This kitchen remodel showcases sleek gray lacquer and wood veneer kitchen cabinetry and paneling. The combination creates a minimalist yet elegant design, accentuated by geometric tiles and glass accents. The Carbon Gray lacquer cabinetry works harmoniously with the Bergamo Elm veneer, offering a striking contrast while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.
A floating island with a pedestal base and open shelving add style to the gray kitchen along with integrated storage solutions. The island's sleek design provides plenty of counter space, with the gray lacquer cabinets offering a smooth finish that's easy to keep clean. The floating island creates a sense of lightness, while maintaining its central role in the kitchen. In addition to its storage, it includes built-in features like a sink, dishwasher, and pull-out cabinetry drawers, making it simple and inviting for everyday use.
The kitchen’s coordinating wine and coffee bar extends the gray kitchen aesthetic. The bar area uses the same materials as the kitchen, ensuring a cohesive and elegant design. With ample storage and built-in shelving, the wine and coffee bar serves as a functional extension, perfect for both intimate gatherings and larger events. Its design accentuates the modern vibe of the entire space while maintaining a clean, uncluttered look.
Gray lacquer cabinets featuring smoke gray elm wood veneer and carbon gray matte lacquer cabinetry add a high-gloss, sleek finish to the kitchen, creating a modern, sophisticated look.
The long central island was designed on a pedestal base to minimize its overall dominance and lend a sense of lightness to the space. Boasting the primary sink, dishwasher, pull out cabinetry drawers, counter seating, and ample space to gather around, the island is equally functional and inviting for everyday use and entertaining alike.
The kitchen's back wall features open shelving for convenient access to favored items, an 8-burner stainless range, and fully-integrated refrigerator and freezer columns. To maintain the refined lines of the kitchen, sleek carbon glimmer handle strips were selected for the island and the backwall is fully handleless.
