Having Your Cake and Eating It Too
We encourage homeowners in Northeast Ohio who want to create
the kitchen of their dreams to think big.
Develop a wish list with every possible need, want and desire on
it. In many cases, not everything on the
wish list is doable. However, the process of listing everything you could
possible want helps designers to understanding your priorities and enables them
to develop solutions that result in an aesthetically pleasing, high-performing,
exceptionally functional kitchen.
Guidance for Developing a Kitchen Wish List
Start with cabinetry.
At the top of most homeowners’ in Medina, Ohio wish lists is custom
cabinets. Custom cabinets enable
homeowners to have it their way, allowing homeowners to obtain the details and
features to make personal design statements in their home and outfit their new
kitchen to exacting requirements. Imagine cabinets that rise to the ceiling or
make the best use of awkward spaces.
Custom cabinets have almost unlimited style and finish
options. You are not limited to oak or cherry. Instead, you can opt for more
alternative woods such as bamboo, zebra, mahogany or whatever else your heart
may desire. Specialty finishes such as hand-brushed washes can be specified for
custom cabinets. There is a blank canvas for door styles as well.
Another advantage of investing in custom cabinetry is that
it provides the ultimate flexibility to select the right appliances. Many homeowners in Strongsville, Ohio love
the clean lines of counter-depth refrigerators that are flush with the
cabinetry. Custom cabinets can
accommodate any appliance dimension.
Speaking of appliances, many dream kitchen must-haves
include smart and high-performing appliances. Smart convection ovens, with
steam and air frying capabilities often are on top of the wish list along with
smart dual drawer model dishwashers that help to save water and energy. Smart faucets that can be activated by touch
or voice command are another extremely popular feature of a dream kitchen.
Next on the list is countertops. There’s a reason why quartz is the number one
countertop material among homeowners in Valley City, Ohio. Quartz is made from engineered stone and is
comparable in appearance to granite and marble however, it is not porous and is
far more resistant to staining, making Quartz easy to maintain and clean. There
are an almost limitless number of colors, patterns and finishes available.
Quartz can even incorporate veins in interesting patterns to resemble marble
and natural stone. Typical quartz slabs are the same thickness as granite, 3cm.
However, quartz is heavier than granite and much stronger, allowing for larger
tops and longer overhangs. Plus, quartz’ durability means that it won’t chip or
crack as easily as other surfaces.
There’s good reasons to invest in a high-performing
sink. Studies indicate that homeowners
spend up to 50% of their time in the kitchen in front of the sink. A workstation sink is a multitask center,
doing far more than serving as a place to hold dirty dishes. They are used for preparing meals, washing
and rinsing everything, cleaning vegetables and other foods, rinsing pasta,
soaking pots and pans, bathing infants, and drying spaces for glasses and
dishes. The sink also serves as a water center, where an instant hot makes a
cup of tea in a matter of sectors or filtered and chilled water are available on
demand. And another compelling reason
homeowners in Bath, Ohio gravitate to workstation sinks is they save valuable
countertop space.
We find that homeowners in Medina, Ohio are in one of two
range hood camps. There are those who
want their range hood to be statement-making and serve as a focal point in
their new dream kitchen. The other camp prefers their range hood be housed in
cabinetry, hidden from view.
When developing your wish list make sure you consider both
lighting and backsplash. Dream kitchens
include chandeliers, pendants, LED in-drawer, in-cabinet, undercounter and
undercabinet LED accent lights and other fixtures that provide the necessary
task lighting for meal preparation.
When it comes to backsplashes, slabs are growing in
popularity often in the same materials that is used for countertops. Slabs provide a dramatic ambience and are
easy to clean.
