The homeowners wanted a kitchen that felt modern yet warm — bright enough for everyday cooking but cozy enough for evening gatherings.
Reno Mumu designed this Mississauga kitchen renovation around layered lighting, neutral finishes, and modern ergonomics, creating a space that blends comfort, beauty, and function.

Design Vision — Warmth Meets Modern Simplicity

Modern kitchens can sometimes feel cold or overly minimal.
Our design for Project 3227 focused on soft, inviting light and tactile materials to balance contemporary lines with warmth.

Core Concepts:

  1. Warm LED lighting (3000 K) to create a natural, relaxing atmosphere.
  2. Minimalist white cabinetry paired with light wood accents for contrast.
  3. Quartz island with soft edge profile for comfort and flow.
  4. Matte finishes to diffuse light and reduce glare.
  5. Integrated appliances for a seamless, modern look.

Lighting Strategy — The Heart of the Design

Lighting was the defining feature of this renovation. Instead of relying on a single source, the space uses a layered system:

  • Ceiling downlights: evenly spaced 4” LED fixtures in warm white (3000 K) for ambient lighting.
  • Under-cabinet strips: hidden linear LEDs to eliminate counter shadows.
  • Pendant lights: warm-glow feature above the island, highlighting quartz textures.
  • Toe-kick lighting: subtle floor glow for nighttime ambiance.

All fixtures were installed with dimmer controls to adjust mood and brightness through the day — a critical element of comfort in modern design.

Materials & Finishes

Cabinetry

  • Flat-panel MDF with soft-touch matte finish in Alabaster White.
  • Lower cabinets in Ash Oak veneer for visual warmth.
  • Full-extension drawers and soft-close hardware.

Countertops

  • 1¼” white quartz island and perimeter counters with light gray veining.
  • Eased-edge profile and integrated waterfall on one end for a sculptural touch.

Backsplash

  • 3×12 matte subway tiles in “Soft Cream” — subtle reflection under warm light.

Flooring

  • Waterproof SPC flooring with brushed oak texture for a cozy, residential tone.

Fixtures

  • Faucet: brushed-gold pull-down mixer with ceramic cartridge.
  • Sink: undermount single-bowl stainless steel.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Color temperature consistency: calibrated all lighting fixtures to the same 3000 K tone to avoid mismatched hues.
  • Electrical routing: concealed LED transformer wiring behind the pantry for a clean finish.
  • Ambient reflection: used matte finishes to diffuse light and avoid glare on glossy surfaces.
  • Pendant height alignment: adjusted fixture drop length to create symmetrical sightlines across the island.
