Contemporary Elegance: Transforming a Columbus Kitchen and Living Room

HomeProjectsContemporary Elegance: Transforming a Columbus Kitchen and Living Room
This Columbus-based home remodel project by Gentry Custom Remodeling was a true testament to modern design meeting functionality. The objective was to create a space that not only resonates with the homeowners’ style but also serves as a practical hub for our baking enthusiast client. Let’s delve into the specifics of this dream project…

The Heart of the Home: A Modern Kitchen

The kitchen, often referred to as the heart of the home, was reimagined with a contemporary aesthetic that exudes both warmth and elegance. The original enclosed kitchen area was opened up and replaced with a large island and generous cabinet space surrounding the work area. The choice of soft grey cabinetry provides a subtle contrast against the natural hardwood flooring. White quartz countertops reflect natural light, brightening the space, while the geometric-patterned backsplash adds a touch of sophisticated artistry. This design choice not only enhances the visual appeal but also offers durability and ease of maintenance.

Lighting and Accents

Attention to detail was paramount in this project. The kitchen is adorned with glass pendant lights that offer a minimalist yet chic touch, contributing to the open and airy feel. Under-cabinet lighting was also installed to illuminate the workspace, ensuring functionality is not sacrificed for form. The bar seating area invites casual dining experiences, while the inclusion of dark grey cabinetry in the wine bar area creates a visually striking element that anchors the room (wine cooler to be installed soon).

Functionality Meets Style

With the kitchen opening up to the living area, it was crucial to maintain a cohesive style throughout. The living room remodel embraced a minimalist approach with a focus on space and light. The high ceilings were accentuated by tall windows, bringing in an abundance of natural light and creating a sense of grandeur. The striking black marble fireplace serves as a focal point, complemented by subtle decor that maintains the clean lines and modern vibe of the home. The accent wall is adorned in peppercorn (on of our favorite colors), with offset geometric trim to blend with the non-symmetric window shapes.

A Seamless Transition

The seamless transition from the kitchen to the living room was achieved by the thoughtful layout and consistent use of colors and materials. The monochromatic color palette is subtly broken by the warmth of the wooden floors and the occasional pop of color from the décor, creating a harmonious flow.

In conclusion, this remodel project stands as a celebration of modern design that’s built for living. Each choice, from the layout to the materials, was made with the vision of creating a space that’s not only beautiful to look at but also a joy to live in. The result is a home that feels both inviting and effortlessly chic—a dream delivered in the heart of Columbus.
