Updating to Something New and Spacious
For our Spring Feature Project, we are featuring a kitchen design that takes the old and outdated to something new and spacious. Spring is the perfect time to update your home for a new and refreshing look with a more functioning kitchen. Kate Bjorke from Cabinet Discounters had a local family who found themselves in a situation like this. They wanted to make a change that allowed space for a crowd to gather. Using Brighton Cabinetry, Kate’s client chose Maple cabinets in an Autumn Haze & Cypress finish with a Heritage & Heritage VFP door style. They were very happy with how everything turned out, and now they are able to enjoy visits with family and friends.
More Space
Sometimes older kitchens are just too small and no longer work for today’s needs. This family’s home had the original kitchen from 1979 that felt cramped and lacked storage. They had a basic design in place, but Kate was able to make it even better. Better options like adding a kitchen island with seating. This allows workspace for preparing meals for your guest or family but still plenty of room for everyone to sit and hang out. One section of the room has cabinetry from the wall to the ceiling, allowing plenty of storage for all their appliances. This much cabinetry can free up counter space. There is even a place for the built-in microwave rather than having it on the counter or above the stove. Older kitchens were very limited on storage options.
New Storage
Older kitchens often lack sufficient, specialized storage for modern, larger appliances, causing a slower workflow. Updating to a newer design can add functional storage like deep drawers and pantries. It can also add vertical storage such as open shelving and wall-mounted racks to increase capacity without major structural changes. Outdated kitchen designs may not have enough cabinetry. The added island can also create more storage and prepping area. The family was very happy working with Kate and the selection of Brighton cabinets. Their new kitchen is now an enjoyable place for the whole family. It has given them a place to enjoy time with loved ones without feeling cramped and cluttered.
