Minimalist Kitchen Remodel with a Custom Slate-Blue Island

This remodel took a builder-basic kitchen and elevated it with custom stacked cabinetry, a striking slate-blue island, and sleek quartz surfaces that bring both sophistication and character. The result is a functional yet minimalist space that balances everyday practicality with a bold, high-contrast design.

Reimagined for Efficiency and Modernity

The focal point of this transformation is the bespoke custom island, finished in a rich slate-blue that acts as a sophisticated anchor to the crisp white perimeter cabinetry. The floor plan was meticulously engineered to enhance workflow, integrating a built-in microwave station and deep storage drawers directly into the island for a seamless, clutter-free look. Custom stacked cabinets with upper glass-front displays maximize the room’s verticality, while the textured subway tile backsplash and white quartz countertops catch the light to add depth. Every detail—from the sleek stainless steel vent hood to the warm wood-look flooring—was chosen to create a minimalist aesthetic that is as practical for meal prep as it is for high-end entertaining.

Transformation Highlights:

  • Custom slate-blue island featuring an integrated microwave and oversized storage drawer

  • Stacked architectural cabinetry with glass-front displays extending to the ceiling

  • Premium quartz surfaces with subtle veining and expansive workspace

  • Designer mosaic-patterned pendants paired with elongated silver hardware

  • Streamlined professional zone with high-performance stainless steel appliances
