Open kitchens are trending in both new construction and remodeling. The kitchen area now seamlessly integrates with living spaces making kitchen cabinets a focal point in home design. Open floor plans are especially popular with young families as it makes television time, homework, and other activities easier to monitor, especially during meal prep. As a result, many interior designers agree that investing in quality, attractive kitchen cabinets will help both new construction and remodeled homes increase in value.
Recent kitchen design trends are also breaking away from the traditional two-tiered kitchen islands with raised back barstools that separate the kitchen from living room and dining room areas. Countertop height islands with no-back bar stools or low-back bar stools that slide under the kitchen island are gaining in popularity. Families with babies can even slide a high chair up to the island. This way, the open-plan effect creates a more relaxed and laid-back vibe to the kitchen. Especially with a cool tone and a few neon lights for added classiness and fun! This makes any visitor immediately feel at ease, as a breakfast bar is usually a casual way to eat or snack or chat, rather than the traditional dining table which has an air of formality about it.
These latest trends have prompted custom homebuilders to feature more detailed, higher-end kitchen cabinets in their design centers. They appreciate cabinet suppliers that understand how kitchen cabinets have become the focal point in open floor plan designs. Choosing a higher-end manufacturer such as KraftMaid Vantage or Bertch for your kitchen cabinets is important because the cabinets are the foundation to which everything else is decided upon (i.e. countertops, LED lighting, designer cabinet hardware, etc.). It is equally important to work with a qualified company that has experience with these products.
