Balanced Kitchen

This kitchen began as a typical West Michigan layout — factory-built cabinets, a condensed footprint, and limited organization for appliances. From the start of the design process, it was clear that natural light was a top priority for the homeowner. To brighten the space, we added two new windows flanking the range hood, allowing light to pour in throughout the day.

Equally important was creating a space that felt unique. The homeowners were drawn to modern design but wanted to preserve a sense of warmth and comfort. The result is a kitchen that strikes the perfect balance between the two. Sleek black lower cabinetry and a waterfall-edge quartz island bring a bold, contemporary edge, while the upper cabinets showcase rich woodgrain tones that soften the look and add natural warmth.

Beyond its beauty, the kitchen is highly functional — with generous storage and dedicated space for every appliance. This space now blends modern design with timeless comfort, offering a perfect harmony of style and function.
