Three Ideas to Help Build Your Dream Luxury Kitchen

September 29, 2021 by WL Construction

Whether you’ve recently purchased a home and want to remodel the kitchen, or it has been years since you’ve had work done to your home’s kitchen and you’re ready for something new, there are several exciting luxury remodeling options that will have your kitchen looking its best.

When you’ve made the decision to remodel but don’t know where to begin, make sure to explore a few luxury kitchen options that include a classic kitchen look with neutral colors, something a bit more modern or a craftsmen kitchen that features real wood.

Between these three luxury kitchen types, you’re sure to find something that matches the look and feel of your home and something that your family and friends will love spending time in.

Classic kitchen with white countertops and cabinets

Go for the classic

When you choose a classic kitchen for your remodeling project, you’ll be getting something that has the timeless feel you desire while also having fresh elements for a truly unique space.

Classic kitchens often feature white or neutral colors and don’t go over the top with architectural details. Classic countertops will typically be black granite or quartz, white marble depending on your design preferences.

Another common feature of a classic kitchen is white “subway tile” which goes great with the white cabinets and white marble countertops.

Think modern

If your design preferences are less subtle, a modern kitchen is for you. Modern kitchens are great because there are really no set rules for how they should look.

The color palette you can choose from for cabinets and other features is expanded and you can choose from a wide range of countertop materials, backsplash designs and more.

As the name suggests, you can add modern-looking cabinets, unique islands with a wide range of designs, pull-out drawers that can store cold drinks and many more modern features.

Choose a craftsmen kitchen

Craftsmen kitchens are a popular luxury option for those going for a more natural feel in their kitchen.

Cabinetry, drawers and islands are typically made from real wood in a craftsmen kitchen, with muted countertops that blend well with the wood.

Similar to a modern kitchen, craftsmen kitchens will typically feature more unique backsplashes and you can get a bit more creative with the way your islands are designed.

Fun Outdoor Kitchen Ideas

An outdoor kitchen is a great option for those who enjoy spending time with family and friends in the open air. Whether you want something simple to prep, cook and eat at or you want to create a unique space that will wow visitors, the options are nearly endless.

Today, it isn’t surprising to see bars, wood-fire ovens, prep areas and appliances added to outdoor kitchens to make them on par with any traditional kitchen.

When you’re interested in adding an outdoor kitchen to your home, take a look at some of the more popular designs of late to get your creative juices flowing.

Add an island, prep area

An island or prep area placed next to the grill will make it easy to prepare meals and dish items out once they’ve been cooked.

With these two areas, you will have the ability to layout all the ingredients for your cookout and have access to them as you cook your meal.

This will also come in handy when you have taco night or another meal where you want to have a bunch of toppings spread out for your family or guests.

Consider adding a bar to your grill area

One of the more popular designs in recent years has been the adding of a bar to a grill area. If you have an outdoor kitchen, or are in the process of building one, you can extend it at the top or sides to create a comfortable and fun bar space.

This will be the perfect space for family parties or entertaining friends.

Mix things up with a pizza oven

Wood-fire ovens have seen a rise in popularity over the last few years but are now being added to outdoor kitchens for a slightly different reason.

If you prefer a fresh pizza over grilled meats, the adding of a wood-fire pizza oven will be an exciting edition to your outdoor kitchen. We recommend this if you have kids, as it can be a lot of fun for them to assist with making dinner or at parties with friends.

Add appliances, storage space

An indoor kitchen wouldn’t be complete without appliances, and your outdoor kitchen shouldn’t be any different. In the last few years more and more people have been adding appliances such as refrigerators, mini coolers, dish washers and more to their outdoor space.

It’s also suggested to add storage space where you can store glasses and plates once they have been washed.

If you’re interested in adding a new outdoor kitchen to your home, or need one remodeled, we invite you to reach out to our experienced team at W.L. Construction. We have been assisting home and business owners with their remodeling and construction needs for over 40 years and looking forward to lending a hand with your new outdoor kitchen or other project.

How to Incorporate Dark Features in Your Kitchen

April 7, 2021 by WL Construction

Black is quickly turning into the new white for kitchens. Although it may seem too dark for your room, black goes with virtually everything and is a great color to incorporate throughout your home. No matter the style of your kitchen, black features can easily be incorporated.

Whether you’re looking to add a statement feature, or you wish to incorporate small black details to your home, here are some ideas for incorporating this gorgeous, deep color into your kitchen:

Black Floors Paired with Warm Toned Walls

If you’re looking to turn your kitchen into a cozy area of your home, consider staining your floors black. Dark floors paired with white cabinetry and a warmer painted wall can make your kitchen feel taller and cozier. Encourage natural lighting to shine through your kitchen windows by adding bright window shades too!

Add Black Appliances to Make a Statements

Black appliances stand out in the kitchen like no other. They look sleek, clean, and pair well with many colors. If you want your kitchen to catch your guests’ attention, consider pairing your shiny black appliances with pale painted kitchen color and brass hardware.

Colors like white, pale aqua, green, and grey are great examples of colors that pair well with black appliances.

Mix Black and Copper

If you’d consider your aesthetic to be more colonial inspired, consider adding hints of copper to your black cabinetry to complete your aesthetic. Copper also pairs well with stainless steel appliances and, when used together, creates a gorgeous kitchen design.

Start Small

Black is a powerful color. If you love the idea of incorporating dark features into your kitchen, but you’re not ready to fully commit to changing the color of your kitchen, start small by incorporating a few statement pieces. Installing a sleek black sink on top of your white marble countertops is a great place to start! As darker kitchens start becoming more popular, you can find nearly any kitchen appliance in black, so there is plenty of ways that you can experiment.

Black Lower Cabinets Paired with White Tiled Floors

Glossy white tiled floors pair perfectly with black cabinets. To help open your kitchen, consider installing lower cabinets and use open shelves above your countertops for extra storage. Having a high-gloss finish on your cabinets and floors will also help maximize the light in your space.
