With each passing year, many will notice that the kitchen design trends will have changed slightly from that of the previous year. It is important to collect as many ideas as possible from credible sources such as home designs shows, and speak to a professional that knows what is up to date and will look best in your home. Of course the main point of the new design is to create a kitchen layout that works best for you and your family, while remaining visually appealing to increase the value of your home.

Functional

The kitchen design trend for 2012 is the simple idea of functionality and organization. The cabinets and drawers certainly need to be optimally functional, which means that you may need to have them custom made with specific dimensions to best suit your needs. It has become quite common for new drawers to come with pre-installed organization racks which slide to help you organize your silverware, while providing extra space beneath the rack to conveniently store your cutlery in the same drawer. Your cabinets certainly need to be attractive and crafted of high quality hardwood to assure years of extended use.

Practical

The layout of the kitchen must be practical, and the kitchen trend of 2012 is all about saving space to allow you to move freely while the room is in use. Appliances such as stove/oven combinations, and the refrigerator must be in appropriate areas of the room. It has become very popular for kitchen appliances to be crafted of highly attractive stainless steel.

The countertops that you choose for your remodeled kitchen are just as important for the appearance of your kitchen as the cabinets you choose. The latest trend for kitchen countertops is to use a hard stone such as granite or marble. It is important for the color of the marble or granite countertop to have the perfect contrast to the color of your cabinets. The perfect choice of color combinations between your countertops and cabinets assure that your kitchen will glow.

Be sure to keep an open mind when you begin to design your new kitchen. It may take a bit of time to settle on an idea, but it is worth the careful thought. Be sure to seek advice and tips from a professional kitchen remodeler.

Repaint:
Changing the walls by removing wall paper or simply repainting is a great place to start with your bathroom. Many people don’t realize that if they have purchased a pre-owned home that it is likely that whatever is underneath the old wallpaper or paint hasn’t seen the light of day in ages. Because of this it is hard to tell if the walls themselves need to be repaired (such as drywall) and by removing the outer layer you can see exactly what condition they are in. In addition, wall fixtures such as lights, mirrors, and other furniture can then be affixed to your remodeled walls to better suite your style, especially if you opened them up to investigate the electrical system. Some people even choose to change the entrance into their bathrooms by breaking down walls or opening them up.

Update Floor and Replace the Entryway:
Changing the flooring and doors is another great place to start in a bathroom remodel. The variety of flooring is nearly endless when it comes to this ranging from carpet or hard floors such as tiles, linoleum, and even granite or marble. The door to your bathroom can be just as important. As a passageway into the bathroom it is the first thing someone sees before entering and the last thing they see upon leaving. Choosing a door that matches the flooring with give a very sound and complete appearance to your bathroom.

Update Faucets, Sink, and Toilet:
Plumbing and water fixtures are likely the most common bathroom remodel that is performed. We all know that overtime our sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and showers eventually wear down despite how well we try and take care of them. Changing the faucets and sink is great way to add style to the bathroom and accompanying it with a matching toilet and shower/tub makes for a great overall appearance. Many people choosing to put in a bathtub-shower combo as opposed to buying two separate units so that they can save money.

Almost all the areas of the bathroom are linked together in one way or another. If you remodeling the walls you can make room for doors as well easily alter where the electrical wiring goes. When the floor is remodeled you can take note of the plumbing and water fixtures and see if you want to move things around. Both of these make it easier to add or replace new items in your bathroom.

Then a few days later I get an email from Jeannie asking me to stop by to have fresh baked cookies in her new kitchen. I swing by her house and I get the same thrill. We eat cookies( and they were good!) and talk about how great her kitchen looks. I am so passionate about what I do. Let me provide 2 hours of complimentary design service and we’ll create a space that will make your heart skip a beat….just like mine! No lunch required!

Now for the clincher. I’ll do my best to bring those magazine photos to life. Choosing like materials that were in the photos, right down to the exact granite and similar backsplash. Then I’ll throw in a design that “I” think the house needs. And wouldn’t you know it. They choose the design that the house needed, not the one they been dreaming of for years. It doesn’t always work that way, but when it does, it proves that another set of eyes on a project can bring something truly unique to the table.

With my 2 hour complimentary design service we can check out that folder, add some new twists and come up with the kitchen design you didn’t even know you wanted.

I heard once that the cast of “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest” was actually a group of homeowners who tried to remodel their kitchens on their own. It can drive you crazy, cause divorce, stress and not to mention, irritable bowel syndrome. I’ve seen it happen and thank God I didn’t fall victim to it when we remodeled our kitchen.

As marketing director of Stone Creek Furniture-Kitchen & Bath, I’ve seen how smooth the process can be when all the workers have experience working together and know exactly what to do. A kitchen remodeling project runs like a fine tuned machine, but if one of the workers is out of sync, it’s the homeowner that is going to overheat. Stone Creek Furniture has developed a team of professionals that “gets ‘er done.” In fact, the team can have you cooking in your kitchen within 10 days from tear down to completion. . I just did a survey with our kitchen customers and most said “having a company to do it all really made a difference.” Folks that “do it yourself” and hire the subs on their own can end up being without a kitchen for months!

Plus, when you have workers that have never worked together, the lack of communication can be detrimental to your project and your health. And, when something goes wrong…the finger pointing starts and you’re stuck in the middle of it. Believe me; you do not need that kind of aggravation in your life. Watch the Money Pit one more time before you decide to manage your kitchen remodeling yourself.

Stone Creek provides all the services needed including hardwood cabinetry, appliances, counter tops, carpentry, and plumbing and electrical. Our team has built hundreds of kitchens together and does everything you need for a successful, quick kitchen remodel.

In a medium sized kitchen you can pretty much get all the bells and whistles you want because you have the space to do it. If budget and imagination are your friends then a great space awaits you at every turn. I can just see the grandkids making cookies at the island or a party of adults that make wine tasting look like kids play. This is a kitchen to be lived in…and a kitchen everyone wants to be in.

Let’s talk about the BIG kitchen. I don’t come across these as often,but sometimes a large kitchen is a bigger challenge because at the end of the day you still want it to feel cozy. If it’s coffee and the morning paper at the island or 25 friends on a Saturday night trying out their culinary skills you still want your kitchen to feel warm and inviting. As I was standing in this raw space a few days ago I imagined being invited to this home for a party and it definitely would be an occasion to shop for a new outfit. This gracious residence made me want to become friends with my clients real quick. The warm finish on the cabinets and the granite that makes you wonder if it would look better hung as artwork. Now that’s a kitchen.

All clients and kitchens are special to me. If your kitchen is small, medium or large it will be your perfectly sized kitchen. Let me help with my 2 hours of complimentary design service.
