Kitchen remodels costs have gone up along with the price of houses. Lumber, supply, and demand and of course, labor costs have all influenced the total costs. The average price of a full kitchen remodel in Rochester now starts around $40,000 for a full tear out and replacement. If you are taking down a load bearing wall, plan to add around $10,000 depending on what is inside. Appliance packages can easily range from $6,000 - $25,000 depending on your taste and the features that you select to make your life easier. Like many things in life, the more you spend, the more you get.

It is important to remember that a kitchen remodel is still the best way to increase the value of your home. It can also be a wonderful way to differentiate your home from another when you plan on selling.

Here at The Inde Design Studio, we love to experiment with trends going on in the design world, but we want you love your home for longer than a short-lived fad.

A wonderful way to incorporate a cool trend in your home with out going too out of the box is lighting! One trend that we have played with in our kitchen and bath remodels is mixing metals! Mixing different metal finishes allows you to incorporate different looks throughout your space, while keeping things cohesive.

Two of the most popular combinations we have seen is black and gold, and black and stainless. Picking a light fixture with a combo of finishes is a fantastic way to mix metals in other aspects of your space like hardware and accessories.

Another trend we have seen is bold fixtures being the focal point of a room. If you like to keep things simple but do not want to make your space to feel plain, a simple update would be changing your light fixture to something bold. Whether it is a pop of color, texture, or structure, it is an effortless way to make a statement in your space that will catch one’s eye.

Lighting Trends

When I first meet with customers, one of my first questions is always what do you love and hate about your existing kitchen? One of the top complaints I hear is lighting. Are you one of the majorities of homeowners in Rochester with a single light in the middle of your kitchen? The one that casts a shadow right into your workspace when you are working at the countertop. That is just the way that homes used to be built.

Today, there are so many ways to add brightness to the kitchen. It is important to layer lighting. There is ambient, which lights the entire room, task lighting, like under-cabinet or in-cabinet lights and decorative fixtures which typically are beautiful but do not cast a lot of light in the space.

Can you add a window to the space? This can make a significant difference in the overall brightness of the space, but it is important to know if the sunlight will be in the room before you make this investment.

Looking for a quick fix without a whole remodel? Do not be afraid of adding a light and bright color on the walls of a room to make a quick, cost-effective change to your existing space. You can also change out your countertop to something lighter if your cabinets are in great shape and ready for another 10 years of use.

Tips for adding brightness to kitchen

Selecting appliances for your kitchen should be done early on for your kitchen remodel. Your designer will need to know sizes to finalize the design, but they should take plenty of time to discuss with you what sizes make sense for your lifestyle. It is important to remember that the price of an appliance suite can range between $6,000 - $25,000 depending on your taste and the features you select. I always tell my clients that the more you spend, the more you get. Many of the manufacturers have multiple lines of products to hit every buyer’s budget. Spending more usually means more features and more durability, even though the warranty remains standard at 1 year.

Selecting your units can be overwhelming. It is most important to make a list of must haves before you go to the store or sit down with a professional. Do you need a large door space for a gallon of milk? An oven that self-cleans? How about an oven that doubles as an air fryer? If you are looking for a fridge that is the same depth as your countertops and you have a family, expect that it will be wider and taller than your typical refrigerator to keep the cubic feet large enough for a family. There are many options to consider, working with a professional can ensure you get the most desirable finished kitchen.

Kitchen Appliances

Have you been wondering what other kitchen remodels look like in Rochester? The market has been strong for more than two years now. After being quarantined in our homes, many people found out exactly what they did not like about their existing space – especially in the kitchen. Combine that with a hot housing market, and voila, remodel boom!

White kitchens are still all the range in Rochester, with two toned kitchens catching up quickly. At Inde, we see many customers doing different colors on their island or changing it up on the wall cabinets. Function and purpose are still leading the charge with customer requests. Hiding the garbage in a cabinet, organizing their pantry, and sliding shelves so you no longer must get on your hands and knees to get into the back of your cabinets.

The Inde Design Studio would like to celebrate the 2022 Sherwin Williams’ Color of the Year, 

, it is a “Soothing, subtle, and a perfect shade to freshen up any space.” We like Evergreen Fog for its versatile color that can be used for kitchen/bathroom cabinetry, as an accent wall, or for your whole room! This color has the power to elevate any space in your home, creating depth and dimension in every room. It is a great addition to any neutral color palettes existing throughout your home, or a great jumping off point to create a new one! Evergreen Fog pairs well with browns, creamy whites, and dark bronze- complimenting saddle leather & gold finishes! This color is perfect for farmhouse cabinetry and makes floating shelves pop.

SHERWIN WILLIAMS COLOR OF THE YEAR

Not everyone has a large walk-in closet, or even the amount of storage space that they really want in a home. This makes closet design important. Using every square inch, you have in the most effective way allows you to maximize your space.

What are you looking to organize? Did you know you could buy a linen closet to match your bathroom vanity that is as small as twelve” wide? With adjustable shelves, you could find the appropriate space for your towels and have room to tuck away spare bottles of shampoo or body wash.

Do you have an existing linen closet that was built by someone who didn’t think about flexibility? The professionals at The Inde Design Studio in Rochester, NY can modify almost any space to fit your needs. Add a built-in laundry basket, shoe racks, tie & belt holders, or even built-in drawers. Imagine if you could eliminate the need for dressers taking up valuable space in your bedroom.

Closet Design for your happiness!

So many customers come into The Inde Design Studio in Rochester, NY with an idea of what they want their kitchen to look like. They know the style and the color they want their kitchen remodel to be. But not all clients have thought about how they want their kitchen to function.

One of the most important aspects of a kitchen redesign is storage! If you are a baker, let’s find space for a baking station. Vertical storage is so important so you can easily access your cookie sheets, Pyrex dishes and cupcake pans. Did you know that there is a cabinet made to bring your KitchenAid mixer to the counter?

Another popular storage need of clients is a place to keep their coffee or wine. Did you know that you can hide small appliances on the counter with a functional pocket or lift door? It keeps your space looking stylish and clean all while allowing you to keep your daily “must-haves” readily accessible.

Storage Style in your Kitchen

When putting together an estimate for a remodeling project that includes so many choices, it’s important to really understand what a customer is looking for. Are you replacing, refinishing, or simply keeping your existing floor as is? Do you prefer the look of quartz or granite? White cabinets or hickory? Each of these options come with a different cost.

At The Inde Design Studio in Rochester, NY, we take the time to really understand what it is that each client is looking for so we can put together a realistic estimate by building allowances. An allowance should include all aspects of the project, no matter how small, including pendant lights over the island or a new chandelier over the dining room table. Don’t forget a new garbage disposal or even grout for your backsplash. These details can add up and should be considered from the beginning of your project.

An allowance is helpful for you to understand how much your project can cost and helps us to guide you during selections to keep you in budget.

What is a product allowance?

Having a functional, organized closet system can change how your day starts. Making sure you have the proper storage for all your items, whether that is your clothes, belts, shoes, bags, or hats, is important. Do you tend to hang your clothes or like them placed in drawers? The good news is most closet systems have options for either.

One thing to keep in mind is there is no right or wrong way to organize due to each person having different items in their closets. You may have a ton of sweaters that need shelves while others have more hanging items that need hangers. What we suggest before tackling a closet change is to decide how you prefer to have your items stored. Then plan on how many you will need of each type, whether it is hanging, shelves, baskets, or drawers.

Nice features that closet systems offer is accessory holders, belt racks, scarf racks, hanging rods to hang your next day outfits and more. Another item that is becoming more popular is adding an ironing board pullout in your closet. Conveniently now located in your closet, no more struggling to find your iron and ironing board, it is right there when needed!

A remodeled, organized closet can make your life much easier. Having a place for everything reduces stress and leads to productivity. The Inde Design Studio in Rochester, NY has great options to organize your space.

One of the most important decisions you will make when remodeling your Rochester kitchen or bath is, “Which colors will I use?”

Color is such a personal choice! Some people love a neutral palette and others enjoy bright colors. Wherever you fall in the color spectrum, choosing the right color combination can enhance your project. The Inde Design Studio process takes all your surfaces into consideration. Color tones and textures are examined for compatibility every step of the way.

Two colors can be “white,” but one can be cool toned and another warm toned. Finding the right shades to compliment each other makes a space feel finished and cohesive. At Inde the designers build “Vision Boards” with samples of countertops, cabinetry, flooring, tile, paint colors and flooring to see and touch the materials all together. It is a wonderful way to make decisions about which color palettes and textures meet your needs.
