What Makes a Kitchen Feel Like Home?

Spaces that breathe

The focus is not on fancy spaces It’s about creating places where conversations can flow as easily like your meal preparation routines. Children can work on the kitchen counter while you cook dinner.

Gadgets with A Purpose

The appeal of technology is unquestionable. But it’s not just an intelligent fridge, perhaps it’s that old coffee maker your grandmother gifted you as well as the cooker that’s been through thousands of cookies. Save the memories that are there and only add technology to make your life easier.

Love for the Planet

Sustainable choices don’t only meet the needs of the world but also creates an environment that the future generations — — our grandkids and children will cherish. It’s the legacy that we leave to them.

Colors that resonate

The timeless neutrals, however perhaps there’s a shade blue that evokes memories of your childhood home or bright yellow that screams “joy”. You can make your space unique.

Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before Remodeling

The Budget Talk

Above numbers, the discussion is all about prioritizing. Perhaps you’d appreciate a new dishwasher over the latest lighting fixture. Consider what could simplify your day-to-day life.

Function over Form

The gorgeous marble countertop looks stunning but can it withstand your baking experiments or children spilling their drinks?

An Ounce of Expert Advice

We all adore the idea of doing it yourself. However, a coffee chat with a professional (like our helpful team of My SoCal Builders & Design) will save you many hours of Pinterest scrolling.

Small touches can make huge Changes

Storage Secrets

Imagine drawers that can house your particular collection of pots or a corner that can be turned into a comfortable breakfast space.

Layered Lighting

It’s about that gentle glow that comes from a late-night meal as well as the light required to chop vegetables.

Furniture That Tells a Story

An island built out of reclaimed wood or barstools from your college residence. Mix and match your memories.

Sample, Always

Lighting tricks can make a difference. The turquoise may appear like teal in the evening. Always test the samples in your own home setting.
