Using a Backsplash to Invigorate Your Kitchen Remodel

August 25, 2016

Adding a well-paired backsplash to your kitchen remodel adds both depth and dimension, creating a new focal point for all to enjoy. In order to make the best use of the wall space in your kitchen, consider using a backsplash to create interest and beauty.

A great way to style your backsplash is to consider the colors and patterns of your kitchen’s countertops. By using complimentary edge styles, tile shapes and colors, you may easily convert your kitchen into a form of functional art. Once a countertop has been selected, try matching some of the palates and mixing patterns. By matching some of the primary colors found in the countertop you avoid an uncomplimentary clash, and instead tie the entire room together. Sample tile patterns which differ from that of the countertop whether it be laminate, granite or quartz to construct a stunning and gorgeous kitchen.

The skilled team of certified installers and craftsmen at New Design Inc. have the expertise to execute on your plans, and can assist you in selecting from the thousands of possible combinations. Visit our 2,000 square foot showroom to view the latest trends and styles, demonstrating our wide selection of top quality manufacturers from around the world.

Which Kitchen Style Should I Choose for My Home?

August 9, 2016

With an endless number of options, finding the right style kitchen for your home can be tricky. In this blog we will dive into the art of kitchen building to provide you with three potential kitchen styles for your remodel.

#1. The Modern Kitchen

Similar to contemporary design, modern kitchens offer sleek and simple hardware with the use of a simple, natural palate. This style calls upon an emphasis on horizontal lines to create a clean visual appeal.

#2. The Cottage Kitchen

Perfect for a cozy home, cottage style kitchens use a selection of light, natural colors to create a welcoming environment. One of the unique aspects of cottage styling is the use of open cabinetry. As a highlight to many cottage styled kitchens, open cabinets allow you to display items such as farm fresh ingredients, rustic cooking essentials and cooking literature all in a convenient location.

#3. The Craftsman’s Kitchen

With a focus on the natural elements, craftsman styled kitchens are perfect for those that enjoy the outdoors. By using minimally stained cabinetry, natural stone surfaces and earthy colors, you can enjoy the world’s beauty in your very own home.

The three styles we have chosen to mention are just a sample of what is possible when working with the New Design, Inc. team. In order to help you best visualize your project, our expert staff creates views of your project in stunning 3D fashion. In addition to state of the art visualization technology, you may also enjoy access to an up-to-date project management portal to help you keep track of the fully in-house New Design, Inc. process.

Making the Most of your Bathroom Remodel

July 25, 2016

If you are looking to remodel your bathroom to update its style, there are a few things to keep in mind in order to make the most of its update. Firstly, the premier focus of any bathroom update whether it be a partial or full remodel, is the vanity. Created by adroit craftsmen, vanities are a functional part of your bathroom and house both a sink and storage space. A few of the main options you have in selecting a vanity include: size, materials, placement and styling points.

Depending upon the size and purpose of the bathroom, a double vanity (which includes two sinks instead of one) may be the best fit, especially so for a master bath. The larger your vanity, the more functional space you create within your bathroom for storing items like towels and personal care products. The second most important focal point of a bathroom is its shower (if equipped). Rising in popularity, frameless glass showers look great in any bathroom. This shower style is fabulously sleek and incorporates clean edges which look great from any angle. There are a few things to look for in frameless glass showers, including the quality of glass and the metals of the hardware. Though frameless showers are a bit more expensive than traditional framed models the difference is stunning and well worth it.

How Cherry Cabinetry Can Beautify Your New Kitchen

July 13, 2016

One of the most important decisions a homeowner makes in the planning stage of their kitchen remodel is the cabinetry. Cherry wood is a reddish-brown wood with a fine and straight grain, perfect for kitchens of many styles. As a hardwood, cherry is perfect for cabinetry and is incredibly durable; to last for decades of use by your family. There are a multitude of ways that cherry may be stained in order to best suit your remodel, with medium to dark stains being the most popular. Unlike many other woods, cherry wood possesses a uniform grain, which adds a beautiful and natural visual appeal to the kitchen.

With a long history of preference by cabinetmakers, cherry cabinetry has recently grown in popularity due to its newfound application in contemporary design. With such raw beauty, even an unstained cherry wood maintains an unmistakable golden luster. Cherry trees are primarily found in the eastern United States such as North Carolina, New York and Pennsylvania. The most distinctive feature of this eastern wood is its reaction to oxidation over time, which darkens the wood into a color difficult to replicate by staining other forms of wood.

As world renowned wood, be sure to explore what cherry cabinetry has to offer. In order to provide our customers with the epitome of value we buy direct from the manufacturer, a real win for homeowners. The award winning team of design specialists at New Design, Inc. would be happy to assist you in selecting the perfect cabinetry for your home. Our team is available by phone at (810) 694-8609 or by e-mail at sales@newdesignkitchens.com, please contact us if you are interested in installing cabinetry in your home, or any of the other services we offer.

Your kitchen’s countertops are used daily and serve a wide variety of uses. There are material options for all price points. We will describe three of the material choices offered by New Design, Inc. for installation in your kitchen.

#2. Laminates

The best bang for your buck, laminates offer the greatest value and are available in thousands of colors. This non-porous material can be made to order, coming in a variety of edge styles to satisfy your project’s needs.

#3. Quartz

This versatile material is stain, scratch and heat resistant, making it perfect for application in the kitchen. As a non-porous, natural material, quartz does not require sealant and is available in an array of colors and patterns.
