Today, we're discussing a particularly stunning kitchen remodel that made headlines in Chicago. This project is a perfect blend of sophistication and functionality, designed for a family with young children. We'll explore how they balanced the need for a kid-friendly space with the desire for a chic, adult-friendly environment.
The homeowners, a couple with young kids, purchased their significant home for nearly $3 million. They wanted a kitchen that was both practical and stylish, with plenty of storage and a big pantry. We'll talk about the challenges of remodeling with young children and the importance of staying on top of the project.
They enlisted the help of a design studio to achieve their vision of a sophisticated, sexy kitchen with a touch of 70s charm. We'll discuss the design choices, including the use of dark cabinetry with just the right amount of blue, and the contrasting cool tones of the cabinetry with warm-toned flooring and brass accents.
The remodel cost $287,000, a significant investment that likely added value to their home. We'll break down the costs, including $16,000 for perimeter countertops and $25,000 for the island, both made of quartz and Bianco Superior Leather Quartzite.
The backsplash is another highlight, featuring a combination of light snow-white tiles and dark grouting, creating a striking contrast. We'll discuss the trend of high-contrast kitchens and the practicality of using black grout.
The cabinetry, costing $140,000, is a standout feature with its dark color and furniture-like design. We'll talk about the trend of dark cabinets and the importance of custom-built, high-end cabinetry in a luxury kitchen remodel.
The kitchen also features custom-made industrial chic pendants and a custom hood with brass accents, adding to the overall sophisticated look. We'll discuss the trend of making the hood a showpiece in the kitchen and the costs associated with these custom features.
Finally, we'll touch on the importance of using professionals like design studios and architects in achieving a high-end remodel. Their expertise can help homeowners navigate the complexities of a major renovation and ensure the final result meets their vision.
