Sacramento's Leading Experts in Kitchen Remodeling | HEX
Hex General Contractors recently completed this stylish and functional kitchen remodel in Sacramento, CA, transforming the space with modern elements while keeping it practical for everyday use. The homeowners wanted a functional kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances that would work well for their growing family while at the same time having a classic, well-styled look. Here's a breakdown of the key elements we worked on and how they enhanced the overall design.
Key Elements of the Kitchen Remodel:
1. Custom Lighting Installation:
We upgraded the lighting in this kitchen by installing sleek, modern recessed lighting along the ceiling and adding beautiful gold wall sconces near the windows. The combination of ambient and accent lighting ensures the space is well-lit for both functional use and visual appeal. We’ve seen sconces becoming more and more popular in kitchen, bathroom, and master bedroom remodels. They’re a classic, practical addition that adds an elegant look.
Benefits:
Perfect Illumination: The recessed lights create an even glow across the kitchen, eliminating shadows, while the sconces provide a warm and inviting touch.
Energy-Efficient: The LED lights are not only energy-efficient but also long-lasting, providing brightness without driving up energy costs.
2. Floating Shelves:
To add both style and storage, we installed minimalist wooden floating shelves above the countertops. These shelves provide a space for decorative items or quick-grab kitchen essentials while maintaining the clean lines of the design.
Benefits:
Open & Airy Feel: Floating shelves offer the perfect balance of storage and design without the bulk of traditional cabinets, keeping the space feeling open and spacious.
Functional Display: The shelves serve as a practical and stylish place to showcase dishware or decor, adding personality to the kitchen.
3. Subway Tile Backsplash:
We installed a timeless subway tile backsplash, giving the kitchen a classic yet modern touch. The glossy, white tiles run from the countertop to the cabinets, adding texture while maintaining the kitchen’s clean aesthetic.
Benefits:
Durable & Easy to Clean: Subway tiles are incredibly easy to maintain, making them perfect for a busy kitchen. They resist stains and are easy to wipe down.
Timeless Design: The simplicity of subway tiles ensures they’ll never go out of style, providing long-term visual appeal.
4. Marble Countertops:
We replaced the countertops with elegant white marble, offering a sleek, low-maintenance surface that’s both beautiful and practical for everyday cooking and entertaining.
Benefits:
Durable & Stain-Resistant: Marble is moderately heat-resistant, and is very durable, holding up well to scratches and dings from working in the kitchen. It is natural stone and will stand the test of time.
Seamless Look: The smooth marble countertops complement the clean, modern design of the kitchen, enhancing the overall sense of cohesion and flow.
5. New Custom Cabinets and Brass Hardware:
Custom cabinets were installed to maximize storage while keeping a clean, modern look. We paired these with elegant brass hardware to add a subtle touch of luxury to the space.
Benefits:
Maximized Storage: The custom cabinetry was designed to provide ample storage for all kitchen essentials, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
Elegant Accents: The brass hardware adds a pop of sophistication, contrasting beautifully with the white cabinets to create a refined, yet inviting, look.
6. High-End Appliance Installation:
We fitted the kitchen with brand-new, professional-grade stainless steel appliances, including a high-powered Miele gas range, refrigerator, and dishwasher. These appliances not only elevate the kitchen’s performance but also contribute to the sleek, modern aesthetic.
Benefits:
Increased Functionality: These high-end appliances offer top-tier performance, making everyday cooking more efficient and enjoyable.
Sleek Design: The stainless steel finish complements the kitchen’s clean, minimalist style while providing durable, easy-to-clean surfaces.
