Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling Trends for 2011!

There are exciting new trends in 2011 for Charlotte homeowners and their kitchen remodeling plans!  The trends that we are seeing develop for 2011 and beyond appear to retain value and are more popular trends across most people’s particular interests, which bodes well for resells!

So let’s look at what we see as the top kitchen remodeling trends for 2011:

Top Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling Trends

1.  Going “Green” is the most trendy kitchen style.  And this “green” is actually the color green.  Although appliance choices are still selected with the environment and energy use in mind, the color green has emerged as the popular trend.  Shaker design (which we love in Charlotte!) is a close second trending choice.

2.  Stainless Steel is the most trendy cabinetry.  Recycled materials, maple, and then birch are the next choices for kitchen cabinetry.

3.  Reclaimed Wood is the most trendy floor.  Reclaimed wood is a great choice for giving your kitchen a warm and inviting feel.  Bamboo (very environmentally popular) and wood floors are second and third.

4.  Engineered Stone is the most trendy counter top  .  Now you get into the discussion of whether Corian or Silestone is the better choice.  We’ll let you make that decision!  Concrete was second and granite was the third choice in this trend.

5.  Pullout Spray Style is the most trendy faucet.  Second was stainless steel and third was the single-handle faucet. 

6.  Metal is the most trendy refrigeration.  By far, metal is the top trending choice in kitchen appliances.  It’s the designer look of metal that is most appealing.

7.  Induction Cook top is the most trendy cooking option.  Gas was second and the wall oven was trending in third place.

8.  Table as Island is the most trendy kitchen island.  A cooking center was second and a standard kitchen island was trending third.  The “table as island” is a great way to bring the family together in the center of the kitchen cooking action!

Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling & Charlotte Jack and Jill Bathroom Remodeling Projects!

By far, the most popular rooms in any house to remodel are the kitchen and bathroom.  And if you really think about it, these two rooms contain most of your home’s unique comforts and conveniences!

A really popular remodeling trend we are seeing today is the transformation of old closet space and an existing smaller bathroom  into Jack-and-Jill type bathrooms.  These bathrooms are usually connected on both ends to smaller bedrooms. 

The Jack-and-Jill bathroom is very popular with young families who have children who need to share a bathroom, and the connecting feature of the bathroom to both rooms is ideal!  Not to mention the potential return on investment when it comes time to sell your home down the road.

Lots of common Jack and Jill bathroom designs feature a double bathroom vanity. This kind of bathroom vanity includes two sinks, which means that more than one person can use the sink area at the same time. Many of these bathrooms are set up as “couple’s bathrooms” with separate storage spaces for each member of the couple, as well as separate towel racks for monogrammed or color coded towels.

Turning an existing bathroom into a connecting jack-and-jill style bathroom is a great project!  There are many new bath fixtures and options to privacy now available in this jack-and-jill style of bathroom.  If you are thinking about remodeling an existing bathroom, or adding a new one, please call Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email him at cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com for a free in-home consultation and estimate!

Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling Contractor - Beautiful Kitchens!

Kitchen remodeling in Charlotte is probably the most requested remodeling job from our homeowner customers. And we love kitchen remodeling!

The kitchen for so many families is the central heart and hub of the home. It’s where families come together and grow.

When we start to work with you in planning your kitchen remodel, it helps to know if you prefer a more classic or more modern look. Making that decision will help you start to narrow down choices on everything from wall color to cabinet doors. Picking a very specific design theme, such as French Colonial or Craftsman, gives you even more of a design road map. Mixing and matching styles typically is called eclectic, while a look that blends traditional and contemporary elements is considered transitional.

Kitchen remodels and designs can come in just as many styles as their are choices:

• Arts & Crafts
• Contemporary
• Country
• English Cottage
• Federal
• French Country
• Mission
• Modern
• Old World
• Rustic
