FALLS CHURCH KITCHEN REMODEL

Kitchen Remodel in Falls Church

This spacious Falls Church kitchen and bar/pantry got a complete update with custom Adelphi cabinetry. We used framed inset cabinets–snowcap white painted with a dark-stained island to blend with the family’s furniture in the adjacent dining and living rooms.

The island is a walnut wood species. Walnut varies from light gray-brown, to chocolate brown, even to a dark purplish brown. Grain patterns will vary strongly from piece to piece and can be very plan or highly figured. The variation in the grain of the walnut cabinets contrasts well with the non-prominent white birch species, which is perfect for painting.

Falls Church Kitchen Plans

This is one of the few kitchens we’ve done where there were no changes in the location of appliances. We did however add a number of accessories to the cabinets. They include roll out trash cans, roll out drawers, stem-wear racks, and large pull out racks. The cabinet accessories greatly increase the functionality of the kitchen without adding more cabinets.

Are you ready for a kitchen remodel? Well look no further than this massive Vienna kitchen. Check out the custom kitchen cabinets at this Vienna, VA home. Combining the existing kitchen and dining room provided the space necessary.

Vienna Kitchen Design – Stretching The Boundary

Traditional kitchens in Vienna have a fairly typical layout. Builders like to stick with a consistent kitchen design sprinkling in minor tweaks. Kitchens we’ve seen usually have an L-shape with an island. In some cases we’ve seen closet pantries and some additional kitchen cabinets beyond the L-shape and island. Sometimes we’ll see a cooktop in the island with a double oven somewhere else in the kitchen.

Vienna Kitchen Remodel – How Long Did It Take?

You may be wondering how long you’ll have to make it without a kitchen. Depending on the size of your kitchen remodeling project it can vary. Usually our kitchen projects take anywhere from 3 to 10 weeks to complete. This Vienna kitchen remodel was completed in 8 weeks. Just in time for Thanksgiving. All of our contracts contain an estimated start and completion date. For a major kitchen remodel such as this Vienna kitchen it’s best to start planning 3 to 6 months in advance. Especially if you’re looking to take down a wall. If you’re looking to do more of a pull and replace consider planning 2 to 4 months out. The more custom and detailed your kitchen cabinets are the longer lead time is required to build them. So that’s something to keep in mind when planning your kitchen remodel. Of course there are a lot of selections to make too so that’s another thing to consider. Project Year: 2016 | Project Cost: USD 100,001 – USD 150,000 | City: Vienna, VA 22182

Contemporary & Modern Kitchen Cabinets Washington, DC , Northern, VA, & MD

What Makes a Contemporary Kitchen in Washington, DC?

Sleek and clean lines, flat edges, and minimal detail make for a contemporary or modern kitchen. Kitchen cabinets are the main competent of a contemporary kitchen design. Many contemporary Washington, DC kitchens feature high gloss or an acrylic look a very European look. Full-access or frameless cabinetry are what you’ll find in a contemporary kitchen. Framed full-overlay cabinets are not used much today unless you are working with a semi-custom cabinet line. Deciding if frameless cabinets are right for you is the first step in the process. The major benefit of frameless full-access cabinetry is they provide you with 10 to 15 percent more storage space. This is especially important for Washington, DC kitchens since most are smaller than ideal. Also, who doesn’t want more storage in their kitchen? Another pro to frameless kitchen cabinets is they tend to be more affordable than framed inset cabinetry. The reason for this is there are less materials used in construction (after all the cabinets do not have a frame). Also it takes less carpentry skill to build a frameless kitchen cabinet. A framed inset cabinet requires employing skilled carpenters to ensure the doors and drawers will fit flush within the frame of the kitchen cabinets.

A downside to frameless cabinets is they are harder to install. Because there is no frame frameless cabinets are less forgiving to the carpenter when installing. Also you’ll want to make sure your frameless are manufactured by a reputable custom kitchen cabinet manufacturer. Some kitchen designers will recommend a 3/4″ thick plywood case over a furniture board or particle board. If it’s in your budget plywood is the way to go. However there are varying degrees of plywood and furniture board. Check with your Bath Plus Kitchen designer for more on this topic. Besides install and construction you’ll also want to see kitchen cabinets in-person. Be sure to schedule a time to visit our showroom at 1215 King St Alexandria, VA 22314. Sometimes but not always frameless kitchen cabinetry will feature wall cabinets that open up instead of to the left or right. Kitchen cabinet doors that flip or open up is a tell-tale sign of a contemporary or European kitchen.

Acrylic, High-Gloss, and Laminate Contemporary Kitchen Cabinets – What Cabinets Are Best For Your Washington, DC Kitchen?

Of course if you’re considering a contemporary kitchen you’re going to be looking at a slab door style without any stiles, rails or raised center panels. Almost all slab doors are made out of a medium or high density furniture board at it’s core and covered with an acrylic, laminate, or veneer. This is because wood is known to expand and contract due to variations in climate. A hot and humid summer day in Alexandria, VA will cause the wood in your home to expand while a cold wintry day will do the opposite. This is if you keep your house at a consistent temperature. Furniture board does not expand and contract anywhere close to the amount solid wood moves. Therefore if you had a solid wood slab cabinet door it would warp and bend over time. The most popular finishes for a contemporary kitchen are acrylic and laminate. Acrylic cabinets provide a shine to the cabinets and have a durable finish. They are easy to clean with soap and water. Typically acrylic is the most expensive style for a contemporary kitchen. Laminate cabinets have a thin layer of material, usually a more affordable pressed wood material. They tend to have a texture feel.
