If you think you know kitchen cabinets, think again. The sky is the limit on design and colors this year. New variations on old themes as well as totally new creations are emerging. And you know, it’s a beautiful thing! Functional kitchens including custom cabinetry, countertops, and shelves are becoming works of art in Parkland.

Cabinets, islands, and shelves make your kitchen stand out. If your kitchen seems like a sore thumb it may be time for a renovation. If you are building a new home your designs are only limited by your imagination. Before you begin remodeling or construction you should be aware of what’s trending in 2018 before making a costly investment.

Cabinet Trends

A trend that’s been around for awhile but is hot now is glass door cabinets. This style seems to open the room up more. You can see what’s inside and add decorative items along with dishes or pots and pans. Keep them clean and shiny, and wow, they’re a real winner.

Multi-color cabinets are major items for new kitchens, especially two tones. Two or more tones can add depth to a kitchen. Typically the wall cabinets are one color and the base cabinets are another. You can create a strong visual impact with complimentary colors of your choice.

Using cabinets more for storage is in vogue this year. Creative cabinet storage solutions are available in many styles both in width and depth. Keeping everything close at hand makes kitchen work easier and faster. Keeping small appliances out of sight is a major goal.

Island Trends

Everyone wants more food prep space in the kitchen and countertops alone may not be the answer. Islands seem to be the most practical answer. Larger islands with beautiful countertops are popular. Adding a sink and plumbing are gaining more ground because you don’t need to walk to the sink. These are easy to add to your Parkland kitchen.

Most people want to blend the island into the rest of the kitchen for a seamless appearance. Your cabinet makers can handle this job. Two options are using the island for food prep and storage only and using it as an additional eating area.

Islands typically match the color of the cabinets. Some people use a contrasting color for variety. Installing drawers, doors, and shelves on one side provide some of that much-needed space you are looking for. Use your own touches hardware for a special look.

Shelving Ideas

Combine enclosed cabinets with custom shelves to visually open up the kitchen. If you have extra wall space, adding shelving is a perfect way to decorate as well as store cooking utensils. You might want a lip on the front of each shelf to prevent items from slipping off.

Adding shelving in front of windows is a new trend. They’re great for simple storage and allow plenty of light to come into the room, especially when light colors are used. They can create an airy feeling in the room and be part of your custom kitchen design.

Another traditional option that is growing in hanging pots and pans on the walls under shelves. This provides a homey and cozy look and feels to any kitchen. Do a little research and you will discover other ideas to your liking.

Counter Tops

New countertop ideas are jaw-dropping. Once your custom cabinets and shelving are in place you add the countertops. They need to be durable and easy to clean. Wood and butcher blocks are still trending from previous years. Things that are changing include stronger legs, using reclaimed wood, and bars to hang items from.

Quartz is another material that is “in” this year. This non-porous surface is less prone to damage. It comes in many different colors and each piece is different. Its natural beauty is unsurpassed. A benefit that is often overlooked is that it repels bacteria.

Don’t forget about seamless kitchen sinks and countertops. Many people want the sink and countertops to blend together and appear seamless. They may or may not be made out of the same material. They offer the benefit of preventing mold and bacteria from forming.

Hardware

Kitchen hardware is also changing this year in a number of ways including:

• Different shades of colors
• Unusual styles
• Reclaimed hardware
• Warm Metals
• Mixing and matching
• Two-toned look

Popular finishes include nickel, gold, brass, and bronze. A lot of cooking and entertaining means the hard use of hardware where finishes may stain and wear. People are spending more money for more durable hardware that keeps its beautiful appearance.

The selection of hardware seems to be endless. Old styles are popping up again and variations of traditional types are growing. New types of materials include glass and stone. It’s an awesome year to contemplate custom kitchen ideas and designs with our variety of services.

Our Closet Designs and Styles Are Limitless

Let your imagination and creativity be your guides to beautiful and timeless closets. Most people have more than one purpose for closets. Here are some major ones:

• Walk-in Closets
• Reach-in Closets
• California Closets
• Laundry Room
• Specialty Closets
• Kitchen Pantries

Walk-in closets offer more space and depth than a reach-in closet. Typically they are located in a master bedroom. They have an assortment of drawers, doors, and hanger areas to just about accommodate any personal items you would want to store. Do you want it for a storage area only or for storage and a dressing area? We can design and build either option.

Reach-in closets can offer a lot of space but not much depth. A general guideline is 24” to 30” deep to allow for hangers. They are common in hallways and smaller areas. You can create an efficient space with different types of storage opportunities.

You can arrange a number of different ways to store personal items including:

• Adjustable mounting
• Stackable storage
• Shelving
• Hanging
• Cube organizers
• Drawer units

Hang, fold or stand up items in your closet. We work with all of them to fit your needs. Many of our customers arrange items in seasonal zones. Another common way to organize is by type of clothing such as coats, blouses, trousers, shirts, shoes, etc.

Laundry room closets and kitchen pantries are two more of our specialties. Adequate lighting is another feature of quality closets than enhance their beauty and visibility. There are many models to choose from with styles and finishes to match your closets.

Choices of Hinges, Knobs, and Handles

Put your individual touches on your cabinets with hand-selected hardware. Hinges, knobs, and pulls can make a major impact on your cabinets with their styles, finishes, and ease of use. They can affect the look and feel of the entire room.

Some people choose to recycle old hardware from homes or other buildings. Some of it can be modified in shape and finish. Others choose handmade hardware instead of factory produced knob, pulls, and hinges. Let us know your needs and we will try our best to satisfy them.

Styles

Typical styles include contemporary, modern, traditional, vintage, domestic, and international. You can select exposed or hidden screws in the pulls. Another choice for doors and drawers is metal ring pulls. Horizontal tubular pulls add a contemporary look.

Hammered iron handles painted dark colors provide a country style look. Add natural stones or shells for an unusual touch. Mosaic patterns provide an interesting pattern. You don’t have to stick to hardware found in America. Search online for styles that are popular in other countries.

One example is hardware from your ancestor’s countries.

Materials

Choose from among wood, metal, porcelain, glass, plastic, natural stones, and shell hardware. Select unusual knobs, pulls, and hinges carefully to make sure they won’t tarnish easily and wear prematurely. Children can be hard on them. Make sure the screws holding them won’t come loose. Use your creativity here and amaze family and friends.

Finishes

Finishes include silver, brass, gold, antique brass, copper, brushed nickel, and rainbow colors. Actually, there are many different colors and combinations of finishes to choose from. Use ideas you’ve seen in other people’s homes, in the catalog, or online. Your choices are only limited by your imagination and those that live with you.
