Holiday Entertaining Doesn't Have to Be Stressful!

Holidays are fun! We love spending time with our families, friends and relaxing with loved ones. Holidays can also be stressful if you are the one hosting and have an old or outdated kitchen. 

Remodeling your kitchen will make next year's holiday a lot less stressful. Your remodeled kitchen will help enhance your future holiday parties! 

Clear Some Space

It seems no matter how hard you try to divert your guests to the living room or outdoor patio, it seems they always make their way back to where the food is - in the kitchen! 

Opening  up a wall to create an island or even a bar between the kitchen and family room makes it possible for everyone to feel connected without feeling overcrowded. 

Open floor plans let conversations flow freely without congesting the kitchen!

Consider a cut-out service window if you have a load-bearing wall. You can still cook and prep food while conversing with your guests. They are out of the kitchen but still able to bring you up to speed with the new on goings in their life!

See-Through Storage

Invest your new kitchen with a few glass-fronted cabinets. Not only do glass paneled doors provide the perfect storage but with interior lighting, it's the perfect solution to direct your guests towards glassware rather than having your guests rummage through cupboards and junk drawers.

New Countertops

A new kitchen remodel means new countertop. New countertops can instantly brighten up a space. At Kitchen Concepts, we have a variety of materials to choose from - granite, quartz, soapstone and laminate - you can choose the style and color that best suits your personal preference. 

Even if you are not ready to commit to a full-blow kitchen remodel, we can still replace your countertops. A new countertop will make your kitchen feel like new.

Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Let's Talk About Dark Colored Kitchens!

When it comes to the world of kitchen design, white has dominated over the past decade. And it makes sense why. White reflects light and opens up a room whereas black absorbs light and can make a room appear smaller. 

But people are no longer afraid of the dark!

It's all too easy to shy away from black kitchens, but a dark space can work so well in all types of home settings. When used successfully with the right balance of light, black actually brings crisp elegance and sophistication.
 

While white has plenty of advantages of its own, black adds such a sultry, lavish feel to the kitchen you just can’t emulate with white. It is as neutral as white, yet also rich and bold at the same time. 

It is such a surprise to see in the kitchen yet will magically cover up messes white just simply cannot do. You can pair it with any metal, finish, and material imaginable and it will still look formal and fantastic. 

Below are a few tips if you are deciding on a dark colored kitchen remodel. 

All About Balance
The key with black is finding the right balance for your unique space and style. The appeal of black in the kitchen is how striking it looks against white, and vice versa. If you like this look, a tuxedo kitchen may be for you.

Pick The Right Shade

Picking the perfect shade of black in your kitchen can be tricky. Just like there are over 50 shades of grey, there are a ton of shades of black to choose from. As you can see from one of our granite vendors, IGM, just in the color "Absolute Black" you can see the variations they have. Come on by to our showroom in Hadley, MA to view our countertop samples. We have black countertops in granite, quartz and soapstone! Our samples are best view in person!

                       

Mix & Match Materials

If you’re set on creating an all-black kitchen, use various materials to create texture and depth to make it visually interesting. Opt for black cabinets, black marble countertops - even a black tile backsplash.

Choose The Perfect Finish

With deep, rich colors like black, the type of finish you choose will make a bigger impact on the atmosphere of your kitchen than it would in a white kitchen. Do you prefer a matte or a shiny finish? The key here is to match your finish to other elements in your kitchen.

At Kitchen Concepts, our professional experts are ready to help you create the kitchen of your dreams and explore your kitchen's potential.

Reasons To Remodel Your Kitchen With Kitchen Concepts!

The most essential room in your house is your kitchen! It’s where you start the day, spend time with family, and cook those delicious meals for your friends. However, with regular wear and tear, it doesn’t take long for your kitchen to start looking worn and dated.  As they deal with the accumulation of grease, oil, and other issues. These issues are hard to repair. Remodeling your kitchen is an excellent way to breathe new life into your home.

Upgrading your kitchen is a project that not only improves your quality of living but also adds significant value to your home. The benefits of kitchen remodeling are numerous and give your house a new and improved appearance. Here are reasons to consider a kitchen remodel.

Better functionality 

One of the most significant benefits of kitchen remodeling is that it can improve the functionality of the room. As your family expands, or your demands change, then your existing kitchen may no longer meet your needs. 

Older kitchens can feel cramped compared to modern kitchens with open floor plans. Kitchen remodeling gives you the freedom to make various changes to the layout. A great room that combines the kitchen with the dining room and the living room makes socializing easy. A spacious kitchen with fewer walls also gives the person who’s cooking or cleaning the ability to watch television or converse with people in other rooms.

Reduce your energy bills 

Investing in a kitchen remodel can help you save money and reduce your environmental impact. Most new appliances, especially refrigerators and dishwashers, are far more energy-efficient than their older counterparts. Replacing outdated models with new equipment can reduce your electrical and water usage and lead to lower utility bills. 

Increase the value of your home 

Some homeowners remodel their kitchen when they are looking to also increase the value of their homes. A modern and professionally installed new kitchen can significantly increase the overall value of their property. 

As it is one of the most popular rooms in the entire home, potential buyers are often put off from a property if it features an outdated or basic kitchen. Giving your kitchen a makeover can help you attract more buyers and maximize your profit. 

Customization

There are countless options for a kitchen renovation. You could choose to update the colors and décor with new cabinets and countertops. Upgrading your appliances to professional-grade models and redoing the floors can make the kitchen feel entirely new. Another option is to change the layout of your kitchen or add an island or breakfast nook. With all the options for layout, appliances, colors, materials, and finishes, you can create a completely customized space that fits your lifestyle perfectly.

Remodeling gives you the chance to make energy-efficient and cost-effective changes in your kitchen. So if you are tired of the look of your kitchen and want it to look more welcoming for everyone then get it remodeled today so you can start cooking and enjoying meals with your family in a beautifully designed modern kitchen.

At Kitchen Concepts, our professional experts are ready to help you create the kitchen of your dreams and explore your kitchen's potential.

It's all about U....U-shaped Kitchens!

Kitchens have to be efficient workspaces as well as being a place in your home where you can entertain and have conversations.  Your U-shaped kitchen should be all about YOU, designed specifically around how your household uses the kitchen daily. 

Because u-shaped kitchens have three connected walls, they also tend to have plenty of counter space. U-shaped kitchen's provide more space place for people to operate in the kitchen at the same time. It’s great for big families or someone who loves to entertain. 

The layout also helps to keep people out of the way, especially when cooking. This means there are lots of available work areas and, as long as the kitchen isn’t too narrow, it easily accommodates multiple people in the kitchen. This helps make getting the family ready and out the door in the mornings easier as well as meal prep in general.

A U-shaped kitchen layout is an excellent option for larger kitchen spaces. This home interior design consists of different cabinets on three walls. One of the main advantages of a U-shaped kitchen is a lot of storage. Apart from plenty of storage you also get a lot of space to fit in appliances too.

The U-shape design is often seen as a luxurious and functional space. But it doesn’t have to be all big and spacious. It can work in a smaller kitchen as well. Opting for a U-shaped kitchen layout is effective in making a small space seem larger and lighter, while making the most of storage and work surface opportunities. 

Depending on the size of the kitchen, it may even be possible to add an island, bar, or seating to a U-shaped layout to create a gathering point.

 It’s convenient and adds extra countertop and cabinet storage space. In addition, incorporating an island in your U-shaped design makes for a more social atmosphere. There's plenty of room for people to hang out, help cook, or sit and drink wine. You can even add a peninsula if there isn’t enough room for an island. Either way, you’ve got some extra options for a more communal gathering place.

Since U-shaped kitchens are inherently functional, continue with that theme by designing a kitchen that is accessible for long-term living. 

For example, putting the oven at the end of the cabinets, rather than the middle, makes it easy for those in a wheelchair to access the oven's interior. At Kitchen Concepts, our design team can customize the height of your countertop and install cabinet hardware that is easy to grip.  All these additions will make your kitchen more livable—regardless of current health or abilities.

Your home is designed for living. Anyone at any age or mobility level should be able to live efficiently and comfortably in their living spaces. 

That's why our professional, skilled team at Kitchen Concepts does so much more than create beautiful spaces. We get to know our clients and make sure their design caters to their needs. 

Our expert team has decades of experience sourcing the finest products on the market to design your kitchen and bathroom specifically tailoring to your aesthetic, lifestyle, design goals and needs.

At Kitchen Concepts, our professional experts are ready to help you create the kitchen of your dreams and explore your kitchen's potential.
