Putting the Modern in Mid-Century Modern

Dream Delivered in Columbus: Kitchen Remodel

Welcome to another transformation tale at Gentry Custom Remodeling! Our latest project, aptly named “Putting the Modern in Mid-Century Modern,” seamlessly merges the timeless allure of mid-century design with the sleekness of modern aesthetics in a stunning kitchen remodel. Located in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, this renovation showcases how thoughtful design choices can revive a classic space.

Retaining Character with Updated Cabinetry

The original kitchen featured characteristic mid-century wooden cabinetry that was beautifully nostalgic but in need of a refresh. Our goal was to preserve this historical charm while enhancing functionality. By adding flat-front cabinets with sleek, modern hardware, we retained the kitchen’s vintage feel but introduced a fresh, more cohesive look. The new cabinetry now serves as a perfect bridge between past and present.

Modern Materials and Appliances

One of the standout aspects of this renovation is the careful selection of materials and appliances that echo the mid-century vibe while delivering modern performance. We replaced the old countertops with pristine white quartz, providing durability and a clean, minimalist backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the warm wood tones. Stainless steel appliances blend seamlessly into the kitchen’s new design while offering state-of-the-art functionality.

Lighting and Accents

Lighting plays a pivotal role in any design, and for this kitchen, we chose fixtures that pay homage to the mid-century era with a modern twist. Streamlined pendant lights and under-cabinet lighting brighten the space and highlight the new backsplash of geometric tiles, which adds a touch of contemporary elegance. These elements not only enhance the visual appeal but also improve the overall ambiance of the kitchen, making it a welcoming hub in the home.

This remodel exemplifies how mid-century charm can meet modern design without losing the essence of either style. “Putting the Modern in Mid-Century Modern” not only respects the original architecture but also breathes new life into the space, making it relevant and functional for today’s homeowner. At Gentry Custom Remodeling, we’re committed to preserving the past while embracing the future, ensuring every home renovation is as unique as its owners.
