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.

The finer details

Client testimonials

"We hired Waterfront Home Improvements to renovate our kitchen, which included structural work and raising our ceiling height. From start to finish, Julie and Chris did a stellar job. They were organized, transparent about the process, and into the details, which we liked. Having Julie help with the design process was a huge help. She understood our taste and vision, spending time sourcing the finishes that would translate it into reality. We would certainly hire them again for our next project."
