GRAY IS THE NEW WHITE


Since1979


Black-and-White Kitchens Are Timeless

The look may change as styles evolve, but the appeal of a black-and-white kitchen never dies.

It’s all about high contrast — this design juxta-poses white wood cabinets with an ebony black island.

Almost any color stone countertops will en-rich the final results, but it also benefits from the tension between country and modern. Warm rustic hardwood floors are an effective counterpoint to sleek cabinet materials.

BLACK & WHITE PALETTE



Since1979


Neutrals Are All the Rage

“Keeping a kitchen to a neutral palette allows you to personalize it to reflect your style,”

“This kitchen in off-whites and beiges can be matched to be on trend with any wall or decor colors. The white and off-white palette is clean and sophisticated. Especially when the new kitchen is replacing dated oak or walnut cabi-nets. It’s a welcome change and even enlarges the room visually.

Accessorize to your hearts content. The real treat in this traditional kitchen is the rustic subway backsplash.

TRANSITIONAL STYLE

The ‘Mutt’ of Kitchen Style

“Keeping a kitchen neutral in terms of style real-ly isn’t that difficult. Simply choose any style that speaks to you and use it. The color palette can run the gamut too.

Years ago, you were not to use ‘traditional styled’ elements with ‘contemporary style’ and vise-ver-sa. Today, anything goes. Straight lines, curved arches, black, white, earth-tones, etc.

The results are a bold and beautiful kitchen that’s as eclectic and unique as you are.

TRADITIONAL STYLING

Marry the Kitchen to Your Home’s Style

Gone are the days when kitchens were just kitchens — now they’re so pretty they could be any room of the house, says designer Jo Ann Alston.

Here we have a custom hutch for an unexpect-ed traditional look that combines the same door style of the kitchen but a different finish to give the look of having been acquired over time rather than purchased all at once.

The mixed green and cherry tones are typical of European traditional styling and the coun-tertops complement the rest of the kitchen’s decor, offering a rich, yet cozy look that never strays far from furniture quality.

Cambria® & Zodiaq®

Countertops

Along with natural stone, quartz countertops continue to be tops. Cambria is very popular and Zodiaq recently introduced a line of six neutral colors to its durable quartz counter-tops palette.

Shown is the grayish-beige “Linen,” whose subtle color gradation lends itself well to sleek contemporary designs. Both are nonporous and are resistant to heat, quartz countertops are also resistant to spills and scratches, making them a smart choice for families or busy cooks.

QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS



Since1979


COUNTERTOP VARIETY

Mixing Countertop Colors

If you’re in the market for a fashion-forward countertop, granite or quartz are your only choices. This kitchen combines the warmth of two popular granite colors, that compliment each other and are the best of both color pal-ettes.

When considering mixing countertop colors, or even materials, make sure they a) both com-plement the cabinetry and b) complement each other. Expanding your palette colors is done all the time, just make sure the colors are repeated some where else in the overall design.

Colors shown: Galaxy Black on the wall coun-tertops & New Venetian Gold on the island.



Since1979


SOLID SURFACES

Easy Maintenance Corian®

Solid-surface countertops bring imagination and low maintenance to the kitchen. More than 40 years ago, DuPont discovered an advanced meth-od for blending natural minerals with pure acryl-ic resin to create an ideal surface for living.

Warm and smooth to the touch, this solid sur-face has been unmatched in quality and versatili-ty ever since.

Now available in over 140 colors including Co-rian’s Private Collection series that looks like honed stone. The color and pattern is consistent throughout, and cannot wear away.

Integrates seamlessly with a Corian® sink.

MAXIMIZE STORAGE

A Place for Everything...

Kitchen storage is always an issue, especial-ly for apartment dwellers or any homeowner whose kitchen is short on space. To remedy this, kitchen storage manufacturers are dou-bling up storage in new ways. Creating custom kitchens with clever multi-tiered drawers and roll outs.

The trick is to create easy assess to what you own and decide how you will store it for con-venient access later. Carefully consider this challenge because poorly organized spaces often become daily irritations, impeding the pleasure of being at home.

Kitchen’s top the list of custom storage solu-tions, designed to fit the items that the space will hold. Pot drawers, tray dividers and spice or trash roll outs.

BACKSPLASHES

Take it to the Ceiling

Continuous tile, glass, stone, solid surface and porcelain are all showing larger wall coverage and going all the way up!

Ask any kitchen designer about the future of backsplashes, and the response will be “cover the whole wall.”

Not too long ago, the countertop material continued only 4” vertically, up the wall. Then began the tile or painted portion and that only went under the cabinets.

Now, it’s all about high-end materials and high places. Overlayed stones on the entire main walls of the kitchen cabinets is really a sophis-ticated look and can be done in any size and styled kitchen.
