Light, Organic Kitchen Remodel with Two-Tone Cabinets

The original kitchen leaned heavily on dark wood tones and bulky finishes, which visually separated it from the nearby sitting area and made the space feel enclosed. To counter that, the new design introduced smooth, light-stained cabinetry on the lower half, paired with crisp white uppers that lift the space and support a sense of airiness. A few cabinets were removed entirely in favor of floating shelves, perfect for a client who values minimalism over clutter.

One of the standout upgrades is the set of matte white appliances, including a streamlined electric range that blends beautifully into the countertop and eliminates the bulk of the previous stove. A floating hood adds to the clean, modern feel, while improved decorative and recessed lighting makes the kitchen feel brighter, more open, and more inviting. With thoughtful attention to existing flooring and a focus on tonal harmony, this kitchen is a study in softness, balance, and understated beauty.
