Kitchen Remodel: Getting the Most Out Of Your Renovation

Your kitchen remodel starts with questions. Custom cabinets or prefabricated? Making decisions in a kitchen remodel design can be a lot of work, so envisioning what you want down the road can help narrow your choices. A designer is one of the best ways to grab hold of what you have in your mind and create something that you not only like but everyone else who comes through your door. This is also the case when looking to get the most return on your investment. 

In today’s homes, the kitchen does more than just serve as a cooking area. It’s often the family gathering space and even a homework spot.  These requirements and the prevalence of open floor plans with the kitchen at the center have made design aesthetics for this space even more important. Your kitchen needs to reflect your style preferences and feel connected with the other rooms in your home.

Cabinet Organizers

Homeowners are looking for ways to keep things organized and easier to access within their cabinets. Items like pull-outs, roll-out trays, lazy susans, and pantries are heavily sought in kitchen remodel designs.

Clean & Simple Detailing

Cabinetry with less ornate trim or detail is preferred today and people are leaning towards a more modern or contemporary design aesthetic.

Rustic Wood Grains

Cabinets featuring natural and defined grains are very popular. Their depth and texture bring interest into the kitchen and provide the background canvas for design.

Cottage Style

White, ivory, and khaki tones are the hallmark of cottage style. The simplicity of the color complements other colors used in the home as well as more ornate details such as lighting or a patterned backsplash.

Light and Dark Finishes

Balancing white wall cabinets with darker toned lower cabinets or island continues to be on-trend.  This allows the kitchen to flow easily into other rooms that may have darker-toned decor and furnishings.
