Kitchen Must Haves
When designing or remodeling a kitchen, there are certain things you want to have! Though the list in your head might be pretty big, the list I have is concise and organized - and who knows, maybe you can find a few things you may have forgotten about. Below are the top ideas you should start to think about when you are thinking about home remodeling in Atherton. Some of them are obvious, while others are not. But, hopefully this list gets your creative juices flowing and gets you excited about the new design choices ahead.
Professional Grade Appliances
If you really want to make a statement in your kitchen, you cook a lot, have a lot of dinner parties or you just want to have appliances that are going to last almost forever, professional grade appliances are the way to go. They do tend to cost more, but they make up for it in the quality they present. Gas fueled ranges are a top choice for Professional Chef's, so if you cook a lot in the kitchen, they just might be the appliance of your dreams. Be sure to check out professional grade brands such as Wolf, Viking and Thermador models. These primarily come in stainless steel, but you might be able to find a few in some other colors too such as slate gray or black.
Commercial Grade Refrigerators
If it seems like you never have enough room for all the food you cook in your kitchen, why not consider also getting a commercial fridge? These are the same fridges that restaurants across the country use. They have all the features you need, and a ton of space to boot. If you want the best of the best when it comes to commercial grade look for sub-zero and Thermador for your next kitchen remodeling. Also, unlike the appliances above, you CAN find these refrigerators in stainless steel, white or black to help match your cabinets in the kitchen.
Countertops That Have Pizzazz and Style
If you want to make a statement in your kitchen, consider getting granite, quartz or Caesarstone counters in your kitchen. They are all pretty practical when it comes to price, and they are incredibly beautiful as far as looks go. Another option is luxurious wood countertops with a stain overtop of the wood. This creates a warm and inviting look into your kitchen so that everyone will feel welcome. Some good wood types are exotic ones like zebrawood, lyptus, teak as well as mahogany.
Cooking Friendly Faucets
If you cook in your kitchen a lot, you know that sometimes your hands are full - or worse yet, you have left over ground beef on your hands from the hamburgers you just got done forming. The last thing you want to do is have bacteria all over your faucet. If you want a better way of going about this, check out kitchen faucets that have butterfly handles or better yet touch free models. Simply walk up to them, wave or place a hand in front of the sensor and it turns out without you ever having to touch a thing. You can also take a look at gooseneck faucets which have a tall double jointed spout that allows you to spray into a pot and still have enough room to move other things around in the kitchen sink. You can even find some cool plumbing kits that let you install a faucet on the backsplash of your stove to fill pasta pots or soup pots for easy access. All very cool things when it comes to kitchen remodeling in Atherton.
Backsplashes to Transform Your Space
If you have a kitchen budget, which you probably do, you want to stay within the budget, but still make the kitchen look amazing. If you are on a budget and you want to only do small or inexpensive projects to make a statement, try looking at backsplashes. These can create a dynamic look and feel and for very little money. You can even install these on your own. Look for ways to create a dynamic look, but still match the decor in your kitchen. Also, look for recycled materials for an even better budget and an amazing look such as glass, ceramic and brick tiles.
