MODERN / TRADITIONAL FAMILY KITCHEN, MONTCLAIR NJ
KITCHEN PROBLEM: The kitchen space was large but badly organized.
KITCHEN SOLUTION: Two principles guided the design of this family kitchen: sustainability and encouraging the independence of the 3 young children. All the space planning, and especially the cabinet storage and organization, was centered around creating a designated place for everything, and a comfy cozy seating corner. Arts and Crafts inspiration includes quartersawn oak cabinets, handmade backsplash tile, vintage inspired pendants and whimsical wallpaper with animals hidden in foliage. And how cute are those taco dinos?
The clients reported: “The kitchen is so well designed that there is enough storage space for everything (no more clutter!), enough counterspace to work and it feels good to be in here. Our oldest, who *never* sits down while he eats (to our dismay), is actually sitting on the banquette during meals.”
