Keep It Open
Kitchens that are open to other rooms – especially the Family Room is a trend in kitchen design and remodeling
Flooring
As in the rest of the home hardwood is the top flooring choice for the kitchen, especially sustainable wood products that tie in with an effort to be eco friendly
Tile Backslpashes
Tile backsplashes are far and away the top choice over other materials such as marble and stone. Tile provides an easy way to provide a colorful accent to the kitchen
