3 Kitchen Remodeling Ideas That Will Set Off Fireworks
Years ago, the family kitchen was a “working” room that was unadorned and closed off from guests. Today it’s the heart of the home for both families and guests.
Here are three ideas for making the heart of your home a place that everybody will love to congregate:
2. Stay with Stainless
Designers are always looking for the next
kitchen appliance color. The trend right now is toward bold colors. But, as
much as some designers try to kill stainless, it’s still a great choice because
it’s easy to clean and it blends with so many different styles.
3. Open Things Up
There’s a significant move toward open-style
shelving in the kitchen. For one thing, it creates an open, airy feel (which is
particularly nice if you have a smaller kitchen). Plus, it’s a great way to
show off attractive or unusual items (like that French press you never actually
use!).
4. 4th of July Bonus!
Keep your eye on LED lighting solutions for
the kitchen. There are more and more possibilities all the time, and these
lights (pendant, chandeliers, or track lights) give off a much more natural and
pleasing light than CFLs.
A Final Fourth of July Fact
