A Masterclass in Transitional Kitchen Design: Beauty, Function & Luxury in One Sarasota Home

Layered Illumination: This space features ambient ceiling lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and a dramatic pendant fixture over the island. The layered lighting scheme enhances both function and mood.

3D Wave Tile Backsplash: Adds a dynamic, tactile element that contrasts beautifully with the flat surfaces. This aligns with the transitional aesthetic favored in the Sarasota market.

Mixed Surface Finishes: The glossy black vent hood and matte cabinetry finishes add depth, while the wood grain cabinetry and natural stone countertops introduce organic texture.

Smart Layout: Appliances are stacked vertically for ergonomic access, and the island serves both prep and dining functions, maximizing space efficiency.

Integrated Storage: Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, including a hidden wine fridge and pantry, ensures ample storage without visual clutter.

Dual-Surface Island: The island’s mix of backlit stone and dark wood is not only striking, but it also differentiates task zones—ideal for both casual dining and meal prep.

Contrasting Tones: The dark wood cabinetry pairs elegantly with light countertops and floors, creating a balanced palette that feels modern yet warm.

When it comes to reimagining a kitchen, few transformations exemplify luxury, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design like this stunning Sarasota remodel by Cabex Construction and Cabinets Extraordinaire. This space isn’t just a kitchen—it’s a work of art that seamlessly blends style and function, created for homeowners who value quality and sophistication above all.

Lighting That Sets the Mood

Lighting is the unsung hero of great kitchen design. This remodel uses a layered lighting approach, integrating sleek pendant fixtures, under-cabinet illumination, and recessed ceiling lights to elevate both ambiance and utility. Subtle LED accents highlight the dramatic 3D wave-textured backsplash, creating depth and inviting warmth—perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home.

A Symphony of Textures

True to the transitional aesthetic that defines Sarasota’s design scene, this kitchen pairs modern lines with warm organic textures. Rich, dark wood cabinetry adds grounded elegance, while the wave-textured tile introduces movement and tactile appeal. It’s a space where high-end materials meet artistic nuance.

Functionality Meets Elegance

At Cabex, we believe that luxury should always serve a purpose. Every inch of this kitchen is intentionally designed:

• Vertically stacked appliances provide ergonomic ease.
• An expansive island features a dual-surface countertop—a combination of backlit natural stone and sleek dark wood—delineating prep and dining zones.
• Integrated wine refrigeration, hidden pantry storage, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets ensure the space is as efficient as it is beautiful.

 

Material Sophistication

This kitchen is a masterclass in material variance. Contrasting tones—light oak floors, white base cabinets, and espresso-toned uppers—balance one another perfectly. Top-tier finishes, brushed metal hardware, and natural stone surfaces speak to Cabex’s unwavering commitment to quality.

Why This Kitchen Reflects the Cabex Difference

Unlike competitors who rely on cookie-cutter solutions and allowances, Cabex Construction offers full-service design-build solutions with in-house cabinetry. This allows for complete creative control, superior craftsmanship, and seamless project management. It’s a model that delivers not just luxury—but peace of mind.

We don’t just build kitchens. We create spaces that tell your story—that reflect who you are and what you value. And in Sarasota, Longboat Key, Venice, and beyond, discerning homeowners are discovering the transformative impact of that difference.
