Chandeliers and Hanging Pendants Brighten Up Centreville, Virginia Kitchen
2013 NARI CAPITAL COTY, GRAND AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN UNDER $40,000
The homeowners wanted to update their kitchen, improving its traffic flow so more than one person could work in the space at a time. Other goals included lighter cabinetry, better lighting and more storage space.
Design solutions incorporated into the remodel include eliminating the peninsula and replacing it with a large island that seats four; adding a prep sink in the island; eliminating a closet and bulkhead to add space for larger appliances and taller cabinets; and replacing vinyl floors with wide plank Brazilian walnut.
Soft cream-colored cabinetry and exotic granite countertops make this kitchen lighter and brighter. Additionally, using recessed lighting with three zones and task lighting has also brightened the space. An arched mantel hood with matching corbels over the range created a needed focal point.
