Black-and-White Kitchens
AreTimeless
The look may change as styles evolve, but the
appeal of a black-and-white kitchen never dies.
It’s all about high contrast — this design juxta-
poses white wood cabinets with an ebony black
island.
Almost any color stone countertops will en-
rich the final results, but it also benefits from
the tension between country and modern.
Warm rustic hardwood floors are an effective
counterpoint to sleek cabinet materials.

NeutralsAreAll the Rage
“Keeping a kitchen to a neutral palette allows
you to personalize it to reflect your style,”
“This kitchen in off-whites and beiges can be
matched to be on trend with any wall or decor
colors.The white and off-white palette is clean
and sophisticated. Especially when the new
kitchen is replacing dated oak or walnut cabi-
nets. It’s a welcome change and even enlarges
the room visually.
Accessorize to your hearts content.The real
treat in this traditional kitchen is the rustic
subway backsplash.

TRANSITIONAL STYLE
The‘Mutt’ of Kitchen Style
“Keeping a kitchen neutral in terms of style real-
ly isn’t that difficult. Simply choose any style that
speaks to you and use it.The color palette can
run the gamut too.
Years ago, you were not to use‘traditional styled’
elements with‘contemporary style’ and vise-ver-
sa.Today, anything goes. Straight lines, curved
arches, black, white, earth-tones, etc.
The results are a bold and beautiful kitchen that’s
as eclectic and unique as you are.

TRADITIONAL STYLING
Marry the Kitchen toYour
Home’s Style
Gone are the days when kitchens were just
kitchens — now they’re so pretty they could
be any room of the house, says designer JoAnn
Alston.
Here we have a custom hutch for an unexpect-
ed traditional look that combines the same
door style of the kitchen but a different finish
to give the look of having been acquired over
time rather than purchased all at once.
The mixed green and cherry tones are typical
of European traditional styling and the coun-
tertops complement the rest of the kitchen’s
decor, offering a rich, yet cozy look that never
strays far from furniture quality.

Cambria® & Zodiaq®
Countertops
Along with natural stone, quartz countertops
continue to be tops. Cambria is very popular
and Zodiaq recently introduced a line of six
neutral colors to its durable quartz counter-
tops palette.
Shown is the grayish-beige “Linen,” whose
subtle color gradation lends itself well to sleek
contemporary designs. Both are nonporous and
are resistant to heat, quartz countertops are
also resistant to spills and scratches, making
them a smart choice for families or busy cooks.

COUNTERTOP VARIETY
Mixing Countertop Colors
If you’re in the market for a fashion-forward
countertop, granite or quartz are your only
choices.This kitchen combines the warmth of
two popular granite colors, that compliment
each other and are the best of both color pal-
ettes.
When considering mixing countertop colors,
or even materials, make sure they a) both com-
plement the cabinetry and b) complement each
other. Expanding your palette colors is done all
the time, just make sure the colors are repeated
some where else in the overall design.

tertops & NewVenetian Gold on the island.

ty ever since.

MAXIMIZE STORAGE
A Place for Everything...
Kitchen storage is always an issue, especial-
ly for apartment dwellers or any homeowner
whose kitchen is short on space.To remedy
this, kitchen storage manufacturers are dou-
bling up storage in new ways. Creating custom
kitchens with clever multi-tiered drawers and
roll outs.
The trick is to create easy assess to what you
own and decide how you will store it for con-
venient access later. Carefully consider this
challenge because poorly organized spaces
often become daily irritations, impeding the
pleasure of being at home.
Kitchen’s top the list of custom storage solu-
tions, designed to fit the items that the space
will hold. Pot drawers, tray dividers and spice
or trash roll outs.

BACKSPLASHES
Take it to the Ceiling
Continuous tile, glass, stone, solid surface and
porcelain are all showing larger wall coverage
and going all the way up!
Ask any kitchen designer about the future of
backsplashes, and the response will be “cover
the whole wall.”
Not too long ago, the countertop material
continued only 4” vertically, up the wall.Then
began the tile or painted portion and that only
went under the cabinets.
Now, it’s all about high-end materials and high
places. Overlayed stones on the entire main
walls of the kitchen cabinets is really a sophis-
ticated look and can be done in any size and
styled kitchen.
