Product highlights from KBIS

by on May 2, 2011 in home designs, Kitchen Designs, Remodeling

The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas may have ended, but it’s left consumers and builders with a big craving for new, innovative and GREEN kitchen and bath products.

KBIS is the equivalent to Fashion Week for kitchens and bathrooms, where companies present the new and most innovative products to impress architects, designers and consumers. This year the theme was heavy on functionality – products that aim to make your life easier by using the latest in technology.

Here are some highlights from the show:

There’s the NanaWall® Kitchen Transition, a custom window-door combo that has the ability to turn your kitchen into an indoor-outdoor living space.

Dacor’s® new Distinctive Series® focuses on affordable luxury in appliances. LG® also announced the new Studio Series® a line of energy efficient appliances, from microwaves to dishwashers

The new Hybrid line of outdoor grills from Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet® is just in time for the warm weather. You can grill with gas, charcoal or wood and it has designated areas for fish, beef, chicken and pork. Also on display was the first dishwasher designed for the outdoors.

It was all about pampering with the latest in bidets and spa shower systems from leaders like TOTO,® American Standard® and Kohler®.

If you’re in the market for a new countertop you’ll want to check out Cambria®. It’s the only American made quartz. It’s non-porous so it will never stain, it doesn’t require sealant (so it’s chemical free) and it comes with a lifetime warranty. And it is absolutely gorgeous!

It was very refreshing to find companies like Dacor® and Cambria® who manufacture their products in the United States. GE Appliances® is also making a commitment to bring their manufacturing back to the states.

House Plans With Gorgeous Kitchen Islands

by on October 10, 2010 in House Plans, Kitchen Designs

It doesn’t matter the size or style of the house plan, all of our architects and designers feel that adding a kitchen island to their kitchen design is an integral element in creating a practical, enjoyable and gorgeous work zone.

To ensure that your kitchen is a clear expression of your taste and blends well with adjoining rooms and your home’s overall architectural style you’ll want to spend time selecting the right components to create a fabulous kitchen.

The first decision you’ll need to make about your kitchen is how you want it to look and function. Depending on your home’s architectural style, you may want a look that is inspired by European kitchens, contemporary themes or a more organic, casual design. There’s no shortage of design inspiration thanks to a multitude of kitchen showrooms, magazines and websites. And of course, just like borrowing recipes from friends and family, you can take the best elements from their kitchens and create your own custom look.

Our recent issue of Home Ideas focuses on helping you select the right kitchen island and countertop based on size, configuration, function and style. You can also browse our collection of Fabulous Kitchen Designs, featuring beautiful photography.
