After: By moving the window 12 inches to the right, Steeves was able to extend upper cabinets along both adjacent walls. This expanded the amount of storage space in the kitchen. She also maximized space with a lazy Susan in one corner, pullouts in the other and deep drawers in the lower cabinets for pots, pans, small appliances, canisters and more.
“The unbroken lines of the cabinetry give everything a streamlined look,” Steeves says. “Extending the backsplash tile all the way up the walls was also a way to avoid chopping up the wall. These things maintain a clean and quiet look that makes the room feel bigger.”
The cabinet hardware is streamlined and minimalist. The upper cabinet doors hang about 1 inch below the cabinet boxes, and the family simply uses its fingers beneath the doors to open them with ease. The lighting choices also have an uncluttered look. There are grooves in the bottoms of the upper cabinets to accommodate LED strip lights, and there are can lights in the ceiling. “We didn’t want to highlight the fact that the ceilings are only 8 feet high with pendants,” Steeves says.
