It's Makeover Monday: Every Monday we look at a professionally remodeled kitchen and/or bathroom and talk about what is good and sometimes not so good about that particular renovation. This article is designed to help you with ideas for your project...so let's get to it.
I really like this kitchen. It has really interesting design elements of many different styles.
It also merges with the living space. The “Great Room” trend has been popular for the last 15 years, but this space is especially well executed.
Lighting
Crystal Chandeliers
Kitchen islands present lighting challenges. Most solutions are of the smaller colorful pendant variety. However, crystal is an elegant solution. Chandeliers are a good solution for island lighting.
Slope Ceiling Recessed Lighting
Yes, you can place recessed on a slope ceiling. There are two types of housings available depending on the angle of the pitch.
Gaggenau Wall Ovens
Gaggenau has become relevant again with really modern styling, great warranty of up to 7 years as well as some cool features like handleless doors (opens with a touch).
The steam oven on top can be directly plumbed, so you do not have to refill with water. Steam is the healthiest way to cook, because it does not bake out nutrients.
BTW, did you catch the Gaggenau integrated refrigerator at the end of the cabinets on the left? We have covered integrated refrigerators in other Makeover Mondays and wrote a Counter Depth Refrigerator Buyers Guide on the subject, but it is worth mentioning.
Gaggenau and Miele Cooktops
The cooktop is induction, but look to the right. That is a Miele vario grill. If you want a grill, a set of burners, grill or griddle, Gaggenau, Miele, Wolf and others will produce it individually. You can place it wherever you want.
Key Takeaways
You can certainly mix styles like contemporary Gaggenau wall ovens and traditional chandeliers. Island lighting does not have to be a pendants and recessed lighting can be purchased for any sloped ceiling.
