Kitchen Renovation in Libertyville, IL: Modern Designs & Exceptional Craftsmanship
Lotus Home Improvement recently completed a stunning kitchen renovation in Libertyville, IL, transforming a dated, cramped space into a bright, modern kitchen. This project beautifully showcases our commitment to high-quality materials, functional design, and expert craftsmanship, turning an outdated kitchen into a clean, inviting space perfect for cooking and gathering.
Project Overview
Our clients approached us with a vision for a modern, streamlined kitchen that maximized space and functionality. They wanted a fresh, airy look with easy-to-maintain materials and an efficient layout. The existing kitchen had old, dark cabinetry, bulky fixtures, and a layout that didn’t make the best use of the available space.
Initial Design Challenges
This renovation had a few design challenges that needed creative solutions:
Limited Space and Storage: The existing layout made the kitchen feel narrow and cluttered. The cabinetry didn’t provide enough storage, and the workspace was limited.
Dated Aesthetics: The kitchen had dark wood cabinetry, laminate countertops, and tile flooring that made the space feel closed-in and outdated.
Lighting and Brightness: The original lighting was dim and made the kitchen feel dark, especially with the heavy cabinetry.
Our Solutions
To address these issues, we developed a modern design that optimized storage, maximized light, and gave the kitchen a clean, open feel.
Improved Layout and Storage: We reconfigured the cabinetry, adding ceiling-height cabinets that increased storage and created a more cohesive look. The new layout incorporated both base and wall cabinets around the refrigerator, maximizing storage and keeping the space organized.
Modern, Light Aesthetics: To give the kitchen a fresh, modern look, we replaced the dark wood cabinets with sleek, white Shaker-style cabinets. This change opened up the space visually, making it feel larger and more welcoming. We paired the cabinets with simple brushed nickel hardware that complemented the minimalist design.
Enhanced Lighting: To brighten up the room, we installed recessed LED lighting, which provided even illumination throughout the kitchen. The lighting, combined with the new white cabinetry and light-colored finishes, created an inviting and well-lit space perfect for cooking and entertaining.
Materials & Finishes
Every detail in this kitchen was chosen to reflect a clean, contemporary style with durability and ease of maintenance in mind.
Cabinetry: We installed custom white Shaker-style cabinets that reach the ceiling for a sleek, seamless look. This style offers a classic feel while staying true to the client’s desire for modern simplicity.
Countertops: Durable, low-maintenance white quartz countertops were chosen for their beauty and resilience. The quartz adds a touch of luxury to the kitchen while providing a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.
Backsplash: A crisp white subway tile backsplash was installed behind the countertops and around the sink area. This timeless design adds visual interest without overwhelming the space, keeping with the clean, modern look.
Flooring: For the flooring, we selected large-format gray porcelain tiles that offer a subtle contrast to the white cabinetry. Porcelain is ideal for kitchens due to its durability and easy maintenance, making it perfect for a high-traffic area like this one.
Fixtures: We incorporated stainless steel appliances and a sleek, stainless steel undermount sink to match the modern design. A gooseneck faucet adds both style and functionality, making everyday kitchen tasks easier.
Final Results
The finished kitchen is a beautiful, bright space that feels open and organized. The clean lines of the white Shaker cabinets, paired with the soft gray flooring and stainless steel accents, create a harmonious, modern aesthetic. The additional storage and improved layout have made the kitchen not only stylish but also functional, providing ample space for cooking and entertaining.
Our clients were thrilled with the transformation, noting how much more inviting and practical their kitchen has become. This project is a testament to Lotus Home Improvement’s commitment to high-quality, full-service remodeling that reflects both the client’s style and the practical needs of the home.
