Gegg

Formal Entertaining

300 - 400 sq. ft.

Drawing Inspiration

Situated in a home with a formal design, the homeowners wanted a kitchen that had formal elements but still felt relaxed. They brought in Gegg Cabinetry & Design to create the right look. The cabinets flanking the cook's area are simplistic in style, with a warm stain and glaze finish on cherry. All the cabinets on the refrigeration wall are set back into an arched soffited opening featuring a stone wall at the back.

The Winning Point

The island features some substantial design elements at each corner, but has a more casual finish. It is a nice transition from the formal hood to the casual cabinets at the perimeter.

Functional Frills

Appliances are abundant without being overbearing, and they are beautifully incorporated into the room's overall design. The hood features decorative elements in grand scale with a paint and glaze finish over a 60" range. The refrigeration was split into two 27" units to make them less dominant. A pass-through from the dining room was changed to a pair of French doors, improving access and adding yet another architectural element to the room.

Judges' Comments

"There are no voids in the design of this room. From the beautiful mix of materials to the custom spice shelving by the range, they thought of everything!"
