Project Overview
Kitchen Remodeling in Arlington, VA
Project Goal
This modern transitional kitchen remodel in Arlington, VA was designed to bring a bold, curated aesthetic to an open-concept space that desperately needed a personality. The homeowners wanted a kitchen that felt fresh and design-forward — one that balanced crisp white cabinetry with a statement color and luxurious brass accents. The priorities were a large waterfall island for entertaining, upgraded appliances, and a cohesive material palette that would feel timeless yet distinctly on-trend. Dulles Kitchen & Bath crafted a design that achieves all of this with confidence and style.
Materials Used
The kitchen features white shaker perimeter cabinets with brass bar pulls throughout, creating a clean, bright backdrop that lets the island take center stage. The navy blue beadboard island with a calacatta quartz waterfall countertop is the undeniable focal point — bold, sculptural, and beautifully finished. Globe pendant lights in brushed brass hang above the island, complemented by a matching brass kitchen faucet at the sink window. A stainless steel slide-in range with a wall-mount hood anchors the cooking zone, backed by a classic white subway tile backsplash. Glass-front upper cabinets add an open, airy quality to the upper wall, while dark hardwood floors provide rich contrast beneath the light cabinetry.
The Result
The finished kitchen is a bright, confident space where the navy beadboard island and calacatta quartz immediately set the tone — bold yet refined, modern yet timeless. The brass hardware and globe pendants weave a warm metallic thread through the entire design, preventing the white-and-navy palette from feeling cold or predictable. The open layout flows beautifully into the living space, and the large waterfall island provides the social hub the homeowners envisioned. This project is a standout example of what a well-executed kitchen renovation in Arlington, VA looks like when color, material, and proportion are handled with real design intelligence.
