The Return of the Scullery: And boy, do we love them!!

The scullery kitchen is making a major comeback in home design! This historic space was given a modern update while preserving its original charm. By adding extra cabinets to match the existing ones and keeping the original wall cabinets, we maintained the character while enhancing functionality. The result? A perfect blend of old charm and contemporary style.

How we created this space:
Preserved Historic Wall Cabinets – Honoring the past while enhancing storage
New Base Cabinets for Extra Storage – Seamlessly blending with the originals
Fun Mosaic Tile Floors – A bold and playful touch for added personality
Gorgeous Black Countertops – Sleek, modern, and full of drama

This updated scullery proves that classic design can meet modern convenience in the most beautiful way. Are you loving the return of the scullery? Let us know below!

REVEALING THE SECRETS TO GREAT KITCHEN DESIGN:

As experts with decades of experience, we know that a well-designed kitchen isn’t just about looks—it’s about functionality, flow, and personality! Whether you're planning a remodel or a refresh, these kitchen design secrets will help you create a space that's both stylish and practical.

Top Kitchen Design Tips:
The Work Triangle – Keep the sink, stove, and fridge in a smart, accessible layout, we can help you with this.
Layered Lighting – Combine task, ambient, and accent lighting for depth and warmth and plenty of brightness to cook. Oh, and NEVER install anything without a dimmer switch.
Mix Textures & Finishes – Contrast cabinet colors for interest, paint finishes, depending on location, with gloss, matte, satin or a varying texture for a designer look.
Maximize Storage – Add all of the accessories, pull-out drawers, rollouts, vertical shelving & hidden organizers are game-changers. They are worth every penny!
Statement Backsplash – A great backsplash adds personality without overwhelming the space.
Durable Countertops – Opt for quartz, natural marble or quartzite, or even a butcher block for a lasting impact.
