Before & After: A Functional Kitchen With Tons Of Storage
The vision? Breathe new life into a once-compartmentalized space, creating an open and functional layout tailored to a bustling family lifestyle.
In kitchen design, I often guide my clients toward using drawers for lower cabinets,” says designer Stephanie Martin. “While traditional doors require bending down to reach the back of the cabinet, drawers fully slide out, providing a clear view and easy access to all their contents. Various drawer compartments allow for efficient organization of pots, utensils or spices. Everything has its place.”

- The playful patterned backsplash and handcrafted cast-concrete hood—the centrepiece of the new kitchen – beautifully contrast the warm-toned cabinets.
