Photo Gallery: Kitchen Makeovers - Part 10

Before: Uninspired, Cluttered Kitchen

This old kitchen had busy floors and poor storage.

After living with this dated kitchen for 11 years, homeowners Christos and Petrea Adamidis knew it was time for an overhaul. "The old kitchen felt closed in, had zero storage space and wasn't working for our family," says Christos. Too-short upper cabinets needed extending, narrow countertops called desperately for deepening and all of the finishes desperately required an update.

After: Eco-Chic Kitchen

A double-galley-style kitchen provides plenty of room for a family of four.

A wall of energy-efficient windows floods Christos and Petrea's kitchen with natural light but cuts down on temperature shifts in the room. Bamboo was the obvious choice for new cabinetry. The honey tone adds warmth and complements the sleek modern hardware. Finishes and paints with low levels of VOCs were used throughout the kitchen — reducing odours and indoor air pollution.

Before: Kitchen Without Personality

H&H paired up with Ikea to overhaul a dull kitchen for a family of cooks.

Though spacious, the 10-year-old kitchen lacked character and was outfitted with bland standard finishes. The lifeless monochromatic palette was washed out, plus the dated ceramic tiles and appliances seemed like afterthoughts.

After: High-Contrast Traditional Kitchen

Senior design editor Cameron MacNeil added function and fashion to this space with a crisp palette.

Cameron chose classic white cabinets to contrast with the dark Hanstone countertop and graphic rug. Handmade water-hued tiles add gorgeous texture and shine. Larger industrial-inspired stainless-steel appliances make cooking easier and elevate the look of the generously sized kitchen. The cabinets around the fridge were built out to give it a more custom look without the expense of a counter-depth unit. Deep drawers for pots on either side of the stove make reaching things much easier.
