Your Culinary Haven: Expert Kitchen Design for Your Lifestyle

The kitchen: it’s more than a place to cook; it’s the vibrant heart of your home, a hub for family gatherings, and a reflection of your personal style. If you’re considering a kitchen design for your lifestyle in the Minneapolis or St. Paul area, you’re embarking on an exciting journey to create a space that truly works for you. With 45 years of experience transforming homes in the Twin Cities, Roberts’ Residential Remodeling specializes in crafting custom kitchens that seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics. Let’s explore key elements to inspire your dream remodel.

The Centerpiece: Tailoring Your Kitchen Island Design to Your Needs

Having our own dedicated millwork shop allows us to create the perfect cabinetry, shelving and decorative trim, delivering a wide range of benefits for homeowners.

• Island Seating: Imagine casual meals, homework sessions, or friendly chats happening at your island. An overhang with comfortable seating transforms it into an informal dining and social zone. Determine the ideal number of seats to accommodate your family and guests.
• Integrating Functionality: Should your island house the sink? This can optimize workflow and create a more interactive cooking space. Plumbing location and the potential for splashes are also a consideration. Similarly, integrating a cooktop requires ventilation planning. Consider the convenience of an island dishwasher versus workflow considerations. Thoughtful appliance placement is a key to effective kitchen design.

Unlock Smart Storage with Custom Kitchen Cabinets Designed for You

Custom kitchen cabinets are paramount in achieving a kitchen that’s both beautiful and highly functional. Our in-house millwork shop allows us to create the perfect storage solutions.  Some things to consider in your cabinet designs:

• Upper Cabinet Height: Maximize storage and achieve a sleek, modern look with full-height upper cabinets that extend to the ceiling, minimizing dust. Alternatively, a soffit above can offer a display area but reduces storage capacity. The choice impacts the overall feel of your kitchen.
• Drawers vs. Shelves: For lower cabinets, prioritize drawers for easy access and organization. In upper cabinets, a combination works well, with shelves for frequently used items and drawers for smaller essentials. Efficient storage is key to a well-designed kitchen.
• Corner Cabinet Solutions: Don’t let corner spaces go to waste! Explore innovative solutions like lazy Susans, multi-directional pull-out shelving, or custom-shaped drawers to maximize every inch of your kitchen.
• Personalized Features: This is where your unique needs shine. Imagine a custom pantry with roll-out shelves for organized food storage, an appliance garage to reduce countertop clutter, or a dedicated beverage station for coffee aficionados or wine enthusiasts. Our custom millwork expertise allows us to seamlessly integrate these features into your kitchen.

The Finishing Touches: Light, Materials, and Color in Your Custom Kitchen

The final design elements significantly impact the ambiance and functionality of your kitchen:

• Natural Light: Bring in natural light with strategically placed windows, considering their impact on workspaces. Think about window treatments that offer both light control and privacy, enhancing the usability of your kitchen throughout the day.
• Backsplash Statements: The backsplash is an opportunity to inject personality and protect your walls. Consider materials like tile, stone slabs, or even unique options like metal or reclaimed wood, ensuring it complements your overall kitchen design and is easy to maintain.
• Flooring Foundations: Durability, comfort, and aesthetics are crucial for flooring choices. Options range from hardwood and tile to luxury vinyl plank, each offering different benefits in terms of wear and tear and style. Choose a flooring that suits your lifestyle and complements your kitchen design.
• Color Palettes: Paint and stain colors set the mood. Light, neutral tones can create a spacious feel, while bolder colors add personality. Consider how natural light interacts with your chosen palette. For custom cabinets crafted in our shop, the wood species and stain color will significantly influence the overall aesthetic of your kitchen.
