Full Kitchen Cabinet Remodel in Tarzana, CA: Modern European Style

Project Overview:

The kitchen in this home was in need of a complete overhaul. The original cabinets were outdated and worn, and the countertops had seen better days. Our goal was to give this kitchen a fresh, contemporary look while improving its functionality and adding modern touches that would elevate its appeal. The client’s vision was clear—they wanted sleek, European-style cabinets, durable surfaces that could stand the test of time, and high-quality lighting to brighten the space.

Demolition and Cleanup:

The first step of any remodel is demolition, and in this case, we started by completely removing the old kitchen. This included taking down the old cabinets, countertops, and any outdated fixtures. The goal was to strip the space down to its essentials, leaving a blank canvas for the new design.

Our team carefully dismantled the existing cabinets and removed them with precision, ensuring that no damage was done to the surrounding areas. Everything was carefully sorted and disposed of according to the highest environmental standards, ensuring that old materials were responsibly recycled and disposed of. With the space cleared, we were ready to begin the exciting process of bringing the new design to life.

Cabinet Installation – A Sleek, European Look:

One of the standout features of this kitchen remodel is the cabinetry. The client wanted a clean, modern look that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing, which is why we chose flat European-style cabinets for the design. These cabinets are known for their minimalist appeal, offering sleek lines and a streamlined appearance that works well in modern kitchens.

European-style cabinets typically have a more contemporary vibe, with no visible hardware, creating a smooth, uniform look. We carefully selected high-quality materials to ensure both durability and style. These cabinets not only looked stunning but also provided plenty of storage space, helping to reduce clutter and keep the kitchen organized. The client was especially pleased with how the cabinets helped to create an open, airy feel in the space, making it feel larger and more inviting.

Quartz Countertops and Backsplash – Elegant and Practical:

To complement the new cabinetry, we installed stunning quartz countertops and a matching quartz backsplash. Quartz is an excellent choice for countertops due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and timeless elegance. It’s resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making it perfect for a busy kitchen environment.

The quartz we selected for this remodel was both beautiful and functional. The smooth, polished surface is easy to clean and maintain, providing the client with a practical workspace that will continue to look great for years to come. We matched the quartz backsplash with the countertops, creating a seamless transition between the two and providing a cohesive look throughout the kitchen. The result is a modern, sophisticated space that is as durable as it is stylish.

Lighting – Enhancing Ambiance and Functionality:

Lighting plays a crucial role in any kitchen remodel, and in this project, we paid special attention to both functionality and ambiance. The goal was to provide the right lighting for cooking and food prep, while also creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for gatherings.

We began by installing under-cabinet lighting, which illuminated the countertops and provided additional visibility for meal preparation. Under-cabinet lighting is also a great way to highlight the beautiful quartz surfaces, making the space feel brighter and more inviting. The soft, even glow of the lights helped to reduce shadows and improve the overall working environment in the kitchen.

In addition to under-cabinet lighting, we also added toe-kick lighting along the base of the cabinets. This subtle feature not only contributes to the kitchen’s modern look but also enhances the ambiance of the space, providing a soft, inviting glow during the evening. Toe-kick lighting is also practical—it helps prevent tripping hazards in the kitchen and ensures that the space is well-lit from all angles.

Fresh Coat of Paint – Tying It All Together:

Once the major installations were completed, we moved on to the finishing touches. A fresh coat of paint was the perfect way to tie the entire remodel together. The client chose a light, neutral color that complemented the new cabinets, countertops, and backsplash. The fresh paint gave the kitchen a clean, modern look and helped brighten up the space, making it feel open and airy.

The paint was carefully applied to every surface, ensuring a flawless finish that accentuated the modern design of the kitchen. It was the final step in transforming the space into something truly remarkable—both functional and visually appealing.

Final Results:

The finished kitchen remodel is nothing short of breathtaking. With sleek European-style cabinets, luxurious quartz countertops and backsplash, and ambient lighting features, the space feels entirely new. The modern design reflects the client’s desire for a clean, stylish, and functional kitchen that will be both beautiful and practical for years to come.
