In the U.S., a 2018 study showed that 58% of people indicated that they planned to spend money to renovate their homes. That’s more than half of all homeowners that are planning to renovate at least one room in their home. 

Black kitchen countertops. Open Shelves and Glass front cabinets. Darker Paint tones. According to a recently released trend report, Zillow sees these 3 kitchen design trends taking off in 2014.

While it’s fairly obvious that kitchen design needs to include space for all things cooking, it is not always so obvious that the kitchen is not JUST for cooking. What else goes on in there?

Great experiences come down to details, and nothing requires more detail than molding. Lengths, angles, cuts and joints can make or break the finished look of any cabinet molding. A Frederick, MD kitchen remodeling client came to our Frederick, MD kitchen showroom looking to add cabinet molding to his existing kitchen.

Don’t be fooled by the room size! Bathroom remodeling is a tricky endeavor that must be approached with the same great detail and care you would towards any remodeling project. Here are a few things we have learned from our own bathroom remodeling work that we can pass along to help:

An important and simple thing to consider while designing your kitchen floor plan is….how many cooks do you have? Just me! Just me!

A green bathroom is more than just being an eco-friendly space. It is the color many people are choosing to paint their bathrooms in. The rise in use of green color palettes has been growing rapidly according to studies done by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA).

When it comes to using in tile in your bathrom, consider mixing tile sizes and looks. Large tiles tend to make a bathroom or shower appear longer. Smaller tiles provide detail and in some cases a focal point for your bathroom space.

We all get caught up in it….the emotional rollercoaster of highs (all new stuff!) and lows (it will cost how much?) when planning a kitchen remodel. But taking time to consider all the options and costs is one of the most important things you can do before finalizing a new kitchen design.

Easy to clean, light reflective and stain resistant, Ceramic Subway Tile may just be the hardest working tile in the world. Whether as the wall covering for subways…or as a kitchen or bathroom backsplash, these ceramic tiles bring style and sanitary together in a near endless assortment of wall covering and backsplash ideas for kitchens, bathrooms ...
