Calm and Contemporary
Contemporary Kitchen Remodel in Deerfield, Illinois
This contemporary kitchen remodel in Deerfield, Illinois was thoughtfully designed to create a calm, open, and highly functional space that supports both everyday living and entertaining. The homeowners wanted a kitchen that felt serene and uncluttered, with contemporary style, warm materials, and a layout that flowed naturally into adjacent living areas.
The original kitchen featured a dated layout with visual barriers that disrupted sightlines and limited functionality. By removing a raised breakfast bar and eliminating an underutilized desk area, the new design opens the kitchen to the breakfast room and increases the cooking zone space. These changes make the kitchen feel more spacious and connected, without increasing the home’s footprint.
Warm, contemporary flat panel wood cabinetry establishes a calm and inviting foundation for the design. The cabinetry’s streamlined profile is balanced by expansive countertop surfaces that provide generous workspace while reinforcing the kitchen’s clean, modern aesthetic. A waterfall edge detail adds a refined architectural element.
The cooking zone was carefully reworked to improve comfort and efficiency. Thoughtful appliance placement, expanded work zones, and a contemporary custom hood create a space that feels intentional and easy to use.
Storage played a major role in maintaining the calm design. Customized interior cabinet solutions ensure that everyday items, serving pieces, and specialty tools each have a dedicated place. This allows countertops to remain clear and reinforces the uncluttered look the homeowners desired.
The true standout feature is the custom coffee bar. Coffee is a daily ritual for the homeowners, and previously all supplies lived out on the countertop. They wanted everything to be handy and convenient, but also completely put away when not in use. The solution was a dedicated cabinet with customized shelf heights to accommodate the espresso machine and accessories, while additional storage keeps coffee and tea supplies neatly organized. When closed, the cabinet blends seamlessly into the surrounding cabinetry.
The completed kitchen reflects a contemporary design rooted in balance, warmth, and usability. With its open layout, ample storage, and refined material selections, this Deerfield kitchen remodel delivers a contemporary space that feels calm, connected, and beautifully suited to the homeowners’ lifestyle.
