We all love our kitchens. They are our source of delicious meals and happy family time, but the constant heavy use they get takes a toll on its condition and eventually, kitchen issues begin to appear out of nowhere.

What's New in Contemporary Kitchen Cabinet Styles?

Contemporary cabinet door styles — Contempra Horizontal cabinet door style by Kitchen Crafts.

When it comes to materials that we use in the home, nothing is more popular than natural wood. However, there are so many wood species to choose from, and so many colors, styles, and textures to consider. Although wood has been used since the dawn of time for cabinetry and furniture, there are always new styles that pop up. The newest trend in contemporary kitchen cabinets is horizontal grain cabinet door styles.

Why wood grain matters

There are many factors to consider when choosing a wood. The strength, durability, flexibility, and natural color are important, but one thing that many tend to overlook is the grain pattern of the wood. Each wood has a unique grain pattern, and some are more pronounced than others. A smooth and straight grain pattern will make for a more modern look, whereas a more pronounced grain pattern will make your style more rustic. You have to consider the grain pattern to make sure that it will enhance the design, not create chaos or distract from your design.

Horizontal grain cabinet door styles

For a smooth and contemporary cabinet door style, the horizontal grain pattern is becoming more popular. The straight horizontal pattern goes well with a sleek, minimalist contemporary interior decorating style. We’ve got three contemporary and modern slab cabinet door styles from Kitchen Crafts featuring the trendsetting horizontal grain.

NatureKast Weatherproof Outdoor Kitchens for Colorado Homes

Best outdoor kitchens in Colorado — NatureKast kitchens have the look and feel of real wood.

As you’re sitting inside in the warmth of your home daydreaming about garden parties, why not make those daydreams into a reality? Now is the perfect time to start planning and designing an outdoor kitchen for your Colorado home. For an elegant and weather-proof outdoor kitchen, check out the latest styles by NatureKast.

NatureKast Outdoor Kitchens

When you design an outdoor kitchen for a Colorado home you have to think about durability and weather resistant materials. Your outdoor kitchen needs to be able to maintain its beauty and integrity in all types of weather. That’s why we recommend NatureKast outdoor kitchens for Colorado homeowners. NatureKast products are weatherproof, while still having the look and texture of real wood.

Wood finish that thrives outdoors

NatureKast outdoor kitchens in Colorado — Hi-density resin looks like real wood, but won’t warp, fade, or crack in the outdoors.

Until now, outdoor kitchen design has steered clear of real wood. Wood is temperamental. Being an organic product, wood will react to changes in weather and temperature. And because this is an outdoor kitchen, you don’t have the luxury of maintaining a consistent climate to protect the materials. Using real wood outdoors will require too much maintenance to make it worth your while. But with NatureKast products, you get cabinets that imitate real wood but won’t warp, fade, or crack like real wood.

Hi-density resin system

NatureKast has come up with a hi-density resin system that is revolutionizing outdoor kitchens. The hi-density resin system perfectly replicates natural wood. Your neighbors will be astounded by your new outdoor kitchen with elegant wood cabinets that are customized to fit all of your outdoor appliances like BBQ’s, refrigerators, slide-out trash bins, and sinks.

Door styles and finishes

Outdoor kitchen in Colorado — NatureKast has a wide range of door styles and finishes.

The latest styles by NatureKast features a modern, sleek mocha matte finish. It’s simple and beautiful and perfectly compliments the outdoor setting. But we have an extensive product range, so you will be able to find the right finish and cabinet door style to create your dream outdoor kitchen.

How to Survive Your Kitchen Remodelling

Hand craften wooden kitchen counter tops

If you want your kitchen remodeled while you’re staying home, you really want to read our tips!

You finally made up your mind, and you have taken the next step in enhancing your home’s appearance and value.
It is true that remodeling any space or room in your house is an uncomfortable situation, especially, the kitchen. It is a vital area, and we always want it clean and neat. Nonetheless, we have several tips and suggestions to share that can make the remodeling process more bearable. In the end, the reward will be fabulous.

If you are staying home during the kitchen remodel, you might want to keep this in mind:

Make a list of those places you would like to try.

You are not the only one with big plans for the holidays. There are a bunch of places and things to do in the city and all around. If your kitchen is being remodeled, this is the perfect opportunity to try all those restaurants and hot all the fairs. So weeks before the remodeling begins, start making your list. If it’s a nicer place, book early and don’t leave busy days to chance, you will want a reservation if you want to get in.

2. Have a temporary kitchen.

You can set up a temporary kitchen in a “guest room” that doesn’t get much use. If you have small kids, you could have them share rooms while the remodeling takes place. Make it fun; it doesn’t have to feel like a sacrifice.
Your garage is a good option too if it’s insulated. The tools can be repacked, and one of the cars can sleep outside for a little while. It’s worth it if it means a place to cook, right? Surely your spouse will willingly sacrifice.

3. Freeze stuff ahead of time

Another useful tip is to cook a lot before the remodeling begins and stock the fridge and freezer with meals. You will need a meal plan for this. Going out at night is pretty fun, but nothing beats a delicious homemade dinner.

4. Fire up the Grill

Take advantage of a nice weather and fire up the grill. Nothing brings friends and family together like an outdoor meal. Make fun meals for the kids and have a couple of fun activities in line, that will get them unplugged from their mobile devices at least for a few hours.

5. Make sure no one gets hurt

Thought we’d just mention it. This may mean, communicating in advance where you’d like the installers to keep all tools and materials neatly. You may or may not want those organized and stored in your new cabinets. Communicate that clearly before it drives you crazy. Especially if you’re already using any extra space as a temporary kitchen.

6. Review appliance delivery dates

Usually, the garage is a good location to store any big boxes that might get delivered if they are not ready to be installed. It’s no biggie when a house is empty because they can even sit in a hallway. But if you’re undergoing the remodeling process while you’re still inside, a box with your new oven right across from your bedroom door, may not be your idea of ideal storage. So make sure to communicate clearly on delivery dates, to make the process as smooth as possible.
Hopefully, these tips will help you survive your kitchen remodeling if you have any questions feel free to contact us anytime.

Planning & Designing Your Custom Kitchen

Planning a custom kitchen is a complex process since there are multiple factors to consider, and the design team at The Kitchen Showcase are here to help point which deserves the most attention. With years of experience designing custom kitchens in Denver, Colorado and surrounding areas, The Kitchen Showcase has come up with a checklist that is sure to help you save both time and money when planning your space.

Style of Design: Custom kitchens can come in all styles and designs, ranging from traditional to modern/contemporary. You will want to select a design that best fits your home and matches your lifestyle.
Color Selection: Much like the design of your custom kitchen, the color you select will help to set the atmosphere and tone of your room. Colors can match those of your home, or they can be bold and modern to add a twist to a traditional home.
Countertop Finishes: Countertops come in a wide variety of shapes and materials, ranging from the cheaper laminate options to more expensive solid quartz and granite. The designers at The Kitchen Showcase can help you select a few options that will fit the style of your kitchen, as well as offer options at varying price points.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets & Cupboards: Much like your countertops, kitchen cabinets and cupboards come in a variety of materials. Depending on your budget, you can select to have custom kitchen cabinets built from high-end solid wood, or you could have prefabricated ones installed instead. Materials and colors are easily interchangeable, giving you unlimited options when it comes to selecting which designs you prefer.
Amount of Refrigerator Space Needed: When designing a custom kitchen be sure to note the size of the refrigerator that you plan on installing. This is one of the largest and most important appliances in your kitchen, so you will want to be sure that your design plan allows the right amount of space for it to sit. The placement of your refrigerator will also dictate the setup of your kitchen cabinets and counters, so be sure that you have selected a location that you are satisfied with.
Sinkware and Location: Much like your refrigerator, you will want to carefully plan out the location of your sink, as it can be difficult to relocate in the future. Are you looking to install a smaller single bowl sink, or will you be in need of a larger double-bowl sink with two drains? Many like to locate the sink near to, or in front of a window, and it could mean that a new window must be installed to meet your needs.
Appliances: Having already selected the desired location for your refrigerator and sink, take the time to map out where you would like to place other kitchen appliances, such as a stove, dishwasher or icebox. These tend to take up possible cabinet space, so do take the time to think about where certain things should be located. Must your stove be placed an arm’s length of your sink? Are you looking to have your dishwasher close to your cupboards? You want your kitchen to flow, and by understanding how each appliance accompanies one another, you can better decide what needs to be close to one another.

It is a lot of work, we know, but by talking with the designers at The Kitchen Showcase you can give professional advice as to how you can better lay out your space. Designing a custom kitchen in Denver has never been easier, so give the team at The Kitchen Showcase a call today to get your dream kitchen underway.
