Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation in Hoboken

Hudson St, Hoboken, New Jersey

Before & After

One downside of living in an apartment is having to accept an existing layout and design that's shared by many other tenants in the building, often leaving the homeowner feeling like the space isn’t their own without the personal touch. This is the case for our client with an apartment in a well-developed residential area in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The client wanted to completely refresh the design and move away from the ordinary, and transform the space with a classic style, high-grade materials, and luxurious details while maintaining a clean and simple look. Main areas for renovation were the kitchen and bathroom. We also did new wood floorings and fresh paint in the apartment.

The previous kitchen had a heavy, visually-cluttered look, with dark countertops that overwhelmed the space. It was the complete opposite of what our client wanted, which was a kitchen that felt light, bright, and refined. In addition, there was a gap between the upper cabinets and the ceiling, which made the space feel unfinished and visually unbalanced.

We decided on a white backsplash that’s in a herringbone pattern to add style and white marble countertops for an instant feel of luxury. No more gaps between the cabinets and the ceiling as we did classic white shaker full-height upper cabinets to address it.

The old bathroom lacked any design elements. It was mostly white and had inexpensive materials all throughout the space. We kept the white theme for a minimalist luxury aesthetic, while making changes in the materials and design. One major change was converting it from a bathtub to a shower area.

Large-format marble-look porcelain tiles for both the floors and walls, creating a cohesive and expansive look. The centerpiece is a floating marble sink. A half-glass shower door keeps the layout visually open, while brushed gold fixtures bring a layer of richness and continuity with the kitchen. The full-width backlit mirror enhances the ambient light and expands the perception of space.

With the newly renovated space far different from the apartment building’s original design, our client felt both relieved and fulfilled. Her home no longer blended in with the rest, but stood out as truly her own, shaped by her personal style and vision. What was once a generic apartment is now a space that feels genuinely her home.
