When it comes to dirty rooms in the home, most would guess that the bathroom is prone to be germiest of all the rooms. It turns out; your kitchen is a bigger germ magnate than your bathroom. Since we cook in the kitchen, there are some real health risks to allowing too many germs to build up. So, let’s look at the cleanest kitchen materials to make your kitchen less germy.

Germs in the kitchen

The kitchen is the most popular room in the house, so it’s no wonder that it can also become the dirtiest. Lots of people and perishable items are the perfect combination of germs to gather. You don’t have to be a germaphobe to want to minimize germs in your kitchen. If you’re in the process of remodeling, we’ve got a few tips to keep the germs at bay. The materials you use can help keep your kitchen cleaner and more sanitary.

Non-porous kitchen materials

The key to minimizing germs in your kitchen, besides a regular cleaning routine, is to use non-porous materials. Using materials that are non-porous means that germs won’t penetrate your counters. Since you are constantly exposing your countertops to things that can transport germs, it is important for you to choose countertop materials that will help minimize germs.

Wooden Countertops

Wood is wonderfully organic and beautiful, but when it comes to your countertops, look for something that isn’t going to allow germs to penetrate and fester. There are sealers that can be used to make wood non-porous, but they aren’t permanent. If you wait too long to re-seal, your wooden countertops may already be filled with germs.

Granite vs. Quartz

Stainless Steel

The most common material in a commercial kitchen is stainless steel. It’s a classic and for a good reason. Stainless steel is non-porous and very easy to clean and disinfect after each use. Stainless steel is even finding its way into the modern and traditional kitchen design.

Kitchen storage should look good, make a statement, and be functional. Even the simplest cabinet can be a work of functional art. Here’s how to make your kitchen cabinets the star of your kitchen.

Choosing kitchen cabinets

To make the cabinets the star of your kitchen you need to blend fashion and function. When cabinets are perfectly fitted to your kitchen and your needs, they will add calm and comfort to your kitchen. When things are custom built and fitted it will add to the positive energy in the kitchen. For odd spaces or special kitchen equipment, think about having some cabinets customized.

Adding layers and dimension

Use your cabinets to add layers and dimension to your kitchen. You want to play with size, shapes, and texture to breathe life into your kitchen. If everything is all the same, the kitchen will feel dull and two-dimensional. Using a variety of cabinets and storage spaces, as well as other types of storage like drawers and shelves will make it a more interesting visual.

Hardware

Something as simple as unique and interesting hardware on your cabinets can make your cabinets the star of the kitchen. However, you don’t just want to choose hardware that looks good in your kitchen, you need to choose hardware that is also functional. Before you choose a pull or knob, make sure you get to hold and pull to ensure that it feels comfortable. Hardware can elevate the appeal of your cabinets.

Cabinet doors

A simple cabinet can be made extraordinary by choosing the right cabinet door style. Depending on the rest of the decor and architecture, there are cabinet doors to match every decorative style. You can also vary your cabinet doors, using some solid, and some with glass to further play with texture and dimension. Another popular trend is to have one statement in your kitchen and using a rustic, custom designed barn door instead of a cabinet door will really catch the eye and make your cabinets a functional piece of art.

Designing a man cave for your home hasn’t gone out of style. What has gone out of style is thinking that only men want to have a man cave. Therefore, we’re going to talk about designing a modern-day man cave, henceforth referring to it as a rustic country lounge area, and everyone is invited!

Designing a Rustic Country Lounge Area

Turning your basement or the attic into a comfortable lounge area where you can entertain and relax is a great use of space. It’s like giving yourself a little hideaway. No computers to check your work email, no laundry, and no bills to pay. This room should be like a mini-vacation from the rest of your life.
To keep with the cave metaphor, you will typically try to keep the design rustic and country. Using warm natural tones, leather, and wood is a great way to create a cozy little cocoon where you can escape life.
It’s like having your own ski lodge lounge bar right in your own home. It’s inviting, it’s warm, it’s luxurious, it’s peaceful, and it’s the perfect fall/winter addition to your Colorado home.

Comfortable Seating

Every rustic lounge area should have comfortable seating. There should be couches and chairs that you can sink into as you cozy up with a good book and a hot cup of cocoa. However, the seating can’t be so soft and comfortable that you can’t also sit comfortably and chat with friends, drinking wine and cocktails and watching sports or playing games. Mix up the seating, creating a few different sections for people to hang out.

Lighting

Having different types of lighting for the different lounge section will help create a relaxing ambiance. Of course, you don’t want it to be so dark that you can’t see where you’re going or what move your opponent just made. Play with the texture, shape, size, and brightness of your lighting fixtures and bulbs to create a little excitement in your design.

Reclaimed Wood

Rustic Bar

No lounge and entertainment room is complete without a bar. Take some of the same reclaimed wood and design details to make a bar area that compliments the rest of the design.
Using similar colors and a few textures throughout will bring cohesion to the room. You’ll also want some cool and comfortable bar stools so that you can hang at the bar and keep the bartender company.

Plumbing and Electricity

Make sure that you have access to water for your bar area. You will need a sink and maybe even a dishwasher so you’re not stuck washing dishes in your relaxing lounge room. You’ll also want to have the right outlets and electricity for a refrigerator and freezer.
