Lookbook 2018 KITCHEN STYLES We shape our homes and then our homes shape us. - Winston Churchill 8
1 2 6 4 3 FARMHOUSE 1APPLIANCES The range and hood are often the focal point of the kitchen. The industrial aesthetic of a commercialstyle pro range or the vintage appeal of a European stove can both fit the farmhouse style. Stainless steel finishes are a popular choice as they offer a clean, professional look. Flexible refrigeration, including columns and convertible drawers, are also key for functionality. 2CABINETS Whether you choose overlay or inset cabinetry, white or grey paint will set the foundation for this style kitchen. Include open shelving and doorless or glass front cabinets to display dishes and unique serving pieces. COUNTERTOPS 3Traditional farmhouse tables have been replaced with large islands. Wood and soapstone are popular picks to add warmth and contrast to lighter cabinetry. Marble is also a great option for its natural beauty and organic character over time. Style A mix of materials and finishes give farmhouse kitchens their eclectic yet sophisticated charm. 4LIGHTING An array of lighting choices are adaptable to the farmhouse style wood, glass, dark iron, industrial or antique. Whichever finish you select, pendant lighting is most common. 5TILE & FLOORING White and grey subway tile are classic for a backsplash and hardwood or wood-look flooring is predominant with this style. Choosing a bold decorative tile is the perfect way to add some personality to a wall or floor. SINKS & FAUCETS 5 6A definitive element in a farmhouse kitchen is an apron front sink. Its broad face and deep bowl add versatility and visual appeal. Pair it with a bridge or restaurant style faucet for the perfect look.
2 1 4 3 6 1 TRANSITIONAL 1Stainless steel appliances provide a nice textural contrast to the white and neutrals that are commonly used in this style space. Custom hoods are a nice accent piece to create visual interest. APPLIANCES 2CABINETS White painted or wood finish paneled doors with sleek hardware create streamlined cabinetry without skewing contemporary. Ornate island detail adds a touch of traditional feel. 3COUNTERTOPS Granite and quartz are favored countertop materials for their durability and aesthetic. Simple edge selections carry the eye across the surface. Style Layered neutrals in a juxtaposition of clean lines and decorative detail define transitional style kitchens. 4LIGHTING Ceiling and pendant lights offer versatile options to anchor and illuminate the space. Chandeliers with a contemporary twist are also a classic choice. 5TILE & FLOORING Wood or limestone floors play up the warmth of a neutral palette. Installing a detailed tile backsplash ties back to traditional characteristics with modernized style. SINKS & FAUCETS 6Pulldown faucets and two basin stainless steel sinks are a timeless pair. Consider a 60/40 sink division that s practical for prepping and cleaning. 5
6 3 5 2 1 4 CONTEMPORARY 1Emerging appliance trends feature built-in technology and smart home capabilities. Low profile stainless steel appliances blend well with sleek lines. Black stainless is an alternative finish that plays well into modernized design. APPLIANCES CABINETS Flat front, full overlay, frameless cabinetry is a quintessential element of contemporary design. Incorporating open shelving visually clears space and plays on the minimalism theme. 2COUNTERTOPS 3Quartz and ultra-compact surfaces are commonly the products of choice. Their superior durability, diverse designs and finishes are easily integrated. A full height backsplash provides seamless and dramatic design by drawing the eye up to emphasize room height. Style 4LIGHTING Contemporary lighting often uses geometric or edgy pendant lights as a work of art or focal point. Under cabinet lighting is key to functionality and adds a layer of lighting that increases the sophistication and drama. 5TILE & FLOORING Large format ceramic or porcelain tile in neutral monochromatic tones set the stage. Depending on your design taste, stone, mirrored or simple backsplashes can be used to achieve different looks. 6Coupling a large one basin stainless steel sink with a one-handle chrome or brushed nickel faucet match the smooth lines and look of the appliances. Fabricate your countertop to the edge of an undermount sink in a distinct rectangular shape. SINKS & FAUCETS Sharp, simple lines with bold or natural contrast and minimalistic appearance project balance and harmony in contemporary kitchens.

Depending on your style, built-in or furniture-like cabinets offer great storage. 2COUNTERTOPS Granite and quartz are durable bathroom countertop choices. There are a variety of colors to choose from and designs range from simple to bold. If you prefer timeless elegance, marble countertops are a classic choice. GLASS & MIRROR 3Semi-frameless and frameless shower enclosures, along with framed vanity mirrors, appeal to the clean line aesthetic of this type of space. Style A combination of traditional and contemporary styles that elegantly balance masculine and feminine design elements. 4LIGHTING Sconces around vanities provide functional lighting. There are countless fixture options to complement and illuminate your space. A chandelier can also be a great option if you are looking to make a statement and elevate the look of your room. 5TILE & FLOORING Textured porcelain or ceramic wall tile behind a clear glass shower acts as a focal point for the bathroom. Porcelain marble-look floors are a popular choice for their style and ease of cleaning. SINKS & FAUCETS 5 6Undermount sinks and brushed nickel fixtures are timeless options. Porcelain bathroom sinks come in oval and rectangular shapes and can change the look of your countertop area to lean more contemporary or traditional.
1 2 6 5 3 4 CONTEMPORARY 1CABINETS Frameless cabinetry with full overlay doors characterize contemporary style. The flush look is visually pleasing and allows the eye to catch fi ner design details. 2COUNTERTOPS Natural stone and ultra-compact materials that mimic its patterns and veining are dominating. Large-scale and book-matched statement stone create natural artwork. GLASS & MIRROR 3Curbless, walk-in showers with frameless glass, and large mirrors above cabinetry create a visually open space. The clean lines they convey are a nice attribute for the overall look. Style 4LIGHTING The beauty of contemporary design is its flexibility to accommodate taste. Lighting preferences are unique and can be chosen to blend into the room or act as a piece of art. Integrated LED mirrors and pendant lighting are prevalent in this type of space. 5TILE & FLOORING Porcelain tile flooring is most widely used for its variety of colors and sizes. Lighter, neutral shades, such as grey, white or beige, in 12x12 and larger format make a nice foundation for flooring. 6Simple plumbing fixtures in satin nickel or polished chrome are the go-to finish for faucets. Porcelain undermount or vessel sinks are frequently the option of choice, as well as free standing tubs. SINKS & FAUCETS Minimal, spa-like features combined with trendy design choices make up the contemporary bathroom of today.
