IS YOUR KITCHEN STILL SERVING YOU?

Does your kitchen accommodate your lifestyle for today? Or is it stuck in another era? Let’s take a trip back in time to discover how lifestyle and function have influenced kitchen designs through the ages.

1950s Kitchens

- Cheery color schemes that reflect an era of happiness and prosperity

- Rounded shaped appliances with chrome accents reminiscent of jukeboxes and diner appliances

- Design features include vinyl flooring and tile countertops

- U-shaped and L-shaped designs to reflect the open concept of the time

1990s Kitchens

- Design features such as subtle
color schemes and pale wood tones

- Corian® and granite countertops become a statement of style

- Initial demand soars for high-end appliances to match the styles of television celebrity chefs of the era

contemporary is in..

Today’s Kitchens

- Vertical space enhancements to make the room appear more spacious include raised ceilings, longer windows for more, natural light and open feel, counter to ceiling tile

- Modern design elements include updated textured and smooth finishes, state-of-the-art appliances, and varied surfaces with edged detail, simple, clean, feel-good spaces

- Smart solutions such as better, more organized storage, under cabinet outlets for electronics, two workstations each with a sink, LED lighting, and earth-friendly resources

- Vast counter space, often with different levels, angles and shapes for eating, gathering, studying, working, etc.

Contemporary/modern clean lines are in, combined with elements of old. Today's kitchen brings the past and future together, by mixing stone, metal, glass and woods features and accents in the same space.
