5 Westchester Kitchens We Love

1. The Scarsdale Inset Classic

This Scarsdale Colonial had a kitchen that hadn't been touched since the mid-1990s. The layout was compartmentalized, the cabinets were builder-grade, and the entire room felt disconnected from the rest of the home. We removed a load-bearing wall, opened the kitchen to the family room, and installed full-overlay inset cabinetry in a warm white with a navy blue island. The result was a kitchen that looked like it had always belonged in that Colonial home — but performed like a modern chef's workspace.

2. The Chappaqua Linen & Bourbon Kitchen

Just down the road from our showroom in Chappaqua, this project set out to solve a common problem: a stunning house with a kitchen that didn't match the level of finish everywhere else. We used a two-tone palette — warm linen-white perimeter cabinets paired with a bourbon-stained island — to create warmth and visual interest. Cambria quartz in a soft marble pattern tied the two tones together. The homeowners describe it as the room they now spend 80% of their time in.

3. The Bedford Estate Kitchen

Scale matters differently when you're designing for an estate. This Bedford project required a dual-island layout with a separate butler's pantry to accommodate the homeowners' entertaining lifestyle. We specified walnut cabinetry and Taj Mahal quartzite surfaces — materials that age beautifully and reward closer inspection. A commercial-grade range flanked by custom appliance garages kept the lines clean while preserving serious cooking function.

4. The White Plains Urban Kitchen

Not all Westchester kitchens are in sprawling Colonials. This White Plains project was in a newer townhome, and the challenge was making a relatively modest footprint feel luxurious. We chose slab-front cabinetry with integrated pulls, a quartz waterfall island, and floor-to-ceiling upper cabinetry to maximize storage without adding visual bulk. The matte black fixtures throughout added a polished edge that elevated the whole space.

5. The Rye Kitchen with a View

This Rye renovation was driven by one goal: connect the kitchen to the back garden. We repositioned the sink to face the yard, added a large picture window above it, and installed glazed upper cabinets to keep the sightlines light and open. The perimeter cabinetry in sage green was a bold choice that the homeowners were nervous about — and absolutely love today. Sometimes the most satisfying projects are the ones where a client trusts a decision that's slightly outside their comfort zone.
