So, what does doing it right mean?
Are you planning a Chicago kitchen or bathroom remodeling project? While the typical remodeling budget includes things like cabinets, countertops, flooring and other fixtures – it often neglects to create an “emergency” or “contingency” fund for the potential unknown or hidden costs associated remodeling.
It’s true that open floor plans are trending, but it’s also true that YOU may not be interested in current trends - and that's important to note.
For some, open floor plans feel like the solution to a small or cramped home design or the answer for those regularly cook and entertain. For others, open kitchens feel like a nightmare – always having one’s kitchen clutter and dirty dishes exposed for the world to see.
If you’re interested in a remodel using Chicago custom cabinetry then you know it’s going to cost you more than other semi-custom or stock options. However, costs vary considerably even within the upper-tier custom cabinetry world. If budget is a concern, your professional kitchen design and build team can help you save money based on the following factors.
As anyone who’s ever bought or remodeled a home knows, finishes come and go. They are part of those “easy to change out” accents that evolve as trends shift and change. This is one of the reasons we advocate Chicago kitchen and bath remodeling designs that can stand the test of time.
The advent of open showers has truly changed the way your bathroom can look and feel. Open, walk-in showers don’t have an obstructive curb, making them ideal for universal bathroom designs. They keep a bathroom as open and spacious as it could possibly be and a shower without a door allows beautiful tile work to shine - all without a frameless glass door to clean or maintain.
Under-cabinet lighting is a practical and beautiful addition to any Chicago bathroom remodel. In addition to improving bathroom safety and night-lighting, under-cabinet (or under-vanity) lights add a desirable ambiance.
One of the things we love most about natural, hardwood cabinets is their beautiful, wood grain patterns. Like fingerprints, wood grains displayed via Chicago custom cabinets are 100% unique, each tree having its own “print,” so to speak.
Concrete countertops have been a "hot new item" in the Chicago kitchen and bath remodeling sector for a while now. We’ve hesitated to endorse them because while they’re perfect visual accompaniments to modern and contemporary design enthusiasts, we needed more evidence they would last that extra mile.
Cabinetry is one of the most important features in your kitchen design. Since kitchen cabinets comprise the most visual square footage of any other feature, they pack a powerful design punch. More importantly, the overall functionality of your Chicago custom cabinets depends on the design, layout and quality of materials.
