"When she first met her clients, the design brief was clear. They wanted "a beautiful space to cook in, but also a beautiful space for people to gather at an island," Storms says."
"By lightening, brightening, and upping the functionality of the room, she'd create the family's dream kitchen - in the exact same small footprint. The project would just take careful planning and a little creativity."
""Taking the cabinets all the way to the 9-foot ceiling also was a great addition," says Storms."
"The layout had very poor flow - with four doorways [to other parts of the home] breaking up every corner."
Designer Sarah Storms revitalized a cramped, poorly designed kitchen in a 1933 Colonial Revival home in New Jersey. Originally dark and dysfunctional, the kitchen suffered from poor flow due to multiple doorways and dated cabinetry. Storms embraced the challenge by creating a bright and functional space, enhancing cabinet storage and optimizing layout for a more logical flow, all within the original 100-square-foot footprint. This transformation, achieved through strategic planning and design, exemplifies how thoughtful renovations can enhance utility in small spaces.
