Who Should I Include on My Kitchen Renovation Team?

Kitchen Remodeling usually starts online with inspiration and ideas. Bringing your reality to life is where it can get tricky. Getting too many people involved can cause unneeded stress, while too little people can lead to things being undone or further issues.

Here at German Kitchen Center, we want to make sure you have all the assistance you can get. We created a customized list of the potential people involved in your kitchen renovation process.

In addition to your essential kitchen team such as your contractor, kitchen designer and supplier, you may want to consider hiring some additional professionals such as:
•An Architect •A project manager •An interior designer •A lighting designer Hiring an architect – Sometimes you may need an “architect of record” in order to submit plans to your building and/ or the city and to pull permits. The other function of an architect would be for creating a design, but keep in mind that in regards to the kitchen design your architect would be working with your kitchen designer.

A project manager – If you can find a good project manager this is usually quite helpful for the project. Quite often homeowners end up managing their projects on their own, but if you are busy running your personal and professional life, a project manager can come in handy. 

 An interior designer – You may not need an interior designer if your architect is helping you with the interior design, but on the other hand you may not need an architect if your interior designer can handle all the planning. 

Sometimes an interior designer will also help you with all your decorating needs including fabric and furniture selection so if you really want to create a fabulous space, an interior designer is great! 

Lighting designer – Quite often this function is overlooked, but is quite essential if you want to create a truly perfect space. Your kitchen designer can probably help you with everything, but hiring more professionals if you can afford to and if they are good can take your project to the next level.

If you visit our kitchen showroom, one of our designers will be happy to work with you to build one of the finest modern kitchens. Our kitchen experts understand how to best utilize your space to elevate your kitchen's form and function to new heights.

Handleless Kitchens in Manhattan

Modernize your kitchen by installing handleless kitchen doors

The recent kitchen cabinetry models have increasingly shifted to handleless doors for all the storage spaces. Handleless kitchens in Manhattan are part of the new wave of minimalist kitchen designs that are taking homeowners by storm. The designs are heavily favored contemporary homeowners due to their clean design and striking finishes.

Are you looking forward to changing your kitchen doors or building a new kitchen? Below are some reasons why you should consider the minimalist handleless kitchens are your next kitchen design.

Handleless kitchens are ultra-modern kitchens

The handleless door design is an ultra-modern look. They were first touted as a minimalist only idea, but the results were so impressive that they have now made it to everyday modern kitchen designs. They also blend easily with the rest of the kitchen.   

Create seamless flow between adjacent rooms

There are several people whose home designs include a combined kitchen and dining area. Incorporating the handleless kitchen design creates open spaces that effortlessly flow into each other. Home designers usually have a problem connecting their kitchen to the dining room due to the fact that both spaces have different atmospheres.

However, handleless kitchen doors make you feel as if you are never changing atmospheres when moving from the dining room to the kitchen and back. Thus, if you are planning to combine the dining room with your kitchen, handleless kitchen doors are a way you can create the seamless design. 

Hygienic and safe

Not only are handleless kitchens in Manhattan aesthetically appealing, but they are also safe and more hygienic. Generally, the kitchen doors trap a lot of dirt and grime. Most people do not remember to clean the handles in their daily kitchen cleaning routine. Therefore, the place becomes a hiding place for undesirable micro-organisms.

Handles can also become a safety risk in the kitchen, especially where space is limited. Clothing can get caught as you brush past the doors or children can hit their heads as they run through. Handleless kitchen doors eliminate this problem. 

Handleless kitchens offer many stylistic, safety and hygiene advantages. For more information about handleless kitchens in Manhattan, or to schedule a free kitchen design consultation call the German Kitchen Center at  (888)209-5240.

Enhance Your Kitchen, Enhance Your Life

Kitchen by Nobilia

Your kitchen can be the most important room in your house. No other room sees so much use or is used for so much. Your Kitchen is where your family shares the start of the day. It’s where you bond with your friends over crudités and glasses of wine. It’s where you sneak in a pint of ice cream at night when no one else is looking. In short, the kitchen is where you go to find the textures and flavors that add sweetness to your life, but it’s crucial for a kitchen to be properly designed in order to do all it can for you.

Kitchen Drawers by Leicht

The frustration with a conventional kitchen is that the more you try to do with it, the more difficult it becomes to get anything done.  Every new knife, blender, whisk or spice you bring into your kitchen, takes up space on your counter top and in your cabinets, eventually creating unmanageable chaos. Instead of attempting that new recipe you’ve been aching to try, you are wasting your time shuffling everything on and off your counter just to clear enough space to work. Trying to solve the problem with cheap-looking plastic containers and organizers simply adds more clutter and distracts from the shape and beauty of the room. Is there a way to do more with your kitchen in a way that actually makes your life easier?

The answer to that question is “yes.” 

The German Kitchen Center’s kitchen designers can help you do more with your kitchen, whether you are using it for cooking, entertaining or simply relaxing. You will be better able to add more tools to your culinary toolbox while using less space.

What does your kitchen say about you?

Kitchen by Team 7

Does it say “here is a person who is serious about their culinary life?”

Does it say “here is a person who knows how to make the most of their space?”

What if you could design a kitchen that says all three?

Modern kitchen design makes it all possible. No compromises. No sacrifices.  

It all started when German kitchen engineers answered those three questions.

What makes a kitchen say “here is a person who knows how to make the most of their space?” Customizable drawers that neatly fit every single spoon, knife, plate, bowl, measuring cup, and plastic bag that would otherwise clutter a kitchen.

Modern Kitchens in NYC

A lot has been said about what it means to be modern. Well, in the kitchen world, these topics have a meaning all their own. Bringing your kitchen into the modern world is something that's a lot easier than you may have thought. This doesn't mean having a robot do your dishes or cook your meals. What it means is that everything in the kitchen is designed to fully complement the other items within. In short, modern kitchens in NYC focus on ensuring that everything is optimized for your use and benefit. 

At German Kitchen Center, we assist our clients in finding modern kitchen solutions that perform to their unique lifestyle.

When you visit German Kitchen Center for modern kitchens in NYC, we will guide you through our design and installation process, as well as the individual product testing processes LEICHT and Nobilia undergo to provide high-quality products at flexible prices.

Sounds good, doesn't it? Below are a three ways the modern kitchen has changed the game in Europe and New York City.

More Space, More and More

Remember the kitchens of old, where everything is highly ornamented with rounded edges and decorations abound? Well, the modern world has done away with these notions. Modern designers see them as a waste of space. Everything in the kitchen should serve a purpose and every inch should be in use. Modern kitchens in NYC utilize space how you need, with customizable cabinetry and lighting options.

Simple Design Means More Appeal

Just because ornamentation is done away with, doesn't mean design is a thing of the past. With sharp edges, solid tones, and proper placement of all the kitchen's necessities, you'll feel both comfortable and at ease by the new look. Very futurist, indeed, also in terms of the materials used. These include vinyl, plastic, and surface metals.

Will Last You Into the Future

Longevity wasn't really considered in the traditional American kitchen design. The more intricately designed and decorated everything was superseded the material's lifespans. But trends have grown towards being more Earth-friendly, and building materials have followed in line. All of the materials used in modern kitchens in NYC are meant to last. And last they will. This means less waste on the planet. But also, less money spent on future renovations and repairs.
