What Is Hot In Kitchen Redesign

By Kari Gibson


To upgrade your home, head to the kitchen. A quality kitchen is one way to add equity to your home and just looks nice. In fact, the latest tend is to get your indoor kitchen in shape and add one outside.

Since all the world tends to grill during those warmer summer months, it just makes sense that a few companies would come up with a way to keep food cool outside. You will find lots of double insulated doors, drawers, and small refrigerators that fit right into your outside island.

The summer trend is all the rage. When it is warm and sunny, why be indoors? The outdoor food island is the answer. Forget old grills. Go with a covered island with quality countertops, sinks, frigs, warmers and more.

Other than outdoor refrigeration units, indoor fridges and freezers have started to get a facelift as well. Larger, wider, and more personalized refrigerators are starting to make an appearance. Drawers that pull out of walls, individual compartments, and wide shelves that can hold any part tray are a few innovations.

Another trend that falls into the take it or leave it category has to do with the walls of your kitchen. You can have panels installed that alternate colors and graphics per your wishes. Some like it, some people do not. Check it out.

Americans are famous for eating out. One needs only look at our collective belt lines to realize as much. For a variety of reasons, however, personal cooking is coming back into vogue. Quality homemade food is all the rage.

From McMansions to developer communities, homes tend to look a lot alike. Well, the trend in kitchen design is all about individuality. Assume nothing. Look for different things you like and create a total design that is all your own.

The days of cooking in an old beater kitchen are fading away. New kitchen designs and appliances make cooking fun again and increase the value of your home. Take the time to figure out what you like and then go for it.
