Let’s Talk Kitchens & Baths

Kitchens and baths often show age most in a home. Updating surfaces in those rooms will rejuvenate the space and lend to a renewed vibe in the room. A favorite of ours here at Ciao is the waterfall edge island. We simply love the clean lines! So lets’ talk countertops. Stone often comes to mind in either quartz, granite or even concrete countertops. Pay close attention the the details in the samples you are considering. What colors are in the sample? If it has a vein in it, take into consideration how that would play out in a large slab. Choosing an option with a considerable vein will add as a focal point to the space and add some drama! As always, make sure all colors in the space compliment each other.

When thinking of tile, think outside of the box! Tiled accent walls can add both color and texture as well as make an excellent focal point in a room. Updating your backsplash? Tile shape, matte, or glossy. There are endless options!

Replacing cabinets or painting them will help update the look of your kitchen or bath. Choose a neutral color or go bold with a color as pictured above. Simply replacing cabinet hardware can dress up the look of your cabinets.

Don’t forget the fixtures! Updating fixtures is an easy way to add a more modern touch to a space. Gold fixtures are trending again, but in a more modern burnished finish. This new gold can add an element of warmth. Rather than look to trends, it always comes down to what you personally prefer. That way you will never be disappointed with your choice.
