Yorkville Apartment Renovation

This Yorkville Manhattan renovation focused on transforming an outdated kitchen into a refined, contemporary space that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the apartment. The original kitchen featured glossy white cabinetry and tiled flooring that visually separated it from the living areas. Our objective was to modernize the space with elevated materials, introduce warmth through natural wood tones, and create continuity by extending new hardwood flooring throughout.

At the core of the kitchen redesign is Calacatta Versailles Quartz from MSI, used for both the countertops and full-height backsplash. The soft veining adds subtle movement while maintaining a bright, timeless aesthetic. Extending the quartz vertically creates a clean, uninterrupted surface that enhances both durability and visual cohesion.

The cabinetry was reimagined in a balanced two-tone composition. Carbone Matte upper cabinets and molding provide a sleek, contemporary contrast, while Como Ash natural wood lower cabinets introduce warmth and organic texture. This interplay between matte gray and natural wood grounds the galley layout and prevents the space from feeling overly stark. Elongated 6–12 inch satin nickel cabinet pulls reinforce the kitchen’s clean lines and coordinate with the stainless steel appliances and faucet. Integrated under-cabinet lighting highlights the quartz backsplash, and a large flush ceiling fixture adds ambient warmth to soften the modern finishes.

To complete the transformation, we removed the existing tile flooring and installed white oak wood flooring from Mirage, extending it through the kitchen and into the apartment. This continuous flooring enhances flow, eliminates visual breaks, and ties the entire interior together.

The result is a cohesive, modern kitchen defined by elevated materials, balanced contrasts, and seamless integration with the home’s newly installed hardwood flooring.
