Before & After: A Chef’s Stylish Kitchen With Smart Storage

H&H‘s Reiko Caron shares a stunning eat-in kitchen she designed for her friends Biana Zorich and chef Marc Thuet. See how she transformed their small, dated space with the help of AyA Kitchens.

Reiko removed the wall separating the kitchen from the dining area to create one large room. Then, H&H developed a custom hue for the cabinets with AyA Kitchens — a stunning midnight blue. On one wall, Reiko skipped upper cabinets to keep the room airy, while creating ample storage space elsewhere with deep drawers, a pantry and a freestanding cabinet. Patterned tiles add a graphic effect underfoot, while an extendible black dining table lets the family enjoy meals together. Together with chef-approved appliances and durable countertops, the new additions make for a dream kitchen.
