This new-build home originally suffered from an awkward kitchen layout, where the builder had squeezed in a walk-in pantry and an oversized island in a space that couldn’t comfortably accommodate them. The new homeowner’s goal was to create a more functional layout, maximize natural light, and infuse the rooms with a fresh, stylish atmosphere. By rethinking the kitchen’s layout and embracing a bold-yet-cohesive color palette, this home now balances functionality with flair. Natural light pours in through the new windows, brightening not only the kitchen but also the open-concept living spaces beyond. The result is a stylish, welcoming environment that reflects the homeowner’s personality—proving that even in a new build, thoughtful design choices can transform a cookie-cutter layout into a truly personalized home.
