Kitchen Remodeling Do’s & Don’ts for 2017

In: Black & White

This clean, refined look is experiencing a resurgence—and for good reason! Whether you give it a classic or modern spin, this scheme lends itself to a variety of decorating styles. You’ll appreciate its timeless appeal for years to come.

Out: Shabby Chic

Distressed paint jobs and visible pot racks have dominated decorating schemes for some time now, but trends are heading toward a more streamlined look. Opt for simpler designs and decreased clutter this new year.

In: Wood Paneling

Wood can grant your kitchen a warm, homey feel, especially in contrast with modern trappings like stainless steel appliances. Shiplap has become particularly popular and can add an old-fashioned country appeal to your cooking sessions.

In: Extra Storage

With limited kitchen space, clever storage solutions are the key to keeping your cooking area well-stocked and clutter-free. Hidden drawers, spacious cabinets, and other organizational tricks can be incorporated to ensure your kitchen functions smoothly.
