Kitchen cabinets make a move towards the modern!
Trending kitchen cabinet designs The kitchen is the heart of every home. Not only does it need to be functional, but as the hub of your family life, it also has to be visually stunning. To this effect, kitchen cabinets have moved away from the rustic and classical designs of previous years. In an effort to become more modern and sleek, cabinetry has adopted a new seamless style combining appearance and functionality.
A minimalistic approach Kitchens have become increasingly streamlined over the years. Gone are the days of raised panel doors, excess
ornamentation and crown moldings. Instead, you’ll find a more European approach emphasizing horizontal lines and an obvious absence of patterns. Full-overlay cabinetry is brought to the ceiling and flat-panel doors are outfitted with basic chrome or stainless steel hardware—anything and everything to create that sleek and unadorned look. Inspired by your tastes You’ll encounter a varied selection of cabinets when attempting to tailor the design of your kitchen to your style and needs. Melamine continues to be
a popular choice for many kitchens. Installing solid wood cabinets will increase the value of any home, but they are more expensive than other materials such as veneer and thermoplastic. And color choices, while often influenced by natural light, will vary depending on your personal taste and style. Consulting a renovation specialist is always a good idea when looking to make your kitchen more modern. Their expertise and personalized assistance will help you select and install the right cabinets for your kitchen.
On average, the process of breaking into a home usually takes a burglar between two and four minutes. It can be even quicker if the thief enters through a window—easily broken in under a minute. However, it takes more than five minutes to break a burglar-proof window,—and that’s using special tools. This added security helps to discourage most burglars, who will likely leave your house untouched in favor of an easier target. Contact your local window manufacturers and installers to obtain more information about these types of windows. They’ll be able to answer any questions you may have with regards to your current needs. And if you’re somewhat restricted by your budget, think about changing only the most accessible windows of your home, like those in the basement or on the first floor.
PAGE A5 Friday, December 30, 2016
These windows are made from either single- or double- glazed safety glass that’s been reinforced with several layers of durable transparent film. This process makes them very resistant, with the added bonus of soundproofing your home at the same time. They’ll help to delay—and even debar—an attempt to enter your home.
Your home’s windows are an accessible point of entry for would-be burglars. In most cases, it takes them little time and minimal effort to pick a lowend lock or simply force one open. Luckily, window manufacturers offer a range of burglar-proof windows that will discourage even the most ambitious of thieves from entering your home.

Here are a few ideas to inspire you for your next lighting project. Place LED strips: • Under beds, couches or even the edge of a podium bath • Under or above your kitchen cabinets • Under the shelves in your office • Around your deck or pool • In the cab interior of your RV A beautiful glow Unlike their compact fluorescent counterparts, LED bulbs give off a warm glow and virtually no glare. Tailored to indoor lighting, they evenly distribute the light to help bathe the room in soft and welcoming colors. This will help make the room feel bigger and will bring out any stylish architectural elements you may have.

Shed some new light The traditional use of direct overhead lighting can feel cold and sterile. What’s more, the glare from these lights is rarely forgiving when it comes to your home’s blemishes and imperfections. LED strips, on the other hand, are easily installed, use very little energy and have a very long lifespan. They’re also perfect when looking to add a calming atmosphere or creative flair to a given room.
Hidden light sources are the perfect idea for any lighting design project in your home. Whether it’s under beds, along baseboards or above cabinets, flexible, indirect LED lighting strips can be installed virtually anywhere you want. These light emitting diodes are a great alternative to direct overhead lighting and they’ll provide any room with warmth and character.
