In this before & after, we paired white shaker cabinets with Calacatta quartzite and smart layout tweaks to create a clean, timeless space.

Before & After: A Modern Kitchen Makeover

The “Before”: Dark and Funky

(Original kitchen with darker cabinetry and a layout that felt enclosed.)

The “After”: Bright, Clean & Calacatta Quartzite

(White shaker cabinets to the ceiling + Calacatta quartzite countertops create a timeless, airy look.)

Extending white shaker cabinets to the ceiling adds height and light. The bold veining of Calacatta quartzite becomes the focal point while offering excellent durability for daily cooking. Sleek silver pendants brighten the island, and a crisp white subway tile backsplash keeps the palette clean.

Beyond Aesthetics: Function & Layout Upgrades

This remodel wasn’t just about style. Reworking island clearance, prep zones, and traffic flow improved efficiency. If you’re planning a Calacatta quartzite kitchen, review appliance placement, landing areas, and lighting layers to streamline cooking and entertaining.
