We partnered with This Old House on the 2021 Cottage Community Idea House to bring bright, functional Mantra cabinetry throughout the space. Mantra was a great cabinet choice for this project because of its fashion-forward design styles and budget-conscious pricing. It is easy to imagine what’s possible with a cabinetry line that is designed to meet your basic needs while keeping your dreams within reach.

Designed with flexible floorplans in mind for both empty-nesters and multi-generational families, the duplex is part of a ten-home pocket neighborhood in Norwalk, CT. The homes feature mirroring layouts with modern kitchens, large bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, open living areas with workstations, and efficient mudroom/laundry rooms.

Bright and Modern Functional Kitchen

Omni Cabinets in Snow by Mantra infuses the kitchen with a bright and airy feel. The other unit featuring Omni Cabinets in Mineral provides an earthy and sophisticated look. The MasterBrand design team worked with This Old House to maximize storage in both spaces. This work included functional upper and lower cabinetry configuration, a combination garbage/recycle pull-out and pull-out drawer storage for pots and pans. With a versatile configuration and an abundance of storage, each layout provides an opportunity for the homeowner to create their own possibilities.

Reimagined Desk Space

Extending off the kitchen and into the living space, a wall of Omni Cabinets in Snow by Mantra creates a dual-station homework/office space with a generous amount of storage.

Functional Mudroom and Laundry Room Storage

A combination laundry/mudroom is conveniently located between the garage and the main floor. A small-but-mighty upper and lower Mantra cabinet combo offers practical and discrete storage for the limited space.
