How to design a kitchen that looks bright and airy despite a lack of direct sunlight? Kasie DiNella, founder of Mend Interiors, used a crisp, cool white — Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace — on cabinetry that straddles modern and beachy in this new summer cottage-turned-primary-residence for empty nesters in Dennis. Contrast trim in a taupe-y neutral — Benjamin Moore’s Sea Pearl — adds warmth while a glossy, textured backsplash bounces around the sunlight that filters in. Using rift-sawn white oak shelves with a clear matte finish instead of upper cabinets helps, too. “They’re highly functional for daily use and encourage the homeowners to display personal items so the look can evolve with them over time,” DiNella says.
3 Renovations You Should Consider to Increase the Value of Your Home
Looking to increase the value of your home? Kitchen and Bath remodels are in the top 3!
The best kitchen pantry
“Many household kitchens are designed with maximum storage in mind, with cupboards, cabinets and drawers abounding. Even with all this original dedicated space, many homeowners still find themselves in need of additional storage for dry foods, appliances, cutlery, dishware or other kitchen supplies. A standalone kitchen pantry provides additional space in a smaller kitchen and a decorative element to a larger one.
If you’re interested in adding a kitchen pantry to your existing space, read our buying guide. Topping our recommendations list is the Home Styles Nantucket Pantry, a stylish coastal-inspired freestanding pantry constructed from solid wood, veneers and engineered wood paneling.”
A black kitchen can still look light
“Chris and Bryony Benstead recently took on an ambitious kitchen refurbishment project, which included knocking through into the dining room to create one large open-plan space.
Before, the kitchen was too dark and it didn’t have space for the pair to have family meals with their children. In total, the project cost £110,000, but the stunning before and after shots are enough to show that it was money well spent.
Ever keen to know the details of a kitchen renovation project, Chris and Bryony kindly showed us round and told us everything about creating their dream culinary space.”
Choosing the Perfect Cabinets for Your Bathroom
“When choosing bathroom cabinets, it’s important to select something that both meets the needs of your lifestyle and fits your design preferences. Bathroom remodels are often more complicated than kitchen remodels because it’s usually a smaller space and there are additional water, electrical, and drainage issues to consider. Today there are so many choices that it can be overwhelming. But stick to your plan and you’ll pick out something you can enjoy for years.”
