Design inspiration
European elegance inspired this design, featuring sophisticated elements like wallpaper and wall sconces that brought a sense of luxury to the tiny space. The use of open upper cabinets revealed glimpses of wallpaper, adding depth and character. Other thoughtful details included a custom faux leather banquette, floating shelves, and a larger sink window, which created a feeling of openness by drawing the outside in. Every inch was meticulously designed to maximize style and function.
The result
A hidden ceiling height was uncovered, allowing for the creation of coffered ceilings, which added an unexpected sense of roominess and a touch of luxury. The renovation team fit in all the necessary appliances, including a coffee bar, despite the small footprint.
