Considering open shelving? Here's an honest take from our designers on when it works vs. when it doesn't.

✅ Open shelving makes sense when:
• You reach up for those items every day (daily plates, bowls, glasses, coffee setup)
• You want a small kitchen to feel more open
• You're displaying curated pieces (ceramics, cookbooks, plants)
• You're willing to keep it tidy

❌ Open shelving struggles when:
• Storage needs are high
• Items you'd store don't look consistent together
• Your kitchen sees heavy cooking, steam, or grease
• You'd rather close a door on the clutter at the end of the day (no judgment!)

How you live in your kitchen matters more than any design trend. Our team can help you figure out what's best, or how a hybrid approach could work, before you commit.

Not every remodel has the same demands or budget. That's why we find ourselves recommending Wilsonart — they have a lot of options.

Here's a quick breakdown of their most-loved countertop materials:

🔸 Quartz - For the kitchen that needs to look exceptional and hold up to heavy use.
🔸 Solid Surface - Seamless, repairable, and a great fit for bathrooms where integrated sinks make a big impact.
🔸 Laminate - More design range than most people realize. Get everything from realistic stone looks to bold patterns at a very accessible price point.

Whatever your project scope or budget, Wilsonart has a surface that fits. Available at Standard Kitchens.

What's landing in kitchens and bath this fall isn't dramatic. It's deliberate.

Here's what our designers are seeing in showroom consultations right now:

🪵 Warm wood tones - Natural oak and walnut finishes are replacing cooler gray palettes.
🪨 Bolder countertop movement - High-contrast veining, deep backgrounds, dramatic patterns.
💡 Layered lighting - Under-cabinet, pendant, and recessed working together.
🪴 Texture over gloss - Matte cabinet finishes, honed stone, textured tile backsplash.

Curious what any of this looks like applied to your space? Come see it in the showroom.

A countertop's edge profile may seem like a small detail, but it has a big impact on the finished look of a kitchen.

Here are a few common options ⬇️

• Eased — Clean, simple, and works with nearly any design style.
• Beveled — Angled edges add subtle definition and a more traditional feel.
• Ogee — Decorative curves create a classic, elegant look.
• Waterfall — The countertop continues down the side of the cabinetry for a bold, modern statement.

The right edge profile helps tie together the style of your kitchen, and it's worth considering almost as carefully as the countertop material and color.

Design trends come and go, but some cabinet colors continue to look great year after year.

Some of our timeless favorites:

🤍 Warm white
🌾 Soft greige
🪵 Natural wood tones
🌿 Deep green
🌊 Navy blue

These colors work well because they're versatile, easy to pair with a variety of countertops and flooring, and less likely to feel dated as design trends change.

Quartz countertops are one of the easiest surfaces to maintain. A few simple habits will keep them looking their best.

✔️ Clean daily with warm water, a soft cloth, and mild dish soap.
✔️ Wipe up spills promptly, especially coffee, w**e, oils, and sauces.
✔️ Use cutting boards instead of cutting directly on the countertop.
✔️ Place hot pots and pans on trivets rather than directly on the countertop.

Avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh cleaners, and products containing bleach, which can dull the finish over time. The beauty of quartz countertops is that they don't need all that fuss!

Most kitchen remodel regrets aren't about style. They're about function.

Here are a few we hear about most often:

😫 Not enough storage
If your cabinets don't fit the way you cook and live, you'll notice. Every. Day.

❌ Too few drawers
Deep drawers are often more practical than lower cabinets for pots, pans, and dishes.

💡 Poor lighting
Layered lighting will make meal prep easier and completely change the feel of your kitchen.

🏝️ An undersized island
If space allows, a large island will quickly become the most-used surface in your home.

🔥 Choosing trends over lifestyle
A beautiful kitchen should also work for your family's everyday routine.

The best remodels are designed to look great AND make daily life easier!

High-gloss is great, but isn't your only option. Choosing the right stone countertop finish can completely change the performance and vibe of a room.

• Polished = High shine, maximizes light, but reflects glare and shows fingerprints
• Matte = Matte or textured finishes that soften ambient lighting, hide water spots, and add an organic feel

Visit our showroom to see (and feel) the tactile difference in person.
