Elements of a Spectacular Kitchen

For many years the Kitchen & Bath Etc. design team has been designing dream kitchens. We want to share some of our favorite features.

• Motorized waste can, you bump it with your knee, and it opens. It is great when your hands are dirty!

• Under-cabinet lighting is a must!

• Open shelving is not only on-trend but helps personalize your space.

• Interesting range hoods can really make a statement.

• Hands-free faucets and the instant hot water option are very convenient.

• Oven warming drawers are a dream!

Other essential elements include the following:

• Lighting

• Seating

• Organization and Storage 

Good lighting makes a new kitchen more enjoyable, and bad lighting does just the opposite. Lighting can make or break how a new kitchen looks, feels, and functions. It is equally as important as cabinets, countertops, appliances, backsplashes, flooring, sinks, and faucets.

Effective lighting illuminates a space in layers using different components and strategies to paint the final picture. Layers of light contribute not only to the functionality of the kitchen but also to its design and beauty.

Most homeowners want to have an abundance of seating in their new kitchens to spend time with family and to use the kitchen for additional purposes such as preparing meals, cleaning up, doing homework, reading, relaxing and working from home. That is why islands have become so popular. They serve multiple functions in addition to serving as a focal point.

A great kitchen must not only look out of this world, but it must also incorporate the best functionality that meets your needs. There is a vast array of storage and organizational tools ranging from drawer and cabinet organizers to pull out drawers and pantries that provide a place for all of your kitchen utensils, small appliances, plates and glassware, cookware, and pots and pans.
