A Splash of Color

Maximizing Space and Light in Home Design

The Splash of Color project focused on reconfiguring and updating the main living areas to create a more open, functional, and modern space. One of the primary goals was to create a more spacious kitchen by rearranging existing rooms, which included downsizing the storage room. This allowed for the relocation of the main floor bathroom and pantry, opening significant floor space for the kitchen.

To bring more light into the home, the back door was replaced with a large, three-panel sliding door, allowing natural light to flood the kitchen and create a bright atmosphere while offering a view of the backyard. The kitchen cabinetry was transformed along with a central island. The perimeter cabinets were painted in SW Rosemary, creating a modern yet warm feel. The island was stained Black Walnut, adding a touch of elegance to the space.

The laundry and entryway from the garage were combined as a mudroom and laundry room, by the removal of a wall, creating a more organized and efficient space. The previously underutilized storage room was transformed into a functional office space.

The new bathroom featured a stylish new tile shower. A custom mirror was installed to tie the design together. The living room was updated with a custom knee wall designed to house the homeowners' "pop-up" television, enhancing both the functionality and style of the space.

The bedrooms throughout the home were repainted to align with the refreshed design, updating their colors to complement the rest of the space. We also replaced all the windows throughout the home, enhancing energy efficiency and allowing for more natural light to fill each room.
