2012 Trend Alert: White Contemporary Kitchens

White is the most timeless kitchen color around. Unlike color tones and wood stains that can shift with fashion tides, a well-designed white kitchen will never look dated. The color white helps create shadows and contrasts that emphasize planes and surfaces, and also can help your space look larger.

White kitchens look very sharp and project a contemporary feel. This lends credence to the benefit of combining elements from different styles and different colors for greater sophistication. White gives you maximum flexibility for changing up accessories either seasonally or whenever the fancy strikes.

There are many countertop options to accommodate the white kitchen trend.

White, the new “it” color of the season!

One of our favorite blogs “The Granite Gurus” posted today about “white” being the new hot trend for kitchen and bath design this year. So, I got curious and thought I’d browse around a bit to put their statement to the test. Sure enough, after typing in “White for Kitchens and Baths” one of the first in the search results was Better Homes and Gardens Magazine “Our Kitchen and Bath Magazines”.  Of course the title doesn’t lead directly into proving my point, but the beauty shots do. After seeing white kitchen after white bath, the underlying tone is that white is back.

One of the best surfaces on the market for a white kitchen is Corian Solid Surface. DuPont created this popular category more than 30 years ago and continues to earn trust and respect as time goes by. The Countertop Source at Surface Products is a proud carrier of Corian and we would be happy to assist you as you design you kitchen (white or not) with this versatile, durable and beautiful countertop choice. Please take a look at the beauty shots below. Hopefully they’ll inspire you! Contact us today (704) 896-8677

NKBA Shows Rise in Revenue Since 2010

The third-quarter, 2011 Kitchen and Bath Market Report from the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) was released this month revealing some encouraging news. The results indicated a rise in showroom traffic and an increase in kitchen remodels from one year ago. Bathroom remodels have declined since the second quarter but results show an overall increase from last year.

NKBA’s survey of NKBA dealers offers a promising outlook for fabricators in the coming year. It can only be predicted that kitchen and bath remodels will continue to prevail as the housing market struggles back to its feet. It’s common knowledge that homeowners are turning to home improvement rather than moving into a new home. It’s a perfect time for this industry to continually pursue new prospects and to get their name out there while the focus is on remodeling!

About the National Kitchen & Bath Association
The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) is a non-profit trade association with nearly 40,000 members that has educated and led the kitchen and bath industry for more than 45 years. To learn more, visit the NKBA Press Room or call 1-800-THE-NKBA (843-6522).
