From jarring to calming
My client bought a 2005 house featuring a yellow kitchen and red and green accent walls. She and I decided on a Transitional kitchen style with a neutral interior color scheme.

COLOR: Cabinets are Sherwin-Williams Blustery Sky. Interior walls are Sherwin-Williams Aesthetic White.

DÉCOR: New onyx countertop and sleek kitchen sink complete the update. A gray kettle and natural wood items contribute to the minimalist yet cozy Transitional design look.
U-shaped kitchen started from scratch
Please note the “before” pictures here show the “after” new gray tile floor and dishwasher. Previously, there was only a partial floor and no dishwasher. This kitchen had to be gutted due to structural damage. The design goal was to create an updated look that maximizes the natural light.
COLOR: The color palette is gray/neutral with green and beige accents. Wall color is Lowe’s Quail Egg.
DECOR: I replaced dark pockmarked cabinets with Transitional-style gray tempered glass cabinets and installed an onyx beige-flecked countertop, along with a gray tile floor. The reflective glass backsplash features green, gray, and beige.
