Roles Our Kitchens Play

A kitchen is now much more than just a place to cook. It’s also used for entertaining guests, doing homework, sharing meals with the family, working from home, and e-learning. The layout of your kitchen should serve all of these needs. Contact Signature Kitchens to help with all of your remodel or new construction projects. 

In the past, a kitchen’s sole purpose was to make meals, therefore they used to be closed off from the rest of the house. However, as time went on, kitchens have become a main living space of the house. People are yearning for a layout that can better accommodate entertaining guests. When it is safe to get together again, make sure the host is still involved in conversations when they are cooking by creating an open concept kitchen that allows views to the family room. An island with bar seating is also a great addition that promotes conversation while the host is preparing food in the kitchen. Working with Signature Kitchens of Vero Beach will bring your custom kitchen ideas to life by creating an open-concept kitchen to suit your needs, specific lifestyle, and entertaining style.

Because COVID-19 has banished us to our homes to stay safe, people need to find new spaces around the house to set up their remote work areas. Many don’t have home offices and resort to the kitchen table all while kids are also using the kitchen table or island as their desk for e-learning. Organization and functionality are more important than ever. We can adjust your kitchen space to add storage for school supplies and work files in a convenient location so all paperwork has a home. Say goodbye to cluttered kitchen tables with stacks of papers. Signature Kitchens can help create beautiful cabinetry to hide all of the clutter.

Let Signature Kitchens transform your kitchen to meet your family’s needs today. Please

Creating a Productive Home Office with Custom Cabinets

Now more than ever, people need a functional home office space where they can get all their work done from the comfort and safety of their own home. Whether you find you are in need of more practical storage, desk space, or merely desire a beautiful area to work in all day, custom cabinets are the answer. 

With custom cabinets, you can repurpose the design of any room to better fit your needs. From lacking a simple built-in kitchen desk all the way to wanting a large office with built-in bookcases, Signature Kitchens can help you. 

If you are looking to include shelves to decorate with aesthetically pleasing decor or a built-in shelving unit, custom cabinetry can create a stunning yet still realistic office space with lots of storage.

We can install under-mount lighting on the bottom of the overhead cabinets so that your workspace is illuminated while you work. This feature is also great to make sure you are clearly visible for video meetings. As well as functional lighting, puck lights can be installed in each shelf to spotlight your decorations, making for a more luxurious look.

Another consideration is the color scheme you go with. All white cabinets would create a calm, clean space to avoid distractions while you are working. Stained wood cabinetry gives off a more homey, cozy vibe if that is what helps you be the most productive. You can even get fun with a dual-colored cabinet design to spark creativity and inspiration.

When designing your home office, you want to be efficient with your space. Custom cabinetry aids in maximizing your storage and organization. We can create cabinets that are perfectly sized to fit and hide a printer or serve as a pullout file cabinet for your paperwork. These personalized cabinets are useful for housing all of the clutter, cords and everyday office supplies that are not pretty, but necessary.

Custom cabinets are also a great option when trying to turn one room into a shared workspace if more than one person in your household works from home. It is very simple to split up a room based on a strategic cabinet layout that will allow for two desk spaces, while still providing plenty of storage space. 

Working from home and realizing that there is something missing that could help your productivity immensely? Signature Kitchens is at your service to design a custom space for your home office needs.

Your Complete Guide to Bathroom Remodels

Do Your Research

Be nosey! Attending local real estate open houses and home shows are great ways to get ideas and inspiration. Sometimes you don’t know exactly what you want until you see it! Ask if you can take pictures and take notes of little details you love. See a fixture you like? Take note of the brand. Don’t be afraid to be upfront about why you’re there and ask questions!

Decide on a Budget

Before embarking on any big project, it’s important to make sure you know what you can afford. You don’t want to be put in a bad financial situation just to have the space of your dreams. Talk with your financial advisor and/or banker and crunch the numbers! Then, when you decide on a number, our designers can show you all of your options within budget and how it can be allocated to get the most for your money. 

Consider Functionality

Are you a morning person and your significant other is not? Maybe a soundproof door to the master bath is a good option. Do you love baths? Or would a soaker tub collect dust? Just because things are trendy or the norm, doesn’t mean it has to be something you include in your bathroom design. Consider how easy certain surfaces are to clean, how much storage you need, and how many products you need shelving for in your gorgeous new walk-in shower. When we work with our clients, we take the time to evaluate needs and wants. This conversation is particularly important when allocated funds.

Aim for Quality

This is a given when working with Signature Kitchens of Vero Beach! Our team will make sure that you get the highest quality and your budget is maximized. Sometimes going with higher quality material for a need is a better long term decision than some of the smaller wants for your space.

Decide What to Splurge On

Bathrooms can be luxurious retreats, so a splurge or two is not discouraged! If you enjoy long baths with your favorite glass of wine, get the tub that is the most comfortable. Do you love a hot shower to start your day right? Get the fancy shower head!  Decide what is most important and treat yourself to a few items throughout.

Are you ready to create your dream bathroom? We’re here to help you create a relaxing retreat! Give us a call at (772) 234-0155 or email us at signatureinfo@signatureofvero.com.
