Renovating the First Floor, Master Suite, Plus a Full Bathroom in Fort Washington

Project Overview

Dated, dark, and awkwardly broken up, the first floor simply wasn’t functional if there were more than five people present because guests would get caught in bottlenecks and cramped spaces. The kitchen lacked enough storage and room for meal prep. The master bath was also small and cluttered. The hall bath was also in need of an update.

DESIGN Process

In the kitchen, we positioned the sink within the island directly across from the range, making meal prep easy. We removed a section of the wall to enhance the view to the outdoors. The homeowners selected a striking shade of blue for the island cabinetry, which pops against the sleek white wall cabinets. We updated the laundry room with the same luxury vinyl flooring as the kitchen, as well as new cabinetry for storage, a stackable washer and dryer, and a counter ideal for folding clothes. The fireplace surround in the family room features a dramatic vertical tile design.
