One of our very favorite rooms to renovate is the heart of any home: the kitchen. Whether your kitchen space needs a minor facelift, or a complete rehab, J&J Construction is here to help guide you through the process. This Aurora family craved more space for a functional eat-in kitchen with plenty of storage. In order to achieve this we completely changed the footprint. We knocked down the wall that separated the kitchen from the dining area in order to create more kitchen square footage. Many families are opting to eliminate a formal dining room altogether in favor of a larger kitchen with bigger islands. We’re less formal today than in years past, and this is certainly a design that is gaining popularity among homeowners.
Kitchen remodels offer a host of benefits including an increase in property value and the opportunity to select more energy efficient materials. Only you know how your family lives and moves in your space, so a kitchen remodel allows you to truly incorporate features that are important to you. This kitchen is airy and bright, with a combination of closed and open storage as well as smart features.
We’ve selected birchwood cabinets in a warm tone, which are making a comeback in kitchen design! These cabinets in Chinchilla offer a Lexington door style. This rich tone is rustic and creates a welcoming, cozy space for both traditional and modern homes. To complement these beautiful counters are HanStone quartz countertops in Mercer. Mercer provides a pairing of neutral hues and earthy accents that deliver a cool and elegant style. Porcelain 3×12 tiles in this gorgeous neutral shade make up the backsplash.
You’ll notice the single bowl undermount sink from Kohler is large and functional, and the Kohler Simplice faucet in Matte Black adds a modern sophisticated look. Kitchen sinks are one place you don’t want to skimp, and this choice is actually one of the tougher ones due to the large variety of styles, materials, and mount options. You’ll use this every single day, and you want it to work for you. Additionally, you should feel confident in your faucet selection. Determining your faucet style will depend on how you’ll use it
Storage, simply put, is space available to put your things. Kitchens have plenty of items that require storage, and we hear time and time again that homeowners never regret adding more storage into their kitchen design. Due to lack of counter space, this family was using an old desk as an island. In their new design, you’ll notice modern and functional floating shelves above bright white cabinets. This can serve as a bar area, a coffee nook, or to place food out for entertaining. The floating shelves add a touch of elegance, and they can decide whether they will be more decorative or will store dinner or glassware.
Finishing touches for this Aurora kitchen renovation include luxury vinyl flooring in Brookstone Ivory and Benjamin Moore paint in Regal Cloud Cover. We all lead busy lives, and while the look of a wood floor is beautiful, it can be achieved without the hassle and upkeep. Gorgeous, quality vinyl flooring looks just like real wood, with the added benefit of being waterproof and durable. Luxury vinyl flooring will resist scuffs, scratches, fading, and stains! It’s kid and pet friendly, and easy to keep clean. Cloud Cover is a go-to white paint color for kitchens with hints of gray-blue. It brightens up a space and compliments cabinetry of any color or stain.
