When it comes to renovating a home, the kitchen is the first room we think about. It’s the entertainment space where everyone gathers for a meal or simply to chat. And luxury real estate properties showcase them in an incredible way. You can find some truly high-end kitchens throughout Napa real estate andHealdsburg real estateproperties. Want to know what kitchen design trends are taking off and going strong? Check them out: Colorful Cabinets You’ve seen the neutral dark blues and emerald greens really popping in luxury real estate kitchens and showrooms. We think it’s about time to start implementing them into your own space – if you’re not afraid to be bold. How can you pull it off? We don’t recommend painting your cabinets yourself as it can damage the cabinet quality. But if you do want to incorporate the colored cabinet look into your Healdsburg real estate or Napa real estate property, try the vibrant cabinetry in just the island or base cabinets. If you do the whole kitchen, then make sure to choose countertops that contrast and on-trend brass or gold hardware. Marbled Quartz We’re big fans of this one. A dramatic and organic look can be achieved with quartz, not just granite. High-end remodels are requesting quartz more often and homeowners are preferring the clean look of bright white counters. Marbled quarts can really look timeless too, so regardless the year, your Napa real estate and Healdsburg real estate will be set. You’ll find examples in luxury real estate homes. Open Shelving This is a great option if you want to make your kitchen look larger, taller, and spacious overall. But, open shelving means careful planning – the items on the shelves should look neat and organized. Choose what you want to display and what you want to hide. There should still be closed cabinets to keep clutter away. The choices for the open shelves can be stunning too – rustic wood, industrial pipes to hold the shelves up, and more. Consider elevating your Napa real estate and Healdsburg real estate with such focal point shelving. Gray It doesn’t have to be drab. In fact, it’s the new neutral look so many crave. It’s a go-to wall color for most and it can be used stunningly in island colors, accent tiles, and more. Because it’s a calm color, you can really use it in many places. White Everything We just mentioned colored cabinets and gray tones but there’s one thing that will always remain – white counters and cabinets and backsplash and everything. The all white trend doesn’t seem to be leaving any time soon. Homeowners still prefer these colors in their kitchens as it creates a clean and crisp look for any luxury real estate home. And when color is added, it pops that much more. Healdsburg real estate and Napa real estate properties utilizing this style will find it to be timeless. Trends come and go but these looks seem to have a timeless elegance. A stunning kitchen sets the tone for your home. Kitchen remodels are the most common for a reason and your home’s value can vouch for it. We see it in high-end Napa real estate and Healdsburg real estate properties. Stay up to date with the latest and view our exclusive listings to see whatluxury real estateproperty trends are really taking off. ...read more
