White Kitchen Designs – Are they still in style?

In our showroom, painted kitchens are very much the lead horse in the kitchen cabinet finish race. With a wide variety of color options to choose from homeowners choose paints over stains more often at Kitchen World. Certain television networks have changed the way in which kitchen styles are promoted to the masses but it is important to still speak with a local designer who understands the trends in your home town.

White vs Off-White

Over the last several years the pure white kitchen designs have fallen off some with off-whites picking up the slack. Whites with tones of brown or grey have become the most popular however pure white kitchen designs are still very much in vogue.

Trending Colors

As we work on kitchen designs in our showroom the influx of customers requesting greys and blues is increasing. The greys range in darkness and the blues can be light like a robin’s egg or as dark as a navy blue. Solid colors with simple door styles are the most commonly requested combinations at Kitchen World.

Why White?

White cabinets are timeless and they can work in any space. White cabinets allow the room to seem bigger and brighter which allows other finishes to pop; countertops, flooring, backsplash or even hardware can give that “wow factor”! Designing with white cabinetry allows these other items to stand out without overwhelming the space.

How Do You Decide?

With the abundance of ideas available on television, online and in print it can be overwhelming to decide what is right for your kitchen. We encourage you to consult with one of our designers who will provide you samples to compare, 3D layouts to review and years of experience to guide you through the process.

Beautiful and Durable – the Quartz Countertop

New countertops can make a huge difference in a home even if the kitchen cabinets are not being replaced. Old countertops can make a space seem dated, particularly in kitchens with laminate or Corian countertops. Quartz countertops have surged in popularity and here are a few reasons you should consider a quartz countertop for your kitchen, bath or recreation area design.

Durability

Quartz countertops are a manmade product and thus have all the strength of natural stone but little to none of the imperfections. Quartz countertops are strong, easy to clean and incredibly durable!

Eco-Friendly

The process by which manufacturers create a quartz countertop involves grinding up leftover pieces of stone, adding color and introducing flecks of other materials to create the desired pattern. This re-use of other products that otherwise may end up in the scrap heap should give you comfort that you’ve made a good decision for yourself and the planet.

Consistent Color

Unfortunately the earth doesn’t churn out slab after slab of granite that appear identical. There can be significant variations in veining, inclusions and color distribution. On the other hand quartz countertops are very consistent so that look you fall in love with in the showroom will be the same look you will have installed into your home!

Choices

There are exponentially more color choices in quartz countertops that we see in granite. Some are designed to mimic natural granite or marble without the maintenance associated with those materials. There is a color out there for you!

We encourage you to consider a quartz countertop for your next project. Give us a call to schedule a consultation.
