Home Tour: De Gaspé Project, a Light-Filled Kitchen in the Heart of Little Italy

In this family home located in the heart of Montreal’s Little Italy, the kitchen naturally takes center stage. Bathed in natural light from the large windows, it offers a warm, functional, and timeless space designed to be part of everyday family life.

The choice of materials plays a key role in creating this soft and inviting atmosphere. For the cabinetry fronts, the homeowners chose our Slim design in White Oak, Rift Cut with a Satin finish. The natural grain of the wood brings warmth and character to the space, while the clean lines of the Slim design give it a contemporary, minimalist feel. The result is a kitchen that embraces simplicity while allowing the beauty of the materials to shine.

The white oak is paired with a Céragrès countertop and backsplash, whose delicate veining creates an elegant contrast against the warmth of the wood. Together, the natural tones and textures create a balanced, bright, and welcoming aesthetic.

Above the island, Luminaire Authentik fixtures complete the space with their sculptural silhouettes, while highlighting the importance of this gathering area. The island becomes a true hub of the home: a place to cook, gather, and share everyday moments.

Built around natural materials, clean lines, and an abundance of light, this kitchen is a beautiful example of how Bofronts fronts can transform an IKEA kitchen into a warm, personalized, and distinctly contemporary space.
