KITCHENS.
When you renovate or remodel a kitchen, the glittering finishes and that WOW factor we see on HGTV or Instagram only tells half the tale.
Ultimately, your kitchen should feel like an extension of your personality — open-concept for the social butterflies, and maybe a more ‘broken-concept’ layout for those who value privacy and don’t want to retreat to a bedroom just to recharge.
Back in the late 90’s, people started knocking down walls separating the living room and the kitchen so they could talk with their friends and meal prep at the same time. Others did it to watch their baby playing with blocks on the living room rug. Corporate builders found open-concept homes sold quicker on the market – so they followed the sentiment, and started building homes with fewer walls.
Even today, while some people love the flow of a fully open floor plan, others feel that a ‘broken-concept’ design adds more character and depth to a house – a design philosophy where traditional room separations meets modern ‘farmhouse’ principles.

When so much of our time at home is spent around the kitchen, thoughtful design plays a pivotal role in the quality of life we experience.
