2025 Kitchen Design(Traditional) Winner: The Bright House
This gracious home with fabulous style and history hadn’t had a kitchen update and could no longer meet the needs of a young and growing family. Although the kitchen was connected to a dining space that could easily seat 16, it lacked enough space to easily prepare a meal or for a family to gather. The renovation and addition to this kitchen, as well as adding a large mudroom, powder room, open pantry and sitting room, created just that environment. A soft palette was chosen of white and light oak that ties in with the rest of the house and helped to create all-important continuity. The complementary white shades helped to enhance the incredible natural light that pours into the open spaces. The use of elegant arches creates a series of connecting spaces while maintaining the definition of each space. The same large-scale flooring was used throughout the first floor to further enhance these connections. The traditional flavor of the home is a perfect backdrop for the modern lighting that was selected. With a full view of the rear yard and an effortless connection to the remainder of the house, the kitchen is now the heart of this home.
What the judges said: Excellent space planning and storage. Beautiful custom cabinets — soft color palette. The millwork archway creates a thoughtful transition into the living space.
