KITCHEN & BATH REMODELING

Among the biggest perks of every kitchen renovation is the increased functionality that makes everyday tasks and duties effortless. We’ve perfected the effectiveness of what you’ll learn is called a work triangle, yet customize these features to bring out a visual impact that you’ll admire for years. No matter which shape your kitchen happens to be, we can offer solutions that modernize and improve the versatility of how everyday living creates comfort for you.

Our kitchen designs also serve as an immediate increase in your home’s value even if you don’t plan to sell your home anytime soon. Just as every home has a central meeting point where people naturally come together, a renovated kitchen always creates positive vibes and invigorated conversation.

Over the years, kitchen trends and styles have seen their fair share of ups and downs. We keep up with all of the latest trends that are new or have returned to fashion. Regularly, we update our blog with the hottest trends that emerge in kitchen styles. But it’s the history of kitchen design that we’ve followed that continually evolves into something new. Many of the most popular trends we’ve been seeing a lot of lately include Traditional and Farmhouse styles.

Not that Contemporary and Modern styles are starting to see hybrid variations that include mixtures within traditional kitchen trends. We also keep an eye on design elements such as natural wooden cabinets, open shelving, smart kitchen designs, and stone countertops. Often, it’s a combination of many elements that creates a kitchen theme rather than a truly defined style that we help all of our clients achieve.

Not every bathroom is designed to be comfortable and it typically takes the personal touches that a homeowner will add to achieve this. When it comes to a complete bathroom renovation, these ideas and needs are better defined to have higher beneficial comfort through the design itself. This further helps create smoother transitions of matching styles and elegant aesthetics. More often, a bathroom is meant to be just as original in design- as all kitchens have character.

And though a bathroom renovation is meant to create comfort, this also plays a big part in increasing any property’s worth.

Not to completely put current trends aside, the biggest addition that many bath remodel projects and renovations are seeing is an immediate increase in technology. This includes added ventilation, heated flooring, and tankless water heaters. This also includes water softeners and an overall increase in the size of bathroom fixtures such as tubs, showers, and overall layout design. One aspect of a growing trend is the popularity of vanities and vanity cabinet additions.

What we’re seeing for requested styles that are increasingly popular are transitional and modern designs. This is followed by traditional and contemporary with a generous amount of farmhouse décor added for appealing aesthetics. See a little more about designing the ideal bathroom here.

The initial factors that impact the cost of a kitchen remodel are much simpler to explain as it relates to an overall budget that a client wants to pay. It’s easy to work around a selected level of budget just to save money. However, the ultimate decision on what is being designed can differ greatly. The request for custom wood cabinets or real stone countertops may not be so easy to work into a set budget due to the material cost differences.

Another angle is the difference between reality for how much space is available to work within. A configuration can be altered and changed but doesn’t give you more of a spacious kitchen if the kitchen size can’t be changed. Intricate detail is also another aspect that can begin to increase the cost of a remodel when added trim moldings, crowns, and cornice décor is added onto new cabinetry.

The same can be said about the need to add new appliances that are brand name additions can be much pricier than you might have expected. And though lighting may not seem to be a cost factor, fancy light pendants and hidden lighting can start to add up quickly. Consider that Smart Kitchen technology can further be pricier if you intend to control the dimming, color controls, or even select appliances through smartphone apps.

Let’s just say that there will be a point when expectation and reality don’t quite match. This is where a projected budget isn’t lining up with what you expect from a kitchen remodel. All through the design and discussion process, having the opportunity to consider cost-saving and budgetary recommendations can still deliver the kind of kitchen that you’re looking to have created.

There is also a benefit to hearing about alternative materials that can help pave the way for select items that meet your budget’s target. Or to say the least, save on materials that would otherwise limit the creative process on a kitchen design that meets all of your expectations.

While you would think that kitchen remodel designs are an overwhelmingly requested need by homeowners, bathrooms are now an emerging and growing trend. The main factors have seen numbers jump in the last 2 years by as much as 13% since 2020 and are still rising. Homeowners are looking to increase the value of their homes even further with a bathroom renovation. Not to forget that the need for built-in comfort and spacious amenity fixtures were among the top reasons.

And though many bathrooms often see the replacement of showers and tubs, further upgrades also include facets, vanities, and many other fixtures. Since many of these upgrades can be considered minor renovations, a growing need for complete renovations has become a cost-effective benefit for many homeowners.

The dream of having the perfect bathroom renovated is not that far from being possible with so many cost-saving options that are available. Just as there is a growing interest in natural wooden kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities are no different from the requests for custom wood vanity cabinets. But many people do not know many more options are just-as aesthetically pleasing that don’t cost nearly as much as custom bathroom cabinetry.
