Highland Avenue, Somerville

This Somerville, MA kitchen remodel features natural walnut frameless cabinetry, honed quartz countertops, deep green accents, restored wood floors, and industrial-inspired details that create a warm and inviting urban kitchen.

Project Overview: This kitchen remodel in Somerville, Massachusetts demonstrates how thoughtful design can maximize both style and functionality within a compact urban condo. CDI Kitchens transformed this second-floor space into a warm, inviting kitchen that blends industrial influences with natural materials and contemporary craftsmanship.

The design centers around Eclipse frameless cabinetry in a rich natural walnut finish, bringing warmth, texture, and a distinctly modern feel to the space. A Caesarstone honed quartz countertop complements the cabinetry's natural character, while deep green backsplash tile and coordinating wall colors introduce earthy tones that create depth and visual interest throughout the room.

Industrial-inspired elements, including a stainless steel island topped with butcher block and a wall-mounted hanging pot rack, add character and functionality while reflecting the homeowners' personal style. These details are balanced by the warmth of restored original wood floors and a thoughtful mix of wood species and finishes that create a layered, collected aesthetic rather than a one-note design.

Natural light plays a critical role in the space, working alongside recessed lighting to keep the kitchen bright and welcoming. By intentionally leaving open space between the cabinetry and the tall ceilings, the design enhances the room's vertical scale and creates a greater sense of openness. The result is a kitchen that feels significantly larger than its footprint while maintaining the warmth and comfort expected in a historic Somerville home.

This Somerville kitchen renovation showcases how frameless cabinetry, natural materials, and thoughtful space planning can transform a compact condo kitchen into a functional, stylish space tailored to modern urban living.
