We know it’s the heart of the home; the place everyone naturally gravitates towards to connect with one another. And, we also know that appliances are not the sexiest purchase you’ll ever make.
However, when planning your next kitchen, I just have one question for you:
What do you envision?
Do you love contemporary or classic materials? Will it be airy and open concept, or quaint like a country farm house? Should you opt for crisp, stainless steel appliances, or stick with tried-and-true (and now, trendy) white? And most importantly – will you undertake the renovation yourself, or trust your transformation to a professional?
Whether your next kitchen is months or years away, it’s always important to create a style board. Style boards are a jumping off point; their purpose is to evoke the feeling of the project (color palette, design, layout, etc) and provide inspiration for mixed media. Wondering where to begin?

Design your dream kitchen by selecting your favourite swatches from paint, backsplashes, appliances and more.

Or, you can select a preset style: choose from Contemporary, Eclectic, Modern, Traditional or Asian.
