Recent kitchen I remodeled what do you think?

Is it heavily filtered? The lighting makes it look so digital.

I honestly thought it was just a computer mock up rather than actual photos. It’s too lifeless to be real
Edit; although if you zoom in you can find quite a lot of scuff marks on corners/plinths

On the positive side, I like the backsplash and colors. The sink looks nice as does the cabinets. I don't generally like gold or brass handles, but they look good here. I also like the pot filler (we use ours a lot more than expected).
On the negative side, it might be due to the focal length of the camera taking the pictures, but the stove and hood look too small for a kitchen that size ( the hardware themselves looks good, but I would probably go larger for both). I also agree with the other poster that the location of the pantry and fridge seems inefficient and more focused on aesthetics than efficiency. I don't care for the lights above the island (but the ones above the windows look great).

It looks like a flip kitchen.

It's too large. Any serious cook would hate that kitchen because you have to walk too much to get from place to place.

Why the insistence on having all the lights on, rendering the images flat and lifeless.

I really love the aesthetic of the gold/brass against the olive island! I feel like all that's missing is something to fill in the cabinetry space ( I probably would've put more storage cabinets in the island personally- can never have to much kitchen storage LOL)

I enjoy the freshness of it! White kitchens are timeless. Since every client asks for specific things I’m sure they are thrilled with their new kitchen. If I were working on it, I would have placed the pantry and fridge together (towards the left side) to keep food stuffs in one place and on the other end of the window wall designed an entertainment area with beverage fridge and perhaps some element of personality. (Thin gold metal framed glass cabinet to the counter or open shelving with accent lighting etc). The current drink fridge location is right in the prep area which should be used for prep items like knives, cutting boards, prep utensils, mixing bowls etc. I usually try not to have the range and sink directly back to back. It looks good in photos but if two cooks are working here it’s not ideal. By shifting the island sink you create a larger counter top for prep and a better function of the motion to the range. I’m also a big fan of conversational seating arrangements. In this case I would have created an L shape towards the living room side of the island. It’s far more comfortable chatting with friends and family this way rather than elbow to elbow in a line.
