Sustainablility

Recycled materials are an element to sustainable design that has become a popular kitchen trend.  These beautiful hickory wood cabinets were salvaged by Ben's Repurposed Cabinetry and purchased to outfit two different kitchen renovations.  https://bensrepurposedcabinetry.com By incorporating repurposed cabinetry into the kitchen design we:

  • reduced the environmental impact.
  • gave new life to existing materials that would have otherwise ended up in the landfill.
  • saved money and stretched a tight budget.

Open shelving

By using open shelving we achieved functionality and aesthetics by:

  • making it easy to grab items quickly.
  • enhanced kitchen workflow.
  • displaying dishes, glasses and decorative items that add personality to the kitchen.
  • creating a light and airy atmosphere making it feel more spacious.

Retro Elements

The choice of hexagon tiles in this kitchen not only adds a touch of retro charm but also:

  • introduces a visually intriguing honeycomb pattern.
  • offers a clean and timeless aesthetic.
  • creates a striking contrast against the warm tones of the hickory cabinets.
  • adds a modern twist to the classic design.
