THE TREND TOWARD TWO-TONE CABINETS
This week we are finishing up a kitchen remodel in Shaker Heights, OH, on Cleveland's east side. While there are many cool elements to this project, the one that stands out the most is the use of two different color cabinets--one light and one dark--in the kitchen. The island cabinets, as well as the refrigerator surround and the upper corner cabinet are chestnut, while the rest of the kitchen is a cream color. 

We have done several kitchens with two-toned cabinets in the past 12 months and noticed that it is growing trend. Therefore we would like to advise our readers who might be considering two-tone cabinets for their new Cleveland kitchen remodeling project to take careful consideration of their granite choice. The granite selection is very important when trying to pull this style of kitchen off, because it needs to tie the two colors together. In addition to making sure the granite syncs well with cabinets, we also need to think about installing a tile backsplash and tile floor. 

Depending on how detailed these are, the danger becomes having a kitchen that looks too busy, where too many colors are fighting against one another. It's important to find the balance of showing a lot of variety while remaining in the same color families.

KITCHEN DESIGN OVERVIEW
Today’s 3D design is an impressive rendering customized for a homeowner in Brecksville, OH. The customer wanted their kitchen to have an angular design to make it a more dynamic area of the house. However, the floorplan is not the only unique part of this kitchen; it contains vaulted ceilings with skylights, making it the perfect place to practice some much needed culinary therapy.

KITCHEN DESIGN ELEMENTS & STYLE
In particular, the homeowners wanted the kitchen to be appealing and eye-catching. In order to accomplish this, our designers selected cabinetry was with a lighter finish to contrast the dark appliances. Moreover, the tiled flooring and bar height island certainly add to the charm of this kitchen. We feel this design creates a vibrant environment in the kitchen while still being open enough for family gatherings. By adding the island bar the customer is able to conserve space and create more room for entertaining guests. The overlapping heights of the countertops is a very unique feature to this kitchen and creates a more modern/contemporary look. Under the bar is a glass end cap that can be used to display heirlooms and china.

This kitchen remodel in Brecksville embodies many design elements that are custom to the existing house. For instance, the cabinetry was designed to fit the unique, angular space evident throughout most of the area. The cabinets are cherry wood KraftMaid with a natural finish. This is just one of many homes that have enjoyed our remodeling services in Cleveland.

Today we are excited to reveal a really cool 3D design we recently presented to homeowner in Hudson Ohio in need of our Cleveland kitchen remodeling services for their home renovation project. The homeowners, like many of our customers, still have the original, out-of-date layout that was in style when their home was originally built decades ago. Being that it’s ‘not our first rodeo’, our team of designers and general contractors were able to scope out the existing space and reconfigure the room to create more storage and walking space than the homeowners had ever imagined possible. 

However, reworking the existing space was only half the battle. The customer had a very specific list of goals they wanted met from this project that we were to be mindful of during the design process. For instance, because the kitchen is quite small, the homeowners wanted to make the best use of the floor space with out overdoing modifications to the original floor plan. The ideal kitchen for the homeowners was a warm, inviting environment with exposed joints and rich, wood floors to maintain the existing feel of their farm house. Thus, the design we were able to come up with gives the room a much more contemporary feel while still keeping the current theme of the house. We also included the kitchen island for casual seating.

Perhaps the most challenging component of the kitchen redesign was the shape itself. As you can see, we were able to utilize the U-shape by following the curves of the kitchen with custom cabinetry in order to maximize storage space, yet still allowing for easy travel through the area. As well, the right wall has a built in pantry with a built in space for the refrigerator. Next to the refrigerator are glass end caps, which allows storage and display of family heirlooms and fine china.
