Elite Home Remodeling transformed a closed-off floor plan in Blackwood, NJ, into an airy, highly functional open-concept culinary space. By removing a central load-bearing wall, the team opened the kitchen directly into the adjacent living area, completely altering the layout to maximize flow, natural light, and usable work surface.
Key Features of Blackwood Kitchen Remodel and Expansion
Open-Concept Structural Expansion: Removed a dividing wall to integrate the kitchen into the main living zone, creating a seamless, expanded feel across the main level.
Custom White Shaker Cabinetry: Installed full-height, soft-close white shaker cabinets accented with matte black hardware, crown molding, and built-in pantry units framing the main wall and refrigerator.
Massive Center Island: Built an expansive central island equipped with an oversized white quartz countertop featuring subtle grey veining, integrated base storage, and comfortable bar seating for four.
Quartz Countertops & Subway Backsplash: Fitted durable white quartz surfaces alongside a grey subway tile backsplash that extends from counter to upper cabinets.
Modern Plumbing Fixtures: Features a black composite undermount workstation sink paired with a matte black high-arc commercial spring-neck faucet.
Upgraded Lighting & Electrical: Added recessed ceiling LED lights throughout, paired with warm glass pendant lights focused directly over the center island.
Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring: Laid rich, dark wood-grain LVP flooring throughout the entire space, giving the bright white cabinetry strong visual contrast while offering 100% waterproof durability.
Stainless Steel Appliance Package: Outfitted with a complete set of modern stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, over-the-range microwave, built-in dishwasher, and French-door refrigerator.
