Mid-Century Modern Kitchen Remodeling

Walnut-toned cabinets, slim profiles, bold color accents and organic shapes that honor the mid-century homes of Middle Tennessee.

Nashville has no shortage of mid-century ranches and split-levels, and many of their owners want a kitchen that honors the era rather than erasing it. Mid-century modern is optimistic and graceful: low horizontal lines, warm wood, clean planes and the occasional pop of color from a tile or an appliance. It is the style of homes designed for living and entertaining, which makes it a natural fit for how people cook today.

The look relies on walnut or teak-toned slab doors, slim horizontal pulls or integral finger grips, simple laminate or quartz counters, a geometric or glossy tile backsplash and warm lighting such as a globe pendant or sputnik fixture. Colors range from muted earth tones to teal, mustard and tangerine. Flooring is often wood or terrazzo-look tile. Done with restraint, it is both historic and fresh.
