Transforming a Dark To Light Kitchen Before and After Photos
Transforming a heavy brown, burgundy, and gold-colored kitchen to a modern masterpiece is among one of my D’KOR HOME by Dee Frazier Interiors’ favorites. Beginning with new bright white custom cabinets and hues of blues, greens, violet accented with silver metallics is the balance of transitional and contemporary to perfection.
Dark To Light Kitchen Remodel Before and After
This kitchen renovation was part of a full home makeover. The client has lived in their home for twelve years and was ready for a home renovation. Many of the Dallas area homes have rich browns, burgundy, and gold colors, which made it dark and dreary in the house.
Our client was debating to either move or update their home. They loved the location and Drees Custom Homes floor plan & layout of their home but not the interior design dallas, home decor, and furnishings.

The Kitchen Renovation Interior Design Plan & Kitchen Remodeling Ideas
When we had our first design meeting with them, they knew from our 3D design plan renderings that they were going to fall in love with their home again, and they did! Our first step for all the rooms was to have our starting point. The color schemes that we decided to set the entire tone for the home were a spalike bluish teal, violet, and white. We also wanted to use silver-toned metal hues because they could not dream of even going back to gold.
The design intent was to create a bright and airy kitchen through the furnishings and color scheme. Our selections were a mix of transitional and contemporary in style and fit within the teal, violet, white and grey color scheme. We used washed grays as a wood finish to give the room warmth and blend with the warm tones of the wood floor.
Kitchen Countertop Selections | Dark To Light Kitchen Before and After
Our first step in the selection process was to find the right countertop. We ultimately chose White River granite, a blend of white, warm grey, and light purple. We chose granite because it provided much more movement in its design than quartz did, and the movement was what our client was most drawn to.Our first step in the selection process was to find the right countertop.

Flowing and movement, Dee transitioned the former deep-toned counters to a new white river granite countertop with a timeless gray & white marble basketweave backsplash. Using the existing stainless-steel appliances kept the client on a budget.

Tile Backsplash Designs | Dark To Light Kitchen Before and After
Next, we presented numerous samples of the backsplash to our clients. All of the tiles were neutral in color but had various designs. We selected a timeless basketweave in white and marble grey. The tile design added the perfect amount of pattern without overpowering the space. The geometric design gave the kitchen a transitional feel, and the marble added great visual interest and warmth. We chose a complementary white and grey marble tile for the decorative backsplash panel by the gas range.
The cabinets were previously stained, which made the kitchen feel very heavy and dark. We chose to paint the cabinets in a white to brighten the space, and we combined it with a light grey on the hood, stove cabinet, and island to provide contrast. The teal paint on the cabinet walls served as a focal point and provided great contrast against the white cabinets.
Redesign The Kitchen Island
This kitchen had an extremely functional layout, so we knew that we could achieve the clients’ vision of brightening the space without changing the room’s actual bones. We did, however, redesign the overall shape of the island countertop. We kept the decorative corbels but removed the curved side and square protrusions
The result was a clean-lined rectangular island that made the kitchen feel more transitional and updated! Swivel stools with a teal cut velvet back are one of the focal points of the room. The teal velvet strongly contrasted the white granite counters and gray island cabinets.
Kitchen Dining Table & Chairs
A rustic round wood table with an iron basket base fit the kitchen nook perfectly, and its round shape softened the massive amounts of linear elements throughout the kitchen. Unique grey, textured rope chairs with distressed wood provided the client with an intimate place to chat and dine.
Gray Painted Hallway Accents The Gray Kitchen Cabinets
With accessories and wall decor, color balances the entire house. Teal and purple agate wall décor, teal vases, and a large purple Italian glass bowl as the table centerpiece modernize the kitchen. A show-stopping dark teal-green credenza along the far wall gave the client plenty of storage and allowed a surface for accessories.
Custom Window Treatments | Privacy Shades & Panels
The color was carried throughout the room from the stationary geometric teal panels to the Greek key banding on the kitchen’s valance. A contemporary black and nickel chandelier with coordinating islands pendants made the space feel airy and light.
Kitchen Storage Furniture, Home Decor, & Accessories
We carried the iron from the table base to various pieces around this credenza- a petrified wood sculpture with an iron base, iron hands with a greenery filler, and a funky round mirror with an iron rod frame.
