KITCHEN & BATH REMODELING
“The paint colors you pick for a kitchen cabinet makeover will set the entire tone of the room—and some shades are much better at creating a warm and welcoming ambiance for the heart of your home than others.
One of the most common kitchen decorating mistakes our interior design experts see in their clients’ homes is an outdated kitchen cabinet color—which is why they’re here to spill on the seven shades you should avoid for a modern space.”
“Between expensive appliances, custom cabinets, and costly countertops, we spend a lot of money on our kitchens. In fact, according to 2024 data pulled by Angi, U.S. homeowners spend an average of almost $27,000 on a kitchen remodel. To make sure that all of this money isn’t creating a kitchen we’ll want to update again in five years, the trick is to incorporate timeless kitchen design elements that won’t go out of style. By choosing features that stand the test of time, you’ll save yourself money (and the work of remodeling) down the line. So what are the kitchen trends that won’t make you cringe a few years from now? Stick with ideas that have been loved for decades.”
“Having a cabin or simply indulging in lake life is a lifelong dream of many. Rustic decor is down-to-Earth, cozy, and the opposite of the modern designs we’ve come to know and love. This timeless aesthetic just so happens to be popular right now, and lucky for us, we love the look! According to Homes & Gardens, there are a few key trends you may want to consider when going full-on country in the kitchen. The design experts suggest focusing on quality handmade cupboards, getting an oversized rustic-style dining table for family gatherings, getting creative with your pantry, and bringing in a dose of warm woods. Meaghan Hunter, Stylist at Neptune, tells the outlet to make nostalgic accessories and aged furniture a highlight in the room. You can also showcase mismatched dishes, specialty china, and other vintage kitchen must-haves.”
“With a kitchen renovation (actually, let’s make that any renovation!,) it’s so easy to get caught up in inspirational imagery these days — with the likes of scrolling Pinterest, Instagram, and all of these gorgeous home magazines like livingetc, why wouldn’t you want to take little pieces of each and use them as a goal for your own home?”
” The galley kitchen layout has historically gotten a bad rap as the most undesirable layout. But size needn’t upset the flavor of one’s culinary creations nor the look of one’s dream home. In fact, a recent surge in its popularity is proving that what these idiosyncratic layouts lack in square footage, they make up for with clever spatial tricks. Function aside, these pocket-size powerhouses also offer limitless potential for style that packs a punch, as designer David Cafiero’s ship-inspired Provincetown cottage kitchen, Eve Robinson’s moody-slash-sleek Hamptons culinary space, and Joe Lucas’s high-gloss blue wonderland prove.”
