Before: When a couple with four young children purchased this home in Nevada, they knew the kitchen would need a major update to better support busy family life. Although the space had a functional work triangle and large island, it lacked personality, offered inefficient storage and felt disconnected from the rest of the home because of a partial wall on the right.

The homeowners wanted a brighter, more open kitchen with improved flow and family-friendly function, so they hired designer Christy Mancera of Cera Construction. Using Houzz Pro software, Mancera reworked the floor plan to create a more connected and efficient gathering space tailored to the family’s lifestyle.
