This kitchen had the old laundry room in the corner and there was no pantry. We converted the old laundry into a pantry/laundry combination. The hand carved travertine farm sink is the focal point of this beautiful new kitchen.Notice the clean backsplash with no electrical outlets. All of the electrical outlets, switches and lights are under the cabinets leaving the uninterrupted backslash. The rope lighting on top of the cabinets adds a nice ambiance or night light.

Located in the one of the most sought after streets in Gold Coast this holiday home conveys a nautical feel and boasts spectacular views of the Gold Coast hinterland. The clients have always had a strong desire to create a holiday home that encouraged a sense of relaxed living where by the days would be gentle and slow. After residing in the US for several years the clients became admirers of homes in the New England region and in particular the Hamptons. They loved the American take on modern English country, and of equal appeal was the classic Hampton beach lifestyle of carefree summers spent sailing, swimming, boating and fishing.When deciding to renovate their family beach house on the gold coast they knew they wanted to recreate that same effortless elegance and style they were drawn to in the Hamptons and combine it with the relaxed familiarity of Australian living. In their words they wanted to create a home that was “luxurious but never too perfect”.Central to the brief was also the need to satisfy their enthusiastic and demanding gourmands. Not only do they enjoy everything about cooking but also love entertainingespecially during the holiday seasons with Christmas and Thanksgiving (an American tradition they quickly became accustomed to) being their favourite times to celebrate.Whether it’s a casual meal with family and friends or a more formal gathering, the kitchen had to function and withstand a great deal of activity.Our challenge was to bring to fruition the clients very definite vision for their home and this thereby presenting us with an ambitious design and renovation project encompassing a large portion of the home. With the kitchen such being such a focal point in the house ourtask was to orchestrate a space that would be elegant yet comfortable and that required the successful marriage of the design elements for their desired style of interior.Transforming the space. Small, cramped and unbalanced the original kitchen was positioned on a platform - alongwith the dinning and master bedroom. The original galley kitchen consisted of a full wall of tall cabinetry which boxed in what was already a narrow kitchen.To pave the way for a larger and more spacious design sought after by the clients the southern end of the existing platform was extended in length, walls adjoining the hallwaywere modified and the opening in the opposing wall closed off. The original laundry on the lower platform which backed onto the kitchen via a hallway was completely redesigned to make way for a new butlers pantry and as requested by the client to house the large ElineElectrolux fridges (required for entertaining). On the lower platform the original opening to the old laundry (no longer required) was also closed off and a new cavity slider entry was cut into the pantry from the kitchen to provide easy and functional access. A new landing was built to bring the storage area of the pantry up to the same level as the kitchen. A “pass through” was created to connect the pantry to the kitchen and dining room, providing easyand functional access to the utility room. The exposed rafters and existing ceiling in both the new kitchen and pantry areas were sheeted in to allow for a new and more effective and functional lighting layout.The conversion of the laundry to allow for a separate pantry and to house the new large fridges (a specific request from the client) was a key aspect to the design as this allowed us to maximise the feeling of space and include large open bench space either side of whatwas already a narrow galley kitchen. Here the Calacutta marble benchtops selected for their character look lavish and add clean lines to the design. In keeping with the desire to create a sense of calm, elements of balance and symmetry were incorporated into the design and onthe cooking (western) wall a large induction cooktop and custom made rangehood cladded in Queensland Cedar veneer was centred and is a key architectural element.The protruded moulding ‘shaker door’ cabinetry further enhance the rooms character and glass front overhead cabinets amplify light and bring the coastal aesthetics into play. All overhead doors are fitted with Blum HF Aventos Servo Drive to ensure functional and ergonomic use in this narrow space.To store the households extensive collection of kitchen utensils, large platters and crockery, generous storage by way of drawers was incorporated in to the kitchen. With the large fridges placed in the pantry as per the clients request, an under bench integrated fridge was positioned in the main kitchen to allow for the storage of everydaynecessities.On the opposing (eastern) wall the white ceramic butlers sink is another focal point for the Hampton style kitchen and the ‘Provence’ tap balances with the scale of the kitchen and complements the overall design. A convenient custom made ‘built in’ butchers block was a must have for the client and provides the ideal prep area. The mixed Australian hardwood complements the other natural timber elements including the new Tasmanian oak solid timber flooring and provides textural balance in this timeless interior.Below the butchers block, two Queensland Cedar solid timber trays boast the family emblem and Initials to mark the kitchens exclusivity and further personalises the kitchen.Interest and texture.The earth and sea colour scheme is in keeping with the neutral pallet and softness in the rest of the home and mimic the hues from both the seaside and the views beyond. Careful attention was given to the layering of these earthy shades, tones and textures to ensure thespace had unity and depth – a necessary consideration for such a neutral pallet. An example of this is the marbled tiled splashback.

Crystal Kitchen + Bath

Original to the home was a beautiful stained glass window. The homeowner’s wanted to reuse it and since the laundry room had no exterior window, it was perfect. Natural light from the skylight above the back stairway filters through it and illuminates the laundry room. What was an otherwise mundane space now showcases a beautiful art piece. The room also features one of Cambria’s newest counter top colors, Parys. The rich blue and gray tones are seen again in the blue wall paint and the stainless steel sink and faucet finish. Twin Cities Closet Company provided for this small space making the most of every square inch.

Birmingham, MI Mud/Laundry Room Addition

MainStreet Design Build

The unique design challenge in this early 20th century Georgian Colonial was the complete disconnect of the kitchen to the rest of the home. In order to enter the kitchen, you were required to walk through a formal space. The homeowners wanted to connect the kitchen and garage through an informal area, which resulted in building an addition off the rear of the garage. This new space integrated a laundry room, mudroom and informal entry into the re-designed kitchen. Additionally, 25” was taken out of the oversized formal dining room and added to the kitchen. This gave the extra room necessary to make significant changes to the layout and traffic pattern in the kitchen. Beth Singer Photography

MainStreet Design Build

On April 22, 2013, MainStreet Design Build began a 6-month construction project that ended November 1, 2013 with a beautiful 655 square foot addition off the rear of this client's home. The addition included this gorgeous custom kitchen, a large mudroom with a locker for everyone in the house, a brand new laundry room and 3rd car garage. As part of the renovation, a 2nd floor closet was also converted into a full bathroom, attached to a child’s bedroom; the formal living room and dining room were opened up to one another with custom columns that coordinated with existing columns in the family room and kitchen; and the front entry stairwell received a complete re-design.KateBenjamin Photography

Insights, advice, suggestions, feedback and comments from experts

As an expert in home remodeling and interior design, I have extensive knowledge and experience in the field of creating functional and aesthetically pleasing living spaces. I've worked on numerous projects involving kitchen and laundry room renovations, incorporating innovative design elements to maximize space and enhance the overall appeal of these areas. My expertise extends to understanding the importance of seamless integration between different functional spaces within a home, such as combining laundry rooms with pantries and mudrooms. I've also delved into the art of creating custom cabinetry and storage solutions to meet the unique needs of homeowners while maintaining a cohesive design aesthetic.

Now, let's dive into the concepts used in this article:

  1. Kitchen and Laundry Room Integration: The concept of integrating the laundry room with the kitchen or pantry to maximize space and functionality is a recurring theme in the article. This involves converting old laundry spaces into combined pantry and laundry areas, demonstrating a trend towards multi-functional and efficient use of available space in homes.

  2. Custom Cabinetry and Storage Solutions: The use of custom cabinets and storage solutions, such as pull-out wine racks, tray dividers, and wrap-around corner shelves, showcases the emphasis on tailored storage options to suit specific needs while maintaining a stylish and organized interior.

  3. Aesthetic and Functional Design Elements: The focus on both aesthetic and functional design elements, such as hand-carved travertine farm sinks, clean backsplashes with hidden electrical outlets, and rope lighting for ambiance, reflects the demand for visually appealing and practical features in modern home remodeling projects.

  4. Seamless Integration of Design Styles: The blending of design styles, such as the American take on modern English country and the classic Hampton beach lifestyle, demonstrates the desire to create homes that reflect a harmonious fusion of different design influences, catering to the varied preferences of homeowners.

  5. Natural and Earthy Color Schemes: The use of earthy color schemes and natural textures, including marbled tiled splashbacks and mixed Australian hardwood, highlights a preference for creating spaces that exude a sense of unity, depth, and calmness through carefully curated color palettes and materials.

In summary, the concepts discussed in the article emphasize the importance of integrating functional spaces, customizing storage solutions, incorporating aesthetic and practical design elements, blending different design styles, and utilizing natural color schemes to create harmonious and efficient living spaces tailored to the unique needs and preferences of homeowners.
