This family pined for an open floor plan fusing the public areas (kitchen/dining/living room). The trick in doing so while maintaining each zone's identity and coziness (we don't want a warehouse, after all) is manifold: change the cabinetry doorstyle and/or finish, add a header between functions, window height changes, tall end-run cabinetry, flooring variations, shifting lighting scenarios and many more. This plan involved utilizing both cabinetry finish delineation and a tall refrigerator cabinet to define dining and kitchen. Then a rug was chosen for a soft separation from dining to living room. We appreciate the beautifully designed dish-ware hutch completed expertly with handmade, diamond-shaped aqua tile.
Of Note — Once again we nudged clients to implement compelling windows flanking the range-top, rather than simply tossing up superfluous upper cabinets...which would have relegated that much-used functionality to a sad, dreary state. Perhaps the reader can imagine the difference?
