Two-Tone Open Concept Kitchen Remodel in Arlington Highlands

This Arlington Heights home received a full kitchen transformation designed to open up the space and modernize its everyday flow. Cream upper cabinets contrast beautifully with taupe base cabinets and a matching island, giving the kitchen depth and character without feeling busy. A long quartz island with a waterfall edge and calacatta-style veining serves as the heart of the room, offering generous seating for six with classic cross-back barstools. Behind the range and sink, a marble subway tile backsplash climbs the wall for a timeless, elegant finish, while under-cabinet lighting highlights the stonework below. Wide-plank wood-look flooring ties the kitchen into the adjoining living space, and dual black globe pendants add a modern touch overhead. The result is a kitchen that’s as practical for daily cooking as it is welcoming for guests.
