A kitchen renovation isn’t just about upgrading appliances or installing new cabinets—it’s your chance to design a space that reflects your personality, enhances your lifestyle, and stands out. At Mountaineer Kitchens & Baths, we specialize in custom kitchens that break the mold and bring your creative vision to life.

Whether you’re dreaming of bold finishes or innovative functionality, here are six standout ideas for a truly unique kitchen renovation.

1. Two-Tone Cabinetry 

Why settle for one color when you can mix and match? Two-tone cabinetry continues to trend for a reason—it adds instant visual interest and allows you to highlight different parts of the kitchen.

  • Try darker base cabinets with crisp white uppers
  • Use a statement color like navy or sage on your island for contrast
  • Mix natural wood textures with painted finishes for warmth and character

2. Statement Backsplashes

The right backsplash can turn a simple kitchen into a design-forward masterpiece. Think beyond traditional subway tile and consider:

  • Hand-painted or patterned tile
  • Full-height quartz or stone slab backsplashes
  • Hexagon or chevron layouts that create movement

Your backsplash is the perfect place to let your creativity show.

3. Custom Open Shelving

Floating shelves add an open, airy feel—and offer a chance to display personality.

  • Use reclaimed wood for a rustic touch
  • Opt for glass or metal brackets to keep things modern
  • Mix open shelving with closed cabinetry to balance style and storage

They’re not only functional but also great for showing off your favorite dishware or greenery.

4. Creative Storage Solutions

A truly unique kitchen works smarter, not just harder. Custom cabinetry can include built-in solutions like:

  • Hidden spice racks and pull-out trash bins
  • Corner drawers and deep tray dividers
  • Vertical baking sheet storage or appliance garages

We design kitchens that fit your routines—and make clutter disappear.

5. Standout Islands

Your island can be the heart of your kitchen, so make it memorable.

  • Waterfall-edge countertops for a sleek, modern look
  • Two-tiered designs for built-in seating and prep space
  • A contrasting cabinet color or bold pendant lighting above

Whether you’re cooking, entertaining, or working from home, a custom island can do it all.

6. Personal Touches that Reflect You

Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest impact.

  • Statement cabinet hardware in matte black, bronze, or brushed gold
  • Built-in pet feeding stations
  • A coffee or cocktail bar with custom lighting

Your kitchen should feel like you—and no one else.
