The Results: The transformation of this Wakefield kitchen is nothing short of remarkable. The removal of the wall between the kitchen and living space created an airy, open-concept design that perfectly suits modern living. The new space features: Design Elements: Crisp white Shaker-style cabinets with elegant brass hardware Light-filled space enhanced by a stunning triple-window configuration Custom glass pendant lighting adding both style and functionality Contemporary stainless-steel appliances including a sleek French-door refrigerator Sophisticated marble-look countertops with a waterfall edge on the peninsula Classic subway tile backsplash in a neutral tone Wide-plank natural hardwood flooring that unifies the space Smart Space Planning: The peninsula design creates a natural gathering space with comfortable upholstered bar seating, perfect for casual dining or entertaining. The removal of the wall not only opened up the floor plan but also allowed natural light to flow throughout the entire space, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Before and After: The contrast between the before and after photos tells the story of this dramatic transformation. The original kitchen, with its dated finishes and cramped layout, has been completely reimagined. The removal of the wall during demolition (visible in the construction photos below) was a crucial step in achieving this open-concept dream kitchen.
