Customized Kitchens: From Bars to Workstations

One the most common spaces we renovate for our clients is the kitchen. Center of the home, kitchens are where families congregate and connect with each other. From sharing daily meals to hosting guests, modern kitchens need to transition seamlessly between many functions.

As an experienced residential remodeler, we’ve helped our clients create everything from custom bars to spacious island buffets to organized command centers. Our team loves finding innovative solutions to maximize and improve people’s homes.

If you’re just beginning to gather ideas and options for your next remodel, take a look at some of our favorite customized client kitchens below!

We love this kitchen’s comfy sitting room corner! It’s the perfect spot to chat with the chef as they cook, sip a glass of wine, or relax with a good book and warm cup of tea.

Who wouldn’t appreciate this vast buffet space for holiday meals? Especially paired with a separate fridge for stocking with beverages for guests!

One trend often requested by our clients is a bar/hutch hybrid like the image above. These areas are an elegant and practical way to get more storage and hosting features.

Another helpful kitchen add-on is a command center or dedicated workstation. Papers have a way of migrating to the kitchen anyway; you might as well create a place for them to live.

If entertaining is one of your passions, then a separate bar/lounge is an excellent idea for your home. This kitchen-adjacent wine bar is the perfect spot for pre-dinner cocktails or dessert and nightcaps!

This cozy corner booth not only adds considerable charm to this home, but it also doubles as storage space and seating for casual meals or busy parties.
