Narrow Kitchen Transformed From Dark And Cramped To Bright And Airy

Narrow Kitchen Transformed From Dark And Cramped To Bright And Airy

A small kitchen can feel cramped and dark due to poor structure and dark cabinets.

This chicago townhouse kitchen opens sight between dining and kitchen by removing blocking beams

and adjusting cabinet layout. BEHOME follows this renovation idea to maximize light and

storage for family friendly transitional kitchen.

BEFORE:A beam with plumbing stack blocks the view from dining area to kitchen and hides potential water leak risk.

AFTER:Remove the beam and use floor to ceiling cabinets to lift visual height.

Leave gaps at cabinet ends for better openness and pet bowls.

BEFORE:Fridge sticks out past countertop and the space between upper and lower cabinets is underused.

AFTER:Add surrounding cabinets with panel ready fridge and pull out pantry. Misty blue beaded shaker doors

and brass hardware create soft transitional look.

BEFORE:The garden window brings natural light, but dark blue cabinets and granite countertop make the space dark and heavy.

AFTER:New window frame matches trim with linen roman shades. Sink zone has pull out bin and double drawer dishwasher.

Fluted glass niche and pull out tall cabinets store baking supplies.

BEFORE:Microwave sits above cooktop. Full height cabinets on the left squeeze space and create a tunnel-like feel.

AFTER:Rearrange cabinets around cooktop to expand prep zone.

Move microwave into appliance cabinet and add matching custom range hood for a clean wide layout.
