“This kitchen was a remodeled using the existing
footprint. The space was very tight and dark, and the client wanted
a lighter, more contemporary feel. By using white and natural maple
cabinets and wood floors, we were able to create a warm and open
kitchen environment. Mixing countertop elements by combining maple,
glass and black granite also opened up that end of the room, as did
isolating the hood to make the space appear more expansive and
generous.

backsplash to create additional texture. We pulled the kitchen’s
colors from the slate, drawing from the regional palette; earth
tones are very complementary to the exterior environment. Using
organic materials like the slate calls for an earthier, more muted
palette, as the colors are not as clean or clear. Still, the use of
varied earth colors in the backsplash contributed to the warm, open
feel.”
