A Case Study for this impressive kitchen renovation!

We recently completed this gorgeous kitchen renovation project, all designed and installed by our incredible team at the Kitchen Design Center by Gramophone. The client made some fabulous choices and the result is there for everyone to see and get inspired by: a truly unique and stunning kitchen! So let’s dive in! 


Before the renovation, when we first looked at the kitchen, it was clear that the space was already nice and the main issue is that it was a bit darker than the owner wanted, and also a bit dated, which is something that often happens. People change their lifestyles, they get older, their lives take a different path and their homes should be reflecting those changes as well. So our mission began with the main focus being to add more light to the space and make some adjustments in design and functionality. More than anything, the kitchen was just another in the world, with nothing that really highlighted the client’s personality and tastes.


Although the cabinetry was white, the kitchen was dark mainly due to the black granite countertop and the black flooring. With the green splashback combined with the dark silver hardware, appliances, and sink, and not ignoring the dated light fixture, we had a lot of work on our hands! 


If you pay close attention, you’ll see that the space itself didn’t change much, as we kept the walls, island, and oven in the same position as before. These weren’t problems from a design and install perspective, and also because there were no complaints about it from the client.


We were so happy and excited when the client chose this beautiful and unique cabinetry color by Dura Supreme! It is definitely the highlight of this project as it gives the space not only a brighter vibe but also a modern flare! The floors were replaced by a much lighter color, as well as the sink by Kohler which is now white. Extra attention to the gorgeous waterfall countertop! It is now in a much brighter quartz tone by Classic Granite & Marble and the splashback follows the same choice, creating a sense of unity and neatness. The design of the waterfall countertop is important in finishing off and bringing fluidity to this stunning kitchen! 


The pot filler was another great addition! This item is very popular and was added mainly for functionality, but also to add style to the space, especially with the golden color that accompanies the faucet, both by Brizo® Kitchen & Bath. The space and design are tied with the light fixtures that follow the colors of the bronze hardware by Jeffrey Alexander Brands


The transformation is clear and now this kitchen is booming with light and personality! Definitely one of the prettiest kitchens we’ve had the pleasure of designing and installing! See all the photos of this project by clicking here!
