Peering Into the 2024 Crystal Ball

Our showroom designers continue to advise homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA how they can create a dream kitchen that not only looks out of this world and functions impeccably, but also serves as a center for healthy living. This can be accomplished by leveraging smart appliances that inventory the contents of refrigerators, offer menu suggestions based on contents, and prioritize ingredients that are about to spoil to design features such as refrigerated columns and drawers that provide more flexibility. Steam ovens and air fryers also can contribute to healthier lifestyles.   

The primary function of a kitchen never changes. Improving the kitchen’s functionality is a compelling reason to rely on a professional designer. Homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA can obtain the functionality they expect and deserve in a new dream kitchen by paying particular attention to storage and organizational amenities that keep counters clean and provide a place for everything. The number one regret of homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA after they have completed a kitchen renovation is not investing enough in kitchen storage and organization solutions. 

Lighting also plays a key role in enhancing kitchen functionality. In-drawer, under-cabinet, behind cabinet lighting solutions combined with strategically placed task, accent and ambient lighting enhance the look, feel and functionality of a kitchen.
