Quick Facts

  • Duration: ~3.5 weeks

This North York renovation transformed a dark, outdated kitchen into a bright, functional space designed for comfort and daily convenience.
The highlight of this remodel is the custom multi-drawer cabinet system — designed for efficient storage and easy access — paired with a clean, white-on-white modern color palette.

Design Focus — Smart Storage Meets Modern Elegance

Homeowners in North York often need kitchens that are both practical and minimalistic.
This project achieved that balance through multi-level drawer organization, soft finishes, and efficient lighting.

Key design features:

  1. Stacked pull-out drawers in base cabinets for utensils, cookware, and spices.
  2. Full-extension runners with soft-close systems for smooth operation.
  3. White matte cabinetry paired with light quartz countertops for a bright, open look.
  4. Integrated LED lighting to highlight drawer interiors and workspace zones.
  5. Ergonomic design — drawers installed at comfortable heights to reduce bending.

Materials & Color Coordination

Cabinetry

  • Custom millwork with a matte white lacquer finish.
  • Multi-drawer base units (3-tier and 4-tier configurations).
  • Handleless upper cabinets for a seamless appearance.
  • Soft-close hardware and reinforced drawer bases for durability.

Countertops & Backsplash

  • White quartz countertop with subtle gray marbling for visual depth.
  • Full-height backsplash in matching quartz for a unified design.

Flooring

  • SPC waterproof planks in “Natural Birch,” providing warmth to contrast the white cabinetry.

Lighting

  • 3000 K warm LED downlights across the ceiling.
  • Under-cabinet lighting strips for shadow-free preparation zones.
  • Optional motion-sensor lighting inside drawers for convenience.

Renovation Process

Week 1 — Planning & Demolition

  • Detailed measurement and cabinet layout finalized.
  • Old cabinetry and tiles removed, wall framing repaired.
  • Subfloor checked and leveled before flooring installation.

Week 2 — Cabinetry Installation & Electrical Work

  • Electrical circuits upgraded for new lighting zones.
  • Base cabinets installed first to define drawer height alignment.
  • Drawer runners and soft-close systems tested for smooth operation.

Week 3 — Countertops, Painting & Finishes

  • Quartz counters installed and seams sealed.
  • Backsplash bonded with continuous quartz slab.
  • Painted walls in Benjamin Moore Simply White for balance and brightness.
  • Final inspection and handover after client walkthrough.

4. Organized Drawer Systems

Attention Points & Expert Tips

  1. Plan drawer heights carefully. Mix shallow drawers (cutlery) and deep drawers (pots/pans) for optimal space use.
  2. Choose durable runners. Full-extension, soft-close slides prevent wear and ensure quiet operation.
  3. Keep white tones consistent. Test samples under lighting before selecting final paint and quartz shades.
  4. Prioritize lighting. Warm LEDs (3000 K) keep white spaces from feeling sterile.
  5. Maintain clearance. Leave at least 1″ gap behind drawers for electrical and plumbing access.
