As kitchens more and more the central place in the home (just as it was for hundreds of years, before the television), they’re taking on more vibrant, energetic colors. Sure there are a few classics that are well-established as such for a reason, for example an appealing hardwood floor installation for a kitchen will never go away- it goes great with anything. As for the rest of the kitchen, more and more you’ll find that options for kitchen supplies are as varied as they can be.

The kitchen is absolutely a key place for color, says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, one of the premier color forecasters in the country. “It’s the place where people gather, so it’s apt to have some mixing and matching of colors to create high energy.”

2012 Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango

Since most appliances are basic black, white or silver, you need bursts of color on other places. “Most kitchens have minimal wall space, so it’s a good place to splash some bold color and make a statement without overpowering the room,” says designer Jamie Drake, author of New American Glamour, whose clients include Madonna and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

We’re seeing bolder colors that complement stainless steel, as well as the darker cabinet colors that are in style,

explains Becky Ralich Spak, senior designer at Sherwin Williams. “Aztec clay colors ” such as copper, henna and ginger as well as gold tones, are popular options.” Continue reading →

Design  A recent survey done by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) has shown that what clients really are looking for in their kitchen remodel projects is a multi-functional space, which reflects their individual style. One component of this trend is the integration and concealment of appliances, which opens the kitchen floor plan, embracing adjoining areas of the home, rather than becoming an intrusion into them. The economy continues to encourage homeowners to consider products and designs that are affordable and deliver long-term value. Continue reading →

This gorgeous high quality log cabins Isle Of Wight kitchen wasn’t always this stylish and functional. With no room to cook, cramped counter space, its owners knew they needed to renovate the kitchen of their 1935 cottage in upstate New York.

So where did they start? From scratch! Since any upgrades would be a waste of money unless the quite bad layout was replanned, they began discussing the kitchen layout and the water systems for which the Plumbing Projects in Dallas TX have great inspiration.

The first step was to alter the floor plan in the 8×10-foot galley kitchen to add the space they needed. The second step was to discuss residential and commercial plumbing repair and installation with experts such as a Professional Plumbing Las Vegas company. Since there was plenty of plumbing work done, and we wanted to make sure we didn’t let our guard down so soon after completing this project, we have the contact information of an emergency plumbing service we can call. If we notice anything unusual our plan is to call them and schedule an appointment if they think that might be best. In case of water problems, visit sites like https://diamondh2o.com/residential-water-treatment/linq-systems/ to solve you water issues.

In addition, it is important for the health and safety of the families or any people using the water system that appropriate control measures are in place to prevent legionella bacteria growth in the water systems. Ensuring that the plumbing systems are regularly checked for potentially risky areas and anything else that might be a health and safety issue is important. Conducting a Cooling Tower Legionella Testing is necessary for the safety of the residents.

Kitchen is a place where you spend many hours cooking different, tasty meals. The design of the kitchen becomes important if you want to save time and be comfortable yet efficient at the same time.

Although the furniture and the kitchen equipment seem to have their own place normally, in this design you will find all them in one place. It’s not entirely obvious at the first sight, but this kitchen is quite compact too – You do not need to move yourself away while you are cooking, so you will save more time for your own personal interest and move faster.

Mismatched-DIY

‘Shabby chic’ is an up-and coming trend, DIY cabinets are for the creative ones (you can check them at this website). Shabby chic is a form of design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their age and signs of wear and tear (sometimes the older the better) or new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique. At the same time, a soft, minimalistic, and feminine feel is emphasized to differentiate it from regular vintage decor; hence the “chic” in the name.

Materials are as varied as you can imagine, from shipping crates to thrift-shop finds to old metal filing cabinets. Best of all, it’s dirt cheap!

I’ve been to a friend the other day for a small get-together and we found that just about everyone just gravitated toward the kitchen – and we stayed there! If you think about it, the kitchen is probably the most used room in the house. And you don’t just stay there like that. (in most cases, anyway.)

Kitchens today have to do a lot more, as for most families the kitchen is now the pivotal room within the home. The boundaries for kitchen remodeling designs and kitchen renovations have widened so much that most will include options for dining, working and relaxing which can make your options endless and sometimes complex.
