Sophisticated Elegance: Custom Quarter Sawn White Oak Kitchen with Mirrored Details

Remodel Project – Charlotte, NC

This project showcases a luxurious kitchen and dining area that epitomizes modern elegance and functionality by incorporating mirrored cabinets into the design.

At the heart of the space lies custom cabinetry crafted from quarter-sawn white oak, chosen for its durability and unique texture. The exquisite grain of the wood enhances the visual appeal and complements a sophisticated aesthetic that marries contemporary design with classic charm.

The cabinetry is adorned with stylish Belwith Keeler hardware, lending an air of sophistication and a polished look to the kitchen. Unique mirrored cabinet doors further elevate the space, reflecting light and creating an illusion of a more expansive area while adding a touch of glamour. The combination of these thoughtful design elements results in a kitchen that is not just beautiful but also practical for everyday use.

Functionality was at the forefront of the design, with features such as peg dividers in the drawers to keep kitchen utensils organized and easily accessible. A custom hood, designed to blend seamlessly with the cabinetry, serves both form and function, ensuring optimal ventilation while contributing to the kitchen’s overall aesthetic. The open layout creates a harmonious flow between the kitchen and dining area, allowing natural light to flood the space and making it ideal for cooking and entertaining.

In addition to its stunning design, the kitchen is outfitted with premium appliances that are both stylish and functional. A SubZero refrigerator offers ample storage for fresh ingredients, while a Wolf Speed oven provides advanced cooking capabilities that cater to all culinary needs. The integration of these high-end appliances ensures that the kitchen is a visual masterpiece and a fully functional space for the home chef.

Elegant gold lighting fixtures have been strategically placed to enhance the ambiance, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
