You could even turn it into the perfect man cave!

Basement Cabinets

Basements are the ideal place to add entertaining/game rooms, exercise rooms, playrooms, media rooms, or extra guest rooms. For example, adding an entertainment center in your basement makes it a room for everyone to enjoy, so why not make it beautiful. Custom-built pieces for televisions, stereo systems and video equipment are turning ordinary rooms into ones that resemble concert halls, movie theaters and video arcades – all in one!

Custom Bookshelves, Custom Bookcases and Custom Home Libraries

If reading is also a part of your family’s lives, bookshelves in the study room are another dramatic and functional design addition that can be created with cabinetry. This is a great way to add personality to a room. It adds valuable storage without taking up a lot of room, plus it’s a great way to display family photos and personal treasures.

The Kitchen Island

Continued from Part 1

Large kitchens are now pretty much the norm, so one kitchen trend you won’t find many kitchens without in 2013 is a kitchen island if they have a large enough area to pull one off. Island not only provides great storage features, it can add extra seating and serving space. Islands are being used to separate the kitchen from the family living areas while keeps the space open and airy. An island can also added more countertop space that soon becomes a functioning work area.

The Walk-In Pantry

Another popular kitchen trend that continues to gain in popularity in 2013, is the addition of a Walk-In Pantry. It serves a purpose in addition to storage and looking great. Why? First, this type of enclosed open storage allows the homeowners to create a place to store the items important to them and to be able to find everything.

The more complex the design becomes, the more personality and style you will be adding to your kitchen. Architectural features like Custom Archways can be incorporated into the kitchen for a truly unique and elegant look. Then you can start thinking about accessories, hardware, and the topping on the cake…countertops!

Home Office Computer Station

In 2013, the home office/computer center continues to grow in popularity. According to Forbes Magazine, 80% of potential home buyers are looking for a home with a home office, or with extra space that can be converted into one. Working from home is the way of the future. More people than ever are taking advantage of work-from-home opportunities in order to spend more time with family, save money on commuting or just because they want more freedom.

The Perfect Mudroom

Mudrooms will increase in popularity in 2013.  Mudrooms serve as a transition area between the outdoors and indoors, designed to keep your home clear of mud, debris, and clutter. Mudrooms can be small or large, and can sometimes do double duty as crafts room or sewing room.  It really becomes a command post for many activities. It can even come to the rescue as a utility room; another one of the new emerging spaces in the American home. Whatever your name for it, this space is essential for every homeowner. The spaces will help organize the way today’s modern family lives.

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing… Not Replacing Is In!

Is your kitchen begging for an update?  Do you want a fresh look for your kitchen cabinets, but don’t want to go through the hassle of actually replacing them?  Or maybe you love your kitchen but hate the cabinets? Don’t Replace, Reface It!

For folks that are watching how they spend their money, refacing cabinets , there’s good news… refacing cabinets – not replacing – is in! Refacing is the process of just changing cabinet doors while maintaining the original cabinet structure, so it’s a much less expensive option.

More Bang For The Buck!

A good cabinet is a terrible thing to waste. Perhaps your old kitchen cabinets are well-made and still sturdy, but cosmetically worn, torn and shabby. Maybe you have an older home with a charming kitchen full of cabinet fronts and hardware that have seen better days. Rather than plan a total replacement of cabinets, think about having those cabinets refaced at half the cost in material and labor. Yep… cabinet refacing can save you approximately 30% to 50% compared to custom cabinets.

This is a great option for busy families that don’t want to be interrupted with a major kitchen remodel. Plus, the extra savings can be used towards your countertop or other options such as pull out trays, glass doors or drawer inserts that will make your kitchen space more functional.

Maybe you can even spend the rest of your budget on the bathroom vanity you’ve always wanted!

Get the perfect cabinets for your home, lifestyle and budget today!

People have different reasons for wanting to remodel their kitchens, but for the most part, today’s homeowners simply want MORE — more space, more storage, more cabinets, and more counter space.  Since your cabinets and countertops play a starring role in your kitchen design, helping set the style and tone for the heart of your home, they are a good place to start.

Stock vs Custom Cabinets

Because cabinets can consume a substantial amount (up to 40%) of your remodeling budget, you’re afraid of making a bad decision — and who wouldn’t be?  The kitchen is called on to fill more roles than any other room in the house, it is critical that cabinetry be able to perform consistently over time and resist wear for many years. Cabinetry also represents the most permanent piece of the kitchen puzzle. So, it pays to carefully consider the selection of cabinetry before you purchase.

Having a wide selection of door styles, finishes and wood species from which to choose is great, of course. However, the quality is of the utmost importance to guarantee a lasting investment.

Quality Custom Kitchen Cabinetry

Custom cabinets are cabinets specially made to meet the space and design specifications of your kitchen. While they do cost more than stock or semi-stock cabinets, they are well worth the extra money. Because they are manufactured by experienced cabinetry craftsmen using superior methods and materials, they look better and hold up longer than other cabinetry options.

You do get what you pay for and purchasing low end cabinetry can be a gamble. Remember, your kitchen is the heart of your home!  The trick is finding “that sweet spot” between personal tastes, good value, style and good quality.

DIY OR Hire A Professional

There is a lot to consider and many choices to be made so it’s also important to get advice from a professional right from the get-go.

Kitchen Remodel With Custom Countertops

The cost is certainly more than stock cabinetry, but in the end you’ll be glad you chose to pay a little bit extra for your custom kitchen cabinets. Ask yourself whether you’re willing to sacrifice quality in order to save a few bucks.

This is a great way to add personality to a room. It adds valuable storage without taking up a lot of room, plus it’s a great way to display family photos and personal treasures.

Once you have selected the wood, style and finish, make it uniquely yours with decorative accents, panels and moldings. Then you can start thinking about accessories, hardware, and the topping on the cake…countertops!

So you’re thinking about remodeling your kitchen. You’re definitely not alone. Without a doubt, the kitchen is the kingpin for consumer home remodels. It consumes more attention, energy, finances and complex decision-making than any other project, short of building an entirely new house.

There’s good reason for this… Now more than ever, homeowners are realizing that the kitchen is truly the hub of the home.  Not only do people spend a good portion of their day in the kitchen, but whether the occasion is a pizza party for the soccer team or friends for cocktails, the kitchen remains the go-to-gathering spot. It is the one room that seems to be where friends and family members can come together. Everyone always ends up in the kitchen!

Maybe your kitchen lacks adequate storage space, needs more light, or is just too small. Or maybe that green and purple tile makes you cringe on every trip to the fridge?  Or the 1970’s orange counter and olive green appliances are too ugly and out of date.

Whatever your reason, one of the most dramatic ways to give your kitchen a new look is to focus first on the kitchen cabinetry.  No single item in a new kitchen costs as much as cabinetry or contributes as much to the overall look. An article from Better Homes and Garden (www.bhg.com) confirmed that “In the average kitchen remodeling, cabinets generally comprise 40% of the budget”.   With so much being invested into your kitchen cabinets there is much to consider.

Our advice… take the time now to think through your design. Your kitchen has to be equal parts function and beauty because, after all, your kitchen will be lived in. The ultimate goal in a great kitchen design is to make sure that it meets your lifestyle needs; it is pleasant, efficient, and physically comfortable to work in.

If a kitchen doesn’t function efficiently and effectively, it doesn’t matter how fabulous it looks. Spending a little extra time in the planning stage can reduce the headaches and heartaches of a kitchen remodeling project that does not meet expectations.

Talk To A Minnesota Cabinet Maker & Installer

Is your kitchen begging for an update and you’re not sure what you want or even where to begin?  Don’t panic!  Before the first sketch is drawn or check written, the most important step in good kitchen planning is visit a local Custom Cabinet Shop. Because kitchen cabinets are a major investment, they’re not something you are going to want to do over because the first design was not quite right. The amount of time and money you put into designing your kitchen today will be money well spent !

While they do charge for their services, their experience and insight can more than compensate for costly errors due to inexperience or misinformation. They may notice details you might forget, or anticipate expensive structural changes that you might overlook.

Take the time to do a little research beforehand. Just because a certain company has the biggest or glossiest advertisement in the Yellow Pages does not mean that they are the best. Referrals from friends and family can be very helpful. Many custom cabinet builders also have a vast amount of photos of the cabinets they have built.  Looking at those photos may stimulate an idea or two.

When you finally get your quality custom cabinetry, they will be built exactly to your specifications for measurement, design, shape, hardware and wood choice.  Then you can start thinking about accessories and the topping on the cake…countertops!

You’re going to love how your kitchen looks when you have the best cabinets around!

You’ve heard it said… the kitchen is the hub of your home. The kitchen remains the go-to-gathering spot of the house, and probably always will be one of the most important rooms of the house. It is the one room that seems to be where your friends and family members can come together.

Whether the occasion is a pizza party for the soccer team or friends for cocktails, guests tend to gather in the kitchen.

That’s one reason why many people are realizing that proper utilization of space and storage can make all the difference.  So why not update your kitchen to make it function at the height of its ability?  Why not add a kitchen island?

Custom Kitchen Island

Islands have become the norm in new kitchens for good reason. They’re multi-taskers, capable of storing pots and pans, concealing appliances, serving as an anchor of the work triangle and taking the place of the kitchen table.

2013 kitchen design trends away from dining rooms and towards eating, drinking, and interacting in the kitchen itself, and a large kitchen island is the perfect way to make this happen.

Especially useful in kitchens with open floor plans, islands can open up a dialogue between the kitchen and the living room, the cook and the guests.

Kitchen Island Can Provide Additional Seating

The Kitchen Island is not a new concept.  Though earlier it was used as just a work table, where all the cooking activities were carried out, now the kitchen island has become the social magnet.

If you are looking for space for cookbooks and children’s homework, consider bookcases located on either end–they are a great way to use an under utilized area.  If you are a wine connoisseur, a wine rack in the same location might tidy up your space. Casual eating areas at the island for just hanging out is also popular with trends supporting a more informal lifestyle.

The kitchen — unlike most other rooms in the home — is a workplace. The job of preparing, serving and cleaning up after meals gets done there. Making that environment fit you is a most critical factor in your satisfaction with your kitchen. If your kitchen does not fit your physical characteristics and your work habits, it doesn’t matter how fabulous it is, it may seem awkward and dysfunctional. It will not be comfortable, and you won’t be happy with it.

How can you give your hum-drum kitchen the wow factor?

The main working functions in a home kitchen are carried out between the cook top, the sink and the refrigerator. These three points and the imaginary lines between them, make up what kitchen experts call the “work triangle”. The idea is that when these three elements are in close (but not too close) proximity to one other, the kitchen will run efficiently.

There are exceptions to this rule: in single wall kitchens, it’s geometrically impossible to achieve a true triangle—but efficiency can still be achieved through the configuration of the three items, and how far apart they are.

From Triangle To Zones

Kitchen in 1937

The work triangle has inspired kitchen design since the 1940s to address the efficiency of the kitchen space between the major work centers: Cooking (range), Preparation (sink/dishwasher) and Food Storage (refrigerator). It was designed to maximize the efficiency of a one-cook kitchen that stemmed from principles that had to do with time-motion studies from around the turn of the century. The University of Illinois School of Architecture developed the work triangle to emphasize cost reduction by standardizing construction. This resulted in a variety of configurations.

The kitchen work triangle principle is used by kitchen designers when designing residential kitchens:

• No leg of the triangle should be less than 4 feet (1.2 m) or more than 9 feet (2.7 m).
• The sum of all three sides of the triangle should be between 13 feet (4.0 m) and 26 feet (7.9 m).
• Cabinets or other obstacles should not intersect any leg of the triangle by more than 12 inches (30 cm).
• If possible, there should be no major traffic flow through the triangle.
• A full-height obstacle, such as a tall cabinet, should not come between any two points of the triangle.

Besides the work triangle itself, there are several rules of thumb to consider when planning a kitchen:

• As measured between countertops and cabinets or appliances, work aisles should be no less than 42 inches (110 cm) for one cook, or 48 inches (120 cm) for multiple cooks.
• A sink should have a clear counter area of at least 24 inches (61 cm) on one side, and at least 18 inches (46 cm) on the other side.
• A refrigerator should have a clear counter area of at least 15 inches (38 cm) on the handle side; or the same on either side of a side-by-side refrigerator; or the same area on a counter no more than 48 inches (120 cm) across from the refrigerator.
• A stove or cooktop should have a clear 15 inches (38 cm) area on one side, and at least 12 inches (30 cm) on the other side.
• At least 36 inches (91 cm) of food preparation area should be located next to the sink.
• In a seating area where no traffic passes behind the diner, allow 32 inches (81 cm) from the wall to the edge of the table or counter; if traffic passes behind the diner, allow 44 inches (110 cm) inches.

Kitchen Zones

Work zones just take the work triangle one step further!

Is your kitchen begging for an update?

Quite a few things have changed since the 1940s, when the concept originated. After the Second World War there was a housing shortage and the race was on for affordable housing. One person cooked, cleaned, ironed, and served the family meals. Smaller kitchen appliances were relatively rare and kitchen sizes were generally smaller than today. The kitchen was considered a working area, and planning considered mostly utilitarian angles.

The original functions described with the kitchen triangle still exist within the modern-day kitchen. However, technologies (like microwaves and other appliances) and the way kitchens fit into the modern (Western) lifestyle have changed. Many kitchens have grown to accommodate more than one cook, so cooking zones were developed that are similar to the layout and zoning of commercial kitchens. With the housing boom and the expanding wealth of the Baby Boomers, the size of kitchens in the United States has expanded.

This allows for commercial style appliances, and zones for various functions that were outside of the traditional triangle, such as prep stations that might include another smaller sink, and bake centers that had areas specifically for rolling out dough and baking that were separate from the main cooking appliances and food prep areas. These additional zones might overlap in terms of sharing components and create secondary triangles.

In the early ’90s, the National Kitchen and Bath Association introduced the multiple rectangle concept – the idea being where the microwave or separate ovens were considered a fourth or fifth element, taking into account families who didn’t always eat together and the assumption that there might be multiple cooks. It never caught on – partly because of insufficient PR and partly due to too much flexibility in deciding what the four corners of the rectangle actually were.

The Basics of Kitchen Zones - There are usually four zones present: food preparation, baking, cleaning, and cooking.

A later concept is that of kitchen zones. In this layout, the proportions of the triangle are no more an ergonomic requirement. There are usually four zones present: food preparation, baking, cooking, and cleaning.

No matter what shape your kitchen’s in—whether your floor plan is straight, U-shaped, L-shaped, or otherwise—chances are there is a triangle at its heart. And if there’s not, there should be.  You can dramatically improve your kitchen’s efficiency, save time, energy and miles of extra steps.

Common kitchen layouts

In most cases, it’s the shape and size of your room that decides what kitchen layout you ultimately will choose. However, some kitchen layouts may suit your needs and living situation better than others.

Here are five common kitchen layouts and their main characteristics. They also illustrate how to ideally plan your working zones.

Single-line kitchen

Single-line kitchen - Where space is scarce, a single-line kitchen in which the working triangle is reduced to a straight line, can be the most practical solution. It’s also pleasing to look at.

Single-line with island

Single-line with island - This single-line kitchen includes an island. An island provides plenty of storage as well as extra work surfaces, but it requires at least 50” of free space around to work well.

L-shaped kitchen

L-shaped kitchen - The L-shaped kitchen is ideal when you want to add a small dining table or kitchen island. It’s also a good way to make the most out of a corner, as well as integrating the kitchen into a dining area.

U-shaped kitchen

U-shaped kitchen - If you have a large room the U-shaped layout is ideal. It gives you maximum space and plenty of storage options – ensuring that everything is within easy reach. If the room is very large, it’s important to ensure that the points of the working triangle (see explanation above) are not too far from one another.

Parallel kitchen

While these guidelines are a good place to start, they do not substitute for competent kitchen design advice from a professional. Design encompasses these rules and much more. A new kitchen is a major investment, and not something you are going to want to do over because the first design was not quite right.

Spending a little extra time in the planning stage can reduce the headaches and heartaches of a kitchen remodeling project that does not meet your expectations. Taking your time now will allow you to make wise decisions and it will be money well spent!
