From removing walls to create an open floor plan to extending cabinets and providing island seating, they\u2019ve been there and done that. Here are some of Morris Black\u2019s favorite projects.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Blanco Contemporary Kitchen Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The goal of this design was to expand a small kitchen into the dining room, which was underutilized before the renovation. By removing the separating wall and combining both spaces, the homeowners were able to expand their kitchen with added cabinetry and still offer seating for four at the island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3008 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Blanco-Contemporary-Kitchen-Design.webp\" alt=\"Expand your kitchen into your dining room by removing excess walls.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Blanco-Contemporary-Kitchen-Design.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Blanco-Contemporary-Kitchen-Design-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Blanco-Contemporary-Kitchen-Design-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Blanco-Contemporary-Kitchen-Design-750x499.webp 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/strong><em>Design by Dan Lenner, CMKBD<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>White Kitchen with Contrasting Island Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For this design, the homeowners decided to create an open-concept space by opening up the kitchen to the dining room with the removal of the separating wall. Removing the wall immediately made the space feel larger and the added line of sight allowed the dining room cabinets to play off of the dark kitchen island, tying both spaces together.<\/p>\n<p>This project is a great example of how you can incorporate both island seating and a designated dining area in an open concept design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3009 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/White-Kitchens-with-Contrasting-Island-Design.webp\" alt=\"Create an open concept space by bringing your kitchen and dining room together.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/White-Kitchens-with-Contrasting-Island-Design.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/White-Kitchens-with-Contrasting-Island-Design-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.morrisblack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/White-Kitchens-with-Contrasting-Island-Design-768x576.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/strong><em>Design by Dan Lenner, CMKBD<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dark Kitchen Island with White Cabinets Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This final design turned a dysfunctional layout into a fully functional, beautiful kitchen and dining space.
