A Monochromatic Palette

Remodel Project – Charlotte, NC

Objective: Design an open kitchen in a monochromatic color scheme with all functional elements tailored to the family’s needs.

Color is an expressive and fun element to include in a design, but sometimes, a monochromatic color palette creates a stunning and luxurious effect. This project utilized variations of white throughout the kitchen space, producing an elegant yet welcoming space for this family to enjoy together.

Kitchen Perimeter

The perimeter cabinetry, finished in classic Sherwin-Williams Pure White with a satin sheen, offers timeless elegance and seamless integration throughout the space. On the range wall, thoughtful storage solutions enhance both beauty and function: a built-in knife block, utensil divider, and utensil pull-out keep cooking tools within easy reach, while a dedicated spice pull-out ensures quick access to seasonings. A custom silverware drawer adds to the organizational flow, making this kitchen as efficient as it is inviting.

Kitchen Island

This spacious island, finished in Sherwin-Williams Pure White with a soft satin sheen, serves as the heart of the kitchen. Designed for both functionality and style, it features generous seating and prep space—perfect for gathering with family and friends during meal prep or casual entertaining. Custom-built-ins include a pull-out for pans and tin foil, a double trash pull-out for easy cleanup, a concealed dishwasher with matching paneling, and a hidden paper towel pull-out to keep surfaces clutter-free while maintaining a clean, cohesive look.

Unique Features

Features in the Monochromatic Kitchen

This stunning kitchen has numerous functional elements woven throughout that help this family keep the heart of the home organized with ease. Having a beverage cooler nearby means a drink is always on hand, and finding a glass to use is conveniently close. Puck lighting in the upper cabinets beautifully highlights the glass doors, and under-cabinet lighting eliminates those troublesome shadows that can make it hard to see when working in the kitchen. The elegance of this kitchen design integrates perfectly with the rest of the open concept and makes it a central hub for everyone.
