Oregon City Kitchen Refresh

The owners of this 1935 Oregon City home reached out to Lamont Bros. to update their kitchen’s aesthetic. The layout worked well for them, but the space felt dark, outdated, and didn’t match their style.

What Were the Goals of This Kitchen Remodel?

The primary challenge was improving the lighting and updating the design without changing the existing layout or cabinetry. The kitchen had dark blue tile countertops and backsplash, making the space feel dark and dim.

With only one window, the homeowners needed a lighter, simpler aesthetic look to brighten the room. Additionally, the first floor had three different types of flooring throughout, and the owners wanted to update the home to have just one.

How Did We Solve These Issues in the New Design?

We focused on lightening the space to modernize the kitchen while adding sharp contrasts for depth. Dark quartz countertops replaced the blue tile, and our team installed a glossy white tile for the backsplash, providing a brighter and more current look. We also installed under-cabinet lighting to further illuminate the kitchen and make it feel more open.

The homeowners preferred to keep their existing cabinets, so we updated the finishes and features around them. We added black and white checkered tile flooring in the kitchen and living room, providing better design continuity throughout the first floor of the home.

Specific Products and Features Used:

• Silestone Quartz in “Charcoal Soapstone”: Dark quartz countertops added depth and contrast to the bright backsplash.
• Bedrosians “Cloe” Tile Backsplash in White: Custom white tiles provided a fresh, modern aesthetic.
• Viking 6-burner Oven Range: A high-performance, professional-grade appliance that enhances the kitchen’s functionality and style.
