Open-concept kitchens are meant to feel grand, yet many arrive bland and lifeless. That was the problem here. Instead of guessing one renovation path, I asked AI to reimagine the same boring builder-grade space in 40 different ways. Each before-and-after transformation turns it into a glorious dark green and white rustic kitchen, anchored by custom island seating designed for real gathering. The difference is dramatic.
In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.
