The quirkier the better, according to the homeowners.

The transformation brings the outdoors in.

In Germany, where this renter lives, it’s common for rental units to not come with a kitchen — the renter must build their own!

This is major inspiration to work with what you’ve got.

"We spent as little time as possible in the kitchen,” the homeowner says of the before.

“The cabinets were the classic orange oak color, and the walls were a dark beige color,” the homeowner describes. “It felt like a nice space, but just very dated.”

The new colors tie in the cabinets and appliances.
