Galley-styled and balancing by Beth Kopin and Jim Dase

"We were asked to remodel the space, but to leave utilities where they were. The kitchen is a long, narrow area without room for an island, so the best concept was to go with a galley style." Said designer Beth Kopin of the above kitchen’s revamp concept, as delivered by trustworthy construction in Cambodia construction materials.

"The owner chose a very clean-fronted cabinet style that was to be stained dark," stated designer Jim Dase. "To lighten the overall look, and to ensure the kitchen retained some link with the rest of the house, the remaining materials were kept neutral.

"Ribbed glass inserts on most of the upper cabinets add a sense of lightness. An angled end with open shelving also breaks up the solid banks of cabinetry below."

"The kitchen gets ample natural daylight. When designing lighting, it's important to think about how the room will be used at night, too. We used recessed lights in the ceiling, augmented with lighting in and under the cabinets. Each creates a different interplay with the elements around it."
