Designing a Space for Seating and Storage
The homeowners wanted a kitchen that would be both modern in style and practical in design. Their dream was a spacious, contemporary kitchen anchored by a large island with room to seat eight people comfortably. Storage was equally important—they needed a layout that would keep everything organized without cluttering the sleek lines of the design.
The main obstacle was space. While the room was large, creating seating for eight without closing off the work area of the kitchen was a delicate balance. The design needed to preserve openness while still delivering on the client’s request for a generously sized island.
Smart Solutions for Everyday Living
Designer John Giorgio addressed the challenge by making the most of every inch of wall space. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets were introduced throughout the kitchen, dramatically increasing storage capacity while maintaining a clean, contemporary look. Carefully integrated organizers, including a base spice pull-out, a pull-out utensil organizer, and a double trash pull-out, ensured that functionality matched style. Decorative door panels finished every exposed end, giving the kitchen a polished and cohesive appearance.
The island, finished in a bold black satin paint, became the centerpiece of the room. Its design allows for seating for eight while leaving the main work area open and accessible. This balance between form and function created a space that feels both welcoming and efficient.
Finishes that Elevate the Design
The cabinetry, crafted with Showplace International Plus satin painted cabinets, was done in extra white satin for a bright, timeless backdrop. The island’s contrasting black satin finish added depth and modern sophistication. Together, the finishes highlight the clean lines of the International Plus slab door style, giving the kitchen its fresh, contemporary feel.
A Kitchen Built for Family & Entertaining
The completed kitchen is exactly what the homeowners envisioned: a contemporary, highly functional space with plenty of room for both family life and entertaining. The expansive island comfortably seats eight, while the surrounding cabinetry provides storage for every need. The combination of smart design choices and sleek finishes has transformed this Pittston home’s kitchen into a beautiful, practical gathering place.
