In the modern home, the kitchen reigns supreme. It's the heart of the home, the central hub of family gatherings, and a space that deserves to serve you best while also reflecting your unique personality. But sometimes, our kitchens are the spaces in our homes that feel uninspired, disorganized, or lacking. At Joshua Allen Design, we're passionate about creating kitchen designs that are both beautiful and functional, and bringing them to life! Here, we dive into our 4 must-haves; the interior design elements we're incorporating into every JAD kitchen design!
1. Statement Pendant Lighting, a Focal Point with Function.
Go beyond basic fixtures and embrace the power of statement pendant lighting! These conversation-starting pieces add a touch of personality over your island or sink, instantly transforming the look and feel of your kitchen. Adding a bit of flair with pendant lighting can be a great way to experiment in your design without overcommitting to anything super large or expensive. Our expert designers help our clients choose the perfect pendant, ensuring it provides ample task lighting while maintaining the ideal hanging height to avoid obstructing movement or flow.
2. Effortless Waste Management.
Ditch the overflowing trash cans! We always integrate seamless pull-out trash and recycling bins directly within the base cabinetry of our kitchen designs. This clever storage solution not only keeps your countertops clutter-free but also makes waste disposal a simple and easy task. Imagine a kitchen where everything has its designated place, promoting a clean and organized environment. 😉 Chef's kiss!
3. Polish up Your Look with Crown Molding.
Think of crown molding as the finishing touch on a perfectly tailored suit. It elevates the visual appeal of the kitchen, creates a sense of completion, and ties the entire design together seamlessly. This timeless design element adds a touch of sophistication and elegance, making your kitchen feel truly polished.
4. Ambiance at Your Fingertips: Dimmable Under-Cabinet Lighting.
Under-cabinet lighting is more than just practical. It casts a warm, inviting glow, illuminating the work space and showcasing beautiful countertops. But the magic goes beyond basic functionality. With dimmable under-cabinet lighting, you have the power to adjust the ambiance to suit any occasion. Giving you the power to create a bright and cheerful atmosphere for morning coffee or a soft, intimate setting for a romantic dinner.
