Everything counts, right down to the last detail. From the moment the design process started; the Musni’s had a clear vision of what they wanted in their remodel. With the help of Marlene, from I-Design Interiors, they were able to transform their 80’s kitchen into a modern, more open, light filled space where they can display their collection of Asian antiques.
The plan was simple: take down the kitchen wall to create an open space. With the center island open on all sides, the homeowners can cook while entertaining guests. They now have an unobstruction view of the family room and dining area while in the kitchen. The key to the transformation was lighting. An asymmetrical sun tunnel serves as the main light source in this interior kitchen, flooding the island with natural light. The ceiling was raised, giving the kitchen area more height, perfect for the pendant lights over the island. Finally, the cabinets, by Bench Made Woodworks were kept in a light maple finish to maintain the soft and airy feeling thoughout the kitchen.
The focal point of the kitchen is the custom hood designed by Josh Richie. The design was inspired by the yin and yang symbol with contrasting colors, and simple lines.
