Open Concept Contemporary Kitchen Remodel with Smart Storage
This contemporary kitchen remodel in Xenia, Ohio completely transformed a dark, dated space into a sleek, functional hub for modern living. The redesign began with full deconstruction—removing cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and walls—to reimagine the layout for better flow and functionality. Structural updates, including new framing and concealed beams, allowed for an open concept that seamlessly connects the kitchen to the adjoining living areas.
The homeowners selected cabinetry in a rich gray/green finish, with soft-close drawers and custom storage solutions such as spice pull-outs, blind corner pull-outs, and a double wastebasket. Durable quartz countertops paired with a striking new island created both a centerpiece and practical workspace. Under-cabinet LED lighting, terrazzo pendant fixtures, and recessed disc lighting elevated the atmosphere while ensuring every work zone is bright and usable.
New stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, were integrated into the design, alongside an island range hood for a professional-grade finish.
The cabinetry was designed not only for style but also for efficiency, incorporating smart storage solutions throughout the kitchen. Features include a double wastebasket pull-out, a spice rack pull-out, a peg divider system for organizing dishes, roll-out shelving for easy access, blind corner pull-outs to maximize hard-to-reach spaces, and a casserole dish organizer. Together, these upgrades ensure that every inch of the kitchen is functional while maintaining a streamlined, modern look.
A standout feature of this remodel is the kitchen island, reconfigured with a half wall to showcase a stunning green subway tile backsplash. This detail adds depth, color, and a fresh contemporary edge to the space while maintaining an open feel. The sink wall features a full-height quartz backsplash, seamlessly paired with quartz countertops for a bright, polished finish that is both durable and easy to maintain.
To complete the transformation of this contemporary kitchen remodel, luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout the kitchen, laundry, and adjacent spaces, providing both durability and a warm, wood-like aesthetic. Together, these updates created a contemporary kitchen that blends beauty, function, and everyday convenience—perfect for cooking, entertaining, and family gatherings.
