A "Cramped," "Ugly" Kitchen Gets an Airy, Modern Makeover
Briefly

Anna and Colin Bruton partnered with Shaolin Low of Studio Shaolin to renovate their small, outdated kitchen in Hawaii. They identified issues like poor storage and an unattractive design. The renovation aimed to optimize space while creating a comfortable and colorful ambiance, incorporating sage green cabinets and a dusty rose backsplash. Shaolin focused on functionality by eliminating "dead spaces" and installing practical features like a pull-out trash can and a lazy Susan. The couple desired a design that felt personal yet versatile for future rentals, blending style with usability.
The design inspiration was functionality and comfort, aiming to create a usable yet homey space that could appeal to renters.
The original kitchen felt cramped and dated, but the renovation’s focus was to optimize storage and infuse pops of color.
