Before & After: Transforming a Dated Oak Kitchen With Sollera Fine Cabinetry

This kitchen began as a classic 1980s space filled with heavy oak cabinets, busy tile countertops, and limited workspace. While the layout functioned well for everyday cooking, the dark finishes and aging materials made the room feel closed in and outdated. The homeowners wanted a brighter, more functional kitchen with clean lines, better storage, and a timeless style that would elevate the entire main floor.

After: A Bright, Modern Refresh With Sollera Fine Cabinetry

Using Sollera Fine Cabinetry, we completely reimagined the space—bringing in fresh, modern design while maintaining the home’s warm and welcoming character.

  • Sollera Cloud White perimeter cabinetry replaced the original dark oak, instantly lightening the room and creating a clean, airy backdrop.

  • The cabinetry upgrade introduced soft-close doors and drawers, improved organization, and a more efficient workflow around the range and prep zones.

  • Adding Whale Gray island cabinetry (if applicable) or a contrasting accent finish brings depth and a designer feel to the space.

  • Updated stainless steel appliances and a contemporary hood lend a sleek, polished appearance.

  • New countertops and backsplash complete the transformation, giving the kitchen a cohesive, elevated aesthetic.

  • Thoughtful details—such as modern hardware, improved lighting, and simplified lines—ensure the space feels both stylish and highly functional.

What was once a tired, closed-off kitchen is now a bright, contemporary space featuring the quality, durability, and customizable beauty of Sollera Fine Cabinetry. This remodel showcases how the right cabinetry can completely redefine a home’s heart.
