Rouse Projects in Calgary is a professional general contractor company with experience in custom projects. They share some tips and ways to give your kitchen a custom makeover:
Build your own flow
A custom kitchen should be designed around how you use the space and what layout best accommodates your needs. That may mean building various islands to create multiple food stations or lower cabinets for easy storage access. Working with a trusted general contractor like Rouse Projects will ensure you get the proper layout and function for your home.
Storage is always relevant.
Another key feature of many custom homes is the presence of clever storage spaces and areas throughout the house. The kitchen should have its own creative setup of storage options. There are plenty of options within a kitchen to create those custom storage areas. Large lower-level drawers, pull-outs, coffee bars hidden behind doors, or storage built into an island can all maximize the space.
Light it up
Don’t just rely on a single source of overhead lighting in your kitchen. Instead, install a mix of styles within the space that can lend themselves to different uses. A spread of different lights and styles also helps make the room feel bright and welcoming. Under-cabinet lighting is a must and makes food prep more accessible, especially when working with detailed creations. Dimmer lights can lend themselves to dining, entertaining, and setting the room in a festive mood. Eye-catching light fixtures over the island can also add a unique décor touch to dress up the space.
Elevate the hardware
The (not so) secret touch to a good custom kitchen is to emphasize the details, specifically the hardware and ‘faucet.’ While these may be little details compared to cabinets or appliances, they play a big role. Something like a warm-toned metal, like brass, can bring warmth throughout the room. A striking black matte faucet or cabinet handles help guide the eye around the room and make it feel grand and spacious. That is also a great way to draw in other colours or material elements around your home. Keeping custom themes unique to yourself consistent throughout helps keep a sense of ‘you’ throughout your home.
