Kitchens Transitional Kitchen, Chicago

This transitional style kitchen incorporates a load-bearing beam into the design of the island. The island is large and serves as a breakfast area, as well as housing for a dishwasher. The openness of the space allows for social gatherings and family friendliness. The dark flooring works well with the lighter walls and counter-top to create visual appeal through contrast. The hanging glass lights provide not only the functionality of lighting the area but also elevate the room by adding layers to it. They also draw attention to the center of the room and create a focal point around the island that draw attention to keep the room open and keep all inhabitants connected.
