Cindy and Chris had a townhome with a big-house feel but it suffered from a few dysfunctional rooms due to poor and dated design choices. Cindy and Chris needed room for their extended family and friends to enjoy the home.

The tiny u-shaped kitchen was located at the back of the house with the dining room situated at the other end of the home. The Love it or List it Vancouver design team called upon Merit Kitchens to help the homeowners. The result is a modern, chef-worthy kitchen large enough to have the whole extended family cook together. With a generous island and seating space for small gatherings, this kitchen satisfies any host and hostess’s dreams.

Another important consideration in the kitchen design was moving all small appliances off the countertops. Double ‘appliance garages’ met this need well, and were finished with stylish chrome cabinet pulls.
