6 Tips To Transform A Powder Room

Blue Powder Room

It doesn’t take much to transform a powder room into the luxurious space you’ve always envisioned. Not sure how to make your small bathroom sparkle at its best? Here are a few simple suggestions to help you get started.

A More Flattering Light

One of the most important elements of any successful powder room is the lighting. Swap out the traditional exposed-bulb vanity lights for more diffused lighting, such as a frosted-glass sconce. The soft glow will cast a more flattering light on your skin, and will set the tone for your new space.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

A good-sized mirror, with a wall lamp above or on either side, provides sufficient light to illuminate a powder room. The reflecting properties of a mirror can make a small space appear much more airy. Replace that flat, frameless mirror that comes standard in most homes with a lovely oval or rectangular mirror that is uniquely framed to suit your style.

A Beautiful Focal Point

Acclaim 36" Bathroom Vanity Set in White – Willow Lane CabinetryA bathroom should be a tranquil sanctuary, and your powder room is no exception. After all, this is the place where your guests will retreat to freshen up! A vanity serves as the focal point to your space, and should be beautiful. Willow Lane Cabinetry has bathroom vanities in every style, shape, size, finish and budget to turn your dream bathroom into a reality.

 

Handsome Hardware

Attractive new knobs and cabinet pulls are inexpensive and easy to install. For a quick way to add new life to a small powder room or bathroom with a built-in vanity, consider hardware as the golden opportunity to update your space.

Serene Color Schemes

Small spaces can benefit from a pale color palette, creating the illusion of a larger space. Light gray or brown tones, aqua, powder blue or sage green all work perfectly for a serene spa-like powder room. Bolder colors such as navy can work equally well when paired with crisp white trim, toilet and sink, as long as there is sufficient light in the room.

The Finishing Touches

Take the less is more approach, and choose only the perfect pieces to accessorize and enhance the overall look of your powder room. Start with a unique picture above the toilet or a shelf with a woven basket. Install a quality towel ring near the sink and invest in a few nice hand towels, a pretty soap dispenser, and a nice bathroom area rug to complete the look. Keep in mind that it’s hard to see past clutter. One well-placed object can make a huge difference in a small space, so choose your décor wisely and thoughtfully.

Whether you are looking to add to your current powder room, or completely makeover your space from top to bottom, these tips can help inspire and motivate you to transform a drab powder room into the lovely, tranquil space you have always envisioned.

5 Clever Ways To Rethink Subway Tile

Traditional White Subway Tile

Subway tile is a classic choice for covering shower walls or adding an interesting backsplash above kitchen countertops. Typically, subway tile is installed following a running bond pattern where the tile is installed horizontally (much like when stacking brick). While this traditional method is certainly simple and equally as stunning, it’s not the only way to add subway tile to your home. Here are a few out of the box designs that will change the way you think about subway tile.

Go Vertical

Arranging subway tile vertically rather than horizontally is definitely out of the ordinary and adds flair to a modern or contemporary kitchen. On top of being eye-catching this formation will also make your ceilings appear higher — and who doesn’t appreciate the illusion of more space? All you have to do to achieve this look is follow the classic running bond layout placing tile vertically rather than horizontally. Voila! Your bigger and more breathtaking room awaits.

Work a Weave

Basket Weave Subway TileFollowing a double basket weave layout will complement a vintage themed bathroom or cottage style kitchen. Simple and sweet, this arrangement does wonders by giving walls an artistic appeal while also saving you money and frustration. There’s no need to go with some fancy, complicated tile installation with a bunch of different sized tiles in a palette of colors. You can just as easily create a fashion forward look by choosing the same size and color tile and executing this updated rendition of an old school basket weave.

Fish for Herringbone

Creating a zigzag configuration is easy with subway tile, and results in a unique and stunning herringbone design. For an up and down finish place tile on a 45-degree angle, offsetting the joints. Eyes will move up, down and around as the horizontal motion invites guests to look around. Similarly, placing tile at a 90-degree angle will create a herringbone (or chevron) design. This approach will give you a boxier look that is perfect for framing a mural or accenting a particular area in your kitchen.

Stack ‘Em Up

: Stacked Subway TileIt’s easy for a home to become cluttered and chaotic, but you can keep things calm by bringing balance to walls with a horizontal stacked tile arrangement. In this design pattern, tile is evenly aligned from side to side and top to bottom. Is it minimalistic? Yes. Will it serve as the perfect backdrop to your kitchen or bathroom? Absolutely.

Steal the Show with Stripes

While the previous tile treatments could all be achieved using the same color tile, this pattern looks best when two complementary shades are utilized. To create a stripe pattern, you will alternate between a row of horizontal tile and a row of vertical tile. While this look can be achieved using the same color and size, your stripes will be much more apparent with the contrast of two colors. Using colored grout (such as a dark grey) rather than white can also help to highlight your design and make your stripes pop.

How To Mix And Match Countertop Styles

Contrasting Countertops In A Kitchen

Mixing and matching countertop styles is a popular trend with designers and homeowners alike. And for good reason! Choosing different countertop surfaces adds visual interest and that desirable custom touch to your kitchen. And it’s simple to do — with a little know-how, of course. Just like mixing and matching colors, fabrics, and textures in your decor, and cabinet styles and finishes, you want to follow the rules of good design to strike the perfect balance in your space.

The Rule of Threes

When it comes to decorating, three is the magic number. Odd numbered items are always visually more appealing, and anything more than three will just be overkill. With that said, when it comes to large items like your countertop surface, you may want to go with the less is more approach. If you want to be adventurous, go with three different surface materials but stick to a common hue, or at least a color that compliments your scheme. Or take the more conservative approach and select two completely different surfaces that enhance the overall look of your kitchen. For example, dark granite countertops below your cabinets, paired with a butcher-block top, in a natural finish, on a built-in kitchen island. Whatever you choose, they should be placed apart, but connect visually. 

Practicality and Placement

Butcher Block Island Countertop

In addition to good design, consider practicality and how your surfaces will function. Opt for durable, stain-and-moisture-resistant materials like stainless steel, quartz or granite next to the cooktop or sink, and accent with marble, wood, or tile in areas where you will be baking, or housing canisters and small appliances like your toaster or stand mixer. Kitchen islands are a great focal point in a kitchen, and the perfect place to showcase your style. A raised bar top with extra seating is also a great place to transition between countertop styles.

Color Consideration

Always consider the color of your cabinets and floors first, and choose countertops that compliment both, and tie the two together. When using two separate surfaces, contrast is key. For a balanced look, pair dark perimeter countertops with a neutral or light island, or vice versa. For example, if you have white cabinets, you could opt for black granite with little variation, paired with a veiny white marble. And if you have dark cabinets, you could go with mottled quartz in light tones of brown, and pair that with a charcoal gray stainless steel. If you decide to go for three separate surfaces, keep two tone-on tone, and contrast with the third. For example, cool gray granite and stainless steel, paired with warm wood.

The Recipe For Creating A Gourmet Kitchen

Society Shaker Sage with Brushed Chocolate Glaze – Willow Lane Cabinetry

 

Are you dreaming of a kitchen fit for a foodie? Before you make your dreams a reality, take some time learn about the must-haves of a gourmet kitchen, whether you are a Master Chef, or a homeowner who just really loves to cook!

Start by thinking about the kinds of dishes you like to prepare. Do you dabble in the art of French cooking? Did your Grandmother pass down her famous family recipes to you? Are you a budding pastry chef or cake decorator? Do you like to invite friends over for a home-cooked dinner, or coffee and some freshly baked pie?

Next, consider your new or current floor plan, what you like about it, and what you want to change. If your family likes to help with meal prep, is there enough room for everyone? What tools and appliances do you need and will they fit in your space? Is there ample room for cabinets, or a kitchen island and the extra countertop it affords? Is there plenty of seating options for guests?

Once you review how you use the kitchen, it’s time to make some important decisions. If you are building a new home, or remodeling an existing space, Willow Lane Cabinetry’s Free Kitchen Design Service can help you along the way, but having a clear set of goals will make sure nothing gets left off the plate.

A Taste Of The Gourmet

A Gourmet Kitchen should be both beautiful and functional, with zones for food prep, cooking and baking, serving, and cleaning up when you’re done. Quality kitchen cabinets, high-performance appliances, easy to clean surfaces with plenty of room to work, storage space for cookware, utensils, and other tools of the trade, plus designated areas to keep important ingredients on hand — all these are necessary in a gourmet kitchen. Here are some key features:

A Professional Grade Range: Gourmet cooks prefer gas ranges, or flat induction cooktops that heat quickly and efficiently.

A Double Oven: Because two is better than one when it comes to baking or cooking for a crowd.

A Warming Drawer: A warming drawer allows you keep food warm and fresh until it’s ready to serve with the rest of the meal, so everything is timed perfectly no matter what.

Convection: This option for both ovens and microwaves circulates air around the food to cut down on cook time and ensure an even distribution of heat.

French-Door Refrigerator with Freezer Drawer: The French-door style allows cooks easy access to what’s inside. A freezer drawer offers plenty of space with an ergonomic design.

Dishwasher: A good dishwasher is a must-have for busy kitchens. After all, cooking is way more fun than cleaning.

Countertops: Your countertop is your main workspace. It should be abundant and easy to clean. For durability and stain-resistance, opt for quartz, granite, or stainless steel.

Task Lighting: Both pendant and under cabinet lighting focus on areas where meal prep and cooking happen, so you can see while you work.

Large or Double Sinks: A large sink lets you get all the dirty pots, pans and utensils out of the way while you cook, and simplifies cleanup later.

Tile Backsplash: An easy to clean tile backsplash catches the platters when pan frying, or cooking sauces.

A Kitchen Hood: Functional and attractive, a hood can vent out steam and odors when cooking, and can illuminate the cooktop.

Accessible Spices: Place a spice tray in a drawer near the stove to keep seasonings on hand, or install a door-mounted spice rack for added convenience.

Knife Block: Chefs know knives are their most valuable tools. A trimmable knife block fits in any drawer to store knives nearby for easy access.

Cookware Organizer: Install a hanging pot rack or inside cabinet cookware organizer for all your pots and pans.

Now that you know the recipe for creating a Gourmet Kitchen, let’s get cooking!

How To Make The Most Of A Galley Kitchen

Roosevelt Mocha Vandyke Distress – Willow Lane Cabinetry

 

You say small, we say cozy! The galley kitchen, which earned its name after the tiny quarters where food is prepared on a ship, may have once been a hindrance to a home but today that is no longer the case. Transforming a snug kitchen into a free flowing galley design is a popular and functional way to make the most of skimpy square footage. Follow these tips and find out why homeowners with small kitchens are going for the galley.

Keep Things Straight

A galley kitchen is traditionally narrow and runs vertically. The floor plan consists of two rows of countertop with the walkway in between. Appliances are typically installed following a triangular design so that the range, refrigerator and sink are all centralized. Kitchen cabinets can run on both sides or just one, depending if your kitchen opens up to a living or dining room, or if it is enclosed.

Get Creative to Create Space

Just because your kitchen is small doesn’t mean it has to look that way. There are tons of “design hacks” to make a room feel and appear much larger than it actually is. Start with your color scheme, which should be light and bright. Dark colors can confine a room, while light colors open it up. From the paint on your walls and your cabinet finish to the counter tops and backsplash, choose pale shades to give the illusion of more space. Another easy hack is mirrors. If your kitchen is too crowded to hang mirrors, try a reflective or metallic tile instead. The reflective surface will have a similar effect, and tiles can be placed anywhere — walls, backsplashes, floors and countertops.

Let The Light In

Replace the blinds in your kitchen with semi-sheer curtains to allow more natural light to peak in. If you’re remodeling your entire kitchen, ask your contractor if putting in a skylight is an option. Any way that you can increase the natural light in the room will enhance a galley kitchen design. If a lack of windows or red tape is standing in your way, artificial light will have to suffice. Go with bright white bulbs to mimic sunlight as closely as possible, and consider installing under cabinet lighting for extra glow.

Color Outside The Lines

Society Tidewater – Willow Lane Cabinetry

There’s nothing wrong with straying away from the traditional galley design. Depending on your home, your family and your needs, you may need to make some adjustments to make the galley kitchen work for you. If you can only afford one strip of counter top, a kitchen island might be a close second to achieving the corridor floor plan. Extending to an L-shaped design is okay, too.

Achieve Your Galley Kitchen

Whenever setting out to achieve a specific kitchen style, design is key. Take advantage of Willow Lane Cabinetry’s free kitchen design service, which will get you a custom layout based on your measurements, budget, and style. You will also receive photorealistic renderings so that rather than imagine what your new kitchen will look like, you can see it right before your eyes.

5 Simple Laundry Room Solutions

 

Laundry Room with Cabinetry

 

 

 

 

 

Feeling like your laundry room needs a little TLC? Unsure of what you can do to better organize and decorate such a small but important space? There are a number of ways you can take control and utilize your space to the fullest extent. Here are a few simple laundry room solutions to help you get started:

The Right Appliances

If you are still at the point where you are looking for a washer and dryer, or are overdue for a new one soon, then consider installing a stackable or all-in-one machine. This will leave open space available for adding vertical shelves, storage towers, ironing boards, and more. You could also install flip-down drying racks or drop-down utility tables. If you opt for contemporary side-by-side units, upper cabinetry is a great solution to house detergents, your iron, and other household needs. For front loaders, you can even install a floating countertop above, for folding clean clothes.

Smart Shelving

Natural Wood Top Portable Kitchen Cart/Island in White Finish – Willow Lane CabinetryOpen wall shelving combined with bins and baskets can be a lifesaver when it comes to keeping your laundry room organized and accessible. If you prefer to hide necessities neatly behind closed doors, consider hanging a pair of upper kitchen cabinets above the washer and dryer. This space-saving solution also keeps your items dust and lint-free. If you have a traditional top-loading washer, and a little bit of room to spare, a portable island or cart can be a clever addition to your laundry room. Perfect for storing baskets and cleaning supplies on the open shelves or inside cabinets, the top can also double as a folding area for clothes coming right out of the dryer.

Simple Storage SolutionThree Clothes Hampers

Have extra floor space you’re not sure what to do with? As an alternative to large and unattractive laundry baskets on the floor, add two or three pretty hampers with lids to coral dirty clothes instead. Designating separate laundry bins for colors, whites and darks helps make washing time more efficient, and hides those unsightly (and not-so-pleasant smelling) piles of worn clothing.

Designated Drying

Keep in mind that some clothing needs to avoid the heat of the dryer. Take advantage of extra wall space, and install pretty and functional bars and hooks for hanging damp clothing to dry, or add an open shelf with a bar that allows for hangers to slide.

Play Up the Pretty

Give your laundry room a fresh coat of paint in a cheerful color. Search online sites like Pinterest and Houzz for ideas as to how to organize your laundry room in pretty and creative ways. If you’re good at crafting, create DIY signs with fun slogans, such as “lonely socks seeking soulmates” with clothespins for lost socks. Store pods and powder detergents in glass penny candy jars. Keep a piggy bank on hand for lost coins, or a small decorative trashcan for containing lint and used dryer sheets. Family photographs or childrens’ artwork also instantly add personality to a workspace.

When it comes to freshening up your laundry room, there are a variety of small steps you can take to help you get started. Consider these simple solutions to give your space the makeover it needs and deserves.

6 Metallic Accents To Incorporate Into Your Kitchen

Society Shaker Steel Gray with Black Island – Willow Lane Cabinetry

Metallic finishes are one of the top home design trends for 2016, and there are tons of interesting and eye-catching ways to add this stylish element to your kitchen. Here are a few of our favorite ways:

  1. Metallic Backsplashes

Venetian Glass and Aluminum Tile in Satin Copper – Willow Lane CabinetryA metallic backsplash is definitely a top pick, as well as the easiest way to incorporate this trend into your kitchen. Depending on the layout of your kitchen and how much of a wow-factor you’re trying to achieve, you could tile anything from the small space above your oven to the entire area between your kitchen cabinets and countertops. You will be able to find a wide selection of metallic tiles to achieve the look you want, and can go with either a subtle metallic infused color to complement your current color scheme or a true silver, copper or gold.

  1. Metallic Tile Flooring

There is something incredibly alluring about metallic tile, and it can look amazing when used as flooring within a modern, contemporary, or even traditional kitchen. If you’ve had your mind set on new flooring for a while, consider this unique avenue and choose a tile in a rich color and metallic finish to update your kitchen floors.

  1. Metallic Countertops

Society Shaker Tidewater – Willow Lane CabinetryIf you’re all about stainless steel everything and love industrial kitchen design, go crazy and install a stainless steel countertop.

The monotone color scheme will also leave room for some exciting accessorizing, paint choices, or flooring options. Other metal countertop materials include copper, pewter, and bronze.

  1. Metallic Knobs and Pulls

  1. Metallic Pendant Lights and Seating

Metallic pendant lights can illuminate your kitchen, and come in a large selection of styles and finishes to complement your look. Add industrial metal chairs to a wooden table, or stylish barstools with wooden seats and a metal base to your breakfast bar.

  1. Metallic Hoods and Sinks

A metallic sink is an excellent choice to complete your kitchen. Strong and easy to clean, stainless steel sinks are one of the most popular options today, but copper sinks are a unique alternative that can warm up your kitchen. Although it serves a purpose, adding a stainless steel hood to your kitchen can also give your space an amazing, finished look.

How To Organize Your Pantry Like A Pro

Pasta in Clear, Airtight Containers

Is your pantry out of control, stuffed to the brim, without any semblance of order? Stop the madness and start the New Year right by giving your pantry a much-needed makeover! Here at Willow Lane Cabinetry, we know an organized kitchen is a happy kitchen. Follow these helpful tips to organize your pantry like a pro!

Step 1: Sort And Purge

Before you can tidy up your pantry, you need to sort and purge. That means pulling everything out of your pantry and sorting like items: Pastas in one pile, canned goods in another pile, cereals in the next, and so on. Toss out anything that is stale or past its expiration date. And since it’s the New Year, the same goes for anything you really don’t need, such as unhealthy snacks and sweets.

Step 2: Clean And Spruce

Now that your pantry is empty, pull out those cleaning products and thoroughly wipe down all surfaces and crevices. You may also want to spruce things up by adding some decorative shelf liner, and if necessary, giving the walls a fresh coat of paint.

Step 3: Zone And Label

Once you have eliminated any expired and unwanted pantry goods, and sorted everything accordingly, it’s time to assess what is left. Identify the categories that your remaining items fall under, and create designated, easily accessible zones in your pantry to contain everything. These zones might include breakfast items, baking necessities, jars and sauces, healthy snacks, breads and grains, or whatever suits your needs. Sort canned goods into sub categories such as fruits, vegetables, soups, and beans, and group them neatly on a lower shelf. Place items you use on a daily basis at eye level, and items you use the least often on the top shelf. Once you are finished, label each zone so you can stay organized and quickly find what you need.

Step 4: Organize And Accessorize

Vertical Door Rack for 18" Wide Wall or Base Cabinet – Willow Lane CabinetryHere is where the fun begins! Professional pantry organizers advise that you store your dry ingredients in clear, stackable, airtight containers. This includes flour, sugar, rice, pasta, cereal, and dried beans. Plan your meals at the beginning of each week, and group non-perishable recipe ingredients in separate bins, one for each day. Bins are also great for corralling paper goods, potatoes, onions, coffee and tea, bags of pretzels and chips, and even breads. A well-organized pantry also makes room for cooking necessities, like oils, dried herbs, and spices. These staples should be readily on hand in your pantry. Or better yet, install a door mounted spice rack inside a cabinet door close to your stove for easy access. In addition, our vertical door rack fits an 18” wide wall (or base cabinet), and is the perfect solution for housing foil, plastic wrap and zip-top bags.

Once your pantry is in tip-top shape, you may want to take it step further and organize your kitchen cabinets with additional storage solutions.

How to Mix Different Cabinet Styles in Your Kitchen

If the thought of incorporating more than one style of cabinets in your kitchen sounds crazy, you may want to think again! This top trend is making its way into homes all over the world, and when you learn a little more about it, you’ll understand why it’s so incredibly popular — and you’ll know how to do it right!

3 Rules To Follow

Mixing and matching cabinets refers to the design concept of using more than one style or finish to make up your cabinet set. There are many ways to go about this, but the goal should always be consistency, simplicity and balance.

Consistency: Choose styles that complement each other, but also meld with the theme of your kitchen. Whenever you’re incorporating a somewhat out-of-the-box design element, it’s important that it doesn’t interfere with the overall vision. Being consistent with every decision in your remodel will ensure you get the results you want. The Free Kitchen Design Service at Willow Lane Cabinetry can help you along the way.

Simplicity: Try not to mix more than three styles (two if you have a smaller kitchen). Overboard means overdone and turns an interesting feature into a questionable choice. Keep it simple and limit your focal points to a few great pieces or additions.

Balance: We’ll get more into this later, but deciding exactly where each cabinet style will go in your design is very important. It will eliminate the possibility of cabinets competing for attention and creating chaos in your kitchen.

When It Works

Using multiple cabinet styles works for almost every kitchen theme, from vintage to contemporary. The key is to mix with purpose so that your cabinetry still looks cohesive, even with the inclusion of different styles or finishes. Best practice is to keep styles separate rather than side-by-side. This would just look disorderly (and about as crazy as you imagined when we first introduced the idea). Instead, plan your layout in sections. For example, if you were going with three cabinet styles you would put one along one wall, one along the other, and the third would be your kitchen island. This way you achieve the dimension and diversity, without the disorder.

How To Choose

Mixing and matching cabinet styles is not an official art but it should be. You need great taste and patience — or at least good guidance! The easiest and most efficient way to mix and match is to pick one style (for example, traditional raised panel cabinetry) and two colors (for example, white and dark cherry). If you want to get more advanced you can mix styles within the same theme (for example, stick to traditional style cabinets but in two different door designs) and then add in your color choices. As a rule of thumb, try not to match two cabinets that are clearly different styles, such as traditional, raised panel with modern, flat panel cabinets.
