Project #6225 — Mississauga, Ontario
Quick Facts

- Duration: ~3 weeks
- Service Provided: Kitchen Renovation
- Project Area: ~125 sq ft
For many Mississauga homeowners, the challenge isn’t just updating the kitchen — it’s making a limited space feel open, bright, and connected.
Reno Mumu transformed this kitchen through strategic layout planning, reflective finishes, and carefully placed lighting to achieve an expansive and inviting atmosphere without increasing the footprint.
Design Concept — Expanding the Space Visually
The homeowners wanted the kitchen to feel twice as large while maintaining comfort and warmth.
We achieved this illusion of openness through smart design proportions, materials, and sightline control.
Key Principles:
- Open layout with partial wall removal to connect kitchen and dining areas.
- Unified flooring across the main floor to visually elongate the space.
- Light-reflective finishes in soft white and pearl gray to enhance brightness.
- Streamlined cabinetry without upper handles for a clean, continuous line.
- Warm LED lighting to maintain coziness while expanding perceived depth.
Materials & Color Coordination
Cabinetry
- Custom matte-white upper cabinets with soft-close drawers.
- Lower units in light-gray veneer for two-tone balance.
- Vertical grain pattern to draw the eye upward and increase visual height.
Countertop & Backsplash
- Quartz slab with faint marbling, full-height backsplash to eliminate grout lines.
- Seamless transition from countertop to wall enhances depth and continuity.
Flooring
- 9″ wide engineered oak planks, laid parallel to the longest wall for flow.
- Continuous installation through dining area to make the space feel unified.
Lighting
- 3000 K recessed ceiling LEDs for warm, uniform brightness.
- Linear under-cabinet lighting for shadow-free prep areas.
- One minimalist pendant over the peninsula for spatial focus.
