Today’s technological advancements have changed what’s possible, even in the kitchen. We’ve come a long way from the days of iceboxes and ticking kitchen timers, so if kitchen design is on your mind, don’t leave out the tech factor.


Committing to one single kitchen design style can be tough. That’s why so many homeowners love transitional kitchen design-- it’s a mix of styles that allows for a streamlined look and leaves room to add a dash of personality.


Your dog is your best friend. Your cat is your constant companion. So if you’re contemplating a kitchen remodel, doesn’t it make sense to factor in your furry friends?

Through our years of experience designing kitchens, we’ve found that if you have pets, you’ll be happier with the end result of your kitchen remodel if you think about how Fluffy and Fido use the space, too.


If the ubiquitous all-white kitchen look just isn’t for you, we’re here to encourage you to embrace the au naturale and go with wood cabinetry.

If you’re having flashbacks of your grandma’s dated, orange-hued wood kitchen, stop right there. Natural wood kitchens can be beautiful, contemporary, and even unexpected in the all-white kitchen landscape.


If you want to add a splash of color to your kitchen, or add a little contrast to your white kitchen cabinets, we have a solution that will stand the test of time: keep your kitchen cabinets white and paint your kitchen island a contrasting color.

Painting just the island allows you to make a small-scale commitment. To get started, take color inspiration from other rooms in your house, or find a favorite painting or decorative item and base your colors on that. You can take the object or a photo of the object to your local hardware or paint store to get pro color-matching advice, and have a custom finish made for your kitchen island.

Ready to get started? Let’s begin by looking at this all-white kitchen as a visual reminder of a more traditional look.


Here at The Kitchen Company, we think design trends can get a bad rap. Sure, trends can lead us to odd places (we’re looking at you, orange shag carpet from the ‘70s). However, when chosen thoughtfully, trends can spark new and innovative ideas and guide you to your dream kitchen. 

To demonstrate how trends can work together over time, let’s take a look at some 2018 kitchen trends that will last, and some 2019 kitchen design trends we think you’ll love in the year ahead.


When the weather outside is frightening...you just want to stay inside. And that might not be all that bad, if you love the space you’re in. This season, we encourage you to embrace the seasonal vibe by making your kitchen cozy, warm and winter wonderful.


Modern farmhouse kitchen design is simple -- and that’s exactly where its beauty lies. The overall feel is calm, but the aesthetic makes an impact. In a fast-paced world, there’s a certain romance and nostalgia involved in taking things back to the farm.

If you’re curious about the farmhouse look, consider this both your introduction and your guide.
