Modern Open-Concept Kitchen

Complete kitchen gut renovation in Ridgewood. Removed a load-bearing wall to create an open-concept layout, installed custom shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large center island with seating for four.

Location

Ridgewood, NJ

The Story

This 1960s colonial had a closed-off galley kitchen that felt disconnected from the living space. We removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room (installing a concealed steel beam), added recessed lighting, and installed luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout for a seamless transition. The homeowners chose white shaker cabinets with brass hardware, a waterfall-edge quartz island, and a marble-look ceramic backsplash.
