Located in the artistic coastal community of Laguna Beach, Project 189 was designed to capture the balance between modern design and natural coastal beauty. The goal of this kitchen remodel was to create a space that feels both functional and visually striking, reflecting the creativity and relaxed sophistication that define the Laguna Beach lifestyle.
By combining warm natural textures with clean contemporary lines, the team at A Plus Home Improvements transformed this kitchen into a bright and welcoming centerpiece of the home.
Maximizing Style and Space
Space can often be limited in coastal homes, so careful planning was essential to ensure the kitchen felt open while still providing ample storage and functionality.
Custom cabinetry played a major role in achieving this balance. Built at our Anaheim manufacturing facility, the cabinets feature a smooth contemporary finish and light wood tones that echo the natural colors of the California coastline. The result is a warm and inviting space that feels both modern and timeless.
To maintain a clean and cohesive look, high end panel ready appliances were integrated directly into the cabinetry. This approach allows the custom woodwork to remain the visual highlight of the kitchen while minimizing visual interruptions from stainless steel surfaces.
Floating wood shelving was also incorporated to keep the design light and open. These shelves provide a place to display decorative pieces and everyday items while preventing the walls from feeling heavy with upper cabinets.
Luxury Materials and Coastal Inspired Details
Material selection played an important role in bringing the design together. In a home located in Orange County, California, durability and beauty must go hand in hand.
The countertops feature premium natural stone with unique veining and character. In addition to providing a durable work surface, the stone acts as a visual anchor that grounds the entire kitchen design.
For the backsplash, a designer tile was selected that reflects light beautifully and introduces a subtle shimmer reminiscent of the nearby Pacific coastline. This detail adds depth and texture without overwhelming the clean aesthetic of the space.
Modern pendant lighting was installed above the prep and island areas, providing focused task lighting while maintaining unobstructed sightlines across the open concept living space.
A Thoughtful Design-Build Approach
One of the key advantages of this project was the design build process used by A Plus Home Improvements. From the earliest 3D design concepts to the final cabinet installation, every step of the renovation was carefully planned and coordinated.
This approach allows homeowners to visualize the finished space before construction begins while ensuring that every detail, from cabinetry finishes to hardware placement, is executed with precision.
The result is a kitchen that not only looks beautiful but also functions perfectly for everyday living and entertaining.
