The best height and location for a microwave oven depends on the chef and the degree of kid-friendliness desired in the kitchen. For adults, 15 inches above countertop level is a good microwave height. For kids, a below-countertop setup might be safer and more suitable.To make cabinet and appliance doors fully functional, plan space for the door's clearance and swing direction in your kitchen design. Keep appliances away from corners, and make sure doors won't bang into each other if open at the same time. Utilize an empty corner, add a partition, or accommodate an office nook in your kitchen. Families in need of extra workspace can incorporate both dinner and homework in the same room. Whether tucked away in a corner or in the middle of your countertop, a kitchen office should include comfy seating, shelving, and storage. We have a team of kitchen designers and remodelers and we will help you to make your kitchen dreams a reality.
Gone are the days of cold, all-white kitchens. Today's kitchen designs are more in tune with nature, with eco-friendly, organic materials especially popular. Incorporate wood, bamboo, linen, marble, and other natural materials. Mix and match textures to create a layered look that adds warmth, depth, and style.
Think of the section of wall between the countertop and the cabinets as a canvas where you can express your personality. Subway tiles offer a traditional look, unless they are oversized, you lay them vertically, or arrange them in a herringbone pattern. Tiny mosaic patterns are pretty, but the grout lines are harder to clean.
Of course, there are many other options, including glass, metal, stone, mosaic, embossed ceramic, and other tiles—and non-tile options such as beadboard paneling or metal ceiling tiles. Choose something that reflects your taste—but that’s also widely appealing and easy to maintain so it won’t turn off buyers when you put the house on the market someday. We have a team of professional designer that will help to bring life a digital version of your future kitchen and our kitchen experts will work o nthe entire process of transforming your current kitchen into a new space.

How much you can afford to get the kitchen you want.
The quality of kitchens in other houses in your neighborhood.
How long you plan to stay in your home. If you’re looking for payback at resale, consider this: How much you should be willing to spend on any major renovation is related to the value of that room as a percentage of your overall house value.
