TOP 6 KITCHEN DESIGN TRENDS

TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2024

THE KITCHEN, OFTEN CONSIDERED THE HEART OF A HOME, HAS WITNESSED EVOLVING DESIGN TRENDS. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE ANTICIPATED 2024 KITCHEN DESIGN TRENDS, AS HIGHLIGHTED BY EXPERTS.

MURAT DEMIRCAN

BRIGHTER COLORS Kitchens adorned with bright, vibrant colors, instead of neutral tones, are expected to become more common in 2024. Splashy colors can be an effective way to add a unique and bold touch to the space.

CUSTOM CABINETS FOR APPLIANCES

SIDEKIX MEDIA

Blenders, rice cookers, toasters, and waffle irons are just a few of the many common kitchen appliances. Cluttering countertops with these tools or placing them in lower cabinets, which can be harder to access, has become a prevalent habit. However, this is projected to change in 2024.

Cabinets uniquely designed to store appliances free up space, alleviate the stress of navigating the kitchen, and spare people from having to rummage through large lower cabinets to find the appliances they’re looking for.

SOFTER KITCHEN ISLANDS For decades, kitchen islands have featured sharp corners that would hurt upon impact. In the coming year, we can anticipate a rise in kitchen islands with rounder, softer corners. Some experts believe rounder kitchen islands help soften the room’s aesthetic, creating a more inviting atmosphere. As an added bonus, the curvier design adds a safety benefit, particularly for children who are more active and elderly people with more limited mobility.

AL LAMBE

SIDEKIX MEDIA

COFFEE CORNERS Professional designers confirm that coffee corners are an on-the-rise kitchen trend, making mornings significantly easier. These dedicated spaces ensure that everything you need is in one place, eliminating the need to go back and forth throughout the kitchen for sugar, cups, and other essentials. This not only affords convenience but also facilitates a quicker and smoother start to the day.

TONED SUPPLEMENTARY LIGHTING Kitchen lighting has traditionally been very bright, but this comes with downsides such as excessive glare. Design experts note that subtle lighting is a kitchen trend to anticipate for the upcoming year. Many are finding that toned-down lighting not only creates a calming ambiance but also offers great aesthetic appeal without sacrificing visibility.

CLAY ELLIOT

TEXTURED TILES In an era where individuals aim to bring more personality into their kitchens, textured tiles emerge as a sure trend for 2024 kitchen design. These tiles are meant to impart warmth, style, and a welcoming ambiance. Also, many textured tiles complement the brighter colors that people are increasingly embracing in their kitchen design choices.

British Columbia has some of Canada’s most breathtaking and globally renowned ski resorts. We've highlighted some of British Columbia's top ski resorts for an unparalleled skiing or snowboarding experience.

WHISTLER BLACKCOMB

B I G W H I T E S K I R E S O RT | H O L LY B O O K E R

The world-famous Whistler Blackcomb is the largest resort of its kind in North America, attracting an incredible number of guests every winter. Whistler Blackcomb has 8,171 acres of skiable terrain and the world’s highest and longest continuous lift system. As the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, it has become a legendary destination on the bucket lists of many skiers and snowboarders.

W H I ST L E R B L AC KCO M B | S I E R R A M

BIG WHITE SKI RESORT Big White is a family-friendly resort located a short drive from Kelowna in the Okanagan Highlands. It covers an expansive area with 119 trails catering to skiers and snowboarders of all experience levels. And with 16 on-site lifts, it easily accommodates a substantial number of visitors. The resort also features an ice skating rink, a tubing area, and more.

SILVERSTAR MOUNTAIN RESORT SilverStar, one of the largest resorts in British Columbia, offers 3,282 acres of skiable terrain. With 132 runs and premium lodging options, there’s plenty for visitors to explore during a mountain getaway.

SUN PEAKS Sun Peaks, located near Kamloops, is a charming resort that stands among the top ski destinations in the province, owing to its substantial size. As the second-largest resort in the country in terms of skiable terrain, it offers over 4,270 acres to explore.

The resort’s tallest chairlift elevates visitors to nearly 7,000 feet above the ground, allowing for serious downhill adventuring. Also, Sun Peaks features a delightful village for visitors to enjoy.

APEX MOUNTAIN RESORT Apex is a top-notch resort in the Okanagan Valley that presents a fantastic option without the sizable crowds often found at other ski destinations in the province. Despite being comparatively smaller, with 1,112 skiable acres, 80 runs, and four lifts, the resort’s light champagne powder snow creates exceptionally pleasant conditions. Also, Apex features great après-ski hotspots, perfect for unwinding after a rewarding day on the slopes.

MOUNT WASHINGTON ALPINE RESORT For a unique resort experience, consider heading to Mount Washington. Situated on Vancouver Island, it is surrounded by the spectacular scenery for which the island is famed. Despite its island location, the resort receives approximately 11 meters of snowfall annually. With 81 alpine runs spread across 1,700 acres, Mount Washington provides a varied skiing experience. And the impressive 505-meter vertical drop makes this a top choice for adrenaline junkies.

ALBERTA:

Canada’s Winter Recreational Paradise Despite Alberta’s frigid winter temperatures, its abundance of recreational opportunities more than compensates for the winter chill. For those seeking a quintessential winter experience, let’s consider why Alberta is the place to be.

BANFF NATIONAL PARK | ALI KAZAL

SUNSHINE VILLAGE | TREASURE SCOTT

Alberta’s incredible ski and snowboard resorts are among the province’s primary attractions, drawing a significant influx of visitors during the winter. Nestled amid the mountains, Alberta provides an ideal setting for a memorable ski getaway. Let’s explore some of Canada’s most renowned resorts in Alberta: •

Lake Louise Ski Resort, located near the worldfamous Banff National Park and Lake Louise, is among Alberta’s must-see winter destinations.

This resort not only offers fantastic skiing options but also treats visitors to jaw-dropping views of the surrounding scenery.

•

Sunshine Village is a gem in Banff National Park with ski-in and ski-out lodging and 145 immaculate trails to explore.

•

Marmot Basin in Jasper National Park offers a relatively unique experience. With the highest base elevation of any Canadian ski resort, over 3,000 feet of vertical drop, and more than 90 runs, Marmot Basin promises an unforgettable adventure.

•

Nakiska is just a short drive from Calgary. This ski area has scenic runs offering impressive viewpoints of the surrounding Rocky Mountains.

Endless Additional Winter Recreation Options Not everyone loves skiing and snowboarding, but that doesn’t mean you will be devoid of things to do in Alberta. If you’re willing to brave the elements, the province is brimming with enjoyable winter activities.

If you’re up for trekking through the snow, Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, and Waterton Lakes National Park are home to some of the most breathtaking winter scenery in the country. Winter hikes, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing are fantastic ways to explore the Alberta wilderness. Ice fishing is another popular winter pursuit in Alberta, and the province has numerous places to go fishing and get gear.

Across the province, many lakes and rivers are coated in a thick layer of ice, catering to pond hockey and ice skating. And the opportunity to witness the Northern Lights is another distinctive aspect drawing winter visitors to Alberta. Venture away from the city lights to a place with clear skies and take in the majestic beauty of the Aurora Borealis throughout the season.

In an age of instant gratification and quick service and production, it is wonderful to see construction governed only by quality of material and expert craftsmanship. This labor of love, from concept through to completion taking more than three years to build, includes everything the owner ever wanted. From the front courtyard, one already feels the scope of what is offered. Expansive 4 car garages on both sides draw your attention to the front entry. Passing through the five foot wide wrought iron entrance door, custom made in Mexico by “Bella Grande Doors”, you enter a realm of tasteful design and quality. The gleaming Italian marble flooring, first noticed in the very large foyer and flowing throughout all the main floor, draw you into the 2-storey central great room. The captivating fireplace, constructed from solid white onyx imported from Greece, captures your attention with its carved mantles and curves soaring to where you notice the interlocking beauty of the coffered ceiling. Complimenting the fireplace on the other side is the dining area where there are custom dual counterbalanced chandeliers lighting intimate separate dining tables. Around the corner is the kitchen.

Such a kitchen, with multitude cabinets and custom design features, high end appliances highlighted by an eight burner gas stove, a large eating nook set into an alcove of eight foot high Palladian windows. The threesided gas fireplace also serves the huge lounge area with windows on all three sides completely showcasing the glorious 220 degree view of valleys with the Rocky Mountains beyond. Just outside, tucked into a corner of the one hundred foot wide, patterned concrete deck is a wood burning

fireplace. At the other end of the main floor is the primary suite with ivory Travertine floors and the sleeping area set into a full wall Travertine feature. Centered across from the foot of the bed is the opening of the private relaxing library/lounge with its full wall custom cabinets and fireplace. Behind the bedroom feature wall is the 21 foot wide en suite complete with 16 foot wide double vanity/make up counter, oval jetted tub on a dais set into a pillared alcove backed by large bay windows, a large steam shower, and his and hers walk-in closets. Above the large foyer is a home office overlooking the main floor and the view beyond.

Descending into the lower level, you are greeted by the large wet bar with its own interior sitting area and fireplace. Included in the lower level is a separate wine cellar with wrought iron door, large games and lounge area with ceramic tile patterned floor, 3 more bedrooms, 2 with their own full baths, a second laundry, a large “children’s library, an exercise spa, a separate sauna and steam shower spa, a large craft room, and the glorious swimming pool. Set into an 83 by 38 foot high ceiling space is the 40 by 24 foot pool with hot tub and separate play area for children at the lounge end. All three floors can be accessed by an interior elevator.

Energy bills have also been well considered with the entire home built with twelve inch ICF walls and the geothermal heat as a source for the in-floor heat throughout. The home overlooks the balance of this 14 acre parcel with white composite 4 rail fencing and cross fencing, the perfect setting for watching your horses while enjoying the view. All this is on the western edge of Calgary, just a mere 5 kilometers from Stoney Trail.

780.881.1649 kathymbowers@gmail.com 3percentrealtyfm.ca

EXPERIENCED REALTOR, EXCEPTIONAL HOME SERVICES Throughout my 42 years in Fort McMurray, I’ve truly embraced this city as my home. My family made the move from Ontario to Alberta in 1981, searching for opportunities that would create a comfortable lifestyle for our family. Moving at the age of 17 years old was very difficult, however I found myself keeping busy with sports while juggling three jobs.

Seizing an opportunity, I joined Syncrude right out of high school, a dream come true for any Fort McMurray youth. However, as my first child arrived, the struggle of balancing work and family weighed heavily on me.

Thus, I made the decision to leave my job to start my own cleaning company and discovered a passion for entrepreneurship. After a decade, I sold the company and delved into social work and marketing for a local restaurant.

Later I stepped into the world of property management and found myself not only assisting with company housing but also managing apartment buildings. Eventually, I obtained my broker’s license and opened my own brokerage. I am proud to have expanded my knowledge to property management and building maintenance. Surrounding myself with a competent team has been key to my growth, despite some missteps throughout my career.

After the recent sale of the BOWERS Group, I am shifting my focus to my real estate career while honouring my commitment to clients in residential, commercial real estate but more importantly to myself and family.

This journey has allowed me to watch my children grow in this community and now relish the role of a joyful grandmother to two beautiful, energetic boys. Their presence brings light to even the toughest days. Our office, once known as “The Bowers Group,” is now home to ‘The Hearn Group’ and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome the change.

I look forward to sharing my wealth of experience and expertise when assisting and guiding others with their buying or selling needs.
