This stunning kitchen remodel in San Diego highlights a blend of modern and traditional elements tailored to the homeowner’s desire for clean lines and functionality. The kitchen’s flat panel doors and drawers feature an eased, rounded edge that softens the contemporary look, giving the space a slightly more traditional feel. At the same time, the rich dark red cabinetry provides a striking contrast against the lighter flooring, bringing depth and warmth to the space.
Though the kitchen is spacious, its footprint required clever design solutions to maximize utility and flow. One of its standout features is the tall, dual-purpose microwave cabinet. On the kitchen side, it serves its working purpose, while on the dining and living room side, it doubles as a display cabinet, acting as a sleek room divider with multiple functions.
The kitchen’s step-up island offers a casual bar-height surface, ideal for informal gatherings, and frees up space for food preparation.
This kitchen’s upper cabinets feature a mix of clear and frosted glass. Clear glass displays items where the cabinets back onto adjacent rooms, while the frosted glass on the kitchen side conceals day-to-day clutter, offering both style and practicality.
Above the island, a freestanding range hood takes center stage. Nearby, a large refrigerator is positioned in an adjacent alcove to maximize counter space.
A separate beverage station, complete with wine fridge and a coffee area, completes the design, offering both convenience and luxury.
