Project Overview: This Bloomington kitchen and bath renovation demonstrates how white kitchens can incorporate bold color while maintaining a clean, bright aesthetic. The project transformed a tight 1960s colonial U-shaped kitchen into a modern, functional space that reflects the homeowners' vibrant style.

Client Description: These new Bloomington residents brought rich collections of quilts, Fiestaware, and vintage posters that inspired our design choices and color palette. They wanted a bright, clean kitchen that wouldn't compromise their love of vivid colors and personality-filled spaces.

Design Solutions: Our expert kitchen design team eliminated one side of the original U-configuration, creating an L-shaped layout with a striking green island. The renovation eliminated the former duplicative eating nook to create a door leading to a new deck, maximizing indoor-outdoor flow. Custom touches include yellow sconces, a red bird runner, and thoughtful space planning that maintains the home's colonial character while improving functionality. The upstairs bathroom renovation, completed at the same time, features a turquoise ceiling and door that jazz up bright white walls and tile, just as the green island energizes the white kitchen downstairs.

Outcomes: This project perfectly demonstrates our interior design team's ability to create clean, modern spaces that are neither boring nor cold. Infusing our designs with color and character, we create spaces that feel  contemporary, maximize functionality, and highlight individual style.
