Your Tailored Kitchen Awaits
This MERIT Kitchen on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, has the perfect blend of classic style and modern amenities.
This kitchen renovation project delivered an open space that added warmth to the rest of their home and felt like it was the way it should have been designed all along.
Using the Cordova door finished in a custom grey added another tailored feature and blended well with the warmth of the Espresso stain colour used on Merit’s Beckham style kitchen island.
The use of matching island cabinets and stain colour between the kitchen and the bathroom provides a cohesive flow between spaces and adds warmth into the rest of the interior design experience. A great way to add serenity to the start of your day.
What we dream may not always match what is best for the home, your lifestyle, the neighborhood or your home investment value. Having 3D renderings designed prior to your cabinetry order—which is a large portion of your kitchen investment budget—helps to put must-haves and nice-to-haves into a perspective that makes sense—dollars and cents.
Merit Kitchens’ Dealers help to bring your dream kitchen to life through detailed drawings before making your purchase, providing visualization of a kitchen you and your family will love for years to come.
Seeing a well laid out kitchen design like this one will help to realize the functionality your space will provide and ensure the style is something that suits your taste and lifestyle, and adds value to your home investment.
The countertops are Caesarstone, Empira White Quartz with a full height back splash wall. This adds beauty, warmth, sophistication and simplicity all in one place.
Wait, what?!
The drawings were done so well even the décor items were drawn into the rendered images.
Now that’s a detailed design!
