For this colorful kitchen remodel in Summit, NJ, the homeowners wanted to bring energy, function, and personality into a first floor that previously felt compartmentalized and outdated. Manta Design-Build reimagined the entire layout—eliminating unnecessary walls and repurposing space to better suit the family’s lifestyle and flow.

We reduced the oversized pantry, removed two coat closets, and closed off the opening to the formal dining room to create room for a spacious island with seating and a custom-designed drop zone—perfect for daily organization. The former dining room was transformed into a bright, functional home office, complete with built-in shelving and a beautifully crafted ash block desktop.

This renovation highlights Manta’s ability to rethink traditional layouts and deliver highly personalized, creative solutions—helping Summit homeowners get more beauty, functionality, and character out of every square foot.
