Functional Aesthetics
Our team knows that when it comes to kitchen remodeling, functional aesthetics are attractive. This basically means that your static design features should be functional too instead of simply being there for show. See that empty space overhanging space above your sink where you put your knick-knacks? Turn it into a functional, open shelf area for your glass and plates!
Functional aesthetics also means you’re maximizing your kitchen space. Get rid of unnecessary fixtures that don’t really contribute to your kitchen’s operation. Simplicity is better, and in 2017, it’s trendy.

Bold Fixtures Are a Must
Whether your home’s a traditional or a modern one, we recommend bold fixtures for your kitchen’s interior design. Think bold counters and light fixtures. It adds depth to an otherwise featureless expanse and wide kitchen and could bring the overall design together. We recommend bold colors too for your general fixtures and kitchen accessories.
Gray: The New White?
Your basic white kitchens spaces are a thing of the past. This year, gray is the new white. Consider painting your kitchen cabinets a soft tone of gray. It adds some depth to your room and actually makes them stand out, allowing them to serve as a pseudo-static decoration that’s also functional.
We suggest two-toning your kitchen, too, since darker colored kitchens are a trending thing this year. Basically, your kitchen should have two tones, one light and one dark that serve as contrasts. If you’re going for gray blocked palette, black and darker shades of brown and green work very well.
