Kitchen Cabinetry Will Conceal Nearly Everything Advertisement

Kitchen cabinetry will conceal nearly everything Advertisement"I think more and more, especially in small homes and condos, people are opting for as clean a look as possible - fridges with fronts to match their cabinetry, garbage/recycling/compost stations concealed in a pull-out cabinet. Economy of space also applies to our eyes; especially in a small space, it helps to make everything as seamless as possible. Lisa Canning "For 2011, there'll be hidden equipment and appliances. Everything is in drawers: fridge drawers, dishwasher drawers and microwave drawers. " Céline Pitre, Céline Interiors, Vancouver "Microwave drawers – they hide microwaves and free up counter space. " Sizeland Evans Interior Design "Using pantries and drawers for storage and forgoing the uppers will allow a small kitchen to feel airy and open while still maximizing storage. " Amy Kent and Ryan Martin Sleeker and more streamlined "Kitchens will be more contemporary – with a cleaner vocabulary. For example, less visible hardware - all doors looking like panelling. " Céline Pitre "Integrated appliances, meaning appliances built into the cabinetry of your kitchen will continue to be popular. Also, look for shallow-depth fridges – fridges now flush with counters resulting in cleaner lines in the kitchen. " Sizeland Evans Interior Design A move toward better organization "Organized cabinet interiors will be important. IKEA is following the lead of high-end kitchen manufacturers like Boffi and Poliform by offering drawer and cabinet inserts to organize everything from bowls to spatulas. There should be a place for everything. Keeping your countertops clear of appliances lets them be a display for a unique sculptural piece or to lean a work of art. " Amy Kent and Martin Ryan Natural materials will be all the rage in the kitchen "Let your backsplash be the art. Beautiful natural stone veining or texture may be all the focal point your kitchen needs. Full-height stone backsplashes lets a dramatic appliance like a sleek hood fan take centre stage. " Amy Kent and Ryan Martin "Martha Stewart for Home Depot also has horizontal wood grain cabinets. The trend toward the unfinished wood look is still going strong. This cabinet is called the Weston and it's in a soft gray, called Persian Gray. " Samantha Pynn How can you make your kitchen stand out in 2011? "A built-in cappuccino machine. " Céline Pitre "Coming on strong from 2010's top picks list is poured glass countertops. Countertops have new additions created by LED lights and decorative interlayers. And matte black sinks and faucets" Sizeland Evans Interior Design Fast and slow cooking "'Speed ovens' or 'convenience ovens' are being added to kitchens in addition to conventional ovens. " Sizeland Evans Interior Design "Cooking 'en famille' – with friends – will be important. It'll be a shared experience. " Céline Pitre Source: styleathome.com
