Industrial Farmhouse Kitchen - Madison, NJ

THIS COZY KITCHEN IS GOING TO BE "LIT". THE CURRENT KITCHEN AND DINING SPACE IS SEPARATED BY A SHORT PENINSULA AND HALF WALL LEAVING ONLY 30" OF WALKWAY BETWEEN THE TWO. THE CABINETS ARE DARK MAKING THE SPACE FEEL SMALL AND TIGHT. THE WALL CABINETS AND HOOD ARE ALSO LOW TO THE COUNTER NOT GIVING MUCH ROOM FOR KITCHEN ACCESSORIES AND COUNTERTOP APPLIANCES AND IS JUST PLAIN AWKWARD. PROVIDING A FUNCTIONAL SPACE FOR THE USERS IS KEY WHILE ALSO CREATING A SPACE MORE INCLUSIVE FOR GUESTS. BY REMOVING THE PENINSULA AND HALF WALL, WE OPEN THE SPACE COMBINING THE KITCHEN AND DINING AREA. WE ARE REPLACING THE CABINETS WITH NEW FRAME-LESS WHITE CABINETRY WHICH WILL BRIGHTEN THE SPACE AND ALLOW FOR MAXIMUM STORAGE CAPACITY. BECAUSE WE NO LONGER HAVE THE PENINSULA WE RECAPTURED SOME OF THAT COUNTER SPACE AND STORAGE ONTO THE END OF THE WALL RUN AS WELL AS PROVIDED A MICROWAVE AND COFFEE STATION NEXT TO THE REFRIGERATOR. THE AESTHETIC IS LIGHT, AIRY, CLEAN AND CUTE. WITH WHITE CABINETS, COUNTERTOP AND BACK SPLASH WE ACHIEVE THE LIGHT AND AIRY FEEL. BY INSTALLING THE BACK SPLASH IN A HERRINGBONE PATTERN, WE ADD A LAYER IF DESIGN AND INTEREST. THE FLOATING CORNER SHELVES AND THE HARDWARE THROUGHOUT IS WHERE THAT FINAL LAYER OF COLOR AND CONTRAST COMES IN.
