Why Use White Cabinets in a Traditional Kitchen?

September 6, 2021

Many interior design trends come and go. Design styles, especially those used for homes, have changed drastically over the decades. But while sleek contemporary styles and bold colors are more and more common these days, there’s just something irresistible about traditional kitchens.

What most usually associate with the traditional style are natural wood cabinetry. The phrase “traditional kitchen” makes us think of warm rustic interiors, wooden beams, intricate millwork and a tinge of old-world atmosphere. However, dark wood tones and grainy textures are not for everyone. If you’re one such person, maybe a white traditional kitchen is a better fit for your home.

What is a Realistic Kitchen Remodel Timeline?

August 20, 2021

Most of our clients and homeowners usually have a target date of completion in mind when thinking of remodeling their kitchen. Sometimes it’s a big event such as an anniversary or a graduation. Often times, homeowners want their new kitchen to be done in time for the winter holidays. What most people don’t know, however, is when they should start their kitchen remodel.

When clients come to us, they can simply tell us what their target completion day is. We can then tell them how early they need to start so we can comfortably finish within schedule. However, if you haven’t started working with a kitchen designer or contractor yet, it helps to have an idea of the luxury kitchen remodel timeline.

How to Add Color to Your Interiors with the 60-30-10 Rule

August 6, 2021

We all know and have been told that color is a way we can add personality to our rooms. It’s a way for us to express our individuality and our own unique sense of style. But the thing is, color is difficult to get right –especially if we want to use more than one!

We see all these beautiful interiors on Pinterest and Instagram, and wish it for our own spaces. However, we often don’t know why these combinations of shades and hues work. Unless you’re an interior designer, working with multiple colors in a room can be intimidating. Even more so if you want to incorporate loud, bright, and bold tones. Many end up defaulting to “easier” and “safer” interior color scheme such as sticking to neutral shades, or just using white with one other color.

It doesn’t have to be this way forever. Today, we’re going to let you in on a nice handy rule you can use to create a well-balanced color scheme for your room and interior spaces: the 60-30-10 Rule.
