KITCHEN UPDATES SU R E TO CO O K U P BU Y E R I N T E R E ST APPLIANCE INTEGRATION

Many homeowners are replacing unsightly appliances with concealed, fully integrated appliances that blend seamlessly into the kitchen. Refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, warming drawers, and more can be disguised with cabinetry-matching panels and will accept cabinet door hardware. The appliances are flush with the cabinetry, the controls are on the interior, and they have no visible hinges. These units can enhance the sleek, continuous look of the cabinetry in a contemporary kitchen, or perhaps create the look of an armoire in a traditional setting. Kitchens are looking less and less like kitchens, and are blending in more with other rooms of the home. Hard-to-clean knobs on cooktops have been replaced with touch controls. Built-in, high-definition televisions are now a must-have for many homeowners as well.

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN Today’s kitchens are all about aesthetics, functionality and environmental consciousness.

Sean Daigle of Downsview Kitchens, one of the nation’s premier design/build kitchen companies, has lent his expertise to what’s hot in “the heart of the home.” Read on for Daigle’s knowledgeable take on the trends and find inspiration to enhance your kitchen! Whether for your own enjoyment or to increase your home’s resale value, kitchen improvements are one of the smartest moves you can make.

NODS TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Many cabinetry manufacturers are offering “green” products and materials through more environmentally conscious manufacturing techniques. Earth-friendly material examples might include wood-grain laminates or reconstituted veneers which are engineered from plantation-grown trees. Other manufacturing examples would be the use of formaldehyde-free adhesives along with earth-friendly paints and sealers. Appliance manufacturers are making more energy-efficient products too, such as dishwashers that use less water and with a delayed-start option so your appliance can run during off-peak hours. LED lighting within the kitchen keeps energy usage down, and unlike traditional lighting, produces no heat and keeps your workspace cooler.

HIGH-TECH OPTIONS

Along with amazing new cabinetry-front materials and clever interior solutions, some lines are now offering cabinetry with a handle-free design where doors and drawers open automatically with just a light touch or a pull. Upper-cabinet doors can lift up high out of the way, similar to the overhead compartments on an aircraft, and can be closed with a simple press of an accessible button. Drawers and doors now come equipped with “soft close” glides and hinges allowing a silent, smooth, and effortless closing motion; preventing slamming.

Appliances have also gone high-tech and have become much quieter. Some refrigerator brands offer water and air purification systems. Many appliances have automatic sensing features or even computer systems that can help ease and optimize cooking. It’s possible now to monitor, maintain, or control your appliance remotely when you’re not even home.

STYLE: The heavy and elaborate details of the traditional kitchens from the last decade are being replaced with simple, less intricate embellishments. Many of today’s traditional kitchens no longer have the great level of detail, inlays & appliqués, heavy carvings, and ornate stacked mouldings. Kitchen spaces also seem to be reflecting a homeowner’s personal unique style more often these days. A homeowner may desire a red island, an eco-friendly kitchen, or perhaps an ultra-modern kitchen in a very traditional home. Mixing styles seems to be more accepted. In fact, the “transitional” kitchen has come to the forefront as the desired trend.

FLOORPLANS: Open, “social” kitchens have replaced formal, closed-in kitchens. As everyone tends to gravitate to the kitchen, open floorplans often help to create a functional, family-friendly flow from the kitchen to the family or living rooms. The size of the average custom-built home has decreased over the past few years, but the size of the average kitchen has remained the same. This reflects the popularity of the kitchen as the focal point of the home.

COUNTERTOPS: Polished granite countertops are still the material of choice, but are fading in popularity as people are looking for new options in materials and finishes. Limestone, engineered stones, wood, stainless steel and marble are just some alternatives. Your countertop surfaces are also a place where you can use eco-friendly materials such as recycled glass, recycled metals, concrete or reclaimed wood.

FINISHES: Cabinetry with custom, soft-white finishes such as “Linen White” and “White Dove” has tremendously grown in popularity. Color trends today may include simple whites with rich elements of wood – perhaps even an exotic veneer. Dark is out and neutral, lighter finishes are in. Since resale is always a topic, it’s nice to know that neutral palettes tend to be more appealing to a broader audience than an unconventional color might be. A neutral color palette also opens the doors for some bold color choices in backsplashes, wall coverings, and accessories to add a bit of drama to your space!
