When it comes to redesigning your kitchen, one of the most crucial factors to bear in mind is floor plan. Functionality lies at the core of every kitchen design, so you'll need to carefully consider which floor plan best suits your lifestyle--namely, open concept or closed concept. Here we outline some pros and cons of each style to help you plan the space that's perfect for your family. 

When it comes to cabinets, the options seem limitless. Lakeville Kitchen and Bath breaks down the basics to help you decide which cabinet door style and material is right for your kitchen remodeling project!

While cabinets rarely change in a construction sense, styles and colors are constantly changing. In the past, the traditional raised panel in a light or dark stain reigned supreme.

All of the styles shown here are available and on display at the Lakeville Kitchen and Bath showrooms.
