Posted: April 14, 2019 |
In recent years, traditional cuisine has evolved worthy of the Quiet Revolution. More and more trends are taking precedence over American traditions. The storage drawers replace the traditional doors, both under the counter and in the pantry. Finishes, colors, lighting transform and facilitate your life. Here you can get the idea for custom cabinets Concord. The materials While melamine remains the preferred choice of consumers for a first kitchen, solid wood cabinet doors remain a wise choice. Okay, they are more expensive, but they increase the value of your property when reselling. If you opt for other materials, there are several options available to you ... Veneers, which give the appearance of wood without investing considerable sums; thermoplastics offered in several finishes and colors; amalgam of materials, including melamine and stainless steel; ceramics (on the counter and backsplash), glass and plexiglass are popular. In front of a multitude of choices, you will probably need to consult specialists, designers, decorating magazines, or even your favorite decoration-renovation programs on Canal Vie to find the style that will suit your desires and your environment. Colors and finishes Did you know that the time of year when you choose the color of your future kitchen will have an influence on its final pace? Often, a consumer who chooses his choice in autumn or winter will opt for warmer shades while the one who chooses to renovate his kitchen in summer will choose lighter colors. According to several experts, the external brightness would influence the final decision. Surprised? Half of consumers opt for a matte finish, easier to clean. Others will choose pearl, semi-gloss or shiny finishes. Here, it is personal preferences that influence this decision. The storage revolution The kitchen revolution is based on storage. We all, one day or another, dropped a cauldron wanting to get out another. What a useless crash! Yet the solution is within our reach: storage drawers ... popular with Europeans! These drawers fit under the counters and replace the traditional doors advantageously. You'll save space and permanently eliminate hard-to-reach places. You only have to bend to access this or that tool, but that you do it already! There are also multiple systems that allow you to store your cooking utensils. Again, convenience remains the leitmotiv of manufacturers. Your drawer will accommodate more rooms with very ingenious options. Doors that open upward also facilitate access to the contents of your cabinets. But the latest trends are the electric opening and closing systems. With the touch of a finger, you can open and close drawers and cabinet doors silently, effortlessly. What an improvement that will please everyone! No more drawer slamming, no more utensils scattered because of a sudden gesture. Everything stays in its place... These same systems are offered for the pantry. In addition to facilitating access to the various products, they provide superior storage capacity with many options. And you will not have to move some items to access others: everything is accessible! The doors, above the cabinets, offer the same characteristics of opening and silent closing. Guaranteed access, total silence: what could be better? The lighting revolution The era of under counter fluorescent lighting is over ... With halogen bulbs, less bulky and brighter, the work surface is better lit. No more shady areas. But we will soon see the disappearance of this type of lighting, yet not so old. The trend is emerging very clearly and brilliantly. Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lighting systems will soon replace our traditional systems. More brilliant, they are more energy efficient and have an average life of 50,000 hours. They offer a powerful white light, little blinding, and add to the overall atmosphere of the kitchen. Counters Traditional counters are less popular in months. For a second kitchen, consumers often opt for ceramic or granite. No more sub-dishes! Some even install a "block of butcher" that allows to work directly on the surface, without cutting board... In addition to being beautiful, the new kitchen must be convenient. This will save you time by spending less energy. Equipped with adequate and efficient accessories (mixer, pressure cooker, etc.), your next kitchen should make your job easier and increase your cooking pleasure. Never forget that the kitchen remains the center of the universe of a family, a couple. We prepare meals, we eat there. Sometimes it becomes a place of physical contact, prelude or theater of passionate embraces ... And you, how do you see your kitchen?
