The kitchen’s cramped and awkward layout meant it didn’t function well as a workspace for this couple who love to cook. While the home’s size didn’t increase, the amount of usable space in the kitchen increased appreciably as a result of a home renovation thoughtfully customized to the needs of these homeowners.
We couldn’t be more pleased to recommend Horizon for a renovation or new build – they are real pros at this stuff, in a way we have never before experienced. It’s all in the details, and these people are very good at the details!
This targeted home renovation focused on personalized comfort and smart utility. To better suit the tall homeowners, the team installed custom 38-inch high counters. The remodelling plan replaced the old basin with a wider, deeper double sink and added a secondary prep sink for better workflow. To clear the workspace, the renovation included a built-in appliance garage, keeping daily tools hidden but handy.
Lighting and Layout Upgrades
The electrical renovation significantly boosted the room’s functionality. Contractors swapped out dated pot lights for sleek, targeted LEDs. These now shine directly on the main prep zones.
To create an open feel, the kitchen redesign utilized space-saving appliances. A flush-mounted fridge and a slim dishwasher reduced bulk. The crew also removed several old units to make room for a new seating nook. To make up for the lost cabinets, new floor-to-ceiling cupboards were installed to catch every inch of storage.
Entertainment and Aesthetics
One major change in this home renovation involved the pantry. The team removed the wall unit and replaced it with an extended counter. This area now serves as a hub for casual dining and entertaining, positioned perfectly to capture the seaside views.
The interior design palette was lightened to fight off winter gloom. A vibrant blue tile backsplash provides a pop of colour, acting as a stylish nod to the home’s coastal setting.
Sustainable Renovation Practices
Sustainability was a core pillar of this home renovation project. Instead of heading to a landfill, the original kitchen was carefully deconstructed. The materials were donated to a group home up-island, ensuring the renovation was as eco-friendly as it was beautiful.
