A home in Rancho Santa Margarita got a complete kitchen overhaul with the help of APlus contractors.
Before Kitchen Remodel
The former kitchen was rather basic and cookie cutter. It had typical wood cabinets in a bulky build, as well as generic dark granite countertops. The owners were seeking a more modernized look that had a mixture of industrial and rustic design accents.
Restructuring
We completely demolished the old kitchen and relaid the floors with rugged oak-hued hardwood. This rich golden color provides a warm base that contrasts well with the cool tones and modern elements we added afterward.
The maple custom cabinets follow a U-shaped layout with Euro-style construction. Also, the 3-inch Shaker doors create a clean, timeless look. They feature Square crown moulding and Colonial base moulding. We painted them in a slate-toned finish called Legendary Gray. The cabinets include spice pulls, a double trash pull, and custom floating wood shelves. Also, these shelves sit above the stove area and the diagonal kitchen corner.
At the breakfast bar section, we left a cutout space for legroom, and faced it with a nut-colored wood panel that features a convenient electrical outlet. As for the center of the kitchen, we constructed a custom center island with a finish of Whisper White, sporting sturdy dark posts and shelves. It has cabinet storage on both sides, including pull-out tray shelving. A quaint wooden dining table with the same coloring as the flooring and wall shelves acts as an extension of the island, and its minimalist bench seating keeps things streamlined and unobtrusive.
All of the countertops are made of a lovely pale gray stone with delicate dark striations. The smooth, glossy surfaces create a sleek visual effect in the kitchen. Also, industrial globe lights hanging above the island enhance their shine. Light also spills in from the large glass door along the outer wall, which leads to the backyard. The exposed walls were covered with Imperial Bianco Gloss 2” x 12” Tiles to keep the kitchen’s new style airy and bright.
Kitchen Appliances
To maintain the industrial theme, all stainless steel appliances were selected. The Thermador Star-Sapphire dishwasher sits in the breakfast bar area for easy access. The Kohler Stages 45-inch undermount sink sits directly beside the dishwasher for convenience. Also, a Wolf Pro 24-inch deep wall hood rises above the Wolf 48-inch dual-fuel ranges. Moreover, a large Sub-Zero 48-inch built-in refrigerator stands nearby.
