Thoughtful Kitchen Design

The kitchen set the tone for the space, beginning with the selection of a beautiful granite countertop, which provided direction for the other materials, chosen soon after. The materials used within this space flow naturally from room to room, with identical cabinet colours in both the kitchen and laundry room, but with opposite placements. These strategic design choices helped foster the visual fluidity this client was after. 

The addition of a hideaway pantry with extra, concealed storage space and the removal of vaulted ceilings in the dining area (which felt a bit like a tent!) opened up the space, offering a clean aesthetic and a more functional layout. A large kitchen island is a core component of the space, perfectly suited for family gatherings and entertaining.

Great Room Enhancements

The great room features a beautiful fireplace and built-in shelves, allowing for sentimental and personal touches the homeowners can add as they choose. And the space is complemented by a redesigned staircase, which contributes to the overall look and feel. By removing some of the oak and adding new railings, the staircase now fits in perfectly with its redesigned surroundings.

Laundry Room Rejuvenation 

Extending and redesigning the laundry room (by cutting into the master bathroom) was key to creating a bigger, updated and practical area the family can use on a day-to-day basis, whether for dropping their belongings when they come in the door, folding clothes or extra storage space. And a fun choice of flooring gave the laundry room a unique and eye-catching touch.

Ensuite Bathroom Transformation 

The ensuite bathroom was transformed from an outdated, ineffectively designed space to a more contemporary, effective one. The toilet was relocated and an older, once very popular jacuzzi tub was removed. Adding a spacious shower that’s more accessible for years to come will allow this space to remain both functional and modern. And despite cutting into it to accommodate the laundry room, this ensuite still feels like a spacious oasis.
