with a modern look.
Restructuring
Our team helped the homeowner decide on a new layout for the transitional kitchen, one that made the most of the space while keeping the area open and inviting. Most cabinets and appliances line the outer walls in a functional L-shaped layout. Meanwhile, a large new double-level kitchen island anchors the center of the space. One side of the island functions as a bar, while the opposite side supports cooking tasks. In addition, a small liquor cabinet fits into a recessed area near the bar between the living room walls.
We designed custom cabinetry for them using Euro face frame maple with a dark wood espresso finish. Shaker-style cabinet fronts appear on most doors, creating a classic and balanced look. However, slab-style fronts define the smaller drawers and keep the design streamlined. In addition, select dish cabinets feature frosted glass panels. Integrated interior lighting improves visibility and highlights displayed items. All cabinetry includes Merrick handles with squared-off edges and a stainless steel finish. As a result, the hardware coordinates seamlessly with the new appliances.
Seashell polished countertops by Pental contrast cleanly against the black cabinetry. Their 1 ½” straight edge keeps the style simple and in line with the minimalistic theme. A full height backsplash was installed with glazed gray horizontal tiles, and the floor was also redone in gray, with Eleganza’s Loft Grigo tiles in “Natural Grey”.
Appliances
A Thermador Masterpiece Deluxe 36” Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop with 5 burners serves as the centerpiece of the kitchen island. This placement is the most functional, with plenty of counter space to accommodate food preparation around the range. Thermador also supplied the Topaz Series Dishwasher installed opposite the island, and the Masterpiece Series 30” Double Electric Wall Oven that has been encased in the cabinetry alongside the Samsung 28.5 cu. ft. 3 French Door Refrigerator. Facing the light filled window is a large stainless steel under-mount sink with a flexible double faucet.
With our help, this client was able to turn the kitchen of their Anaheim Hills home a remodeled masterpiece. If you’re interested in a remodel of your own home within Orange county, get in touch with APlus today!
