Kitchen

Compact Kitchen with Textured Backsplash

The Challenge: Optimizing a Compact Whitby Kitchen

This small kitchen renovation in Whitby was designed for a homeowner who wanted a space where prep, cooking, and everyday movement felt effortless. With everything already within arm’s reach, the goal wasn’t to expand the footprint—it was to maximize efficiency, brighten the room, and create a layout that felt open rather than confined. The existing ceiling beam and crown moulding added complexity, but instead of removing them, we used smart cabinetry design to make these features feel intentional.

Design Strategy for an Airy, All-White Space

To keep this Whitby kitchen feeling bright and airy, we chose an all-white palette that reflects natural light and visually expands the room. A textured backsplash adds depth and movement while still blending seamlessly with the rest of the finishes. This detail keeps the kitchen from feeling flat without overwhelming the small footprint.

Flow between kitchen and dining areas was equally important. We extended cabinetry into the dining room to create continuity between the two spaces—an elegant way to add storage and function while making the home feel more cohesive.
Learn more about our approach to cabinetry on our Renovation Process page.

Smart Layout Solutions for a Small Kitchen

Working around the existing beam and crown moulding meant adjusting cabinetry elevations without sacrificing symmetry. By creating intentional space above the fridge, we maintained balance across the entire wall while preserving functionality. These subtle design decisions help small kitchens feel polished rather than pieced together.

If you’re considering updating your own space, explore our blog on “The Surprising Design Flexibility of Prefab Kitchens” to see how we transform layouts of all sizes.

The Transformation

The finished space is streamlined, efficient, and surprisingly spacious for its footprint. Clean lines, cohesive finishes, and thoughtful storage give this kitchen the flexibility to handle everyday cooking—or hosting a crowd. It’s proof that a small kitchen, when designed well, can feel both effortless and inviting.

Kitchen

Kitchen with Rose-Gold Chandelie

Transforming this Pickering kitchen renovation meant finding the perfect balance between classic style and modern function. The homeowners wanted a timeless look with off-white cabinetry and significantly more storage, while also creating a layout that supported effortless entertaining. This project showcases how thoughtful design choices and strategic layout changes can redefine how a family uses its space in Pickering.

The Challenge

The original kitchen felt disconnected and lacked the storage and flow needed for large gatherings. Decorative columns broke up the sightlines between the kitchen and living area, and the dining table consumed valuable space. To meet the client’s needs, we needed to open the layout, maximize storage, and create an inviting, entertainment-ready environment. This project also required extending the kitchen cabinetry all the way to the sliding door to make the most of the available footprint.

Our Approach to This Pickering Kitchen Renovation

We started by establishing a classic foundation using off-white cabinets and large-format floor tiles, creating a bright, clean backdrop. To introduce depth and contrast, we selected a dark grey island—instantly grounding the space and becoming a focal point. The island was extended to incorporate comfortable seating, replacing the previous dining table and improving traffic flow. Removing the decorative columns opened the kitchen to the living room, creating a seamless, spacious feel throughout the main floor.

As with many of our custom kitchen remodels, we focused heavily on usability. Added storage solutions, improved lighting, and a more intuitive layout made everyday living easier for the homeowners.

The Transformation

The finishing touch—and the new statement piece—was a rose-gold chandelier, adding warmth and elegance while beautifully illuminating the expanded island. The result is a well-balanced interior that blends sophistication and practicality, perfect for hosting large gatherings. This Pickering project reflects our design philosophy: timeless materials, functional layouts, and thoughtful details that elevate the home.

Bathroom

Honey & Grey Coloured Ensuite

This principal bathroom remodel in Brooklin highlights a thoughtful balance of function and style, centered around a sleek grey double sink vanity and coordinating custom makeup table. Designed as a modern retreat, this Brooklin bathroom renovation incorporates clean lines, elevated finishes, and smart use of space to create a room that feels both polished and personal. With grey glass tiles and bold black fixtures, the palette delivers just the right amount of contrast while maintaining a soft, relaxing tone. As with all FBD projects, our in-house team guided the homeowner from design concept to completion with seamless communication and detailed craftsmanship.

Design Strategy for This Brooklin Bathroom Renovation

The homeowners wanted a bathroom that felt calm and organized without sacrificing character. Our design plan introduced a grey double vanity for expanded counterspace, dedicated storage, and improved morning flow. The custom-built makeup table ties into the vanity millwork, creating a cohesive built-in look. Grey glass tile was selected to add texture and depth, and matte black fixtures finish the space with a modern edge. This approach allowed us to elevate the room while keeping it inviting and easy to maintain.

Our Approach

Every detail was tailored to the homeowners’ routine. We optimized storage, lighting, and circulation to create a bathroom that not only looks beautiful but works effortlessly day to day. The FBD process includes detailed planning, 3D visualizations, and close collaboration with our design team, ensuring the final result matches the homeowner’s aesthetic and functional goals. Learn more about our methods in our renovation process.

The Transformation

The finished room feels brighter, more open, and far more functional than before. The contrast between the grey tones and black fixtures adds modern sophistication, while the custom makeup table introduces a personalized touch. This principal bathroom now offers a retreat-like atmosphere with durable materials built to last.

Contemporary Custom Vanity Bathroom Renovation in Whitby

Transforming a bathroom into a relaxing and stylish retreat is something many homeowners in Whitby look for, especially when standard vanity options just don’t fit their needs. For this project, our client wanted a contemporary space with a custom touch, so the design centered around a fully custom white oak vanity complemented by a bold accent wall. This Whitby bathroom renovation brings together modern style, warm textures, and plenty of space to unwind, showcasing what a personalized approach can achieve.

Design Strategy for a Custom Contemporary Look

Since off the shelf options weren’t meeting the client’s expectations, we created a custom vanity that fit the exact size, style, and storage layout they wanted. To highlight the natural tones of the white oak, we introduced a feature wall with a subtle blue undertone behind the vanity. This combination adds depth and color without overwhelming the room. Careful attention to proportion and placement ensured that the vanity, lighting, and accent wall worked together as a focal point.

For homeowners exploring custom cabinetry, our team often recommends reviewing our Portfolio to better understand how tailored solutions elevate both function and style.

A Relaxing and Spacious Bathroom Layout

The overall layout of this Whitby bathroom renovation focuses on comfort and flow. A generously sized shower enclosure offers a bright, open feel, while the freestanding bathtub adds a spa like element to the space. Together, these features create a calming environment perfect for enjoying a quiet moment at the end of the day. If you’re considering layout upgrades, take a look at our past projects to explore more options.

Material Choices That Elevate the Space

Natural wood textures, soft wall colors, and clean lines work together to anchor the contemporary design. The white oak vanity brings warmth, while the blue accent wall introduces personality. Premium fixtures and polished finishes complete the look, ensuring durability and long term appeal.

Why Whitby Homeowners Choose Custom Solutions

Custom vanities are especially popular in Whitby because they allow homeowners to maximize storage, achieve precise sizing, and create a look that reflects their personal style. With over 35 years of experience, our in house team understands how to balance function and design, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully executed.

Black and White Bathroom Renovation in Pickering

A black and white bathroom is one of the most timeless design choices you can make, and this Pickering renovation is the perfect example of how to bring sophistication and personality into a classic palette. For this project, our goal was to create contrast, pattern, and visual depth so the space felt elevated rather than flat. This black and white bathroom in Pickering showcases how thoughtful material choices and expert installation can transform a simple concept into a striking finished space.

Design Strategy

Working with a monochromatic palette means every texture and shape matters. We started by introducing bold hex tiles on the bathroom floor, a feature that immediately creates interest without overwhelming the space. In the shower, crisp white subway tiles paired with dark grout emphasize the classic pattern while adding a dramatic edge. This approach helps the entire room feel cohesive and intentional. For clients exploring similar upgrades, our team can walk you through these material pairings during your consultation.

The Challenge

Black and white bathrooms require balance. Too much white can make the room feel sterile, while too much black can weigh it down. In this Pickering project, the challenge was creating the right mix of contrast and warmth. Adding a matte black bathtub became the perfect solution – it serves as a bold focal point that gives the room depth and elegance. This feature also anchors the design and plays beautifully against the surrounding tiles. If you’re interested in dramatic fixtures like this, explore our curated collection of renovation ideas.

The Transformation

The end result is a clean, modern, and sophisticated bathroom that blends timeless style with contemporary details. The tilework enhances the room’s architecture, while the bold tub and high-contrast grout lines add personality. Thoughtful pattern placement brings energy to the space without disrupting the calm feel that clients want from a bathroom. Our Pickering clients now have a stunning retreat that feels both current and classic.

Elegant Calacatta Tile Bathroom Renovation in Pickering

A Bright and Timeless Pickering Bathroom Renovation

This Pickering bathroom renovation blends clean design, practical upgrades, and thoughtful layout choices to create a space that feels both luxurious and livable. From the moment you step inside, the soft veining of the calacatta tile sets the tone. Using the primary keyword naturally, this bathroom renovation showcases how simple materials can create a truly elevated look when paired with smart design decisions.

Design Strategy: Clean Lines and Purposeful Accents

For this project, our goal was to keep the design timeless while still incorporating details that make the space personal. The floor and shower walls feature simple calacatta tiles, offering a bright and elegant foundation. To add dimension, we introduced a decorative tile accent frame in the shower, finished neatly with a marble pencil. This subtle detail adds character without overwhelming the minimalist aesthetic.

The free-standing bathtub became an instant focal point. Instead of leaving it as a stand-alone feature, we added a custom shelf behind it. This small but thoughtful addition gives the homeowner practical space for candles, soaps, or small decor items.

To maintain comfort and usability, the bathtub faucet was positioned in an accessible location, allowing easy reach without compromising the visual balance of the room.

Smart Layout Choices for Daily Convenience

Every design decision in this bathroom renovation was made with functionality in mind. The shelf behind the tub improves storage without intruding on floor space. The shower accent frame creates visual interest while keeping maintenance simple. Each element supports a layout that works for everyday use.

For homeowners exploring options for their own renovation, this Pickering project reflects how strategic planning can transform even a straightforward space. Before starting your design, consider browsing for inspiration in our portfolio.

The Results: A Spa Like Escape at Home

A Refined Pickering Bathroom Renovation With Custom Details

This Pickering bathroom renovation focused on creating a timeless and elegant ensuite with a completely custom vanity at the center of the design. The goal was to blend traditional character with modern function, while ensuring the space felt cohesive with the home’s existing style.

As with all of our work, our team handled the full renovation in-house, ensuring quality and consistency throughout. This approach allows us to customize every element and deliver the level of detail homeowners expect from Floor and Bath Design.

The Design Strategy

The custom vanity became the anchor of the entire ensuite. We designed a traditional yet fresh look by incorporating wall paneling that matches the door style seen throughout the home. This creates visual continuity and adds a level of sophistication you don’t often see in standard vanity builds found in many Pickering homes.

To ensure the vanity was beautiful and practical, we included:

A pullout on each side for easy-access storage
A dedicated laundry pullout in the center
Retro-style fixtures and hardware that add personality without overwhelming the space

Material Selection and Finishing Touches

Every surface in this ensuite was chosen to enhance both visual flow and ease of maintenance. The quartz bathtub deck flows seamlessly into the shower enclosure, creating a clean, polished look that ties the two spaces together. The marble pencil border adds a delicate framing detail along the shower and bathtub deck tiles, giving the space a refined finish without feeling overly ornate.

This balanced combination of quartz, marble, and warm traditional details creates an atmosphere that feels elevated yet comfortable – an ideal fit for a Pickering home seeking long-lasting style.

The Final Transformation

The completed renovation offers the homeowner a space that feels both serene and functional. The storage upgrades make daily routines easier, while the custom vanity and cohesive paneling elevate the room aesthetically. The soft retro touches and classic material pairings give the ensuite a timeless charm that will age gracefully for years to come.

Shaker cabinets provide the clean-lined character transitional design is known for, while the stainless steel appliances break up the white palette with subtle contrast.
