Sage Green and Brass Galley Kitchen in Los Angeles

What the Finished Kitchen Shows

This Los Angeles galley kitchen pairs sage green lower cabinets with white Shaker uppers and brass knobs and pulls. A glossy white subway backsplash with soft gray grout runs above a quartz-look counter that ends in a rounded breakfast ledge. One side holds a professional-style gas range and a built-in wine fridge, and the other a large undermount sink with a brass pull-down faucet under a window. Terracotta hexagon tile covers the floor and leads through an arched opening to a wall of tall white pantry cabinets.

Why Sage Green and Terracotta Work Together

Sage green and terracotta are both earthy colors, so they sit together naturally. Putting the green on the lower cabinets keeps the color close to the warm floor, while white uppers keep the narrow room bright. Brass pulls and the brass faucet tie the warm tones together. The arched opening adds a soft curve to a room full of straight lines, and the rounded counter end does the same at the breakfast ledge. We bring this kind of color planning to every kitchen remodel.

How We Run Your Kitchen Remodel

A kitchen remodel in Los Angeles with two cabinet colors works best when the plan is set before anything is ordered. We start with a free consultation to learn how you cook, where you want to sit, and what budget you are working with. Then we handle design, permits, and the build: cabinets, tile, plumbing, electrical, and finishes. A built-in wine fridge needs its own opening and power, so we size the cabinet run around it from the start.

Kitchen Remodel in Los Angeles: Common Questions

What does a kitchen remodel like this cost in Los Angeles?

It depends on the size of the room, the cabinets, the appliances, and the finishes you pick. Our kitchen remodel cost guide breaks down typical ranges across LA.

Can I use two cabinet colors in a small kitchen?

Yes. A color on the lowers and white on the uppers is a common way to add character without making a narrow room feel darker.

Is a built-in wine fridge worth adding?

If you keep drinks on hand, it frees space in the main refrigerator. It needs a dedicated opening and outlet, so it is easiest to plan during a remodel.

Why round the end of a counter?

A rounded end is softer on hips and elbows in a tight walkway, and it makes a small breakfast ledge feel more open.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Los Angeles?

Usually yes, if plumbing, gas, electrical, or walls change. We prepare the drawings and take care of the submittals and inspections.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most take several weeks after demo, plus design and permit time. Cabinet and appliance lead times can stretch the schedule, so we order early and give you realistic dates.

Should I remodel my kitchen or move?

If you like your neighborhood and the house mostly works for you, a remodel is often the better value. Our article on remodeling vs. buying new in Los Angeles compares the two.
