Modern Kitchen Designs: Grey Shaker Kitchen

Our new Grey Shaker Kitchen offers the best from our Award Winning Designers at Dream Kitchens! Each aspect of this kitchen is phenomenal yet functional in its design. The ambience is calm, modern and serves to enhance every aspect of of the homeowners life. This kitchen embraces the simplicity of modern kitchen designs while having traditional materials like brick which support the stainless steel oven and microwave.

The standout feature here is the newly installed kitchen island. Our designers crafted this island to fit the unique shape of the kitchen. The front end extends outward slightly to accommodate up to 3 people. As with all of our Dream Kitchen islands, the additional prep and storage space offers an excellent solution to store all those large pots and pans discreetly. The island is placed directly in front of the stove and oven. Imagine cooking a large meal and having ALL your ingredients lined up on the island, increasing the comfort and ease of cooking! A light blue stool gently contrasts the cool grey monotone palette.

Every Dream Kitchen guarantees to add more storage and prep space! The floor-to-ceiling cabinets offer another incredible way to fulfil our promise. Pull out drawers offer a convenient way to organize plates and dishes while the cabinets store spices, snacks and other pantry items. Two over head cabinets are noticeable at the end. One cabinet hangs just above the coffee maker, making it the perfect spot to store coffee, tea or snacks for the morning rush. The larger overhead cabinet is installed just next to the microwave and oven, allowing for baking supplies to be conveniently within reach.

The owner choose to install recessed lighting. This choice adds a distinctly modern touch and creates a calm ambience atmosphere. The sink offers a utilitarian approach to comfort and ease of use. The faucet is stainless steel, a popular choice among our clients. One classic Dream Kitchen’s touch separates the stove and oven. Look closely and see how this choice creates a unique space to store pots, pans, spices and any cooking equipment directly under the stove.

Country Kitchens: Rustic yet Modern!

Country kitchens mix modern with rustic touches! These spaces will make you feel like you’re in the countryside no matter where you are. The warm colors invite guests in, and the details will make them never want to leave.

Bring in elements of a rustic farm or cottage with this pleasing, warm style! Details are what makes these spaces. A farmhouse sink or a barn door is a unique addition that you can even pair with more modern finishes. Imagine an earthy red for the barn door accents to really bring home the country appeal! The muted and earthy natural elements serve as a great background to pops of color in any floral patterns or tile backsplashes.

Medium Kitchens By Dream Kitchens

Medium Size Kitchens

Medium size kitchens are typically 100-200 square feet. They are the perfect size for everything you want; big enough to not feel cramped, and small enough to still feel cozy.

Many of our designs transformed the kitchen into a place for family and friends to gather. Medium sized kitchens give space for a large island to dominate while maximizing your storage space with hidden cabinets and drawers. The walls are lined with floor to ceiling pantry cabinets, so you’ll never be out of space. Natural lighting allows these kitchens remain bright and airy, while our strategically placed recessed lighting highlights the beautiful cabinetry.

Our first medium kitchen in the gallery proves that space is no issue! This kitchen feels anything BUT medium. Peninsula that seats 4, a chalkboard and glass cabinets transform this kitchen!

The Design Behind Contemporary Kitchens

Contemporary kitchens change with the times and trends. However, their modern feel is what attracts so many buyers. These kitchens are the epitome of fashion meeting functionality by maximizing storage and counterspace while still keeping the sleek look.

You can really let your artistic side shine through a contemporary kitchen. Full overlay cabinetry with simple hardware is very popular to create seamless lines on your kitchen walls. This acts almost as a blank canvas for you to experiment with statement pieces like using natural stone or wood or even a unique backsplash with mosaic tiles. Pops of color like a deep blue or ruby red can elevate any contemporary kitchen.

The White and Grey Remodel Design

Our White and Grey Remodel is an excellent example of space and style. This large space is excellently redesigned with our Dream Kitchen Designers. We added dimension through a two-toned palette. This kitchen flows together seamlessly to create a welcoming space. Recessed lighting, a custom backsplash, and large countertop space make excellent design choices.

The Cabinets

White shaker cabinets are placed strategically throughout the kitchen. Glass panels elegantly display beautiful cookware or décor. Floor to ceiling pantry cabinets are perfect for all your groceries.

Driftwood-like wood creates a calm atmosphere. We used this wood for the lower drawers and cabinets. The large space feels even more spacious with paneling under the peninsula island. Cool wooden tones compliment the bright white cabinets perfectly.

The Backsplash and Countertop

The custom backsplash ties together the white, grey, and black. Black appliances stand out with the grey matching hood over the stove. Two pendant lights highlight beautiful white and grey granite countertop.

Cabinet Construction Pressboard vs Plywood

dream-kitchens-Nina-Hackel — Nina Hackel Dream Kitchens

For many years it was clear that Plywood cabinet construction was better. In the past, all pressboard was made with sawdust that was pressed and glued together, typically 3/8” thick or less. Now pressboard can come in MDF – Medium Density fibers which is normally 5/8” or ¾”thick and compressed at a much higher pressure and heat. These MDF fibers make the construction as strong as Plywood. In addition, MDF

Kitchen Cabinet Construction

Kitchen cabinet construction is all about the thickness of the walls and construction of the cabinet’s box. Cabinets should have 5/8” or thicker cabinet walls and have a 6” piece of wood in the top front and top back of the cabinet. Think of a cardboard box. It is very easy to twist that box one way or the other with a very little pressure. This is completely unacceptable in cabinet construction for obvious reasons. Cabinets need to be strong and stable. Granite which weighs in the neighborhood of 2,000 pounds will either crack or put so much pressure on the box of a cabinet that the door and drawers will not function properly. This is called racking.
When you are looking for a cabinet, put your hand inside the top drawer on the top. If you can feel a strip of wood that is 6” than you can be pretty sure that it is quality construction. However, if you feel air, this is a poorly constructed box and will not handle granite for any length of time.
