Elevate your culinary heart with a kitchen remodel by Kaye Construction

By Laura Briedis

Rarely is it more apparent that the kitchen is the heart of the home than during the holidays, when friends and family gather for holiday meals and some cheer. If you are like most homeowners, who wish they had more space to entertain, or just a better flow and function, it’s time to think about renovating your home to get you that dream kitchen you have always wanted.

Kaye Construction, a local, family-owned home remodeling company that has been renovating homes for the past 30 years, gives us a peek ahead to 2024 kitchen remodeling trends.

Wood-Stained and Color Cabinets
While white cabinets are timeless, wood can add more warmth to your space. Instead of honey oak, think creamy maple. Instead of reddish cherry, think natural cherry hues. Instead of knotty pine, think chocolate hickory.

Cabinet manufacturers also are offering more painted cabinets in hues of blue and green that add more personality to your space. If you are not ready to dive into more color and wood, try mixing classic white uppers with colored lowers.

“White will forever be the top-selling cabinet color, but there are a lot more options now,” says Josh Kaye, who, along with his brother Joe and father Ron, owns Kaye Construction. “We just finished a kitchen in Lakewood using black, low-sheen cabinets topped with white granite, and another home in Berea in which we mixed blue and white cabinets to make more of a statement.”

Partnering with Crystal Cabinet Works in Minnesota, Kaye offers quality cabinetry that is custom-made in the United States. “I just returned from touring the cabinet factory where I saw how each cabinet is meticulously made by hand by craftsmen,” Josh says. “If you are looking for affordable, custom-made cabinets, this company offers expert workmanship.”

Clutter-Free Countertops
In addition to putting the garbage can in a pullout drawer and hiding countertop appliances in a cubby, custom cabinetry does so much more to help streamline the kitchen.

You can now put paper towels in a drawer configured over a waste/recycle unit. You can pull out a custom chopping block from a drawer. And everyone would love to have an in-drawer charging station so there are no wires on the countertop. The possibilities are endless.

Storage Galore
While homeowners like to add design elements to their space, the need for storage trumps all. To make kitchens more functional, Kaye Construction can build a butler’s pantry and other dedicated spaces, whether to hold special pieces or for a dedicated coffee bar. The result is a clutter-free look that is as attractive as it is functional.

“By opting for frameless cabinetry, you also can gain more space for storage inside each cabinet,” Josh explains. Often referred to as full-access cabinets, frameless construction offers greater accessibility by eliminating the face frame and relying on its thicker, three-quarter-inch sides, top and bottom for stability.

Specializing in remodeling kitchens and primary luxury bedrooms, as well as building home additions, Kaye Construction is currently booking projects this winter and scheduling new additions in the spring.

At Kaye Construction, Ron, Joe and Josh are all experienced remodelers and handle everything from the ground up.

“You will find the three of us working side-by-side on every project,” says Josh. “Unlike bigger home improvement companies, where you never meet the owners, we oversee each job personally. Our goal has always been to not just beautify homes, but to also make them more functional by changing the footprint and flow. The possibilities are endless when it comes to ways to renovate your home and enhance your living spaces. From concept to completion, let our family help yours.”
