Kitchen Cabinet Design
Kitchen cabinets for 2014 and 2015 are not just about materials or sizes or colors. It’s about changing the overall look and feel of the cabinets. Every year decor enthusiasts chime in with what they think will be the new "it" for the year, and this year it’s all about changing cabinets. The great thing about your kitchen is that while it may need new life breathed into it, it can be done on a budget friendly basis and just by changing a few things, you can change the whole feel of the kitchen in an instant. Here are a few cabinet and storage tips for 2014/2015 when it comes to home remodeling in Cupertino.
Painted Cabinets Are Back!
It wasn't but a few years ago that painted cabinets were out. But, now the forecast for 2014 and 2015 says that painted cabinets are back in when it comes to home remodeling. Take a look at some vibrant or retro hues to make your kitchen pop with color. Colorful cabinets are quickly becoming the new thing to do for trends in 2014 so if you want a few ideas try these: Purples mixed with stainless steel or black appliance’s - gray cabinets with textured finishes - blue cabinets with white walls - a splash of funky colors like lime green, yellow, pink or tangerine orange - dark olive green for contemporary kitchens with lighter shades of gray and white throughout.
Concealed Appliances & Cabinets
In the same way that built in microwaves have always been "in" other concealed appliances are also making quite a mark in 2014. Concealed appliances give you the ability to create a seamless space without breaking the visual appeal of your kitchen space. Think about microwaves, ovens, warmers, dishwashers and refrigerators that are built into walls, counter space and yes even kitchen islands. This is also a really nice option for people that have minimal space, but still want to have all their top end appliances.
Glass Door Cabinets with Colorful Designs
The great thing about home remodeling is while there are trends, there always seem to be many trends to choose from. When it comes to cabinets, a new trend besides the ones above, is to use a glass facing cabinet that uses various colors and designs in the glass. You can do this with painting the glass, using glass etchings or even using recycled glass to create a sublime look that nothing else can compare to. Also, since recycled products are in this year, you could really go all out with the recycled glass designs using all sorts of colored bottles to create tiles (or buy them!) that make your kitchen bright and vibrant. You can also take it one step further and match the glass to other accents in the kitchen remodeling. It really depends on you and what sort of look you are going for.
Aged Hardware for Cabinets
If you have a country chic or otherwise similar look in your kitchen you might be wondering about hardware and other accents such as hanging lights and what is trendy these days. To be honest; old is new. Materials such as chrome, nickel and stainless steel are no longer the materials for hardware anymore. Instead, use warm metals or different shades of iron that are distressed. These tend to look really well with white and gray walls as well as marble and granite countertops when it comes to your home remodeling. You can also start thinking about brass or aged hoods as well which give the space a whole other layer of design.
Floor to Ceiling Cabinets
Floor to ceiling cabinets are having a huge break this month into kitchen design. Not only do they help keep a kitchen streamlines, but taller cabinets means more space to put things which means a more organized kitchen. Floor to ceiling cabinets have all sorts of hooks and shelves to hang small appliances, put dishes, glasses, and other items in. These are also a good stand in for people that have that one bare wall in their kitchen that they have no idea what to do with!
