“LOOK DOWN! I LOVE THAT STORAGE SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO GET SMARTER AND LOWER! BASE CABINETS ARE A GREAT WAY TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF STORAGE YOUR KITCHEN CAN PROVIDE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR WALL SPACE IS LIMITED BY WINDOWS OR AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN. RECENTLY, WE’VE SEEN A HUGE SHIFT IN FOCUS WHEN IT COMES TO ORGANIZATION. PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER HIDING THEIR ‘STUFF’ BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, BUT INSTEAD LOOKING FOR BETTER AND MORE PRACTICAL WAYS TO ORGANIZE, WHICH ISN’T ALWAYS AT EYE-LEVEL. MY ADVICE: USE DRAWERS WHENEVER YOU CAN.”

“I LOVE ELIMINATING THE UPPER CABINETS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO OPEN UP THE SPACE. IT ALSO GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE A BEAUTIFUL TILE OR BACKSPLASH RUNNING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE CEILING.”

“WE ARE ALL ABOUT STATEMENT LIGHTING IN THE KITCHEN! WHILE FUNCTIONAL LIGHTING IS A MUST, GO FOR FIXTURES THAT ALSO SPEAK TO YOU. THINK OF THIS AS THE JEWELRY IN YOUR ROOM.”

“NATURAL WOOD DETAILS IN KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT ON THE SIDELINES FOR A WHILE, AS PEOPLE WERE OBSESSED WITH WHITE-ON-WHITE . . . ON WHITE. NOW WE’RE STARTING TO REALIZE (ALBEIT, SLOWLY) THAT ONE WAY TO WARM UP A SPACE IS BY USING WOOD TONES. THIS DESIGN TIP IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR THOSE WHO AREN’T INTO COLOR AND PREFER TO STAY NEUTRAL.”
