Smart Storage Solutions

When it comes to storage, it seems like there’s no such thing as “too much.” However, not all storage is created equal. While any cupboard might do for seasonal or rarely used items, having your go-to needs within reach can make life run a little more smoothly. Pull-out pantry shelves and drawers can make reaching for your regular necessities like spices or utensils a more seamless experience without taking up any extra space. Prioritizing vertical storage solutions can also help you save on floor space. If you want to take your storage to the next level, consider adding drawer dividers and organizers. They’ll help maintain all your stuff in the right place, no matter how often you’re opening up the drawers, and tidying up simpler.  

Multi-Functional Kitchen Islands

Islands are a staple in Hamilton kitchen renovations because of how much functionality they can add to a space. A new kitchen island can serve multiple purposes while still allowing you to maintain an open floor plan, making the kitchen brighter and more welcoming. By adding a bar or breakfast nook with extra seating you can make your kitchen a social hub for your family to gather outside of a formal dining setting. Additionally, a kitchen island can provide you with more countertop space to work above and adding storage space below. You can even install built-in appliances so that your kitchen appliances are not all crammed in one small space against the wall. This can help navigate the flow of your kitchen when you’re working. The specialists at Rose Building Group can help you add a kitchen island that fits your specific needs by customizing the design, size, and storage possibilities.

Tech-Savvy Appliances

Who doesn’t need an extra hand in the kitchen? Having smart appliances in your kitchen can make everyday activities like cooking far less time-consuming or stressful. For example, smart ovens can allow you to start pre-heating from your phone, regardless of where you are. Many also have sensors to help you cook your food to perfection, without having to constantly check in on it. Meanwhile a smart fridge can let you know when you’re running low on your favourite products, and alert you when your humidity levels are off or a door has been left ajar. You may also want to consider voice activated faucets that sync right to your home assistant. These allow you to dispense exact amounts and wash your food soiled hands without having to clean the taps after. For maximum functionality when you’re cooking, add some under-cabinet lighting with motion sensors as they can illuminate your workspace, but only when it’s in use.

Statement Lighting Fixtures

Lighting is the ultimate mood setter, however you still need to make sure it serves a functional purpose. That’s why lighting placement can make so much of a difference. Having a pendant light over your kitchen island can make it a focal point, without the harsh glare of overhead lighting. This gives your island space a more welcoming tone without sacrificing visibility in the kitchen. Similarly, LED strip lighting can serve as the ultimate ambience, especially around the outline of the space. They highlight your kitchen, giving off a warm and stylish impression without being a burden on your power usage. You can even choose to colour changing lights for a distinctly fun atmosphere.

Luxury Touches

The key with having luxury touches in your renovation, is knowing where they’ll have the most impact, both stylistically and functionally. Quartz or marble countertops are often considered a chic addition as they tend to stand out immediately, but did you know that they can also be the pragmatic choice? Quartz and marble are both very durable and easy to clean materials that are designed to last, making them ideal for anyone who’s consistently working in the kitchen. Designer range hoods and stylish backsplashes are another utilitarian way to upgrade your kitchen’s style. A tasteful backsplash or tile and can tie in the entire room, either as a statement piece or a complimentary one. Similarly, your range hood helps bring the eye upwards filling the vertical space.
