The newest design trends found in renovated kitchens finally answer the age-old question: traditional or modern? The answer…why pick just one, when a customized plan can incorporate both, with a unique, fun and sophisticated style.
The days of minimalistic, sleek, dark wood kitchens has passed, and given way to a new combination of both shabby and chic, with the use of whites, creams and light grays. Kitchen renovations around the country are contrasting stainless steel appliances with one-of-a-kind vintage decorations or restored, rustic antiques. You only need subtle hints of these more classic elements to pop against the modern, clean lines of newly installed, monochromatic cabinets.
Another key is to experiment with oversized islands, tables or chairs. Pick pieces with ornate legs or use crown molding to contrast with a brightly painted wall or backsplash. Finish the look by adding vintage pieces to glass-framed cabinets and hanging modern metal or glass lighting fixtures with geometric shapes.
A traditional remodeling company, with a modern twist.
No matter the latest trends, a perfect remodel should fit your individual style. The right mix of traditional and modern allows for both beauty and comfort—high-end luxury and the warm, inviting feeling of home.

Houzz.com, an online platform for home remodeling and design information, recently published the “2015 Houzz & Home survey.” The survey revealed that more than half of homeowners renovated their homes in 2014. The spike in renovation projects was linked to findings that homeowners 45 to 64 years old finally have money and time to remodel, while homeowners under 44 years old (including Millennials) have recently purchased a house.
The Houzz survey identified Baby Boomers (55+) lead in amount of investment. For example, Baby Boomers (55+) spent, on average, twice as much or more on a kitchen remodel as Millennial homeowners. The survey also found that more than half of households with owners who are over 60 years old are planning to age in place, so home modifications are focused on universal design.
What Drives a Remodel?
The experts at Wineteer Construction agree with the survey findings about the driving factors for making renovation choices. According to the Houzz survey, the top driving factors include:
A majority of 2014’s remodel projects were interior enhancements, rather than necessary improvements to a home’s structure. Homeowners focused on remodeling their kitchen, bath and living/family room spaces.

Houzz.com, an online platform for home remodeling and design information, recently published the “2015 Houzz & Home survey”—an overview of U.S. renovations in 2014. The numbers are based on an online survey of 170,000 registered users, who tackled a remodeling project in 2014 or plan to start one in 2015.
For U.S. homeowners 35 to 64 years old, the leading factor in kicking off a renovation project was finally having the financial means to put long-awaited plans into action. The income levels of the survey respondents were evenly split, but nearly 50% estimated their home value at $200,000 to under $500,000.
In 2014, Houzz found that 69 percent of renovations were kitchen and bathroom projects, with paint, lighting, bathroom plumbing fixtures, flooring and countertops topping the list of planned purchases. Speaking of planning, the majority of projects take one to five months to get from the design stage to start of construction.
A Reasonable Budget
The Houzz survey found that most homeowners are leveraging personal savings to fund renovations, with only 25 percent charging expenses to a credit card and only 10 percent taking out a loan. You might be asking: If the preferred method of financing a remodeling project is savings, then how much should I save?
“Major kitchen remodels, which at a minimum include replacing all kitchen cabinetry and appliances within the existing home footprint, run on average $29,400 for a smaller kitchen (200 square feet or less) and $42,400 for a larger kitchen (more than 200 square feet),” according to the survey. “Major bathroom remodels, which at a minimum include replacing bathroom cabinetry/vanity, toilet and countertops within the existing home footprint, run on average $10,500 for a smaller master bathroom (100 square feet or less) and $18,800 for a larger master bathroom (more than 100 square feet).”
The Right Service Provider
Finding the right service provider is at the top of the list for renovation challenges. In 2014, four in five homeowners renovated their homes with professional help, from general contractors to kitchen/bath remodelers, as well as specialty service providers (like electricians, plumbers or HVAC) and designers, including landscape architects.
For most homeowners, picking a remodeling professional relies heavily on reviews and word-of-mouth. However, millennials are twice as likely as baby boomers to base this decision on the lowest price.
But remember, hiring the best service provider—a high-quality firm like Wineteer Construction—means other hassles like finding the right products or materials, staying on schedule and dealing with the unexpected will be much easier to navigate!
Homer, The Wisest Owl, and Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists Share Expertise for National Safety Month
Homer is an informational resource for care providers to find reliable answers about home modification and aging in place. Homer will provide wise information and offer explanations for a variety of challenges, faced by both families and providers.
“Our team has great plans for Homer,” said LifeWise Renovations Vice President of Business Development Katy Dodd, who engages with several local and national providers that struggle keeping patients safe once returning home. “Homer will swoop in to share tips for incorporating universal design trends and resources on various physical and cognitive impairments.”
LifeWise Renovations is committed to sharing techniques for improving quality of life and ensuring a home is safe for the entire family. For National Safety Month, our expert team has focused on fall prevention.
“Each year, millions of adults fall, which is the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries for people aged 65 and older,” said Kathy Dodd, an equity partner at LifeWise Renovations, who is one of the nation’s most accomplished home care and post-acute care experts. “These injuries (head trauma and fractures to the spine, hip, arm, leg, ankle and hand) can drastically decrease a person’s ability to live independently or have an active life.”
The certified aging-in-place specialists at LifeWise Renovations are experts at transforming a home with a customized plan of attack, specific for each unique client. Now, the Kansas City-based company is offering another tool to address the “accessible fitness” of a home—the LifeWise Certified Home™.
A LifeWise Certified Home™ is evaluated and approved by the LifeWise Renovations’ team as a home suitable for aging in place. Certification is a voluntary rating system, which promotes homes that were either fully or partially designed for accessibility and longevity.
The top benefits of a LifeWise Certified Home™ are increased functionality, a custom-tailored plan to meet specific needs, an extended warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship, and increased peace of mind.
Physically, the kitchen is located at the center of most houses. And emotionally, the kitchen is also at the center of a home. Friends and family members gather in the kitchen to relax from the stress of daily pressures, enjoy good food and good company. Basically, the kitchen is where you go for some simple love.
New cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, appliances with all the modern amenities, recessed lighting fixtures…This long list is an overwhelming chore for a part-time handyman or independent contractor.
