Popular Kitchen Cabinet Trends
Fashionable Selections
In today’s remodeling market there are endless choices when it comes to kitchen selections. One of the major improvements that comes with a kitchen remodel are cabinets. Many trends are available. Before deciding on the cabinets for your kitchen go through all of the cabinet options there are in today’s market. Contact a professional kitchen remodeler, like Alcoa Construction, for all of your kitchen remodeling needs and have them help you pick a style and function that you will come to love for years to come.
One of the most popular trends seen in kitchens today are floor to ceiling cabinets. This allows the kitchen tons of storage and shelving. This in turn is not only aesthetically pleasing but it solves the problem of lack of storage that many kitchens have. Another popular option is display space in the cabinets. Open shelving and door less cabinetry are becoming a favorite choice. This lets the homeowner display china and heirloom accessories. The combination of open faced cabinets and cabinets with doors breaks up the monotony in a kitchen and gives the home a charming affect.
When deciding to remodel your kitchen, efficiency should be one of the top priorities. This includes the efficiency within the cabinetry. Lazy Susans, roll out trays, bread boxes, hide in cabinets, storage pullouts, pull out drawers, attached shelves for pots and pans, recycling holders, garbage bins, racks for canned goods, and much more are all features that are homeowner friendly. They allow for great convenience and help keep the kitchen organized without the struggle of trying to reach items in the back of cabinets. Decide what your main wants and needs are and add efficient extras into your cabinetry during the kitchen remodel.
Another homeowner friendly convenience being included in cabinets is to actually add appliances into the cabinets. Blending the appliances into the look of the cabinets gives the kitchen a more uniformed and stylish appeal. By simply adding a cabinet facade panel to appliances, they take on the look of cabinetry instead of utilitarian appliances. Everything from dishwashers, trash compactors, ice makers, refrigerators, freezers, and even microwaves can be disguised. For smaller kitchen appliances like mixers, coffee makers, and toasters have built in doors added directly on the countertop that lift and swing up. This allows you to keep your daily used appliances right on the counter for convenience yet hide them for a clutter free beautiful kitchen.
Cabinetry shouldn’t stop at function. It has become very fashionable to have a good finish on the cabinets. Take the cabinets from mere wood to a work of art. Distressed finishes have gained popularity in the past couple of years. Crackled finishes and finishes that reveal the rough natural wood grain bring depth and richness to a kitchen with style. Another decorative element to keep in mind is color. Cabinetry today comes in a wide range of color choices. Maple is the most popular wood used in the construction of cabinets because it can be easily stained, painted, and altered. With the help of a kitchen remodeling contractor pick through the various techniques out there and create unique custom cabinets for your kitchen.
Non traditional arrangements of the cabinets also bring a decorative element and style to the kitchen. Staggered set ups create eye movement and provide a whimsical atmosphere. Create a height illusion by stair stepping the cabinets. This creates a very pleasing visual effect. Have upper cabinets installed directly on the countertop for more storage and to help better blend the kitchen.
A fun trend that has taken America by storm is installing cabinetry that has the look of furniture. This European influenced idea can include pieces that seem to be free standing but are actually attached cabinetry. Design cabinets that mimic hutches, pie safes, and even buffets. Top moldings assist in helping the theme carry on into an adjacent breakfast room.
For a lively kitchen have cabinetry accent pieces. Try adding bright pops of color to the kitchen through an island or cabinet the emphasizes a fun vibrant color.This livens a kitchen and provides a little excitement to what can often times become a mundane room of the house. An accent colored island is the most favored selection that homeowners today are choosing. Also try adding in different type of woods. This breaks the monotony in the kitchen and allows the homeowner to play with the mixing of woods in the kitchen. Try making the center island a completely different type of wood and add stools to give the island the look of a table versus an island itself.
A final trend that is very popular are embellishments. When home kitchen remodeling remember to include architectural design. Wood valances, under the counter corbels, mullioned doors, fancy feet on islands, commanding pilasters, arched openings, carvings, cut outs, molding, and even cornices all add emphasis to different aspects of the cabinetry. Architecturally designing the cabinetry allows the homeowner to give the kitchen a bold, finished, custom look that really reflects their style and personality.

Custom House Renovation in West Fenwick Delaware
We started with a complete makeover for the exterior. New paint on the shutters and front door, new hardware, window blinds, extra shutters, dentil molding at freeze board, railings on the porch, decorative porch hanging pots, new stone water table around house, new sidewalk along side of house with flower beds, raised mulch beds with trees and landscaping, raised stone flower beds in front of the house and the front of the driveway, extend the driveway by 3 feet. The end result was a transformation from ordinary to Extra-Ordinary!
The extensive interior renovation included removing everything including all carpets, all vinyl flooring, all appliances, and all door hardware. We then added stainless appliances including a double wall oven and gas on glass cooktop. We added hardwood floors in the dining room, study, and upstairs hallway.
We stripped the original stairs and added hardwood stairs with custom runner. With all the flooring removed, we went to work adding custom trim throughout the house including single, double, and triple crown moulding, coffered ceilings, chair rail boxes, chair rail wainscoting boxes, cased all openings, custom cabinet trim under the bar top, and added traditional wainscoting throughout. The next step included complete demolition of the fireplace and installation of a new stone fireplace with bluestone hearth and mantel. Every window received custom 2″ white blinds and window treatments.
Twelve custom colors painted throughout the house added a finished touch. We then added 16×16 ceramic tile on the 45′ angle in the kitchen and morning room. 16×16 ceramic tile was added in the laundry along with a 15 lite glass door into the new exercise room addition. The exercise room addition was an additional 350 sf and featured two cased windows, two ceiling fans, cable TV, wall to wall mirrors, carpet, and full HVAC. We also added double frosted french doors leading into the workshop and two car garage.
The cabinets in the master bath were upgraded, along with the tile, and beadboard wainscoting in the powder rooms. A Sunroom with columns was added to the owners suite. We upgraded the electric throughout the house adding floor outlets, dual switched outlets in each bedroom, and 14 ceiling fans throughout. We finished the bonus room with a deep blue paint, custom trim, a HD surround sound system fitted for both plasma TV and a ceiling mounted projector. We then added a wet bar to complete the experience.

Wood vs. Composite Decks
Wood vs. Composite Decks
What you need to know to choose your decking material

When it comes to selecting the surface material for their outdoor deck, homeowners’ options are better looking, better performing and easier to install.This includes traditional wood decking materials such as pressure-treated pine, redwood, western red cedar, or imported hardwoods; composites made from a blend of reclaimed and recycled materials that typically contain a percentage of wood fiber designed to mimic natural wood without the maintenance; and the newcomer to the market, vinyl — or PVC — decking products that promise a virtually zero-maintenance deck surface but so far have not been able to replicate the beauty of real wood.
All have their pros and cons in terms of appearance and performance that must be considered carefully job-by-job to give customers results that best suit their lifestyle and budget. For this reason, most deck construction specialists work closely with their clients to determine their needs, then specify, design and build what materials best suit the project rather than using a single material.
Natural Wood Decks Natural wood decks continue to be the benchmark for aesthetics. “I’m still a big fan of all wood decks, and my clients still seem to prefer the look of a wood deck,” says Dave Tibbetts, owner of Cumming, Ga.-based Atlanta Decking and Fence. “But the reality is that a wood deck requires a good deal of effort in terms of cleaning and sealing to keep it beautiful year after year.”
Decks constructed using composite materials are more expensive than natural wood decks, adding about 35 percent to the total cost of the project. But the extra investment can be a worthwhile tradeoff for homeowners who are looking to quickly boost the market value of their home. When using vinyl decks, customers can expect to pay 5 percent more than composite prices. “These low- or no-maintenance decks can be a very good value if the owner is planning to be in their home for more than five years,” says Tibbetts, who today builds about 20 percent of his projects using composites.

Nearly 80 percent of clients of deck specialist John Burns, owner of American Deck of Winchester in Winchester, Va., opt for a composite deck. “Our typical composite customer has already had a wood deck in the past, is well aware of the maintenance requirements and does not want to deal with those again,” he says. “They come to us requesting composites because they are ready to make the upgrade.”"Composites have come a long way in the past five years,” continues Burns. “There have been tremendous improvements in terms of their performance and aesthetics.”
Composite materials also bring an added element of design flexibility to a project, says Jim Sasko of Teakwood Builders in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., which really pleases his clients with upscale projects. “You can do some really interesting things like bending the deck around trees much more easily using composites.”
Sasko builds about 90 percent of his deck projects using composite materials and reserves all-wood decks for sheltered, undercover applications such as gazebos, screened porches and three-season rooms.
Installation, presentation challenges
All decks — wood, composite or vinyl — are constructed on a pressure-treated wood foundation, but design and installation techniques vary. Experience is the best teacher.

“There definitely is a learning curve associated with working with composites and vinyls as you make the changeover from building all-wood decks,” says Burns. The most important thing to keep in mind, he says, is in the planning of the deck: “The spans must be designed correctly depending on the surfacing material that you are using.”"Composites require a slightly beefier substructure to handle the spans,” agrees Eric Kent, president of Archadeck of Charlotte. “Composites require 12-inch on center construction as opposed to 16-inch on center for wood.”
Hidden fastening systems, which eliminate the appearance of screws or other hardware on the deck surface are available for both wood and composite decks and becoming more popular and user-friendly these days, says Burk. “Nobody really wants to look at fasteners.”
“Use of hidden fasteners really takes the appearance of the deck so much further than just the use of colored screw heads, which is what we did in the past,” he says. “Almost all composite manufacturers have developed or improved upon their own hidden fastener solutions these days. Because they are designed to be used with the manufacturer’s pre-grooved deck boards, they can really save a lot of installation time once you are familiar with the product.”
“Do your homework,” advises George Drummond of Casa Decks in Virginia Beach, Va., “particularly when experimenting with new products or materials, including the new hidden fastening systems.” Drummond says that he uses hidden fasteners on about 30 percent of his projects. A simple mistake such as over tightening the screw in the fastener can ruin its integrity.
“The most important thing is to make sure that you read and understand all of the manufacturer’s instructions on how to install any decking product before you start the project because that can make all the difference. Remember, it is your reputation that is on the line as well.”
