KBIS, for the uninitiated, is like Fashion Week for kitchens and bathrooms. Companies are presenting their new and best wares, looking to impress and inspire designers and design fiends alike. But while Fashion Week is all form, KBIS is heavy on the function. Every year, the companies introduce products that aim to make your life easier through Jetsons-style technology. Here’s what’s happening so far: The Builder Buzz At KBIS 2011… The winners are announced ! The winners of the “Best-Of” awards, that is. 500 entries came in across 19 categories, ranging from the simple “Best Kitchen” to more specific ones like “Small Bathroom.” That’s one of the winners in the above photo — Best Bathroom by Holly Rickert of Ulrich, Inc . in Ridgewood, NJ. At KBIS 2011… The stars are out: Great kitchens deserve great chefs, right? The Food Network’s “Cooking for Real” host Sunny Anderson and “Top Chef Masters” winner Rick Bayless are at the show, along with celebrity chef Curtis Stone . Yum! Also attending: Designer Jeff Lewis of “Interior Therapy With Jeff Lewis”, “celebrity carpenter” (who knew that was a title?) Ed Sanders of ” Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ” and the always charming Eric Stromer . Lastly (and perhaps, most surprisingly): Mariel Hemingway , who will present on keeping families healthy through the best local food and products. At KBIS 2011… New product introductions, galore. There’s the NanaWall Kitchen Transition , a custom window-door combo that has the ability to turn your kitchen into an indoor-outdoor paradise. NanaWall Also new, Dacor’s new Distinctive Series , which focuses on affordable luxury in appliances. LG also has announced the new Studio Series a line of energy efficient appliances, from microwaves to dishwashers. And Arne, over at Useful Spaces , has been blown away by a SileStone sink made of a single piece of quartz and the new Hybrid line of outdoor grills from Kalamazoo . Grill with gas, charcoal or wood and have designated areas for fish, beef, chicken and pork. Genius! And just in time for good weather… Want more? Keep checking in on KBIS’s Twitter .

In most households the kitchen has become the center attraction of the home. Whether it is because cooking tends to bring people together, or because the kitchen area serves as a meeting, dining, task and multifunctional area on most days. Depending on your entertaining lifestyle the kitchen may be where you meet with friends over cooking Friday night appetizers or help your teenagers with homework. Here are tips for making your kitchen more multifunctional for you and all of the 100 others functions you’d like to do. Preparation and serving: One of the best uses of a multifunctional kitchen is where food can be prepared, and well as served within the vicinity to maximize effort and space. Especially in small homes, and apartments, maximizing kitchen space is essential. Try and find kitchen counters that can double as task area for food preparation and plating dishes. For larger kitchens, an adjacent counter may be able to double as dining space with adjacent bar stools or chairs. Versatile meets functional: With the onset and popularity of modular furniture and household components, kitchens are no exception. Work spaces housed on casters, or rollers, along with dining room tables that can double, as areas for home office work are great suggestions for the versatile household. Having a multifunctional kitchen also means sharing of space, and function. If you see a great looking work desk in a self-assembly catalog, use it for a dining room table or for a kitchen island. One piece of furniture, can serve many needs. Combine education and leisure: Who says the kitchen has to be only about cooking? Why not incorporate open shelving for cookbooks, leisure and coffee table books for great place to be inspired as well as catch up on the latest recipes and fabulous interior kitchen ideas? Pair up your countertop with handy book shelving and display area below with chairs for enjoying conversation or taking in your favorite novel as you wait for dinner to cook. Combine your intellectual enjoyment with mindless entertainment, all in the comfort of your kitchen. Let your finishes be multifunctional too: When you consider function, also think about multiple ways to make your interior finishes look and perform beautifully together. Add a personalized style into your kitchen with rustic touches like exposed overhead beams, wood floors, or weathered cabinetry. For a modern touch, sleek European cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and glossy lacquered look countertops can make a multifunctional kitchen have new meaning. Your kitchen just got the needed boost you were looking for. By combining form, function, versatility, and leisure areas in your kitchen, cooking may become no longer a chore but a treasured experience. Look at your kitchen and invent ways to incorporate these tips into your home.  You never know how much time you spend in your kitchen until you lose track of time and hours are gone.  Why not enjoy the experience while you’re waiting for your meal?

How to Make your Kitchen More Multifunctional

]]> http://alldiyinfo.com/how-to-make-your-kitchen-more-multifunctional-2/feed/ 0 How your Backsplash can Change your Space http://alldiyinfo.com/how-your-backsplash-can-change-your-space-2/ http://alldiyinfo.com/how-your-backsplash-can-change-your-space-2/#comments Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:21:34 +0000 http://alldiyinfo.com/how-your-backsplash-can-change-your-space-2/ Backsplashes have come a long way from their usual simple tile, or turn up return piece from the countertop. Today backsplashes command attention in the kitchen or bathroom, and are becoming more of a feature than a subtle backdrop. Depending on your décor style you can use a variety of materials, finishes and colors for your backsplash to coordinate with your space. Here are suggestions on how to choose a backsplash that will change your space before your eyes. Don’t just go for the usual: While ceramic or porcelain tile still remain the most common materials chosen for backsplashes there are several other options to choose from.  Mosaic tiles that incorporate glass, ceramic and stones give an artisan feel, and custom mosaics are one of a kind. Glass tile is a beautiful addition to dark kitchens. The reflections of light off of backsplashes keep your kitchen bright and fun to be in. Go bold: Ever wondered how bathrooms and kitchens can be transformed with a simple addition of a great backsplash? Metal backsplashes that use tin or metal ‘looking’ mosaics can add sparkle and a modern appeal. If you enjoy bold colors, opt for sharp contrasting color to the cabinetry or to the countertops. For added drama, use darker grout with metal backsplashes. For a more subtle look, use lighter grout to blend aesthetically. Choose a backsplash that uses a flat surface: In many kitchens, granite slabs, concrete and glass backsplashes are a common substitute to segmented tiles. Flat backsplashes give your eye an uninterrupted view and work well for high ceiling kitchens that have expansive space. When using stone on vertical surfaces, ensure they are installed correctly by a general contractor or stone contractor. Natural stone: For a more rustic look, natural stone can have a more chiseled and uneven feel. This is perfect for bathrooms and kitchens that want an organic and natural aesthetic. Corbelled tile looks more like stone or rock, and doesn’t have any specific pattern. Pair natural stone with travertine, concrete, or slate countertops for a gorgeous and rustic space. Opt for new shapes: A great way your backsplash can change a space is by choosing backsplash patterns that aren’t just rectilinear.  Ceramic and glass tile come in random, polygonal, and shapes that have curves instead of 90 degree angles. Consider using these types of backsplashes where you want to add creative energy and conversation in the room. Kitchens usually gather people in conversation naturally and powder room bathrooms are a place to add dazzle in your home. These spaces are ideal for adding backsplashes that will be unforgettable and talked about long after your guests leave your home! Backsplashes are a nice way to make a space come alive with color, or get subdued with soft tones. Choose your style and be creative. For under cabinet counters, use lighting to brighten the work surface as well as bring your backsplash alive. The most common mistake in putting up a show stopper backsplash is not providing ample light to showcase it! Freshome reader’s what type of backsplash do you like?

Many home sellers forget that you aren’t supposed to “look’ like you live in an overly cramped home! The only way to look the part is by storing your belongings in areas that will not look obvious and therefore unappealing. If you are preparing to sell your home, use these tips to help you put your belongings out of sight… and therefore out of homebuyers minds. Start packing what you don’t need: When you are trying to sell your home, you have two focuses: the house you are selling, and where you are moving. A good way to store belongings is to start packing up items that are not needed for this home, and store boxes neatly in a garage or off site storage rental building.  This process will help you purge and throw out what you don’t need at your next home, while clearing up open and appealing viewing space for homebuyers to see. Packing up sections of the kid’s playroom, basement, and closets are a good place to start. Store and organize beautifully: For many rooms of your home, you may still need to utilize items, for example home offices, kitchens, and bathrooms are all heavily used rooms. The trick in these spaces are to store items in decorative baskets, totes, bins, and utilize container store organizers to beautify your shelves and closets.  This exercise will help you get organized in these heavily trafficked areas, and will help you quickly clean up and have a place for everything when its time to show your home to potential homebuyers. Ask friends and family for help: Every homeowner has a different reason for moving. Whether it is for a job relocation, to be closer to family, or to downsize due to budget constraints.  If you have a lot of large furniture and belongings, ask local neighbors, friends or family to help you store, or even sell your items. Determine if these items will really be needed, and if donating or selling them may be a more viable option. This will help you prepare for your next chapter in your home living, and may put extra money in your pocket! Look at your competition: While this tip isn’t about storage, it is about looking at what your competition is doing about their storage.  Often times home sellers get so involved in the “sell sell sell” mentality that you forget to go and look at who your competition is. Even if this means looking at images on the internet, research how clear and clutter free their homes are.  If you have developer home sites in the area, take a look at the model homes – they can give you inspiration of how open and inviting you want your home to feel like. Once you return to your home, you will have a clear image of what to strive for! Storing belongings in your home while selling can be a challenge, but using these helpful tips will help you get a clearer idea of your goal. Declutter your home first and start making a plan for each room of your home. Start with rooms that have the most “stuff” and dive right in. By time you are ready to put your home on the market, homebuyers will be ready to see a welcoming home, and you will feel ready to accept offers!

From playing out in the yard with the kids, to enjoying neighbors over for a barbecue on the back patio, it’s never too early to start planning. Adding a summer kitchen to your outdoor patio maybe just the piece that is missing from yours! Portable grills are nice, but summer kitchens allow you to plan an entire area for relaxing, preparing and serving food, and it can add value onto your home. Here are tips for choosing amenities for your summer kitchen. Determine your entertaining lifestyle: Summer kitchens are perfect for those who enjoy cooking outdoors as well as entertaining. While entertaining could be guest or neighbors, it can also be your immediate family. Determine how often you enjoy cooking outdoors, and what size area you can dedicate to adding a summer kitchen. For smaller patios, an outdoor wall dedicated to a grill and sink may be sufficient. While a larger patio may have a stand-alone summer kitchen, complete with dining area, refrigerator, grill, sink and counter area. Assess what you enjoy cooking: Summer kitchens that have several amenities are the ones that get used more often, depending on what you enjoy cooking. Amenities such as cooking grills, griddles, rotisseries, and even ovens and warmers can make your cooking experience more enjoyable. Summer kitchens that have sinks, refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers can help the avid cook avoid running back inside the main house several times while entertaining and cooking. Comfortable lounging area: While the actual cooking area is important, don’t forget about the lounging and leisure area for your guests. Depending on your decorative style and the layout of your patio, determine how much and what type of seating will suit your needs.  Movable lounge chairs and tables are ideal for versatility while built in benches and seating area can be permanent and enhanced with decorative cushions and throw pillows.  Ensure seating area isn’t too far removed from the summer kitchen area for guest interaction, but not too close for smoke and food odors to affect your guests. Know your budget: Similar to other parts of your home, a summer kitchen can take on a life of its own before you know it, and you can spend more than you budgeted for. Do research in advance on what brands and prices fit within your budget, as well as visit summer kitchen studios that offer floor models that you can experience how the kitchen will feel. If you have a contractor building you a custom summer kitchen, ask for references of other projects you can personally visit to ensure you are getting what you paid for. The addition of a summer kitchen can be a wonderful addition to your home, which you can use for years into the future. When you finally decide to sell your home, a summer kitchen is a well sought after amenity that homebuyers will be eager to see.  Don’t forget to plan for outdoor lighting around your summer kitchen to ensure your evening entertaining is just as enjoyable as the daytime.
