From L-Shaped Island to Open and Inviting: A Gresham Kitchen Remodel

Creating More Space with Natural Maple Cabinets and Smart Storage A large kitchen gives homeowners plenty of room to work with, but square footage alone does not guarantee that the space will function well.

For this recent kitchen remodel in Gresham, Oregon, Kitchen Concepts NW transformed the space with custom natural maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, improved storage, and a redesigned island that opened up the heart of the kitchen.

Good Kitchen Design Starts with Listening

We Don't Start With Cabinets When people first walk into our showroom, they often expect the conversation to begin with cabinet styles, counter top samples, or the latest design trends. Sometimes it does. But more often than not, that's not where we start. Instead, we ask questions. What do you enjoy about your current kitchen? What frustrates you? If you could change just one thing, what would it be? Because before we start talking about products, we want to understand the people who will be using the space every day. After all, a beautiful kitchen isn't just built with [...]

Kitchen Storage Ideas for Better Function

5 Kitchen Storage Features That Make Everyday Life Easier One of the biggest frustrations homeowners have with their kitchen usually isn’t style. It’s storage. Not enough usable space.

A kitchen can look beautiful and still feel frustrating to use. That’s why thoughtful storage design is one of the most important parts of a successful kitchen remodel. At Kitchen Concepts, we spend a lot of time helping homeowners think beyond just finishes and colors. A [...]
