Kitchen Design Trends

Kitchen design trends that we love.

Functionality

New technology is adding extra efficiency to the modern kitchen. Hydraulic, fold-away cabinet doors, automated lights, and hands-free faucets are becoming more and more common. Sticky hands? No problem! Storage maximization using multi-tiered drawers and non-traditional storage spaces are also gaining popularity.

Color

Soft grey cabinets are a great new take on classic white cabinetry for an updated feel. Of course, the high-contrast black and white color palette is always striking in the kitchen, as are other high-contrast combinations. A pop of color in a non-traditional area, like a brightly colored sink, can really tie the elements of a room together.

Fixtures

Big, hanging light fixtures are a bold way to get the wow-factor with typical low ceilings. Brightly colored light fixtures are also an easily changeable way to change the mood of a neutral kitchen. Faucets and fixtures that reflect modern architecture can be enough to update the look of your kitchen alone.

Counters

Natural stone and quartz countertops are still top-picks, and new neutral colors for quarts countertops lend themselves to contemporary design. Wood countertops are coming up in popularity, and combinations of wood and the usual granite, quartz, or laminate put a modern twist on a traditional space.

5+ Reasons Home Buyers Should Buy New

Why Buy New?

As the National Association of Home Builders’ New Homes Month draws to a close, we would like to reiterate a few reasons why buying a new home is totally worth it.

• Low cost of ownership
• Quality construction
• Energy efficiency
• Customization
• New designs for modern living

New homes come under warranty and are filled with all-new components, lessening the chance for unexpected and costly repairs. They are built with state-of-the-art building materials to the latest building codes for maximum quality, and feature innovative floor plans to fit modern lifestyles. On average, new homes are 30 percent more energy efficient than those built just 5 to 7 years ago. All that, and new homes can be easily customized to fit your family and taste.
