Contemporary Wauwatosa Kitchen

Striking Hexagon Tiled Wall & Open Shelving

A young couple, who live in Wauwatosa’s Quarry Heights neighborhood, contacted us to remodel their 1953 kitchen. They disliked that their galley kitchen was closed off to the rest of the home. They wanted to update the oak cabinets and laminate counters to a bright white contemporary space. Kowalske Kitchen & Bath was hired as the remodeling contractor to transform this Wauwatosa kitchen.

Open Concept

We widened the doorway from the kitchen into the dining room for better entertaining and openness. We moved the refrigerator to the back wall to make way for more cabinetry, storage and counter space.

Hexagon Tile Backsplash

This cramped kitchen is now bright with white shaker cabinetry and quartz counters. The highlight of this Wauwatosa kitchen remodel is the gray-blue hexagon tiled wall. Adding a tiled accent wall is a popular kitchen trend and a great way to add color and texture in a kitchen. The floating wood shelves were custom made by MKE Cabinetry. Satin bronze finishes (hardware, lighting and faucet) complete the look.
