Remodeling Your Kitchen This Fall? Here’s What You Need

October 7th, 2021

A kitchen remodel in Bucks County means homeowners have the opportunity to create the kitchen of their dreams. They can highlight the features they want, incorporate modern kitchen design flourishes, and be better prepared to entertain guests at all times. However, to bring your renovation and remodel to life, keeping an eye on specific trends can help breathe new life into your space.

Multi-Functional Spaces

When it comes to home improvement kitchen ideas, you have to understand the evolving needs of modern homes. With more people working from home and transitioning to full-time remote work, finding a space that can double as a home office remains essential. More home remodeling projects are seeing homeowners opt to include a workspace within their kitchen that operates as a small office to get work done — and be closer to the snacks.

Unique Storage Solutions

With most kitchens, it becomes a battle revolving around the available storage space. Custom cabinets, islands, closets, and pantries provide you with some space, but it can quickly become insufficient if you don’t plan properly. During a remodel, finding kitchen cabinet solutions that provide versatile storage solutions.

In addition to the versatile cabinetry, utilizing open shelving allows you to use more of the available space. Using shelves to hold different spices, cooking utensils, and other kitchen essentials helps to free up space in other areas and provides you the chance to organize your space how you want it.

Dark Tones

Picking the right color scheme for your kitchen will set the tone for the next 10-15 years — the average time between kitchen remodeling projects. With the current trends, darker hues and tones have become the most popular option. These darker tones provide a more lived-in feel than the stark white counterparts that were a recent popular trend. Opting for dark color schemes, stained wood, and organic stone countertops creates a warm and cozy atmosphere for the most trafficked room in your home.

Backsplashes with Pizzazz

Homeowners that opt for muted and earthy tones with their paint, counters, and cabinets may still want to find one area where they add more personality to their kitchen design. Backsplashes can provide the optimal canvas to provide a complementary color contrast to your darker earthy tones.

Brass Light Fixtures

How you light a room plays a significant role in how people perceive it when they first enter it. With different options available to compliment any warm natural light that may enter your kitchen, picking the right light fixtures to accentuate the room can provide a brighter feeling to your kitchen. As the days get darker earlier, the light reflected off the brass fixtures will help better illuminate your space.

Munz Construction has done a number of large projects for us at our home over the past 18 yrs. They have always done a great job. Their workers are good and very courteous. We have always felt very comfortable with them in our house, especially Phil and Jason. Steve and Pete are easy to work with and are responsive to questions/issues. Bryan is very helpful when you need to make selections for your projects. The company stands behind their work and provides quality in a timely fashion, which can't be said for a lot of other companies these days. We would definitely recommend them!

Munz Construction did an amazing job with our basement remodel. The entire team was so pleasant to work with. Everyone that has come to our home since the remodel has been thoroughly impressed with the design. It really was a great experience to work with everyone at Munz. I’d like to also add that my husband tends to be an “overspender” and I am the complete opposite... so from the very start of our project , the design team made sure we were both comfortable with all of our selections. They always showed numerous options and price points for different things. So in the end, my husband and I were both so happy with everything. Thanks Munz, we’ll definitely use you again.

I did a major renovation of a 40 year old house. While touching virtually every room, the most significant changes included creating a new custom kitchen by combining the existing kitchen with a small dining room, creating a new master bedroom and converting a small bedroom into a large new master bathroom. I had contacted several well known home renovation companies who either did not seem to be interested in the large project or did not seem to offer the “full service” and support I needed. Steve and Bryan spent all the time I needed to make me comfortable making all the design decisions – not an easy task since I am design challenged! Any issues that came up, as would be expected in a project this size, were addressed. In addition, everyone made living in the house during construction as comfortable as possible. I would also like to say that the attention to detail and the finishing work done by their people was remarkable. The final results are fantastic! Needless to say I would use them again for any project and would highly recommend Munz Construction.

Chris and his crew were amazing! They added an addition that "touched" every room in the house. His workers were kind, courteous, and respectful AND they got the job done in a timely manner with WONDERFUL results. We love our new addition. We have the BEST house on the block!!!!

We were gutting and remodeling an old house that needed major work but that we didn’t want to tear down. Given the time and cost involved, we were very deliberate with our choice of contractor. We are very glad we chose Munz Construction as dealing with all of their employees was a pleasure from Day One (and the project took about a year so we had lots of contact). They always suggested ways to cut costs, had good suggestions to modify the blueprints to our advantage and never pushed unnecessary ideas. The design team was especially helpful as their three-dimensional computer models really gave us good insight into the final product and allowed us to make pre-construction tweaks of which we otherwise would not have thought. Munz was also very good about fixing things without complaint. As we approach one year in our new house, we are very happy and also receive lots of compliments on the design and preservation of the house.

We are very pleased with Munz Construction. We had the front of our house framed for new windows, new siding, stucco removal, new gutters, lighting etc. They helped with design ideas upfront and the house looks amazing. Erich and his team were very pleasant, professional and detail oriented. We would definitely use them again for any additional work in the future.

Everyone at Munz that we had the pleasure of working with were wonderful. From the beginning of our project, until the end everyone worked so hard. We had a new room, bathroom, and a beautiful porch put on our house. We are extremely happy. I would highly recommend this company.

Had great experience with Pete, our site manager, as well as Jason (construction), Jack (electrician ), Dave (painter), and all of the other subcontractors. Very clean, professional, pleasant. I found the initial process of general design less than ideal. Having little experience with this process, I didn't feel as informed as I could have been. I expected there may be options in layout and design, but that was not the case. In fact, the original design presented to us didn't really show a layout at all, merely a word document of what would be done. I was slightly taken aback when, e.g., there was no option for any kind of linen storage in the bathroom as the design completely removed a large closet that we had in order to make room for a stall shower. It was assumed we would want a whirlpool tub, and we weren't really asked about that option. These kinds of things made me a little uncomfortable with going forward. To us, it was a very expensive job, and yet I felt like it was not considered an important one when we sat with the designer. We felt much more comfortable when Pete met with us to go over the job expectations. There were very few glitches along the way, and Pete handled each of these very professionally. The work as completed is very good, and we are very happy with the end result.
