Beyond Cabinets: How One Kitchen Renovation Transformed an Entire Home

At Hykal Homes, we believe every renovation is more than just an upgrade—it’s an opportunity to enhance the way a family lives. This philosophy was at the heart of one of our most rewarding projects, where what began as a simple kitchen remodel evolved into a stunning transformation of the entire first floor.

Here’s how we turned one family’s vision into a reality and reimagined their home as a space where memories are made.

Starting With a Kitchen in Need of Love

When the homeowners initially reached out, they had already interviewed several companies to renovate their outdated kitchen. Each proposal they received was narrowly focused: replace the cabinets, add a new countertop, and call it a day. But the homeowners felt those designs fell short of their dream—a kitchen that could serve as the heart of their home, welcoming grown children, their spouses, and future grandchildren for family gatherings and celebrations.
When we met with them, we took a different approach. Instead of diving straight into measurements and finishes, we listened. We asked about how they used the space, their plans for the future, and what they envisioned for their home. It was clear they didn’t just need a kitchen; they needed a gathering space that could grow with their family.

Dreaming Big: A Bold Proposal

After touring the home, we realized the family had untapped potential in unused spaces adjacent to the kitchen. With a little creativity, we could expand the kitchen to create a massive kitchen with a showstopping 16-foot island, add a dedicated beverage wall, and incorporate luxury appliances like a Sub-Zero fridge and professional grade stove—all while maintaining a natural flow to the rest of the home.
The moment we shared this vision, the homeowners were all in. "Yes," they said, "let’s start tomorrow!" And we did.

The Kitchen Transformation

We started by opening up the floor plan, reclaiming underused space to extend the kitchen footprint. The result was nothing short of spectacular:
  • A 16-Foot Island: This massive centerpiece offers plenty of prep space, seating for the entire family, and hidden storage underneath.
  • Custom Cabinetry: Sleek, modern cabinets in a warm white finish, paired with gold hardware for a timeless look. We brought
  • Custom Cabinetry: Sleek, modern cabinets in a warm white finish, paired with gold hardware for a timeless look. We brought the cabinets all the way to the 11ft ceiling, creating a grand and luxurious feel.
  • Luxury Appliances:The dreamy Sub-Zero fridge was flanked by a beverage wall with a built-in wine cooler, coffee station, and floating shelves for glassware.
  • Lighting:Layered lighting included pendant lights over the island, recessed ceiling lights, and under-cabinet LEDs for a functional yet ambient glow.

A Ripple Effect: Transforming the Entire First Floor

As the kitchen came together, the homeowners realized they wanted the rest of the first floor to match its elegance and functionality. What began as a kitchen project expanded to include the living room, dining room, and a guest bathroom.

Living Room Updates:

 We replaced old kitchen tile and old carpeting with matching hardwood floors that flowed seamlessly from the kitchen. We refinished the hardwood floors, stairs and handrail to create a new moder feel with more natural hardwood stain.

 A custom-built entertainment wall with cabinetry and a modern tile surround fireplace
became the new focal point. We also added wall sconces to complement the modern
look of the living room.

Dining Room Reimagined:

 A built-in buffet with matching kitchen cabinetry and a quartz countertop created a
cohesive look while adding storage.

 New lighting and updated windows brought in more natural light.

 We refreshed the old paneling of the dining room by adding a modern green paint color
to complement the green tile selection of the fireplace.

Bathroom Refresh:

 The guest bathroom received a complete makeover, including a tall mirrors and lighting,
modern fixtures, and a stylish patterned wallpaper.

The End Result: A Home Made for Living

When we revealed the finished project, the homeowners were overjoyed. The kitchen was now the gathering place they’d always dreamed of, with plenty of room for their growing family. The expanded renovation tied the entire first floor together, creating a space that felt both luxurious and welcoming. The new kitchen was immediately put to the test. The family hosted a wedding inside the home, with the kitchen being at the center of the celebration!
