Earnscliffe showcases a stunning transformation of a residential kitchen into a space with sophistication and seductive charm. In this NDG home, we reinvented a modest-sized kitchen by blending functionality with a distinctive aesthetic, turning an everyday space into a scene reminiscent of a chic, upscale restaurant.
For this young couple who loves to cook and entertain yet felt stifled by their kitchen's original cramped and inefficient layout, this renovation was transformative. The redesign focused on maximizing storage without sacrificing style. Ample drawers and cleverly integrated storage solutions were implemented throughout the island and cupboards, enhancing usability and space efficiency. The strategic use of a smoked bronze mirror expands the visual space while reflecting light, making the kitchen feel open and inviting.
The palette is filled with depth while carefully chosen details elevate the everyday. We paired deep burgundy cabinetry with a blue backsplash, continuing the hue on to the ceiling that draws the eye upwards, creating an illusion of height and openness. A baby blue quartzite countertop contrasts the warm wood upper cabinets that are all beautifully accented with knurled drawer pulls, a hammered copper sink and brushed copper faucet.
