In a cozy home filled with laughter, a family with two little ones dreams of transforming their 'temporary' kitchen into an organized haven. Eager for more space and order, they embark on a renovation journey to create a harmonious hub for cherished moments and culinary delights. Valdis and his family like to cook together and long for an organized space to do that.
Before: life unfinished
In the heart of this home lies a perpetually unfinished kitchen—a dynamic space seamlessly merging a dining haven, a bustling work corner, and a cozy living room. A symphony of design aspirations awaits completion, as the family eagerly envisions a multifunctional masterpiece, harmonizing daily life with style. The existing solution does not really meet the needs of the growing family.
After: a sleek, modern and spacious solution
After the makeover the kitchen emerges as a sleek, modern solution in light tones—a spacious construction for family cooking. Ample storage and contemporary design blend seamlessly, creating an effortlessly chic haven for culinary pursuits where efficiency meets style with smart storage solutions, ensuring everything has its place.
Planning kitchen to fit your lifestyle
Crafting the perfect kitchen begins with thoughtful planning. Here, the Designer has optimized functionality by incorporating floor cabinets with convenient drawers, ensuring every inch serves your needs. Closed wall cabinets provide a sleek aesthetic while concealing clutter. Open shelves add a touch of accessibility for frequently used items, harmonizing practicality and design in the personalized culinary space.
Everything in its place
Kitchen drawer organization is elevated through the use of trays, dividers, and clever accessories. Order is brought to chaos as designated spaces for utensils and tools are created. Comfort is found by awkwardly shaped items in their own compartments, transforming once inconvenient spaces into efficient, tailored storage solutions for a seamlessly organized culinary haven.
Dining between kichen and living area
In an open-plan kitchen seamlessly integrated with the living room, crafting a distinct dining area is pivotal. Establishing different zones is key to functional elegance, where shared meals become moments of connection. Thoughtful design blurs boundaries while defining purpose, cultivating a harmonious space for culinary delights and relaxed living.
Small, but efficient: office corner
Nestled between kitchen and living area, a small, minimalistic office corner exudes practicality. Despite its size, it seamlessly blends into the cohesive color scheme of the kitchen and surrounding space. Efficiency meets aesthetics, creating a functional workspace that harmoniously integrates with the room's overall design, embodying simplicity in style.
"In the kitchen, it's all about planning, and a planner is a great help. It can be used both in the shop on site, where you can see and feel the different suitable facades and other elements at a glance, or in the comfort of your own home. With the planner's visualisation, it's much easier to imagine what the finished kitchen will look like."
