A Contemporary Small-Kitchen Makeover

With limited square footage, every inch was important to create a contemporary kitchen full of usable storage and smart solutions.

One-Space Makeover

Before the makeover, the kitchen and dining room were completely cut off from each other, a characteristic often found in old homes, and removing the wall between the two spaces was No. 1 on the homeowner’s list of makeover must-haves. A casual peninsula replaced the wall and opens the kitchen to the dining room, allowing the homeowner to interact with his guests while he cooks.

Contemporary Chic

The peninsula that replaced the wall has a deep single-bowl sink and is the home for the kitchen’s dishwasher. The sink’s deep basin and gooseneck faucet not only look contemporary but can also handle large pots and pans with ease. Open shelving in the corner of the kitchen provides storage for the microwave and keeps it off the counter.

Let There Be Light

With limited square footage, creating enough storage space in a small kitchen can be tricky. A creative solution to the problem: One of the kitchen’s windows was reduced in size to create more room for cabinets. The homeowner added a skylight overhead to bring in more natural light.

Storage Smarts

Dark-stained cherry cabinets with Shaker-style doors balance the contemporary-meets-classic character of the kitchen. A built-in pantry was created in one corner of the kitchen, and a bank of lower cabinets and open upper shelving provide additional storage space that’s easily accessible from both the kitchen and the dining room.
