Whimsical in Westboro

This modern design delicately combines elegance and simplicity to create a one-of-a-kind kitchen that intertwines an idiosyncratic style with universal functionality. 

 

With an intent to veer away from traditional white kitchen cabinets while still incorporating light and airy tones, an off-white, gentle taupe colour was selected for the wall cabinets. Both perimeter wall and island cabinetry are in MDF with a contemporary slab door (Deslaurier's "Urban II"), with sleek and subtle silver cabinet pulls furnishing them throughout. 

 

The back wall encompasses major appliances and offers maximum storage capacity with appliance garages taking cabinetry from the countertop to the ceiling. With countertop appliances nestled away, perimeter surfaces are kept presentable and clutter free. A custom island in a warm sea blue catches the eye with its unique colour and spacious seating for up to six. While a luxurious “White Macabus” granite countertops, supplied by Urban Quarry, dazzle the kitchen island and perimeter surfaces. 

 

This kitchen is nothing short of a dream for any home chef. Outfitted with luxury Gaggenau appliances, all of which are integrated flush within the cabinetry system, including a refrigerator with seamless overlay paneling. An eye-catching cooktop is also incorporated into the island with a retractable pop-up ventilation system. 

 

As the back wall houses appliances and immense cabinetry storage, the window wall is utilized to elicit an aesthetic statement. The intricately tiled backsplash coordinates perfectly with the blue island cabinets, granite countertops, and tile flooring. Three white floating shelves pair beautifully with the backsplash and offer open storage and room for display pieces. 

 

With clean lines, flush appliance installation, and beautiful flat panel cabinetry, this kitchen has a modern design for the ages.
