Expert Crafted Morningside Heights Renovation | A stunning transformation

This Morningside Heights renovation showcases a full transformation of a New York City apartment, thoughtfully designed to elevate both functionality and aesthetics. The comprehensive renovation includes a stunning bathroom makeover and a spacious, highly functional kitchen renovation—each space meticulously crafted with premium finishes and timeless materials. The bathroom underwent a complete gut renovation, replacing the outdated tub with a sleek and modern stand-up shower. This key aspect of the renovation significantly improved usability while adding a more contemporary touch to the home. A bold blue accent tile wall in the shower area introduces a vibrant pop of color, perfectly complemented by classic white subway field tile along the main bathroom walls. The contrast is elegant yet clean, making the bathroom feel both expansive and inviting. One of the most striking features of this bathroom renovation is the beautiful Calacatta gold hexagon floor tile. This high-end tile adds visual texture and a luxurious tone, bringing the entire space together. The renovation also included the installation of heated flooring, a premium upgrade that not only enhances comfort but also reinforces the feeling of luxury throughout the bathroom. The careful balance of materials and textures in this renovation creates a refined spa-like environment that adds value to the home and elevates everyday living. Moving into the heart of the home, the kitchen remodel is equally impressive. Designed as a large eat-in kitchen, this space reflects both functionality and style. As part of the overall renovation, white shaker cabinets were installed to create a timeless, clean-lined look. A custom solid oak wood shelf adds a natural element, breaking up the cabinetry and offering a warm, organic contrast to the surrounding materials. The remodel also includes a durable quartz countertop, which offers both beauty and practicality. The countertop provides ample workspace and coordinates effortlessly with the custom herringbone tile backsplash, which serves as a focal point behind the range. The backsplash pattern introduces subtle texture while maintaining the kitchen’s light and airy aesthetic. This kitchen renovation also features brass hardware and fixtures, which add a layer of sophistication and visual warmth to the space. A standout detail in this Morningside Heights kitchen project is the integrated under-cabinet LED lighting. This not only enhances the functionality of the kitchen by providing task lighting but also highlights the texture and tones of the backsplash and counters. It’s the kind of finishing touch that elevates the entire project to the next level. Overall, this Morningside Heights renovation represents a thoughtful and cohesive design approach, with each space tailored to meet the modern needs of city living. From the complete bathroom renovation with heated floors and elegant tilework to the expertly executed kitchen renovation with custom lighting and cabinetry, every element was planned with purpose. Whether you're considering a full-home remodel or looking to upgrade key areas like your kitchen or bathroom, this Morningside Heights renovation offers exceptional inspiration. It’s a true example of how smart design choices and quality craftsmanship can turn an ordinary space into a luxurious, functional, and lasting renovation success.

Project Client Testimonial:

“Eli, Mary Kate, and the rest of the team at STAR did a great job on our renovation. We had a large project which involved completely remodeling our kitchen, and bathroom. They worked very hard to complete our job on time, and the final result looks amazing, plus the sound proofing really works well. STAR Renovations was very organized and handled a lot of complex tasks for our job, which required updating the building plumbing, and electrical wiring. They were very accommodating to our unique requests and did many extra favors around our apartment such as fixing our thermostat and installing missing trim. We were pleased with the communication between us, and it was great to get regular updates and progress photos. STAR really did great work for us and we love our new home.”
