Modern Kitchen Cabinet Solutions

For a modern kitchen remodel, it’s common to choose full overlay cabinets because they convey the minimalism and clean lines that homeowners want to achieve in the project. “In a recent project, we took it a step further and selected high gloss cabinets from Plain & Fancy Cabinetry,” says Normandy Remodeling Designer Chris Ebert. “The homeowners wanted a white, black, gray and blue color scheme, so the cabinets are a combination of white and black, and look very sleek in the space.” “In a modern kitchen like this, you don’t want a really fussy countertop, leading us to choose a gray top with blue flecks from Cambria,” says Chris. “The space was pulled together with marble and glass tile backsplash that created a nice balance in the kitchen.” “The tricky part of this galley kitchen remodel was attaining the open concept the homeowners wanted,” noted Chris. “We were able to take down one wall, but the brick wall between the sunroom/dining area and the kitchen was load bearing and we had to work with it. The solution was to create a sense of congruity from one side to the other, and we did that by incorporating cabinetry on each side.”
