Colorful Collingswood | South Jersey

We redesigned all three of there plumbed spaces with functional and vibrant solutions in a home filled with charming details like original woodwork, arched doorways, and stained glass. 

The kitchen was a victim of what I like to call, no-man’s land. Previously, the kitchen cabinetry only lined the perimeter. As a result, there was a huge open space in the middle of the kitchen that wasn’t functional. We reworked the layout and shrunk the arched opening to the back hall so that we could add a peninsula, which completely transformed this space. We implemented a tuxedo-look for the cabinetry—a dark wood tone on the bottom with white cabinets above. This makes the room feel light and airy. A high-variation blue backsplash tile, light countertop, a custom window treatment, and gold hardware finish off the space.

We took the opportunity to design bold bathrooms. Off the back hall was a plain, outdated powder room. We decided to install a bold, botanical wallpaper with saturated tones. The vanity is classic and simple so that it doesn’t compete with the backdrop. Sconces pull a light pastel hue from the wallcovering. Upstairs, we designed a vibrant hallway bathroom. Clean whites, a deep teal and a cheerful yellow envelope this room in balanced color. A small white hex tile with a charming yellow detail, gives a vintage feel. Sitting on top of this mosaic tile are a yellow vanity and tall cabinet to handle the storage issue.
