Why You Need a Kitchen Overhaul?

Getting a tax refund soon? Maybe its time to tackle that kitchen renovation you have been waiting to do. In most homes the kitchen is where your family gathers when they come home; eating, cooking, entertaining, doing homework, the home office and any else you can imagine. Being that it is such a high-traffic area making it to be attractive, functional and easy to clean should be everyone’s priority. To make your kitchen overhaul earth friendly, go green with your kitchen.

Kitchen Trends

Through the decades there are often trendy ways to design and decorate your kitchen; in the 70’s it was the pea green and orange walls, in the 80’s those famous glass blocks, the 90’s you had to have cool flooring and at the start of the new millennium we focused on granite countertops. Now we focus on being worldly and eco-friendly. Here are some trends in 2010:

1. Glass Tiles – These tiles are durable and easy to maintain and come in a range of colors and have properties only glass can accomplish with clear, opaque, transparent pieces.

2. Color – Go bold in the heart of your home in Aztec clay colors like copper, henna, ginger, gold, apricot and red or turn to your nature loving side and paint the walls in silver blue, gray green or tobacco brown.

3. Flooring – Stay traditional with tile, go country with recycled wood or modernize with stained concrete.
