They were ready to experiment with new cuisines and fulfill their passion for creating gastronomic delights, but sadly their kitchen wasn’t. They needed a cook’s kitchen that would give them the space and tools needed to comfortably pursue their hobby. And, they wanted a more sophisticated look that reflected their preference for contemporary designs, without going so contemporary that the room would feel cold or sterile.

The solution, Kitchen design concepts helped the homeowners claim considerable square footage for a larger kitchen by knocking down the wall to an old laundry room and repurposing the former breakfast area. This space was used for more storage and functional areas, and a bar was added for eating daily meals. A new stacked washer and dryer was tucked away in a walk in pantry/laundry room. New storage solutions were added, including a baking cabinet with an appliance lift and a special cabinet that easily hides or displays an kin kitchen TV. With all this added space, there was plenty of room to include the perks to enable the couple’s cooking hobby. The island was placed in a central location to provide more room for chopping, mixing and  plating. A second sink created a place for serving guest’s drinks and preparing morning coffee. Plus, a new warming oven, a water filtration system and all new appliances added to the room’s enchanced functionality.
