Answers to Your Home Cabinetry Questions

Choices Choices Choices, Yes You Do Have Kitchen Design Choices

When designing your homes cabinetry needs whether you are building new or remodeling, the choices available are endless. So we suggest you start your search early in the process. The multiple wood species, cabinetry door styles and finishes alone can make your head spin. With a designer that will help you narrow the choice to the one that satisfies your wants and needs, the project becomes manageable and fun. This should be the goal of your project. Find the designer that will help you have fun in your project. After the cabinetry is specified and you have decided that contemporary, traditional, rustic or maybe the old farmhouse look is what you want, we have many more decisions to make. Again, we highly recommend you start the process of cabinetry in the early stages of the total project.

Cabinetry

The choices of cabinetry are many. Oak, Eastern Hard Rock Maple, Hickory/Pecan, Fir (very soft), Quarter Sawn/Rift Oak, Laminate Wood Designs are just a few of your choices. Door Styles come in just as many choices as well. If you know exactly what you are looking for your choices will be easier to make. We do suggest taking a tour of the designers showroom to help finalize your decisions. There could be a wood or cabinet door style you will fall in love with. At least give yourself the chance to see all that is available. We also suggest you look through magazines then sticky note what you like. It helps when you are working with your designer.

Cabinetry Accessories

Now this is where you can have a lot of fun. The choices here are seemingly endless. Be careful, many of the accessories take away some of your storage space. If your kitchen is large that might not matter. When designing a smaller kitchen, we must consider the benefit of the accessory verses the space taken. To list a few:

• Roll-out / Slide-out Shelves
  
• Cutlery Dividers
  
• Pullout Spice Racks (great for small spaces)
  
• Stainless Pullout Trash Bins (easy to clean SS)
  
• Swing Out Pantry Units
  
• Pop Up Mixer Stand (every baker needs one)
  
• Spice Drawer Insert
  
• Pull out Pots and Pans Drawer
  

The list goes on. Let's get you with your designer and they can guide you through your choices. As you take the time in the beginning of building your new home or your remodeling project instead of waiting until the cabinetry is needed, your choices will be made with ease rather than rushing through the project quickly.

Kitchen Design – How to Avoid the Biggest Mistakes

Kitchen Design – How to Avoid the Biggest Mistakes

It is known the heart of the home is thew kitchen. It can easily become useless when it doesn't function to the homeowners needs. When building or remodeling be sure to find the designer that is going to listen to your needs and wants. Yes, your designer should know all the rules of design and be able to weave your needs and wants with the rules into the kitchen you desire.
We all tend to assemble in the kitchen. From the kids homework to our guests, off to the kitchen we go. The kitchen is one of the best and most used rooms of the home. When you move forward with updating your existing kitchen or begin designing your new home, your designer must preserve the style you want and the function you need. As designers, adding value to your home as well as more efficient time spent in your new domain is our main focus.

Top Kitchen Mistakes to Avoid

As professional kitchen designers we will offer you design suggestions to help you avoid these unwanted design faux pas. Most if not all of these issues can easily be avoided.

• Be fun and and creative with your new kitchen. There is so much more than just placing cabinetry and countertops. Be sure your personality is a part of your new kitchen.
  

• Lack of counter top space is a huge complaint in many kitchens. Function needs to be a priority right up there with the decorative aspects of your kitchen. Your designer should discuss with you how you use the space in you kitchen. By knowing your habits in the kitchen, we can design a better fitting experience for you. And of course the size of each individual kitchen will be taken into account when the final design is presented.
  
  
  
  
  
• Not preparing for enough storage or the specified storage that the client needs is all to often missed. Be sure you find a qualified designer that knows how to incorporate your needs into the design.
  
  
• Be sure to understand trends! Colors come and go, styles change with a breeze. If you are building your dream kitchen, then it must be your style no matter the trend.
  If you are planning on moving within five years or less, you should consider not getting to trendy.
  
  
• And the perfect triangle is always the best design practice. Don't make a common mistake in planning the location of your sink, refrigerator and cooking surface. The spacing and placement are paramount in a well functioning kitchen.
  
  
  
  From small to large your designer should be able to design all the elements of a perfect kitchen for you. Be sure to find a designer that can accomplish designing you your perfect kitchen.
