You will want to plan out your project properly to ensure that all of your requirements are met.

Plan out your goals for your remodel

A kitchen design is composed of many elements, all of which come together to form a bigger picture. There are countertops, sometimes a backsplash and/or a central island, a dining area, appliances, the sink, flooring, and of course: the cabinets. Kitchen cabinetry is an element of this big picture that offers a lot of potential for creative design, at the same time, it serves an integral purpose in the room. Cabinets are a prominent feature in both appearance and use, so the materials, finishes, styles, and functionality you choose are extremely important.

Woodwork, carvings, finishes, hardware, and angles can transform a cabinet into a work of artistry. You may even elect to have one of our expert craftsmen custom-design your cabinets to exactly specify to your tastes and needs. Developing ample cabinet space and organization is essential, ensuring that clutter stays to a minimum. The small details do matter. In order to find the cabinets right for you, you will need a professional plus a catalog of good choices.

New Design, Inc. offers a robust selection of cabinetry options. Or, as mentioned, you can even opt to have them custom-designed by one of our craftsmen. You choose from a wide variety of materials and styles with the help of our designers who will guide you and create a plan. Our experienced team is trained and passionate about opening doors of design exploration for the best fit for your room and budget.

Top 3 Reasons to Remodel Your Kitchen

October 27, 2016

Your kitchen is the center of your home’s activity, and a remodel can provide your home a new vibrant energy and feel. Although a kitchen remodel is a major project, it can significantly improve your kitchen’s functionality, organization, and appearance.

Below are 3 of the top reasons why you may want to consider remodeling your kitchen:

#1 – A new kitchen improves the value of your home.

Remodeling your kitchen is a great investment that will improve the value of your home, as the quality and modernity of your kitchen and bathrooms are two of the top features that potential homebuyers look for when purchasing. Offering a new, beautiful kitchen will be very attractive when you decide to sell your house.

#2 – Your kitchen will be more functional.

Updating your kitchen will make it more functional. For example, you may find that your current kitchen is cluttered and difficult to work in. Adding more storage space with new cabinets or a kitchen island will free up working space and allow you to be organized and cook more safely, which is especially important if you have children.

#3 – Your new kitchen will look attractive, fresh and stylish.

One of the top reasons to remodel your kitchen is the fact that it will look more modern. When you spend so much of your day in the kitchen, you want it to look great, for yourself, your family and your guests. A striking new kitchen is something that everyone can appreciate and a redesigned kitchen can look dramatically different compared to what you have now.

At New Design Inc. we offer free consultations for new kitchen designs. We can answer any questions that you may have about how you can improve your current kitchen. Give us a call for a consultation or visit our showroom at 5693 S. Saginaw Rd. in Flint, Michigan.

Top Countertop Choices for Busy Kitchens

October 7, 2016

Countertops that are designed to last and that can resist scratching and staining are essential for busy kitchens. There are several materials that are durable and resistant to heat and scratching to consider. Your final choice will depend on the features that you are looking for, your budget, and the type of look that you desire.

Granite

Granite countertops are a great choice for a natural material that is very resistant to staining and scratching. Installing granite in your kitchen can also significantly increase its value, as many potential homebuyers prefer granite countertops.

Although, you will not have as many color and pattern choices as synthetic materials, there are still a wide range of options available for granite colors that you can match with your current kitchen’s design or a new design. Keep in mind that granite also needs to be sealed every year to keep it from staining.

Quartz

Engineered quartz can look just like granite. Quartz contains a combination of resin and quartz, usually around 93-95% quartz and 5-7% resin. Quartz does not need to be sealed, unlike granite.

With quartz countertops you get the benefit of a far wider range of colors and patterns, as engineered quartz countertops can be created to look exactly as you want. Most importantly, quartz is also very durable and resistant to scratching and staining.

New Design, Inc. is here to help you determine what material is best for your lifestyle, design, and budget. We have many options of countertops. Contact us for more information.
