Kitchens

Of all the improvements that get made to homes, kitchen and bathroom upgrades are the most popular and most in demand. Both rooms represent a high percentage of our properties’ overall value, not only that, they are the rooms that require the most expenditure when it comes to specialist fitments. In addition kitchens and bathrooms are communal areas of the home – they play an important role in being shared by family members and guests and friends – and in the case of the kitchen – it’s often thought to be the very heart of the home.

Each and every one of us will have our own idea of what the ideal kitchen would be. It’s popular these days to extend our kitchens into areas where we can cook, socialize and relax. In fact the kitchen, when the addition allows for sofas, etc. to be included becomes like a more food-orientated version of a great family room. Couples with young family particularly favor this sort of kitchen addition where family meals can e prepared whilst the children can play happily and safely under mom and dad’s supervision.






Even if you only have an inkling of how you’d like to add to your kitchen, feel free to consult with us and discuss the many possibilities. Here are some ideas to think about in the early stages of planning the perfect kitchen addition or remodeling project.

• Think in terms of a kitchen canopy.
• Even open plan kitchens need defining - it's important to keep the kitchen area from spilling over visually into other rooms.
• Use islands and peninsulas below to give you work areas and surfaces, and dropped soffit boards and shallow ceiling-mounted cabinets on the upper levels to give you storage and subtle visual definition.
• Coffered or pitched ceilings can also distinguish the kitchen area from neighboring rooms.
• A high ceiling in the kitchen can give the perception of spaciousness. In contrast a low ceiling in the dining area creates a sense of intimacy.
• Resist the impulse to use too many cabinets. Instead, you might consider a storage-intensive walk-in pantry and keep in mind the option of storing those rarely used goods and items that we all have in your mudroom, garage, or basement or utility room.
