CANADIAN HOME TRENDS
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
KITCHEN’S DESIGN?
ANNIE KANG We wanted to create
a multi-purpose space with an island
designed to be used as a food
prep area, dining table, work table,
breakfast nook, bar and entertaining
area with a great backyard view.
We also included an open shelf
cabinet unit to house cookbooks
and decorative elements! The use
of two simple, contrasting colors, in
a polished high-gloss finish, results
in a space that is both dramatic and
exquisite. Using the same black for
the surround moulding brings the
kitchen together.
CHT HOW DO YOU DESIGN
AN ON-TREND YET TIMELESS
KITCHEN?
AK Slab doors are a timeless trend
we have seen at Lucvaa since the
company started in 2007. With all the
advancements in technology, there
are thousands of melamine products
to choose from. The price range is
wide so it can work with nearly any
budget. You can choose from a range

of colors, sheens and textures. Your
choice of flat, high gloss to concrete,
wood or metal textures will customize
the look to suit your personal style.
CHT WHERE DID YOU SAVE AND
WHERE DID YOU SPLURGE?
AK We saved on decorative
hardware by choosing a Slab
MDF Door with touch-to-open
functionality. This gives the space
a clean, modern look. We spent
more of the budget for the cabinets’
aesthetic finishes and accessories
to optimize the organization of
the cabinetry. We used drawer
organizers, pull-out pantry units, and
pull-out spice racks. The homeowner
chose to splurge on the countertops
and the finishing touches for the
space.
CHT CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THE HOMEOWNERS?
AK The homeowner is a big pet
lover so we included a pull-out
feeding station for her pets. When
she is entertaining, the feeding station
disappears into the island.
