The owner of this Anaheim Hills home needed a bit more style in their daily lives, which is why they came to APlus Interior Design and Remodeling for a swanky kitchen makeover.
Before
Prior to our remodeling, the kitchen just didn’t meet the requirements of the homeowner, in looks or practicality. They wanted more storage, and a smarter cabinet system that could conceal any and all clutter. Additionally, they wanted space for casual dining and entertaining. The solutions they needed had to be stylish enough to match the rest of their trendy abode, designed with a modern look.
Restructuring
Our team helped the homeowner decide on a new layout for the transitional kitchen, one that made the most of the space while keeping the area open and inviting. Most of the cabinets and appliances were lined up against the outer walls in an L-shape, save for a large new double-leveled kitchen island, with one side serving as a bar and the other as a cooking space. On the other side near the bar, a small liquor cabinet area was installed in the recessed place between the walls of the living room.
We designed custom cabinetry for them using Euro face frame maple with a dark wood espresso finish. Shaker style cabinet fronts were used on most of the doors, though Slab styles were chosen for the smaller drawers to keep the look streamlined. Some of the dish cabinets were effaced with frosted glass panels, and lit within for easy visibility. All of the cabinetry was fixed with Merrick handles, with squared off edges and a stainless steel finish that matches the new appliances.
Seashell polished countertops by Pental contrast cleanly against the black cabinetry. Their 1 ½” straight edge keeps the style simple and in line with the minimalistic theme. A full height backsplash was installed with glazed gray horizontal tiles, and the floor was also redone in gray, with Eleganza’s Loft Grigo tiles in “Natural Grey”.
Appliances
A Thermador Masterpiece Deluxe 36” Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop with 5 burners serves as the centerpiece of the kitchen island. This placement is the most functional, with plenty of counter space to accommodate food preparation around the range. Thermador also supplied the Topaz Series Dishwasher installed opposite the island, and the Masterpiece Series 30” Double Electric Wall Oven that has been encased in the cabinetry alongside the Samsung 28.5 cu. ft. 3 French Door Refrigerator. Facing the light filled window is a large stainless steel under-mount sink with a flexible double faucet.
With our help, this client was able to turn the kitchen of their Anaheim Hills home a remodeled masterpiece. If you’re interested in a remodel of your own home within Orange county, get in touch with APlus today!
