The open space of this kitchen lacked function and flow and had very little storage. Despite the high ceilings, the kitchen cabinetry was tucked under soffits which gave the kitchen a cramped feel. The homeowners wanted a more efficient space, upgraded appliances, and a Scandinavian aesthetic.
The angled ceiling that opened across the dining room and up to the second floor created a challenge to keep the space cohesive. To create a focal point from the living area a hutch was designed to flow into the counter space yet still feel like a separate piece. Raising the cabinets to the start of the ceiling’s angle added much needed storage.
White cabinetry, geometric tile, open shelves, and two cherry hutches with a driftwood stain add a cohesive, Scandinavian look that blends with the rest of the home.
