A kitchen remodel is the perfect time to add a few modern touches to upgrade the heart of your home. Whether you are a tech enthusiast, neat freak, or the family chef, these tips will add an extra touch of personalization and function to your new kitchen.

Power, Power, Power!

Opting for use specific electrical devices can add tremendous functionality to your kitchen.

• In drawer electrical receptacles can keep charging devices off the counter.
• Use USB outlets to make charging devices easy.
• Pop-up outlets provide a clean backsplash.
• Appliance garages can have a safety switch installed to prevent hot appliances from accidentally being left on in a closed cabinet.
• Certain receptacles can be hidden or painted to blend with surrounding cabinetry.

A Place for Everything

A highly functional kitchen should serve as an extension of the cook using the space. Having everything you need, where you need it, is key.

• Pull out trays and pantry systems provide easy access to deep cabinets.
• Utensil organizer accessories next to the range help keep the counters clear.
• A wastebasket pullout hides your trashcan near your sink.
• Slide out shelving systems can make good use of deep, narrow, base cabinets.
• Custom organizers allow you to store plates and bowls in drawers.

See the Light

Lighting plays a significant role in how we interact with a space. Good lighting can make your work easier, alter your mood, and elevate your kitchen to something luxurious.

• Undercabinet lighting can provide task lighting and showoff your backsplash.
• Put undercabinet lights on dimmers to switch from work lighting to romantic mood lighting.
• New Wi-Fi and Bluetooth lighting can connect to your smart home devices to automatically turn on and off with a timer.
• Use modern, wafer syle can lights to put recessed lighting almost anywhere in your ceiling.
• Light the inside of glass cabinets to add ambiance and show off display items.

Plumb Perfect

Special plumbing and appliance details can help you interact effortlessly with your kitchen.

• Install an instant hot water dispenser for making teas or quickly bringing water to a boil.
• Add a pot filler over the stove to make pasta night easier.
• Consider an extra wide range with dual ovens.
• Use a large, single-bowl sink to give room to wash large pots and pans.
• Dual dishwashers make quick work of cleaning up after a party.
