About this project.

For this modern renovation in a contemporary townhome, the goal was to create a kitchen that felt bright, functional, comfortable, and refined.

This townhouse kitchen design uses two-tone cabinetry, built-in appliances, quartz countertops, and warm accent details to create a polished kitchen that works well for everyday living and entertaining.

Two-Tone Kitchen Cabinetry

The cabinetry was built by Merit Kitchens, using a mix of shaker and slab door styles to add contrast and dimension to the space.

For the white perimeter cabinetry and upper cabinets, we used the Merit Denman MDF shaker door, painted True White. For the dark blue lower cabinets, we used the Merit Tofino MDF slab door, painted Summit, creating a clean two-tone kitchen palette.

Built-In Appliances & Range Hood

The wall oven and microwave were built in with a flush-mount installation, helping keep the kitchen streamlined and efficient.

We also did a built-in range hood with accent trim finished in Sequoia. This wood detail ties in with the floating shelves above the windows and adds warmth to the white and blue cabinetry.

Quartz Kitchen Countertops

For the quartz countertops we used the Cambria Portrush, which features a vivid white background with rich blue veining and gold flakes. This colour scheme complimented our cabinetry perfectly. Countertops were fabricated and installed by Colonial Countertops.

Brass Hardware & Finishing Details

Complementary brass and gold door hardware from Richelieu adds warmth and contrast throughout the kitchen. These details help soften the modern cabinetry while connecting with the pendant lighting, faucet, shelving, and quartz surfaces.
