Project Overview
This open concept kitchen remodel in Lakewood, Colorado reimagines a closed-off, dated main floor into a bright, welcoming space designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The homeowners wanted a kitchen that felt open and connected while still offering ample storage, clean lines, and durable finishes that would stand up to daily use.
Our goal was to create a kitchen that functions as the true heart of the home, one that feels calm, cohesive, and intuitive, without sacrificing warmth or personality.

Reimagined Layout & Flow
The existing kitchen felt compartmentalized and disconnected from the surrounding living spaces. By opening up sightlines and reworking the layout, the kitchen now flows seamlessly into adjacent areas, allowing light to move freely throughout the main level.
A large central island anchors the space, providing generous prep area, seating, and a natural gathering point for family and guests. The open layout encourages connection while maintaining clear zones for cooking, dining, and relaxing.
Materials & Design Details
The design blends modern simplicity with warmth through thoughtful material choices and layered textures. Dark-stained cabinetry grounds the space, while white upper cabinetry and light countertops keep the kitchen feeling bright and balanced.
Key design features include:
- Clean-lined cabinetry with streamlined hardware
- Light countertops that enhance reflectivity and durability
- Open shelving for everyday items and visual interest
- A patterned backsplash that adds subtle texture without overwhelming the space
An induction cooktop was selected for its sleek profile and performance, reinforcing the kitchen’s modern functionality while keeping surfaces uncluttered.
Storage & Everyday Functionality
Custom storage solutions were integrated throughout the kitchen to support organization and ease of use, including:
- Deep drawers for pots, pans, and small appliances
- Pull-out storage that keeps essentials within reach
- Thoughtful cabinet configurations that maximize usable space
Every element was designed to reduce visual clutter while making the kitchen highly functional for daily routines.
The Finished Space
The result is a bright, open kitchen that feels both refined and livable, an inviting space where cooking, gathering, and everyday life naturally come together. This Lakewood kitchen remodel balances modern design with warmth and practicality, creating a true kitchen oasis that enhances the entire home.
