This modern kitchen remodel at 1460 Summit Rd combines soft blue and white flat-panel cabinetry with light wood finishes and a bright, understated palette. The finished kitchen features white countertops, a tiled backsplash, peninsula seating, integrated storage and stainless-steel appliances. Large windows bring natural light into the kitchen, while wood flooring and cabinetry accents add warmth to the clean-lined design.
Project: 1460 Summit Rd
Project Type: Kitchen Remodel
Style: Modern/Contemporary
Location: Berkeley, CA
Features: Flat-panel cabinetry, peninsula seating, white countertops, tiled backsplash, wood flooring
The kitchen uses a mix of white and soft blue flat-panel cabinetry rather than carrying a single cabinet finish throughout the room. Light wood surrounds and trim soften the blue and white palette and connect naturally with the wide-plank wood flooring.
Storage extends vertically through the tall cabinetry, including a built-in appliance area. On the opposite side, the cooking zone keeps the cooktop, oven, countertop workspace and upper storage together. The peninsula adds another work surface along with casual seating without visually closing off the kitchen.
