Open-Concept Kitchen and Dining Room Makeover

This non-functional kitchen had minimal counter space and an awkward layout. The basement stairs crossed the house at a 90-degree angle and came in halfway through the kitchen, effectively dividing the kitchen and living spaces into two small spaces and limiting design options.

Flipping the stairs 90 degrees so that they run lengthwise along the house allowed the open concept transformation. The detailing on the windows gives a feel that’s both French bistro and contemporary. Grey-beige quartz countertops with veining and slab wood cabinetry create a warm kitchen. The cozy dining space has a banquette with a round dining table and an oversized light fixture. A command center with a desk and open shelving separates the spaces. The adjacent powder room features a small corner sink and walls clad with grass cloth.
