Kitchen Re-Design with Functional Island Integration

As part of a full-house renovation, this kitchen transformation focused on reimagining a small, outdated layout into a refined, modern cooking and gathering space. The heart of the design is a compact yet highly functional island/peninsula that cleverly incorporates a dishwasher while providing ample surface for prep and casual dining.

Kitchen Concept:
Blending warm oak tones with veined marble textures, the updated kitchen strikes a perfect balance between natural elements and bold modern finishes. A matte black range hood becomes the visual anchor, complemented by soft under-shelf lighting and thoughtfully curated decor.

Design Features:
- A narrow yet functional peninsula island with integrated dishwasher
- Dramatic marble-effect backsplash and countertops for visual impact
- Open shelving with ambient lighting to highlight everyday essentials
- Sleek, custom cabinetry in a soft grey and wood mix for warmth and contrast
- Space-smart layout that improves circulation and adds seating

This redesign transforms a modest kitchen footprint into a bright, elegant, and user-friendly space that supports both cooking and conversation, all while respecting the constraints of a compact layout.
