TAILORED INDUSTRIAL - OUR UNIQUE KITCHEN DESIGN

Industrial Inspired Kitchen

These homeowners were plagued with a narrow, awkward layout in a closed off kitchen. The space had little clearance near the entry creating a bottle-neck affect. They wished to find a way to create a more open work space and room to entertain guests within their kitchen. We removed walls including a poor functioning pantry that housed the refrigerator. This opened up the kitchen to the rest of the house providing a beautiful view of the bay!

They wanted a commercial inspired chef’s style kitchen that still felt warm and inviting. With two cooks using the space we wanted to create different work stations. There is a cooking/prep area boasting a thick wenge end-grain chop block with knife drawer, trash, and vegetable baskets below. The 6” deep soapstone ledge runs the full length of the range wall providing a landing spot for oils, herbs and salt. The clean-up zone offers plenty of counter space at the sink, dish storage at the island, and another trash. The storage area includes a pantry cabinet featuring bypass doors with metal mesh accents, open walnut L-shaped shelves and drawers below. There is also a bar area with wine chiller, beverage refrigerator, and recycling bins.

The kitchen also needed to have a variety of materials to add charm. The use of a soft gray and a dark blue/gray paint feels welcoming and compliments the soapstone countertops. The soapstone adds character and charm to the kitchen. The cool tones create contrast with the warm toned maple floors. The rich wenge and walnut accents add texture and warmth to the space. A mix of brushed nickel and brushed gold accents provide the finishing touch in this kitchen blended with industrial and artisanal flare.

We transformed a closed-off kitchen into an open, inviting chef's style space with bay views. Featuring multiple workstations, soapstone countertops, wenge accents, and a mix of materials for charm, the design blends industrial and artisanal elements for a stylish finish.
