While you may not be in winter mode quite yet, the season (like it or not) is right around the corner. And, believe it or not, it is one of the busiest times here at Pro Plus Services for home remodeling. Whether it be an outdated bathroom or your family kitchen, an addition that provides added usable square footage, our team is here to help.
To kick off the season, we’re providing you with a bit of inspiration around one of the most commonly gathered areas of the home – your kitchen. Let’s get started.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendly
When it comes to trends, the area of eco-friendly and sustainable features around the home is one that we believe is here to stay. More than ever, people are focused on their carbon footprint and ways to reduce the impact they make. However, designing this type of kitchen not only ensures a sustainable area of your home, it provides you with a design that could last a lifetime.
According to Realtor Magazine, eco-friendly countertops, wallpapers, and even insulation products are some of the most desirable for home buyers. If you’re redesigning your kitchen, consider materials such as natural stone, reclaimed wood, or concrete. Countertops with antimicrobial properties allow homeowners to reduce the use of harsh chemicals. Further, research cabinet options to discover options with low levels of formaldehyde. Swap out light bulbs, replace outdated appliances, and consider your family’s water usage and how to reduce it.
Minimalist Design in Backsplashes
If you’re considering a countertop backsplash in your kitchen remodel, be sure to explore eco-friendly options. For trendy home remodels, think neutral and minimal, but stylish (of course).
Natural stone backsplashes, clay or ceramic subway tile, and recycled glass have proven to be forefront contenders. As you know, natural stone comes in a variety of colors and designs allowing you to select the perfect slab for your desired look. Consider a white stone enhanced with a delicate swirl – and the same for reclaimed wood tiles. No matter which direction you choose, the possibilities, benefits and beauty are endless.
Lower Cabinet Drawers
While the first two categories are pretty easy to fall in line with your remodeling, the subject of cabinets can be tricker. As one of the dominating features of the kitchen, cabinets make a statement and can make or break your design. So, when it comes to the newest trend of replacing lower cabinets with drawers, we’ll leave you with the final say. However, for the sake of the article – we’re jumping in.
Kitchen pull-outs offer a new perspective to homeowners. Not only do you have an entirely new, clean look – You have storage options galore. Gone are the days of fumbling around with pots and pans, breaking your back to reach the lid that is tucked under piles of other lids in the back of the cabinet, and sifting through endless containers of spices. Yes, you read that right. With pull-outs comes organization – possibly one of the most desirable features of any homeowner that spends an ample amount of time in the kitchen.
How long will this trend stay? We’re not sure, but we are digging it in the meantime.
