A Small Corner Kitchen Gets A Light & Airy Makeover
When this homeowner, Stephanie Lloyd, decided to update her builder-basic kitchen, she knew exactly where to go. Known for their quality made-to-order cabinetry with hand-finished details, Merit Kitchens refreshed the space with their new Denman low profile door style, smart storage and organizational solutions. Now, the kitchen is perfectly suited for Stephanie and her family.
“The Merit Kitchens team was able to quickly troubleshoot any issues and offer valuable design advice,” says Stephanie. Scroll down to take a tour!
The custom upper cabinets and vent cover are finished in Snow White, breathing new life into the fully customized space. The backsplash—made of handmade Italian tile and set in a herringbone pattern, is the perfect modern accent.
Eye-catching white and brass pendant lights complement the satin brass hardware.
Merit enclosed the refrigerator, adding counter depth storage space above, perfect for cookie sheets and cutting boards.
The kitchen looks out to a bright and beautiful view of the living room. The new cabinets, hardware and accessories now echo the breezy renovated elegance of the rest of the home.
Floating shelves add visual interest and provide stylish storage to show off favorite cookbooks.
The quartz countertops and tiles include warm flecks of gold that complement the brass hardware, wall sconce and pendant lights.
Merit Kitchens designs and builds quality made-to-order cabinetry, providing a full custom finished look without the full custom price. The result: your beautiful new kitchen is perfectly tailored to you and your family.
