The Hottest New Kitchen Faucets

When we design a kitchen for our clients, we design right down to the smallest detail. Everything is important when you’re designing your dream kitchen, and the type of faucet you choose can have a big impact on the final product.

The faucet should flow with your kitchen design

Denver kitchen designers
Bronze faucets are right on trend for a contemporary country kitchen.

Kitchen design trends are leaning towards taking the old country kitchen and giving in clean lines and a smooth aesthetic. We don’t think about the faucet a lot when we’re thinking about how to design a kitchen, but the faucet is usually front and center, so it’s important to pick the right one so that it doesn’t throw off the aesthetic.
We’re seeing a lot of grays in modern kitchen design, so switching your faucet from the classic shiny silver metal to a matte black is a bold statement in your kitchen. It’s the perfect way to get a touch of country in a modern kitchen.
If black is too bold of a statement, think about getting a faucet in a warmer color, like golden browns, rose, and champagne. Your kitchen should be a place where people feel welcome and comfortable. Soft, earthy tones can help you achieve that.

Match your pots and pans

Traditional kitchen design in Denver
Little things, like choosing the right faucet, can have a big impact on your whole kitchen design.

Think about what else you’re going to have on display in your kitchen. Are you hiding everything behind custom kitchen cabinets, or do you have all of your pots and pans hanging above your kitchen island? Try to keep a complimentary color palate throughout your kitchen. You don’t want it to be too busy, and you don’t want your faucet to stand out like a sore thumb because you forgot to consider the whole kitchen design. The small details, like choosing the right faucet, are what gives your kitchen personality.

Faucets are getting smarter and more functional

Hands-free, multiple spray functions, and being able to pull out and pull down your faucet is another way to make your kitchen more functional. Faucets are getting smarter and more sanitary – two very important facets of kitchen design.

Knock Knock… Trick or Treat!

Country Rustic By TKS

That’s right! We are just days away from listening to little devils and witches knocking at our doors, threatening to cast spells on us, unless we share some sweets and goodies with them. 
Like good Americans, we all try to catch the evil spirit and prepare ourselves for the scary night. It is not just a matter of picking up a custom and helping your kids with theirs. It also requires a spooky environment.
Here are some easy and affordable ideas that we found surfing on the web and might give you some hints on how to transform your kitchen and home into a living nightmare… Do you dare?

Brian 2Table or Countertop

Tables and countertops are excellent spaces to place spooky decorations. Of course, consider the fact that you need this space to cook and eat, so try not to overload it. Think of easy and small adornments, such as: Candles and pumpkins.
Different sizes of pumpkins are useful. You should always take the big one and carve a scary face and place a candle inside. You can also paint 3 mid size pumpkins white, and spell “boo”, on them. Then, set black or silver candles around it.
With a white nylon string or other similar material, you can build a spider web for the candles and pumpkins to sit on. Black spider webs are also scary.

Fridge and Kitchen

Your refrigerator and your kitchen oven are excellent spots to place black paper spiders. You can also draw and cut a paper spider web to place them on. You can also try other insects or animals like ants, bats or cockroaches.
Another good idea is to cut some big paper eyes and mouth and place them on your oven and create a ghostly or monstrous kitchen. Just be careful it doesn’t bite you back.

Empty Jars

We all have empty jars in our kitchen. You can use these, as scary decorations, by placing a toy spider or a black paper spider inside it. Then, place your spooky jar at the tabletop, near a fireplace or anywhere you wish.

TKSI traditional kitchen portfolio dark crest woodRubber Gloves

How about a dead man’s hand? Just take a rubber kitchen  glove and fill it with paper, paint it pink and then put some red blood on it. Place it anywhere you want, a butcher’s knife could go well along with it.

Witch Legs

These are great and very easy to create. Just grab a couple of long striped socks and place them on the table legs. Then, put two pairs of pointy women shoes. Just be careful it doesn’t run away.
Using the same technique you can fill the long socks with paper or a tree branch and place the witch legs under the fridge, house or anywhere else you think the smashed witch illusion works.

Dry Branches

Dry branches are excellent spooky adornments. Look for a flower vase and place some dry branches on it. Tie black string and small black spiders on it. You won’t be able to get near it without feeling they are all over you.
These are just a few affordable ideas to make a scary environment for your home, but there are hundreds even thousands of ideas out there you can use to create a spooky kitchen this Halloween. It is just a matter of letting your imagination flow and make your worst nightmares real. Happy haunting!

Every Shade of Gray for Your Kitchen and Bath

Denver interior design

If you’re getting ready to renovate our kitchen and bath, think gray, black, and matte for contemporary charm.

Grays are replacing natural wood cabinetry

Denver kitchen and bath design
Shades of gray are the hottest kitchen and bath trends for 2016.

Both the kitchen and the bathroom should be light and vibrant and welcoming, but working with shades of white is seen and done. For a refreshing new look for your kitchen and bath, look for cabinetry in gray and silver colors. Gray makes a little more of a statement than white, and it still goes with all other colors and textures. Grays can go from almost white, to almost black, giving you more than 50 shades of gray to play with to express your personality.
The perfect shade of gray can make your kitchen and bath look expensive, without being flashy.

Cast iron hardware and black appliances

Since the return of the rustic kitchen, and the new trend towards gray cabinetry and walls we see a trend toward country chic matte black hardware. Accent your grays with cast iron knobs, pulls, hinges, towel bars, toiletry holders, and more.
Similarly, you’ll be seeing a lot more black or dark appliances in the kitchen. A black oven is like a modern day take on having a cast iron pot bubbling over an open fire.

The added beauty of matte colors

Matte gray colors are contemporary country chic.

Matte colors, as opposed to glossy, have the added benefit of hiding dirt and oil better. Family homes with kids will appreciate matte colors being able to hide the inevitable oily finger and handprints of kids running about the house.

Express your personal style

Just because it’s trendy, doesn’t mean it suits your style. Personal style is the biggest trend of all. It is what keeps us innovative and always looking for new ways to help our clients design their dream kitchen and bath.

The Hottest Kitchen Design Trends of 2016

Choosing the right gray tones for the kitchen

Our designers are constantly on the lookout for the latest trends and design ideas. When we look to the future of kitchen design, a few trends are sticking out. If you want to give your kitchen an upgrade and make it more modern, consider a few of the latest trends in kitchen design.

Remodeling your kitchen in Denver
Your cabinetry doesn’t all have to be the same color, as long as they are complimentary.

Mixing complementary colors

You don’t want to overwhelm our kitchen with too many colors, but you also don’t want to make it dull by matching every countertop and cabinet door. A modern, but rustic, kitchen trend is mixing the colors of your cabinetry. The colors should be complementary, but having the cabinets a different complementary color than the drawers can add dimension and vitality to your kitchen. It can also make it look like it was something you did on a whim one weekend when you had the cabinetry custom designed to fit your kitchen and your color palate.
Light and bright colors are often matched to create the illusion of more space. A brightly colored kitchen will also seem more inviting and invigorating.

Sustainable materials for Colorado kitchens

Sustainability

For the Colorado home, the country feel is bringing back the old wooden countertop for a more homey feel. Plus, a wooden countertop is much more sustainable than other materials. Sustainability and environmental responsibility are at the forefront of all interior design, from the kitchen to the bath to every other room in the house.

Opening up your kitchen

Any little trick that can be used to make your kitchen feel bigger and more spacious is right on trend. A few big cabinet, as opposed to rows of little cabinets, give the illusion of having more space. Shelves or cabinets with glass doors exposing the back wall can also be effective in making your kitchen feel bigger, rather than rows of cabinets taking up all the space.

Planning and Designing the Perfect Kitchen

Benefits of visiting a kitchen showroom

Planning and designing a kitchen

There’s a lot that goes into designing the perfect kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it should reflect your lifestyle. A kitchen is both functional and fashionable. Our design experts are meticulous in helping your plan and design your dream kitchen.

Too many cooks in the kitchen

Cooking as a family is a great way to spend quality time, but if your kitchen is cramped or poorly designed, you can feel like there are too many cooks in your kitchen. It’s an old adage, but our design experts would say that there is no such thing as too many cooks, just poorly designed kitchens.

When we sit down to help you plan out your new kitchen, it’s not just about your favorite color or the type of cabinet that you like; it’s about suiting your new kitchen to your lifestyle and the way you live as a family. If you often have five people in the kitchen rinsing, peeling, chopping, and cooking, then our experts will help you work with the space you have to help accommodate all the cooks that you want in your kitchen.

With the kitchen being a drawing point for guests and visitors, it’s important to consider whether “hanging in the kitchen” is something that you want to encourage or discourage. Maybe you like to cook alone while everyone else is in the next room. If that’s the case, you don’t have to create a space in your kitchen for entertaining. However, if you don’t want to miss out on the fun because you’re stuck preparing food for your guests, then we can help you create a comfortable hang-out space.

Choosing appliances and cabinets for kitchen
How you grocery shop will affect the design of your kitchen.

Choosing appliances

Your shopping habits also come into consideration. Of course, a bigger family is going to shop for more food and will require storage space and refrigeration, but some families shop in bulk, some shop for a whole week, and others shop as they need to shop – a little here and a little there. However you like to shop, we want to know, as it is all taken into consideration when we plan your new kitchen.

To do our job right, we need to get to know our clients, their habits, likes and dislikes, and lifestyle. It’s not every day you can afford, or have the time, to remodel your kitchen. Make sure you fill out our kitchen design questionnaire so that our design experts can help you plan and design a kitchen to fit your lifestyle and your aesthetic style.

The Kitchen Showcase Gives Back to the Denver Community

Community outreach by The Kitchen Showcase in Denver

Every day, we help our clients design a kitchen that can be the hub of the home, a place of family, comfort, security, and love. We recognize that not every person or family has the means to do this, and we are so proud to have partnered with The Lion Project and other partners to help Excelsior – a center for troubled youth in Denver, Colorado.

Giving back to Denver youth

Excelsior Youth Center helps adolescents that have experienced some form of trauma during critical developmental periods in their lives. Traumatic experiences can range from:

  • Emotional, physical, sexual abuse
  • Pre- or post-natal substance abuse
  • Witness to violence either at home or in their neighborhood
  • Death or loss of loved one

We are proud to help give the Excelsior youth center a fresh, updated look so that they can continue their great work with Denver youth to provide education, behavioral health, primary care, and recreational services to help them reintegrate back into society and live up to their full potential.
