Luxury Kitchen Styles

If you are lucky, you may have $20,000 for a kitchen remodel or like most of us, need to take out that home equity loan for kitchen and bath upgrades. What if you had a $100,000 budget? If you could take a peek into the kitchens of the new loft condos begin built on Park Avenue in New York City, or in the Marina District of San Francisco with views overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, what would you find? Yes, you would probably still find tile on the floor (like the masses) but it would most likely be porcelain and not ceramic. You and I can load our station wagon up with tiles from Home Depot at $3 per square foot, but even stores for the masses like Lowes and Color Tile have tile that run over $20 per square foot in their showroom so as you can imagine there are many varieties of tile at over $50 per square foot to please the hedge fund managers. (Other floors you may find in these posh settings: cork, marble, travertine tile and seamless hardwood.) Under the tile you may find an electric heating system because no one wants to creep down out of bed at 2 a.m. for cookies and milk, and have their feet get cold. The electric line snaking under each tile will perpetually remove the chill. Looking at the countertop you can bet you will find granite 80% of the time, but for completely custom jobs with unlimited budgets you will find a lot of custom concrete. And yes, the Wall Street tycoons can find granite about as exotic and expensive as you could want to pay for it. (Five thousand dollars for a countertop would embarrass many of these people.) Adding an inch or two to the thickness of the granite and sourcing the granite from some of the most remote countries on earth should add $10,000 to the cost, just enough to not be embarrassed at holiday parties. The range would be a 17,000 BTU stainless steel, six burner with dual ovens below, costing $10,000 to $15,000. Of course, there would be a wall mounted chimney hood for venting, above the cook top with six speed settings, dual halogen lights, and rated at 650 CFM. You could see the food cooking, you just won't be able to smell the food cooking! The refrigerator will probably be a Sub Zero built right into the kitchen cabinets, because Maytag or Amana just won't do. This $10,000 beauty will be able to hold enough food to feed a small Icelandic village. The kitchen cabinets would still be wood, like we have in most houses, but the wood would be imported and exotic. Solid under the countertop and glass door above, so the fine dishes and the sushi sets can be seen without opening the door. The "hardware," meaning the handles on the cabinets and drawers, would be more than $10 each or it just would not be a posh kitchen. Actually, this "hardware" is getting more and more expensive for the rest of us too, as it's almost impossible to replace your hardware today for under $4 per handle. Let's hope we can live with what came stock. On the kitchen island you would have another sink and perhaps another cook top. Over the island you would have recessed lighting and a pot holder. The dishwasher, would be a 3 rack stainless steel, because the common people have two racks. Enhanced insulation would make this thing quieter than a small fan humming, not the beast that sloshes water around in our kitchen, forcing us to crank the volume on our televison sets. Of course, on this dishwasher, no need to pre-wash! Average price tag for all of this installed, about $90,000, however if you have to ask you can't afford it.

Choosing Interior Design Colour Combinations

Many people are not fully conscious of how important colour is in their lives and both in interior design and buying clothes .
I will describe each colour and its qualities, followed by its complementary colour and its qualities.

Each colour also has a complementary colour, which on a colour wheel will be the colour that sits opposite to it.
Yellow is a colour which stimulates mental activity and is therefore the last colour you should choose for a bedroom. It also is good for studying or reading, whilst promoting self confidence at the same time. So actually yellow is the perfect colour for the room where your children do their homework or for a home office. With yellow your child is unlikely to have a good night’s sleep and over time this is not much fun or good for his health! Yellow is the colour for the solar plexus chakra which relates to our feelings of self worth, so how we feel about ourselves and how we think others feel and think about us. This chakra is about the personality, the intellect and the ego. Yellow’s complementary colour is violet. Violet is calming for the mind and body, and is a colour that heightens awareness and makes us feel like doing our best. It is a purifying colour and can strengthen feeling of dignity and purpose. Violet is ideal for entrance areas, especially into clinics, and places of worship or meditation.

Orange is a warm and energizing colour, and is great for sociable areas and creative/active areas. It is best avoided in the bedroom as it encourages liveliness. It is the colour of fun and sociability. When balanced it is creative, sociable and joyful. The complementary colour for orange is indigo. Indigo is a quieter colour and therefore perfectly suited to bedrooms, and areas that should ideally be calm. It also helps us feel intuitive. which is also known as the third eye. (Not literally a third eye, this is a term for the intuitive channel between the two “real” eyes). It means having an organised mind, integrity, being loyal and seeing things clearly. Red is a great colour for any activity area, but you need to be choosy about the shade so the room does not feel smaller or oppressive. If it is used well it will make a room feel cosy. Used positively it should make a person feel courageous and with strength of will. It promotes assertiveness in the right measure. Red’s complementary colour is blue. Blue is a calming colour and makes people feel relaxed. It can be used in any room except for one where you wish to stimulate physical activity. It is also the colour of communication. So for example it is perfect for a lounge or sitting room area. The chakra for blue is the throat chakra and this relates to self-expression. So it’s all about communication, the ability to speak and communicate our needs and wishes. If balanced it helps us to be trustworthy, calm and loyal. Magenta which is a mixture of red and violet. This is a combination of the physical and the spiritual put simply. It is not suitable for play areas, but is good in lecture and study areas. Green is very harmonising and encourages tolerance and understanding. It would of course be ideal for negotiations between politicians... Green is a colour that you could use in any room really, and the tip here is to be aware of the shade. So you wouldn’t choose one with too much yellow in it for a bedroom. It is important to balance out green with another colour, or colours as too much green may lead to inactivity. The heart chakra is the one that relates to green. This is the energy of being able to give and receive love, including self love. When in balance it will make you feel compassionate, loving, generous and well-balanced. Different people will at different times of their lives be attracted to certain colours, and this can change as your life circumstances change. To add some flexibility into a colour scheme there are a wonderful range of colourful glass door knobs by Bombay Duck. These can also be used to spruce up wardrobes and furniture.
