Kitchen And Bathroom Renovation : The Complete Guide to Kitchens : Planning & Design

Planning & Design

The initial step for any home improvement project is to assess the space you already have and to develop
a firm concept for the ideal appearance and function. Although most of us have a fair idea which styles (traditional, contemporary, etc.) we generally gravitate toward, today’s vast selection of materials, appliances,
and upgrades has complicated the process of choosing products and materials. With so many customizable
options—from cabinet hardware to floor tiles—the possibilities can seem endless. Whether you’re looking
for a dramatic transformation or simply an easy update, however, you should consider these vast selections to be opportunities for making your kitchen project a success—perhaps in ways you hadn’t imagined.

Following the gallery of ideas post, you’ll find some helpful, highly practical information on kitchen design and the fundamental strategies for devising a kitchen remodeling plan.

Simple, geometric lines, warm wood tones, and natural stone countertops can be found in kitchens of just about any style.

Kitchen And Bathroom Renovation : The Complete Guide to Kitchens : Introduction

Introduction

In recent years, kitchens have received an enormous amount of attention from high-end design magazines, television home décor shows, and even manufacturers of expensive appliances. Without question, the
trendsetters in the industry have concocted some amazing rooms with jaw-dropping features. In fact, the kitchens we see featured in most media today are primarily room sets built purely to showcase an impressive style rather than pleasing, efficient rooms from which we feed our families and carry on those “kitchen table discussions” politicians are always talking about.

That’s okay: everyone loves to dream about surrounding themselves with beauty, opulence, and state-of-the-art living accessories. But if, like most of us, your goal is to find a few practical ways to make your kitchen better meet your needs (and maybe show off just a little bit), then you need a guide that features rooms that look something like your house.

In this freshly blogger post, we show you dozens of instant-payback projects that make your kitchen
brighter and easier to use—from painting the walls to updating the lighting, childproofing cabinets and
appliances, or installing pull-out shelves to convert a broom closet into an efficient pantry. We also cover some
more involved kitchen improvements, such as installing all-new cabinets and countertops or replacing the
flooring. These are all projects that can be done by most do-it-yourselfers with moderate skills. And for the most part they require more elbow grease than capital. Because so much activity in kitchens centers around major household appliances, we show you how to hook up and maintain your refrigerator, stove, icemaker, water filter, and more.

By doing it yourself you can save money, but you’ll also build the skills to be prepared for an appliance emergency. Plus, you can do the work on your own schedule—no setting aside a full day just so you can wait for a delivery or a repair call. For the truly ambitious homeowner who has more advanced carpentry skills, we even show you how to build your own custom cabinets yourself—the ultimate “luxury you can afford”. This blogger post reflects the most current design thinking on relevant issues that matter today. Throughout this post, you’ll find pointers about eco-friendly options, shopping tips to clue you in on features to look for, and notes on Universal Design, which creates accessibility for a wide range of people. After all, if your kitchen doesn’t meet your needs, it doesn’t work—no matter how fancy it may look.

The kitchen is the most frequently remodeled room in the house. From modest makeovers to down-to the-studs re-dos, planning and know-how are the variables that make the difference between creating a kitchen that really meets your long-term needs versus one that you’ll be remodeling again in a couple of years.

The Natural Course Of Things

Man's relationship with water, there from time immemorial. In all cultures, myths and legends highlightsimportance of water as a vitally important element that is present in all things that exist in nature. One ritual that takes place today in our bathrooms is exceptional and refreshing chemto - part of the amenities that help us cope with the stress of everyday life.
Bathroom, as well as any another room of our house for many years and changed its value, respectively, the decoration. This is not just (room down the hall to the left) as usual said, referring to such important part of our house, and more chto_to that by their functional load is similar to the spa. Appearance objects with new functions, such a spa bath, sauna cabin, emotional shower with color and aromatherapy, has made bathroom in a small resort.
Recently, the design I faced with things that are very different from each other in function. But in my work, I stick to the concept expressed in the words of Massimo Vinelli (design one, so if you you can design one thing, you can design any other. The methodology is the same regardless of object).
Of course, in-depth study and study of different production techniques, as well as the study of new products from different manufacturers, working in the sector, are my main occupation, as well as an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
When designing a line of mixers Fuente (2005) for the company Mamoli (besides Fuente in 2008 for the company was established yet another line - Stylos) was a fundamental principle of simplicity. The form has been cleared of unnecessary elements, thereby creating product, to anticipate the simple and natural movements, which precede the appearance of water.
Simple, subtle and clear form asserts the primacy of the mixer design, would disclaim any At any decoration and splendor forms and at the same time does not allow any chance, that provides reasonableness of every bend and the line. There is a sense that the water itself is bent into the shape of the conductive tube.Having such an interesting experience, I have devoted much time to develop new projects within the scope of bathrooms.

Very Personal Space

The main task of design today - to interpret modernity and change lifestyle, visualizing them as objects. The influence of these factors on the design Furniture doubt, especially in the bathroom. In today's life a lot of stress, and this leads to what we are looking for opportunity to conduct velnes_protsedury at home. Bathroom becomes a multi-functional space in which we not only take care of your body, and restore mental balance. Therefore, this area interior must be functionally sound and aesthetically attractive.
The fact that you can call velnes_tehnologiyami implies complex multicomponent studies in various fields, which are the result of multifunctional showers and bathrooms with a holistic concept (with color therapy and phytocosmetics, sauna, Turkish bath, and music therapy). Water, light, climate and sound create velnes sredu single, and the interaction All of these elements becomes a major task of the designer. The main tendency of development of such equipment, which would be both coordinated and intensity of color and music, and the temperature of the water, creating regimes that stimulate feelings and having a therapeutic effect.
Bathroom design with any of these features is a broad field for activities requiring designed by research in various fields. Functionality, ergonomics, safety, body care and treatment of the spirit become as the main tasks, and a source of inspiration for the designer.

Back to Nature

The interiors of our homes have lost their usual zoning through walls: kitchen, dining room, living room is often a single space. Privacy part of the house follows this same trend: bathroom and bedroom are merged into a single zone of rest and relaxation. So on the interior reflected the radical scenario changes in the perception of the human body. The body should no longer be hidden, so private space free integrated into other parts of the house. we themselves choose the degree of openness or secrecy of his private life - as in virtual and the real world.

The first velnes_produktom who crossed the threshold of private space, has spa bath. First as a home for hydrotherapy equipment, and then - as a luxury item. After decades of rule whirlpool loses its popularity. today, there tendency to equip his house in a Finnish sauna and Turkish bath, in which traditional function of a shower combined with the advantages of hot pair. The dream of owning a private home becomes a reality spa_tsentrom due to the evolution of technology and materials. Small in size and not very expensive steam generator, high strength materials, new design technology has made these new hybrid objects possible and affordable.

Bathroom - rather young space in a standard residential building, it is less than 100 years. In developed countries, zone managed to undergo many transformations, from a totally white cold room to the oasis for relaxation and recreation, in which the materials, coatings and color reflects the individuality of the owner. But believe me, much more to come.


Today, there are still huge gap between the vision of designers and producers and the fact that there is a real house in which we live. Items future must be diverse, individual and transformed by customer's needs. This is the concept of Beyond Collection, which I have created a design for Glass Idromassaggio. Free-standing baths organic shapes are beautiful, but they require large spaces. My collection offers another solution: a bath and rounded off almost ovate, combined with the architectural form of the monolith, which may be faced with any of the existing material. This combination form allows you to find the optimal solution for any space, regardless of the size and scope for lining can create as an individual project.

Home Wellness

The original meaning of the concept of wellness - harmony of body, mind and spirit. its achievement until recently not been accorded to an ordinary home bathroom: the daily rhythm of life is not compatible with the principles of wellness. all of this leads to a large number of various velnes_tsentrov. care for a transformed into a "care kogo_to (experts) for kem_to (patients) " and then, provided that we will find ourselves
time in a busy schedule of life
In Europe today, the concept of wellness is changing. If the speech 1990's was primarily a multi-functional cabins or bathrooms, but now primary emphasis on the materials. The amount of electronics decreases, because the primary focus velnes_oborudovanie and essential feelings. time we can give velnes_protseduram decreased, so the effect should be achieved immediately, and all directions exactly that.

A year ago, before starting work the design of a new product for Cerasa Spa, we asked the marketing department of a study that That provides an idea of ​​the tastes of the consumer and the requirements for
functionality. The first results obtained in the course of this study showed that people are looking for calm
and universal design.

As it turned out, the rhythm of life influences our preferences so that we do rates primarily on a relatively low cost of plumbing and its versatility to be able if necessary to dismantle the units and mount them again after moving to another location. Or to leave without regret in the old place, as the cost of plumbing is not so high as to consider it a great loss.


Our regular habits do not have a serious impact on the choice plumbing, as the accelerating pace of life and a small area of modern apartments. All of these factors are the basis of bathroom design and its components.

Catching up on interior design bathrooms, I paid much attention to the furniture, because it involves a lot of problems to be solved. I have not only choose the necessary furniture, but also to think of all that relates to the functional side: light, mirrors, accessories, plumbing. Wide range of materials allows you to create new every time interesting combination, not stopping design your own research. Priority is for a product that gives the end user opportunities for variation, and create individual space.

Environmental Procedures

The basic tendencies of 2011 in a zone of a bathroom concern materials and zoning. The increasing number of people wish to see in a bathroom a warm and cosy atmosphere, therefore even more often in an interior of a bathroom glass and a tree is used and more lesser – a ceramic tile.

In the Europe the wide circulation of the Asian culture which displays are the attitude to hygienic procedures as to ritual, and also aspiration to a relaxation and is well appreciable harmonization of a body, reason and spirit.

Therefore a great demand uses corresponding the sanitary technician and the special equipment. At the same time in the Asia the European influence is observed: there is an association of zones of a bathroom and a bedroom. In the majority of the Asian houses where it is possible, the partitions dividing these two spaces are cleaned, and one zone for rest is formed.

All anyhow is connected with use of water for achievement of physical and emotional harmony. Taking pleasure in curative water procedures, we can not forget and about ecology, so, about economy of water resources.

The used water from baths and cabins can act for a reuse in drain tanks or tanks for полива a garden. And amalgamators can be created in view of ecological requirements: they economically spend water, not losing in force of a pressure.

In one of models of amalgamators KWC EVE we have emphasized sacral value of water as basic element of a life, having integrated LED in an aperture of the crane. Including water simple pressing button you include also light.

And the stream of the water flowing from the crane, is painted and shined, turning to a wonderful fantastic source. As you can notice, the sanitary technician which design we develop, but thus is functional and simple in use.
