Kitchen Hardware Design Styles For 2022

Kitchen Hardware Design Styles For 2022

Kitchen Remodel With White Cabinetry on Perimeter and Island

 

Kitchen hardware design may be a small part of any kitchen remodel, but it can play a big role in the overall look or style. In fact, it’s tiny details like the hardware that tie the other design elements together to create a finished, aesthetically pleasing and functional room.

 

What does kitchen hardware design in 2022 look like?

 

For the new year, you can expect to see kitchen hardware styles that fit with the kitchen trends for 2022: simple, functional, and environmentally friendly. Let’s take a look at a few of the most popular designs.

 

7 Trending Kitchen Hardware Design Styles

 

Touch-to-Open Cabinets and Drawers

 

The minimalist movement featured in so many home renovations today centers around maximizing the use of space but keeping extraneous details to a minimum. For some, that means no kitchen hardware at all.

Instead, you can choose touch-to-open cabinets and drawers. Without handles and door pulls to distract, other materials or design elements throughout the kitchen can be brought to the forefront. And, the smooth, bump-free surfaces that result from no kitchen hardware are the perfect addition to any aging in place design.

 

Hidden Kitchen Hardware

 

kitchen-island-makes-cleanup-easy

 

If you’re wanting a minimalist look but still like the idea of traditional kitchen hardware, you can choose knobs and handles that blend with the cabinet colors and style. They won’t stand out but they’ll still provide you with all the functions you need.

 

Wooden Cabinet Hardware

 

Kitchen hardware has traditionally been made from metallic or ceramic materials. However, with an increased focus on eco-friendly kitchens and returning to nature, nature-inspired materials such as wood are becoming popular for kitchen design elements. That includes wooden door pulls and handles for cabinets and drawers.

 

Brass or Gold Elegance

Brass and gold continue to be popular choices for kitchen hardware in 2022. Their ability to add a touch of softness but also luxury makes them a beautiful solution for anyone looking for simple elegance that makes a statement.

 

Eclectic Mix

 

Today’s modern farmhouse kitchen is the perfect example of combining old with new. If you want to mix traditional features with modern design styles, kitchen hardware can be a great way to do it. When done well, you’re left with an aesthetically pleasing and functional kitchen with hints of the past.

 

Colorful Contrasts

 

Kitchen cabinets make a statement and colors pop when you incorporate contrasting colors in your kitchen design. For example, dark pulls on white cabinets or gold handles on dark cabinets make a beautiful color combination and enhance the entire room.

 

Geometric Hardware Designs

 

Whether you’re following the backsplash trends of 2022 with a geometric style backsplash or you simply want to add a point of interest, geometric shaped hardware is in. Just be sure that utilizing it is in keeping with your overall kitchen design.

2022 Remodeling Trends

With the pandemic hopefully behind us, it is now time to focus on what matters most: Your Family & Home! The home means so much more to families than just shelter and security.  This is where you make memories with family and friends. This is where you work and sleep now – this is also a co-working space for many couples. It’s also a place where you create delicious meals and entertain.  Your home should be comfortable and exciting for each of the purposes you use it for.  Your master bath should be a peaceful oasis while your kitchen is a home chefs paradise meant for cooking and gathering.

Over 450 Billion US Dollars were spent in 2020 home improvement needs and wants. With a number this large, the math indicates placing money into your home now, will only benefit you down the road to retirement later. Along with increasing profits, you are gaining delight by enjoying your new remodel, and all the breathtaking accoutrements that come along. Forecasts show that in 2024 over 500 billion will be spent in home improvement. This equals higher property values for all Southern California Owners!

Plenty Of Lush Plants & Floral Accents!

Breathe. We all take breathes although adding opulent plants will create more oxygen in the room as you, and the plant, receive your morning sunshine together.  And if a desert motif is one that stimulates you and your mate, then remember that NASA has concluded Aloe Vera as a top air-purifying plant. These succulents release oxygen at night, require extraordinarily little care, and are inexpensive. Plants of all species help us to breathe better and feel healthier when nature is inside our own homes.

Throwback Vintage for a Nostalgic Look?

When checking out the latest fashion trends for your home in 2022, think about those colors many of us grew up with in our own bedrooms. Yes, burnt orange and avocado are back for 2022! Remember the 50’s and 60’s? Not a worry when you work alongside with a great design team; The concepts and layouts from past to present will be shown to you in all their glory! Here are a few nostalgic looks that will bring a hip and trendy vibe to your 2022 remodel.  Mid-century modern is big this year – and just like your old bell bottoms, the design has changed from the 70s so its all new to you.

  • Flooring: Vinyl, tile, or wood? Your designer will help you select the right flooring for your family needs.
  • Big, Bold Colors! Watch “The Brady Bunch” re-runs to get that vibe of the 70’s back for your home in 2022.
  • Different Materials: A curvy-shaped, velvet Ottoman with striped wallpaper will make you feel like you’re in a James Bond movie (Or Austin Powers!).

Stone, Metal, & Composite: Oh My!

Natural stones are absolutely gorgeous but you need to be careful as natural stones needs more care and precaution in the kitchen where heat and staining can occur during any cooking.  Adding bronze to your Danby white quartzite counter-top will get you the oohs and awes you hope for with a remodel.

When natural stone enters your home, a sense of well-being is instantly felt. While quartz is the leading contender in remodeling these days, there are plenty more options for design and beauty.  Check out these alternatives for a path less traveled:

  • Limestone: Great for the bedroom!
  • Slate: Think of Slate=Studious. Place Slate in your new Study!
  • Marble: This natural stone  can easily be stained so keep out of kitchens and baths but your fireplace is a perfect spot.
  • Granite: We are typically removing granite these days, but some folks find a pattern they love and still want it.

Last, but not least is the crowd-pleasing brick and concrete. Alone, these two materials don’t create excitement as much as a new Lamborghini in the garage, yet when applied properly, the industrial look of brick and concrete combined with modern stainless steel give you a fantastic design that you are looking to obtain!

Elegant Alcohol Fixtures!

Perhaps the Pandemic has us all imbibing a bit more than, let’s say, 2017, but we feel this trend is here to stay! Drink Trolleys and Rolling Bars have all been the on-line rage. Rolling your faves out to your friends at the pool not only looks cool, but it also makes the party easier to manage. The traditional wet bar in the living room is still a must-have for most, yet, getting imaginative with your bar & alcohol choices and placement enhance to the ambiance in a huge way!

Wine racks are required even if you are not the self-proclaimed Sommelier. Proper storage of any wine is vital to its existence. Your designer might view opportunity where others don’t see the vision. Imagine the win rack or the bar itself, lit, in an unused alcove in the family or living room? The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to where the party (all the elegant alcohol fixtures that is) are arranged throughout your new 2022 remodel!

Work From A Home-Friendly Design?

Hopefully you are one of the fortunate people that are allowed to continue working from home. If this is the case, then welcome home! And, if you still need to commute, these work-from-home designs will make everyone in your household feel more technologically advanced. From Wi-Fi to a new office chair, working from home will appear and feel quicker and more dependable after your 2022 remodel.

Tips For Working At Home:

  • Better Lighting.
  • If possible, separate work-space from bathroom & bedroom as far as allowable.
  • Plants!
  • Inspiring Artwork for motivating & growing.
  • Wi-Fi at its Max Speed!
  • Ergonomic mousepad, chair, monitor, etc.
  • Soothing paint.

5 Fabulous Backsplash Trends For 2022

5 Fabulous Backsplash Trends For 2022

by | Trending Remodeling Topics | 0 comments

Backsplash trends - Dark subway tile backsplash in Anaheim Hills kitchen remodel When they were first invented, kitchen backsplashes were designed with one primary function in mind. They served to protect the area between the stovetop and the range hood from moisture, food, and oil splatters – unavoidable side effects of cooking in the kitchen. Now, 2022 backsplash trends show that while function is still important, style and beauty are taking center stage.

 

5 Kitchen Backsplash Trends You’ll See in the New Year

These bold and beautiful backsplashes will be sure to catch your eye and make an artistic statement in your kitchen.

  1. Metallic Backsplashes – This may not be the first material that comes to mind when you picture a beautiful kitchen backsplash. However, it totally makes sense that this makes the list of 2022 backsplash trends. A metallic backsplash reflects light, offering a shiny, shimmery brightness to the room, especially when paired with dark kitchen cabinets.
  1. Glazed Tile Backsplashes – Not interested in a metallic backsplash? You can get a similar shine and shimmer with a glazed finish on those backsplash tiles. The glossy look means more reflected light than a matte finish and it’s super easy to clean.
  1. Continuous Countertops – Traditionally, backsplashes have been a great way to tie in kitchen cabinet colors with different countertop materials or other colors throughout the room. They’re also often used to create a stunning accent wall. But, 2022 backsplash trends include using one material for both countertop and backsplash, creating a seamless and streamlined design.
  1. Beyond the Backsplash – Along the lines of continuous countertops, here’s another thought – why not continue the backsplash design all the way to the ceiling? Kitchen trends in 2022 favor fewer wall cabinets and more floating shelves, paving the way for a beautifully tiled backsplash wall to rise to new heights. This can be especially stunning given some of the trendy tile designs we expect to see more of in the new year.

  1. Luxurious Marble – Marble has long been a popular material choice for kitchen countertops. It’s easy to clean, looks luxurious, and stands up to the test of time. In 2022, you can expect to see more marble making its way into backsplashes as well.

2022 Remodeling Budget: Where Does Your Money Go?

2022 Remodeling Budget: Where Does Your Money Go?

by | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Remodeling Budget

 

A new year is just around the corner, so the time to start creating your 2022 remodeling budgets is NOW! Whether you have a whole house remodel, kitchen renovation, or master bathroom makeover in mind, it’s important to create a budget from which you can operate during the entire process.

 

Why do you need a remodeling budget?

 

The ‘B’ word often makes people cringe, but having a remodeling budget is really just telling yourself, and anyone else working on your project, where you want your money to go. Without it, your home renovation could take a significant turn in the wrong direction.

 

Here’s why creating a remodeling budget before the start of your project is so critical:

 

  • Plan a project that you can actually afford – When you know how much it will cost upfront, you’ll know if the project you’re planning will fit into your overall finances.
  • It will help you choose appropriate materials – You’ve probably heard the expression “champagne taste on a beer budget.” This certainly applies to remodeling. Having a realistic budget will help you know whether your tastes and finances are in sync.
  • A budget helps you set realistic limits – You may be tempted to go all out on your kitchen renovation. But, it’s important to understand how much your remodel will actually increase your property value and spend accordingly.
  • You can plan ahead for unexpected costs – By planning everything out on paper first, you’ll be able to put aside some money for hidden costs. These are the expenses that come up that no one can predict ahead of time. Take the stress out of unforeseen costs by accounting for them in your remodeling budget.

 

What’s included in a typical remodeling budget?

 

Now that you know a remodeling budget is a must, let’s take a look at what’s actually in one. Here’s an example of what you can expect to see in a typical kitchen renovation budget, along with the approximate percentage of each item compared to the total budget (individual budgets will vary):

 

  • Design (5%) – Planning the perfect kitchen is more than just gathering a few ideas from Pinterest. A professional kitchen designer can help you incorporate those ideas with modern kitchen design trends and your own personality to create a beautiful, personalized space.
  • Countertops, Cabinets, and Hardware (38%) – Sometimes, materials straight from the manufacturer will do. Other times, however, custom cabinets or countertops will be needed to either meet your needs or create the look and feel you want.
  • Appliances (10%) – Your designer can help you decide whether you need all new appliances or whether the ones you already have will fit with the new design.
  • Flooring and Lighting (10%) – These two items are key features in any kitchen design. Look for flooring options that will hold up to the amount of traffic your kitchen gets and choose lighting that will enhance the space.
  • Plumbing, Faucets, and Fixtures (5%) – There are plenty of options to choose from but your designer can help you decide which ones will fit your budget and overall style.
  • Windows and Doors (5%) – Depending on the extent of your renovation, you may be able to utilize existing windows and doors. However, new ones may be needed to improve function or to fit with the new design.
  • Labor and Installation (17%) – Renovating a kitchen is hard work and not likely a task you want to tackle yourself. When you hire a professional remodeling company to do the job, you spend more money upfront but save money in the long run.
  • Other (10%) – Remember to plan for contingencies so a surprise expense doesn’t become a stressful one.

10 Trendy Tile Designs for 2022

10 Trendy Tile Designs for 2022

by | Trending Remodeling Topics | 0 comments

Trendy Tile Designs

 

Whether simple or intricate, beautiful tile designs have often been a popular way to spruce up a space or provide unique accents. Used frequently in kitchens and bathrooms, tile is loved by homeowners for its varied material, shape, color, and texture. It’s also easy to clean and holds up well to the test of time – the perfect material for any kitchen or bathroom remodel!

 

As with other aspects of the remodeling world, however, tile designs come and go. Some of the classics stick around, but each year sees new trends emerge to excite and inspire. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular tile designs trends for the year ahead.

 

2022 Tile Designs for Kitchen and Bath

 

1: Backsplashes With Glazed Tile

Glazed tile backsplash

Rather than sticking to the traditional matte finish, homeowners can expect to see more glazed tile backsplashes. Shiny tiles are super easy to clean, reflect light nicely, and make a beautiful backdrop.

 

2: Subway Tile Used in Creative Ways

 

An old but popular classic, subway tile gets a new look in 2022. When tiles are arranged in different directions (vs. the traditional horizontal brick-like look) or different sizes are used, a new design palette is born.

 

3: Full Height Tile Backsplash

 

Most homeowners are familiar with the use of a tile backsplash between kitchen cabinets and the countertop. Or, in the bathroom, between mirror and vanity. In 2022, however, the tile backsplash grows to new heights – all the way to the ceiling! As such, it’s the perfect backdrop for another emerging trend … floating shelves.

4: Slab Backsplashes

Taj-Mahal Countertops and backsplash

 

Picture this: A stunning backsplash made from a solid slab of marble, showing off its deep veins and beautiful coloring. When a single slab is used instead of multiple individual tiles, the eye is drawn to the beauty of the material and the design isn’t cluttered by tile grout and borders.

 

5: Wet Rooms

Walk-in-shower

Here’s an emerging trend in which an entire room section is lined with tile. And why not? It’s the perfect material for high moisture areas like the shower. A tile-lined wet room is easy to clean and is a great way to maximize floor space.

 

6: Wood-Look Tiles

As bathroom and kitchen design trends for 2022 move toward a more organic feel and natural look, it’s important to choose materials that fit with that image. Perhaps that’s why wood-look tiles are emerging as one of the most popular tile designs for 2022. They’re simple to use on the wall or on the floor. Plus, they’re easier to clean and less susceptible to moisture than actual wood.

 

7: Intricate Designs

 

Gone are the days of tile designs simply made from arranging tiles neatly in a row. While those designs can still be used and certainly have their place, expect to see more intricate motifs in 2022. These unique designs will make beautiful accents or add visual intrigue to a clean, minimalist-styled room.

 

Bathroom Renovation With Herringbone Pattern Shower Tile and Patterned Floor Insets

 

8: Slate Tiles

 

Known for their dark color, organic grain, and earthy feel, slate tiles will be another perfect material to achieve the natural look that many homeowners are after.

 

9: Chevron Tiles

Chevron tile work

 

Chevron tile designs have been popular before, but 2022 will see them emerge in different ways. Expect to see them used in accent walls, perhaps inside a walk-in shower with built-in shampoo niche. The zigzag or v-shaped patterns can be made out of a variety of materials – colored ceramics, stone, glass, and more. No matter where they’re utilized, you can be assured of an eye-catching design!

 

10: Hexagon Tile Patterns

HexGON SHAPED BATH TILE

 

Hexagon tiles have traditionally been a favorite choice for designers. In 2022, expect to see them used in creative patterns, mixing large and small tiles and blending them with other tile styles like herringbone or subway.
