A well-designed kitchen is the heart of the home, where families gather, meals are prepared, and memories are made. When considering a kitchen remodel, it’s essential to assess your current layout and determine whether it meets your needs. If the structure works, updating finishes, storage, and functionality can make all the difference.

Recently, J&J Construction had the opportunity to revamp a kitchen in Aurora, maintaining the existing layout while significantly enhancing its aesthetic and functionality. Our team elevated the space by installing taller cabinets, introducing brighter design elements, and incorporating a new cooktop to modernize the kitchen.

Maximizing Storage and Style

One of the first upgrades we tackled was increasing storage capacity. By extending some of the cabinetry to the ceiling, we created additional space while also adding a touch of visual interest. Practical enhancements, such as a Lazy Susan and soft-close cabinets, ensured convenience and ease of use.

The kitchen now features Woodharbor Breeze cabinetry in Hale Navy and Cascade White, complemented by a warm Doeskin color island. These color choices provide a timeless yet trendy appeal, while natural wood accents bring a classic, organic feel. A double oven and gas range complete the look, offering a combination of style and practicality.

Enhanced Functionality with Premium Fixtures

A well-thought-out sink area is key to an efficient kitchen. The double equal undermount sink is paired with a Kohler pull-down faucet in polished chrome, designed with a three-function spray head and a 360-degree swivel spout. These elements enhance daily kitchen tasks by adding flexibility and ease.

Aesthetics That Inspire

To add character to the space, we incorporated a 3×12 glossy tile backsplash from Crafted Vintage Decor, giving the kitchen a modern yet inviting feel. The countertops, in HanStone Tranquility, offer a crisp white surface with subtle charcoal veining, providing a refined, sophisticated appearance. The combination of these elements makes the space feel more open and airy.

Thoughtful Lighting and Finishing Touches

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a warm and inviting ambiance. We replaced outdated fixtures with recessed lighting and added a brass pendant light for a stylish contrast. Mixing metals, such as nickel cabinet hardware and brass accents, brings depth and character to the kitchen.

To complete the transformation, we incorporated elegant cove-style crown molding and painted the walls in Sherwin Williams Greek Villa (SW7551). This creamy neutral shade provides a perfect backdrop for the navy cabinetry and wood finishes.
