HDR Remodeling tackled the renovation of this 1920s Berkeley kitchen remodel for a client who travels a lot and loves to entertain friends when home. The kitchen is truly the heart of her home. Starting with the design of this small Berkeley kitchen remodel, HDR Remodeling provided multiple kitchen layout models, moving the appliances around to allow for an efficient flow of use. This final layout optimized for countertop space, while still allowing for the client to entertain and prepare a meal at the same time.

The crisp, clean whites of the Italics Tile Miletus Honed kitchen backsplash complements the Concrete Leather quartz countertops designed for modern living. These neutral palates provide a beautiful contrast to the light and airy oil rubbed bronze Birch Lane island pendant lights found by the client herself, and like-toned wall sconces over the quartz kitchen sink. A touch of Hudson Bay Blue for the kitchen island cabinets adds a pop of color to create an inviting feel and to bring the kitchen together.

Our client had an important request for this Berkeley kitchen remodel when it came to the flooring. It was very important to her that the flooring in the kitchen matched the existing flooring throughout the rest of the house. While often difficult in a historic home, HDR Remodeling was up to the challenge and found red oak flooring sanded and refinished natural to replace the previously bare concrete styled kitchen floor.
