Portland, Oregon Angled Kitchen Remodel
This Tualatin area kitchen remodeling project features an improved layout and gorgeous styling. Our clients were stranded in an awkwardly shaped kitchen that featured a peninsula between the kitchen and dining area, a chunk of angled wall that jutted out next to the French doors, and an angled island which made the space feel cramped.
Check out the details about this angled kitchen remodel below.
“The homeowners love the design because it offers a great overall flow and maximizes their space.” – Sandi Erdman
Project Objectives and Client Wishes
The homeowners’ primary goal for this kitchen remodel was to open up the space and improve its functionality and flow. The original kitchen, with its angled island, felt closed off and disjointed from the rest of the home, making it difficult to move through or use efficiently.
They also wanted to have more cohesion throughout the main level by replacing the three different types of flooring—carpet, hardwood, and tile—with a cohesive, single surface that would create a more polished look throughout the space.
Our clients’ wishlist for this remodel included:
- Open up the awkward space
- Create a more functional kitchen
- Replace the 3 types of flooring
Design Challenges
“The island shape and size was a bit of a challenge,” says Neil Kelly design consultant Sandi Erdman, concedes. Stone fabrication also influenced the size and shape of the angled kitchen island. The homeowners wanted to maintain seating for four and maximize their working kitchen countertop space. “We explored several different options and came up with a configuration the homeowners loved because it offers a great overall flow and maximizes their space.”
Design Solutions
It all began with the client’s favorite color and the stunning Illusion Blue Quartzite countertop. “We began there and designed everything around it to truly personalize the space,” says Erdman. The design features the desired seating area, a tall wall with pantry storage, and beautiful aqua-blue and light gray cabinets. “By removing the walk-in pantry closet and relocating the refrigerator, we really opened up the space,” shares Erdman.
One great space-saving kitchen feature? A pop-up shelf for their mixer. The improved kitchen also features all Viking appliances for a cohesive look. And on gray Northwest days, the homeowners enjoy their built-in Miele coffee machine–part of a custom beverage station. Finally, new hardwood was installed throughout the first floor, helping the whole space feel more open and unified.
