A Kitchen With Personality!

 

One of the reasons why many of our clients want to renovate their kitchens is that their current space no longer works for them. In many cases, the design and aesthetic no longer meet their needs or those of their families. What type of dream kitchen will reflect your personality?

 
 

If you are looking for a tried and true timeless style, a white palette might be the perfect fit.  White is classic and one of the reasons why many homeowners opt for white kitchens.  

For clients that desire the clean lines and look of white cabinetry, we often recommend complementing the white palette with a bold backsplash of colored glass, patterned tiles, or pops of accent color in countertops, wall coverings, faucets, and cabinet hardware.

 
 

Another option to offset white upper and lower cabinets is to extend the backsplash from the countertop to the ceiling to create a focal point that wows.

 
 

Painting an island with different colors or selecting a different color for lower cabinets that offsets white uppers are other common options to enhance white cabinetry.

The choices are almost endless.  Not only will a different color serve to soften the space, but it will also make the kitchen a more enjoyable space to occupy.

 
 

Maximizing the space to fit your lifestyle and design sensibilities is another compelling reason to create a kitchen that reflects your personality. Clutter is another common feature of non-performing kitchens. Kitchens at their core are places to prepare, cook and share meals therefore an adequate space to do so is a must. A well-designed kitchen is an organized kitchen. One of the biggest causes of buyer’s remorse is not investing more in storage solutions. Manufacturers have developed creative drawer and cabinet organizers when paired with in-cabinet lighting systems that not only provide effective storage but also make everything more easily accessible.

 
 

For homeowners who frequently use countertop appliances, we often recommend appliance garages that allow you easy access to a toaster blender, food processor, etc. that can be easily hidden in cabinetry to free up counter space. Another option to store countertop appliances off the countertop is in pullout drawers in lower cabinets.
