Our client in Aurora wanted a contemporary kitchen remodel that used sleek, clean, and modern design elements to shape the space. Since the existing floor plan already worked well, we were able to save both time and budget by focusing on updating and enhancing the finishes, rather than making major structural changes. This allowed us to create a fresh and functional kitchen that feels new without the need for an extensive overhaul.
To achieve a modern and cohesive look, we opted for custom cabinet refacing instead of a full replacement. The cabinetry was updated with sleek, flat-panel fronts in a cool gray tone, instantly refreshing the space. By refacing the cabinets rather than installing new ones, we not only stayed within the budget but also retained the kitchen’s original structure. The new cabinet fronts gave the kitchen a clean and contemporary aesthetic, transforming the overall feel of the room without major renovations.
One of the standout elements of this kitchen remodel is the introduction of quartzite countertops with a stunning waterfall edge, which add both elegance and drama to the space. The cool tones of the quartzite blend seamlessly with the modern gray cabinetry, creating a sleek, unified design. To enhance the modern look, we installed a 3D porcelain backsplash that not only provides texture and depth but also ties the entire space together with its unique visual impact. The combination of these finishes created a luxurious yet understated modern aesthetic that perfectly aligns with our client’s vision.
The addition of black appliances was key to creating a cohesive and sophisticated color palette throughout the kitchen. The dark tones of the appliances draw out the deeper hues of the cabinetry, adding depth and richness to the design. To introduce balance and a lighter touch, we incorporated open shelving that brought a neutral, airy element to the space. The shelving also ties in beautifully with the wood details from the adjacent family room, further connecting the kitchen to the rest of the home and creating a seamless flow between the two spaces.
To complete this sleek, contemporary kitchen remodel, we turned our attention to the finer details that enhance the atmosphere of the space. Custom window treatments were added to bring in soft textures and help regulate natural light, making the kitchen feel warm and inviting. We also installed updated lighting fixtures that provide both functional illumination and ambient warmth, elevating the mood of the kitchen and ensuring it’s just as inviting in the evening as it is during the day. These final touches helped to bring the entire design together, creating a space that feels modern, cohesive, and welcoming.
