Designer – Erika Frizol
Nestled in Charleston, this modern coastal kitchen represents a stunning example of custom craftsmanship meeting contemporary design. Designer Erika Frizol created a sophisticated space featuring frameless cabinetry with skinny shaker oak doors in a beautifully painted finish. The kitchen showcases seamless integration of paneled appliances that disappear into the cabinetry, while elegant brass mesh details add warmth and visual interest. Thoughtful interior lighting enhance both functionality and ambiance, while the cabinetry’s continuous flow from the range wall into the pantry creates an uninterrupted visual experience that maximizes the modern coastal aesthetic.
The project presented unique design challenges that required creative problem-solving and precise execution. The team successfully fit all necessary appliances into a compact pantry space without compromising functionality or flow. Perhaps most impressive is the seamless wrap-around cabinetry paneling that expertly transitions from the edge of the wall into the pantry area, creating architectural continuity that feels both intentional and effortless. This new construction project demonstrates how thoughtful custom cabinetry can transform spatial limitations into design opportunities, resulting in a kitchen that feels both spacious and intimate while maintaining the clean lines characteristic of modern coastal style.
