Newport Coast homes are known for their elegance, beautiful views, and elevated design. For Project 194, our team at A Plus Home Improvements transformed both the kitchen and living room fireplace to create a more cohesive, modern, and luxurious great room experience.
Rather than treating the kitchen and living room as two separate remodeling projects, we approached them as one connected space. The goal was to improve flow, create visual harmony, and design a home that feels just as inviting for everyday life as it does for entertaining. A Plus describes its remodeling approach as a seamless design-build process that integrates design and construction under one roof.

A Luxury Kitchen Designed for Entertaining
The kitchen in this Newport Coast remodel was designed to balance style, function, and custom craftsmanship. In a home like this, the kitchen is more than a place to cook. It is a central gathering space that should feel refined, comfortable, and built for the way the homeowners live.
Because A Plus manufactures custom cabinetry in its Anaheim facility, we were able to design storage and cabinetry details specifically for this layout. That level of customization helped us maximize functionality while maintaining the sleek and polished look the home called for. A Plus highlights its custom cabinetry manufacturing in Anaheim as a core part of its service offering.
Two-Tone Custom Cabinetry
One of the standout features of this kitchen is the two-tone cabinetry design. By blending lighter and darker wood tones, the space gains depth, warmth, and a more layered visual appeal.
This combination creates contrast without feeling busy, and it allows the craftsmanship of the cabinetry to stand out in a way that feels both modern and timeless.
Professional-Grade Appliances
To match the upscale look of the home, professional-grade appliances were incorporated into the custom cabinet layout. These appliances offer strong performance for everyday cooking and entertaining while preserving the clean and sophisticated look of the kitchen.
A Spacious Island for Prep and Gathering
At the center of the room is a large island that quickly becomes the heart of the home. It offers generous space for food preparation, serving, casual dining, and conversation.
For homeowners who love to host, a large island makes all the difference. It creates a welcoming focal point and helps the kitchen feel more social and connected.

A Fireplace Remodel That Completes the Great Room
While the kitchen renovation brought major impact on its own, the fireplace transformation is what truly tied the space together.
Instead of treating the fireplace as a separate feature, we redesigned it using finishes and materials that complement the style of the kitchen. This helped create a more unified great room design where the kitchen and living area feel intentionally connected.
A Floor-to-Ceiling Statement Fireplace
The fireplace was reimagined with a modern floor-to-ceiling surround that now serves as the main visual focal point of the living room. This update adds architectural interest, height, and a stronger sense of presence to the space.
Custom Built-In Storage and Shelving
To add both beauty and function, we incorporated custom built-in shelving and cabinetry around the fireplace. These built-ins provide space for books, décor, and media components while helping the room feel more tailored and organized.
The result is a living area that feels polished, practical, and fully integrated with the kitchen design.

The Benefits of a Design-Build Remodel in Newport Coast
The success of this project started well before construction began. At A Plus Home Improvements, our design-build process includes detailed planning and 3D renderings so homeowners can clearly see how different parts of the remodel will come together.
For this Newport Coast remodel, that planning phase helped the homeowners confidently move forward, knowing exactly how the kitchen and fireplace would work together in the final design. A Plus emphasizes both its design-build process and its experience with kitchen, bathroom, and complete home remodels throughout Orange County.
