Modern Charcoal & Wood Kitchen Renovation

This renovation refines a long, functional kitchen into a warm contemporary space that balances matte charcoal cabinetry, natural wood textures, and bright white tiling. The updated finishes, improved layout, and generous work surfaces create a practical environment for everyday cooking while giving the room a fresh, cohesive and welcoming character.

What We Did

• Two-Tone Cabinet Transformation
  Updated the kitchen with matte charcoal base and wall cabinets paired with warm wood-effect tall units. This combination grounds the space visually while adding depth and a modern, tailored look.

• Continuous Wood Worktops & Upstands
  Installed expansive wood-effect countertops and matching upstands that wrap around the room, providing generous prep space and a natural, inviting texture that ties the whole kitchen together.

• Classic White Subway Tile Backsplash
  Added a glossy white subway tile backsplash behind the hob and sink. The subtle bevel detail and light grout lines reflect light, protect the walls, and introduce a timeless, easy-to-clean surface.

• Integrated Peninsula Counter
  Extended the worktop into a peninsula that doubles as an informal dining and serving zone. This element improves workflow, creates a social focal point, and visually connects the cooking and seating areas.

• Refined Appliance Integration
  Organized built-in oven, hob, hood, and fridge within a clean linear arrangement. The black and stainless finishes coordinate with the charcoal cabinetry for a streamlined, contemporary appearance.

• Optimized Storage Layout
  Retained and enhanced generous drawer and cabinet storage along both walls, ensuring easy access to daily essentials while keeping the long countertops clutter-free.

• Updated Lighting Scheme
  Utilized ceiling fixtures and task lighting above key work zones to brighten the deep cabinet tones and highlight the texture of the wood and tile surfaces.

• Cohesive Material Palette
  Unified the space with a consistent mix of charcoal, warm oak tones, and crisp white elements. This controlled palette delivers a modern yet cozy atmosphere that feels both robust and inviting.
