This new construction home in the Clear Creek subdivision in Fayetteville was an absolute joy to work on. Working through each room with the client and designer Karen Baker, the homeowner ended up with a truly personalized home with great finishes. The countertops were mostly granite with some quartz mixed in.

Kitchen: Traditional Treasure

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen

We found a place in another room for the small antique tall cabinet our clients had been using for display, and in its place we designed a wall of furniture-style cabinets to add storage, house some special pieces and serve as a buffet/beverage bar. The backsplash is antique mirror. Photography by Ehlen Creative.

We gutted the 1918 craftsman home and added to it, keeping all the wood floors and duplicated original woodwork where necessary. With a new kitchen, living and master suite, the house maintains its original character but enjoys a new life. We kept the original masonry fireplace but opened the two front rooms to each other with cased openings. We added a new stair and opened up the second story to provide two new bedrooms and a bath.

How do I determine my kitchen layout?

If you're starting a kitchen renovation, now is a great time to create exactly what you want. When it comes to layout, always optimize your space; focus on functionality and how your design can cater to the needs of you and your family. For tight spaces, a galley layout is a great kitchen remodeling option. Since horizontal space is limited, think vertical; stack counters and shelves high up on the walls, and try to find innovative storage containers and double-duty pieces. For larger layouts, try an L-shaped or U-shaped design with a big center island or peninsula. These shapes provide plenty of cabinet and countertop space, and you can add a bar-height counter to the island for an instant eat-in space. Reviewing kitchen with Granite Countertops, Metallic Backsplash and Stone Tile Backsplash pictures and photos is a great way to get a feel for different kitchen layouts and help you decide what you want. Another essential kitchen remodel essential to consider is the work triangle, which is a 70-year-old concept that is still highly utilized within the design world today. A simple idea that can save both time and energy, the work triangle connects the three main work areas: the sink, the stove and the refrigerator. As a general guideline, the distance between these areas should be no less than 4 feet and no larger than 9 feet. The sum of all three sides of the triangle should be between 13 feet and 26 feet. Given how highly effective this utilitarian design is, definitely take it into account when considering kitchen designs.

How can I add more kitchen storage?

Kitchen designs can be a complex undertaking given the sheer amount of items that the room usually contains. In order to store and organize all your cookware, bakeware and small appliances, you need cabinets, drawers and shelves to spare. To maximize your space, you can include cabinets in your island, purchase spice racks, install hanging pot racks, insert pullout storage and invest in a cart. You want to achieve clutter-free countertops, so also consider spaces you may never have before, such as corners or under the sink. You can also free up some space by storing infrequently used items outside of actual kitchens, like in storage rooms or basements.
