It’s on the calendar and you’re counting down to the day your renovation will start. How do you prepare? What do you have to do? How will you survive the weeks of disruption in your home? Fear not! While you may not have done this before, we’ve been doing it for years, and we have plenty of tips to help you keep your sanity during your [kitchen renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-kitchen-gallery/). ![main image 2026](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjUwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTgiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMjUwIDE0NTgiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Main Image 2026 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Tips for Surviving Kitchen Renos: Make a Food Plan! Everything you are used to relying on to prepare your meals on a daily basis is about to disappear (or change), and take-out gets old (and expensive) very quickly. So what’s a family to do? Think ahead, be smart and adapt as you need to! ## Create A Kitchen Space For Yourself It’s not going to have everything you’re used to, but carving out a space for food prep during a renovation is a game-changer. Whether you take over a section of the basement, or your dining room, there is room in any home to set up a small prep space and some necessities. There are tons of small appliances that can help make healthy, home-cooked meals for when you don’t have access to your stove—think toaster ovens, Instant Pots, griddles and microwaves. If you don’t have these items, don’t go out and buy them before asking around. We all have friends with extra small appliances they don’t use often, so ask to borrow! While your fridge can likely be moved to another area of the house, your stove is trickier, since you require a different electrical outlet for stoves and if you’re changing your layout you might not have one at all for a while. That said, there are times during the renovation that the stove can stay plugged in, but make sure you have plenty of meals you won’t need a stove for. Take a good hard look at what tools/dishes you’re going to need and keep them tidy in some bins. Pack everything else up and tuck it somewhere. Be realistic! You’re not going to be baking a torte or roasting a turkey. Clutter equals stress so get anything you don’t *absolutely need* out of the way. ![kitchen renovation in winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Kitchen Renovation In Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Prepare Meals In Advance Once you have an idea of what tools you’ll have to work with, do a bunch of meal prep while you still have your kitchen. If you don’t have a good selection of prepare-ahead meals in your repertoire, hit the internet for inspiration! [Pinterest](http://www.pinterest.com/) and Food Network have tons of ideas for “Freezer Meals” including chili, casseroles and pre-mixed recipes you can drop into a crock-pot for easy dinners. Chop up fruit and freeze it in different combinations for ready-to-blend smoothie packs, or mix up a few long-lasting salads for the fridge. Coleslaw, marinated veggie salads, and mixed bean salads will last a while in the fridge and are a great quick side to grab when you need it. If you like home-baked goodies, bake a few batches of cookies or squares you can keep in the freezer, or if you have a toaster oven, whip up a few batches of a freezable cookie dough that you can bake off in small batches when you need a fresh treat. Did you know you can bake cookies in an air fryer? If you regularly enjoy pancakes, it’s easy to measure and mix up the dry ingredients ahead of time so you can quickly add the wet ingredients and you’re ready to go. ## Adjust Your Grocery Shopping If you’re a made-from-scratch kind of cook, this one might be tough for you, but there is no shame in buying things like pre-cut fruits and veggies, pre-made pizza dough or pre-marinated meats. The grocery stores are full of delicious and healthy options to build great meals out of. Get that rotisserie chicken! There are few items more versatile, so try adding it to nachos, quesadillas, chicken salads, pastas and more. Yes, buying pre-made foods is more expensive, but the time and frustration you’ll save are hard to deny. ![kitchen reno guide winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Kitchen Reno Guide Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Make Use Of Outdoor Cooking If you’re lucky enough to be doing your renovation in the summer, this one might be a no-brainer, but there’s no reason you can’t put your BBQ to work even through the winter months. Shovel it out and get grilling! Smokers are great for low-and-slow cooking (make extra so you can have a few meals with leftovers) and your barbecue can be used for more than just burgers. If you’ve never made pizza on the grill, you’re missing out! ## Plan For Clean-Up There’s nothing wrong with paper plates, but you’re still going to need to wash some dishes, and you might be without a kitchen sink for some time. Make do with what you have! Laundry sinks, plastic bins, and even bathtubs or garden hoses can do in a pinch. Get into that “camping in our own home” mindset and roll with it. It’s temporary! ## Tips for Surviving Kitchen Renovations: Make a Self Care Plan! Renovations are messy and if they’ve taken over your space, and any peaceful retreat your home usually offers is gone. With some major [kitchen renovations](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/kitchen-renovations/) taking weeks or months, taking some time to mentally prepare for the chaos goes a long way when it comes to saving your sanity. This too shall pass, and soon you’ll be on the other side of it with a beautiful new space, but a few preparations will make it that much easier. ## Declutter Now This is the time to get your clutter under control. Obviously, focusing on the kitchen or other rooms that will be renovated is the first step, but if you have the time, extend that scrutiny to other areas of your house too. The more room you have to breathe, the happier you’ll be. There’s nothing more frustrating than tripping over and moving around items you don’t even really need or like. Donate it, sell it or give it away. ![tips for living without a kitchen during a renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Tips For Living Without A Kitchen During A Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Designate A Storage Area When you empty out a room (or multiple rooms) in order to renovate, all that stuff needs to go somewhere (and you’d swear it multiplies as soon as you start packing). Hopefully, you’ve pared it down as much as you can, but you’ll need to find a space to store anything you won’t need during the process. If you have a spare bedroom, basement space or an empty garage, those will do. If not, consider renting a storage unit. Many companies offer services that drop a container off on your driveway to use for storage and will come to pick it up again when you’re done. This is a great option to temporarily extend the space available. Just make sure you check with us first about where the best place to put it so it’s not blocking any necessary access. ## Consider Child And Pet Care If you have pets or small children, make a plan for them! There are few things more disruptive to schedules and daily life than a major renovation. Living in a work zone is noisy, dusty and comes with risks. While we do our best to ensure work-sites are as safe as possible, it’s usually smart to keep kids and pets as far away as possible. If you have the space, make a safe area for them to spend the day, and if not, consider finding child care outside the home. Well-rested happy kids and calm pets will go a long way to making sure you don’t lose your patience with the process. ![tips for surviving a kitchen reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Tips For Surviving A Kitchen Reno - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Make Yourself A Retreat It’s exhausting to be in your [home during a renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/aging-in-place-and-home-renovation/). Nothing is clean, your things aren’t where they belong and there are extra people coming and going constantly so carving out a renovation-free zone for every member of the family is a great idea. Whether that’s bedrooms or a family room, choose places and don’t let the mess in. Store boxes elsewhere, keep the doors closed to minimize noise and mess, and create your own sanctuary. ## Cut Your Family Some Slack As frustrated and tired and frazzled you may be, the other members of your household are right there in it with you, and it’s inevitable that you’re going to clash, probably more than once. Take a deep breath and remember the mess is temporary, and you’ll all still be living there when it’s done. Plan in some quality family relaxing time (maybe somewhere else), and do your best to ignore the little things. ## Rely On Us for Kitchen Renovation!

Every year at about this time, we take a minute to reflect on the previous year, plan for the one to come. We think about what trends we saw fade out, and which ones we’re seeing on the upswing for the new year. While there are classic kitchen features that never seem to fade (white shaker cabinets, anyone?) there are always a few that seem to slip in and out of fashion as the year marches on. Because Gateway Kitchen + Bath is a custom cabinet and renovation shop—where there are no limits to the styles or finishes you can pull together—we get a front-row seat to all the fresh new ideas and preferences. So what are we seeing coming up for 2026? ![modern white kitchen with warm wood floors and minimalist mid-century-modern vibes](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "winnipeg kitchen renovation trends - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Natural textures** You can’t beat nature for creating beauty. Whether you’re looking at stone, tile or wood products for your home renovation, we’re seeing an emphasis on wood grain, dynamic veining in stone and tile that feels unique and handmade. Perfection has given way to character and visual movement in the materials homeowners are choosing for their new spaces. While other rooms, like bedrooms and living rooms, have the option of fabrics and rugs to help warm the space and provide layers and pattern, kitchens and bathrooms need to be easy to clean and sanitize. Most surfaces need to be wipeable, so if you’re too safe with your material choices, you run the risk of creating a space that feels too sterile. Finding warmth and movement in your wood and stone can bring in that warmth and layering that’s so important in a cohesive design. ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Custom touches** As the trend of renovating for resale fades, we’re seeing a lot more thought being put into how you, as a homeowner, will actually use your home. We’re noticing more customers ditching “what we’ve always done” and thinking creatively about how to make their own spaces work for them. Whether it’s bolder design choices like colours or patterns, or functional changes (docking stations, hot chocolate stations, custom shower benches, shaving niches, integrated toilet paper dispensers, extra appliances or hidden features to name a few), homeowners are building for themselves and we couldn’t be happier. Not only does this trend delight us and stretch our creativity, it also results in unique homes that you’re going to feel good in. Have an idea? Talk to our [Design Team](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) and let’s explore it! ![butlers pantry with extra appliances and storage](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "custom cabinet trends for kitchens 2026 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Colour** White kitchens aren’t going anywhere yet, but we’re seeing a lot more bold use of colour than we have in previous years. Deep, luxe, saturated colours are coming back, mixed either with fresh white, natural wood tones or both. As the colour of woods warm back up from the bleached out or grey tones of the last few decades, green is a natural complement. If you love the combination but have commitment issues, painting walls in those deep accent colours is a budget-friendly alternative to investing in more permanent and costly-to-change uses of the trend (cabinets, tiles, etc). Colour drenching is still popular, especially in small spaces like powder rooms or pantries, and the use of bold wallpaper adds something unique and unexpected. ![deep green custom cabinets in classic home](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODA0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgwNCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen renovation trends design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Layered patterns and intentional mismatch** There was a time when everyone wanted to be the same. The stores sold identical art prints, and everything we did in our homes kind of felt a bit cookie-cutter. In order to “be on trend” we simply copied what we saw and bought what was offered, but in trade we hid our personality and our own collections and built spaces devoid of individuality. With more of a focus on creating a curated, collected and timeless space, more homeowners are bringing out their unique and treasured items, and choosing materials that don’t “match” to layer together into a fresh and personalized look. This trend is also great because as some of those smaller décor trends (think furniture, fabrics, lamps and decorative items) come in and out of fashion, it’s possible to accessorize thoughtfully on a small scale without feeling the need to renovate again. ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Hiding the mechanics** For a time all the gadgets were in—touch screens, calendars, control panels, small appliances—now while we’re not seeing fewer of these items in use, they are no longer given prominence in the space. Televisions that can display your household calendar are being switched out for ones that look like a piece of art while not in use, command centres are being tucked out of sight and small appliances find homes inside cabinets or walk-in-pantries. Homeowners are loving added functionality but blending it with the peacefulness of an uncluttered countertop and hiding the screens and gadgets that scream for your attention. It makes sense to create a sanctuary within our homes to escape that constant barrage of visual stimulation we spend much of our time surrounded by, but the space also needs to function well, so let’s find that balance together. ![open concept kitchen design with large island](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen trending designs 2026 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Matching backsplashes** With the increased availability of thinner stone and porcelain slabs, we’re seeing a lot more matching backsplashes in new kitchens. When done well, the grain of the stone can continue from the horizontal surface to the vertical one seamlessly for maximum visual impact. Whether you’re looking at subtle minimalistic texture or bold veining, this look is fresh and beautiful. ![custom matched porcelain stone backsplace](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen renovation winnipeg trends 2026 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Clever use of extra space** Whether your home is large or small, there are often odd corners that were maybe intended for a specific use, but don’t really fit into your overall needs or aesthetic. We’re seeing an increased desire to give purpose to some of that unused space in your homes. Maybe it’s adding a built-in storage to an unused china cabinet niche, a beautiful banquette to a sprawling bay window or creating a reading nook I one of those weirdly-shaped corners of your home (what were the home builders thinking with those?). Whatever use makes sense for you, there is a solution to help make the room feel custom and intentional. ## **Kitchen Trend for 2026: Accessibility** More people are intentionally renovating with the intention of staying put as they age, and it makes sense. If you’re planning to stay in your home as long as possible and you’re renovating, now is the time to think forward (even if it’s a still a few years away) and make the subtle changes that can enhance your quality of life for years to come. Outfitting lower cabinets (especially corner cabinets) with pull-outs to minimize bending and crouching to access your belongings, widening aisles to give ample space for mobility aids, and choosing hardware carefully can all make living in your space easier as you age. Other home renovation projects like creating main-floor bedroom spaces and accessible bathrooms are also experiencing a surge in popularity. ![renovation trends 2026](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation trends 2026 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Renovation trends are always a tricky balance… it’s as easy to fall out of love as it is to fall in love with a certain look, and when you’re paying tens of thousands of dollars to create your dream aesthetic, you want to make sure you’re in it for the long haul. Are you truly in love? Or is this a design crush on the latest flavour? We want you to love the space you’re in for as long as our products last (which is, admittedly, a pretty long time), so being honest with yourself, being willing to balance the fads with some classics, and layering in more of your unique style and lifestyle can give your design the enduring longevity you need and the bright newness you want. *At Gateway Kitchen + Bath we’ve been designing and building custom spaces for our customers for over 40 years. Our goal is to listen to your needs and desires, creatively design with an emphasis on beauty and functionality, quote accurately, execute competently, and then celebrate with you as you experience your newly-renovated home.

Choosing the best type of cabinetry for you](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/level-up-choosing-the-best-type-of-custom-cabinets-for-you/) **Published:** October 1, 2021 **Author:** Jessica Gollub **Content:** # LEVEL UP! Choosing the best type of cabinetry for you ![different cabinetry types](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/header-e1633125352973.jpg "header - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Choosing custom cabinets for a [kitchen renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/kitchen-renovations/) is an exciting thing to do. Dreaming of the possibilities and imagining your new space is fun, but it can quickly become overwhelming when you start trying to nail down the specifics. Maybe you know what style of kitchen you want ([If not, click here for a quick run-down of style options](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/picking-your-profile-finding-the-cabinet-style-that-fits-you)), and you have a pretty good idea what your budget should be, but how do you make both of those things work together to build your new space? Understanding all the options available is helpful, and finding someone you trust to give you all the information is invaluable. Whether you decide to use Gateway Kitchen + Bath or not, we always hope to be able to give you what you need to make an informed decision. ![stock cabinetry](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE2MDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMjAwIDE2MDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "S02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") There are three different levels of cabinet construction that you should be aware of as you start this process. Each has its own benefits and limitations, and learning about each of them will help you figure out how to find the best balance between budget and style. #### **Stock Cabinets** We’ve all gotten the beautiful glossy catalogues in the mail with sleek new kitchen cabinets for low prices. Big box stores carry many options for stock cabinetry that can suit a variety of applications. These cabinets are built in standard sizes and made to fit together in unlimited combinations to get the kitchen you want. Because they’re mass-produced in large quantities, the cost is definitely the lowest of the options available, and with a bit of planning and some elbow grease, almost anyone could put together a usable kitchen space. If you’re clever and are looking for a fairly standard kitchen, this can be a good option, but stock cabinets do have their downsides. Cabinets that are constructed to be flat-packed and assembled on site are often built to be light and easy to manage, meaning thinner, cheaper woods, and flimsier materials. They are made to be put together using fasteners or dowels, and are often not glued together at all, meaning that over time, joints and corners can loosen and cause problems. The standard sizes of stock cabinets can also cause headaches. Houses come in all shapes and sizes, and your options of maximizing the design of your kitchen go down when you limit your materials. While there are filler pieces to hide those spots where you were left with 8 inches between the cabinet and the wall, being able to use that space for spices or cookie sheet storage would have been a handy option that stock cabinets just wouldn’t be able to help with. While you might think it would be as simple to put together as your child’s plastic building blocks, the truth is that most spaces aren’t perfectly square, or built to standard sizes, so no matter what, there will always be some “fudging” when it comes to stock cabinets. That said, there are definitely times when stock cabinets are a good choice. If you want to update, but home values in your area won’t support a more extensive renovation, your budget is limited, or maybe if you’re thinking of selling soon and don’t want to invest too much to get a good bang for your buck, stock cabinets may be exactly what you want. To avoid frustration, be realistic about what they can and can’t provide for you, and spend lots of time measuring to see what layout and combination works best in your space. ## **Semi-Custom Cabinetry** Most people understand that there are prefabricated cabinets and there are custom cabinets, but many aren’t aware that there is also something in the middle. Semi-custom cabinets fill that gap. While these types of cabinets are constructed in a factory setting, they are still made to order and have a wider variety of options available. From sizes to finishes, semi-custom cabinets can be customized but are still less expensive than custom cabinets. ![semi-custom cabinetry](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxODAwIDEyMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "SC02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Because the cabinet boxes are fully constructed and delivered in their finished size, they are far more sturdy than stock cabinets, and built to last. As an added bonus, they require no endless pages of assembly instructions. At Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we partner with [Superior Cabinets](https://superiorcabinets.ca/) for semi-custom cabinets and our designers are skilled at taking their products and helping you fit them into your space in a way that functions perfectly and suits your lifestyle and personality. ![sc03](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE3NjAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMjAwIDE3NjAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "SC03 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Custom Cabinets** And finally, we get to the top. The Cadillac of cabinetry, custom cabinets are limited only by your imagination, your budget and gravity. Unlimited materials, sizes and finishes are available and with a good designer, every inch can be customized and maximized for space, use and style. Every piece is designed for beauty, built for quality, scrutinized for perfection, and constructed to last. ![c02](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODQ2IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxODQ2IDEyMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "C02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") If being unique is important to you, there is nothing better than custom cabinetry. If you think about it like art… there are plenty of beautiful prints to frame from our favourite box stores, but those places sell thousands of identical pieces, making it almost certain someone else you know has the same print on their wall. Commissioning your own artwork is more expensive of course, but it also has more value. Custom cabinetry is crafted on order, built to exact specifications and tailored to you. Your home is an extension of your style and personality, and you use your home in your own way, so it stands to reason that it should be as unique as you are. When you work with talented artists and craftspeople, you can create functional art in your home that is as impressive as it is useful. The biggest (perhaps only) downside of custom cabinets is the cost. Coming in with a higher price tag than the other two options, the cost of custom cabinetry should be weighed against how much you use your space, how long you’re planning on spending there, and what home values are in your neighbourhood. That said, doing a full custom remodel isn’t typically something you’d want to do for the next owners of your home. This is a kitchen you build for yourself—the kitchen you always dreamed of. ![c03](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxODAwIDEyMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "C03 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") For more information, or to get started on the kitchen renovation of your dreams, [schedule an appointment with one of our designers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/schedule-appointment)!

Home and Renovation shows (if there are any in your area) are often a great place to start. With so many trades, contractors and products all in one place showing off their wares, it’s a condensed, efficient way to see what is out there. However, if you’re unprepared, a home and renovation show can quickly become overwhelming, so we figured we’d give you some tips on the things we’ve learned from the other side of the booth. ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTU3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU1NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "custom Kitchen Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Prepare for your Physical Needs This one is key. You just won’t be able to concentrate if your needs aren’t taken care of first. Wear comfortable shoes—you’ll be racking up the steps—and bring some snacks and water with you. If you live in a place where it’s often well below freezing during your renovation shows (like here in Winnipeg) plan for what you’re going to do with your coat. Our [RBC Convention Centre](https://www.wcc.mb.ca/) has heated indoor parking so leaving a jacket in the car is a snap, but if you end up parking outside, a backpack to stuff your coat into while keeping your hands free is a smart idea. Depending on how much you’d like to accomplish while you’re there, it could be a pretty long day, so make sure you have everything you’ll need so you don’t have to leave in the middle in search of sustenance. Most renovation shows have some food available on premises, but will it be food you’ll want to eat? Maybe. Maybe not. ![gateway kitchen + bath](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "gateway kitchen + bath - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Have a Plan What are you hoping to accomplish while you’re at the show? If you’re thinking of embarking on a major [kitchen renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/kitchen-renovations/) (our favourite), take a look at the show website and see which companies will be there and get a good idea of where you’d like to spend the bulk of your time. Some booths (like ours) offer full-service renovations, and if that’s the route you’d like to take, scope out booths that have it on offer. If you’d rather coordinate all the pieces of your renovation yourself, this is also a great opportunity to connect with a lot of different material vendors and see what’s available and get a good idea of what fits into your budget. Plan your attack and hit the booths you want to see most first. Be strategic as you plan. Booths have busy times and not-so busy ones, so if you want to be sure you’ll get a good period of focused service, aim for a time of day where the show isn’t as crowded. This could be the afternoon of a workday, right after opening on the weekends, or even during standard mealtimes when many of the show visitors may be off finding food (See? Those snacks came in handy). ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Get Involved Seeing product pictures online is great, but actually being able to see (and touch) materials is a much better way to understand what you want. Some folks are a bit shy, but as a vendor, this is precisely why we’re here. We want you to touch our displays, we want you to experience the quality of our work and imagine what it would be like to have in your home. If you’re looking at window displays, open them up, feel how they move. Open kitchen cupboard doors and test the pullout features. Just remember that it’s not going to be EXACTLY like a finished kitchen inside your home. We did have to transport this display in trucks and elevators and quickly assemble it inside a massive convention centre (and will have to disassemble it just as quickly), but it will give you a pretty good idea. ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDY2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDQ2NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Bring Plans + Pictures If you’re planning a new [bathroom remodel](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-bathrooms/), bring pictures of what you have now, and also pictures of bathrooms you like (on your phone is great). If you talk to any of the talented folk manning the Gateway booth, that’s exactly what they want to see. It’s a lot easier to offer recommendations if we can see the space you’re talking about. #### Watch for Show Deals Many vendors, especially ones selling individual materials, offer special deals for sales made at the show. It’s a win for everyone involved. You get a bit of a deal and they get a concentrated audience looking for their products. If you’re considering making a deal, make sure you know what their regular prices are and don’t get sucked in to something you weren’t planning on buying just because it was a good price. When it comes to renovations, you’re generally better off choosing what you love rather than what’s on sale, but if you can manage to do both? Grab it! . ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Kitchen Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Collect Brochures + Business Cards Even if you think you have the best memory around, with so much information coming at you so quickly, you are bound to forget something. The last thing you want to do is forget which vendor had the tiles you liked, or the super helpful salesperson you want to connect with after the show. Bring a marker to put big circles or stars on the brochures of vendors you really want to remember. #### Maybe Don’t Enter ALL the Contests You know it, we know it. The contests are great ways for vendors to connect with people interested in their products, and vendors WILL contact you if you leave your phone number and email address in a fishbowl for them. If you’re not into that, maybe the free sweatshirt isn’t worth the hassle. It’s helpful to avoid vendors you’re definitely not interested in. We don’t mind. We promise. ![gateway kitchen + bath](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTM4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUzOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "gateway kitchen + bath - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Don’t Forget to Say Hello!

We love working with Superior! With an incredible selection, we feature their beautiful semi-custom cabinetry in many of our designs. ([Click here to learn about the difference between custom and semi-custom cabinets](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/level-up-choosing-the-best-type-of-custom-cabinets-for-you/)). Their trends experts have compiled a comprehensive post about all the new and exciting design elements they’re seeing and we couldn’t resist kicking off this post with it! I think one of our favourite trends that they’ve picked up on is wood hood fans. Bringing the warmth and beauty of a custom wood piece to something as utilitarian as a hood fan is just the thing we like to see. Also featured in their post are: vertical stone applications, trending colours and THREE-toned kitchens! **[Check out their post!](https://superiorcabinets.ca/trends/2022-kitchen-trends/)** ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Quartz Countertops by Solid Stone Countertops - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") **[Solid Stone Countertops](https://solidstone.ca/)** provides custom-fabricated stone countertops to Winnipeg and the surrounding area. From the unique beauty of natural stones like granite, marble and quartzite, to the flawless consistency of manufactured quartz and porcelain, Solid Stone makes stone surfaces that shine. At Gateway we’re big fans of stone countertops, so when we saw that they had a post about the trends they’re seeing, we had to share. Their [**6 Rock Solid Kitchen Trends**](https://solidstone.ca/6-rock-solid-kitchen-trends/) post covers some of those design details that are poised to stick around for many years to come. ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE5MjAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyNTYwIDE5MjAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Kitchen Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") We’ve seen the hardware world fall in love in with matte, and if there’s any trend to follow for all the bling, it’s this one. Matte fixtures and hardware are all the rage and our friends at Delta have a post highlighting the use of matte black in your [home renovations](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/aging-in-place-and-home-renovation/). They have a few stunning examples and give you some tips about how to best use this trend for a little extra drama in your space. Check out their post: [Matte Black is the New Black](https://www.deltafaucet.ca/design-innovation/inspiredliving/matte-black-is-the-new-black) ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTEwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU4OCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDExMTAgNTg4Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Kitchen Renovation trends - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") The fixation on building bigger (especially when it comes to the kitchen) had been on our radar for a while, and it seems like everyone wants a bigger, more functional space for their kitchens. While the temptation to tear down walls is great, it’s just not practical for everyone and every home. So what is there to do for those of us who have space limitations but still want the feeling of space? Our friends at [Moen](https://www.moen.ca/) have answers in their post: [6 Tricks to Make your Small Kitchen Feel Big.](https://www.moen.ca/inspiration/kitchen/6-tricks-to-make-your-small-kitchen-feel-big "6 Tricks to Make your Small Kitchen Feel Big") From minimizing what is sitting on the floor and in traffic areas, to making use of vertical space and open shelving, their suggestions will add some breathing room to even the smallest of spaces. ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NjAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTQwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTYwIDU0MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation trends - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Trends come and go, it’s a fact of the design world. Being able to find the ones that don’t look dated decades after the fact is a real trick to master (and something we strive to accomplish in every renovation). Our friends at Blanco pulled together this great post [(Design through the Decades)](https://www.blanco.com/ca-en/get-inspired/design-through-the-decades/) that brought back memories of some of the most popular trends from the last three decades that are still just as drool-worthy today.

While we all want our kitchens to be spotless and organized like those Instagram pictures, the reality is that kitchens have a lot of stuff, especially when you’ve got a house full of people and everyone needs something a little different. If our kitchen cabinets had no doors most of us would be regularly overwhelmed by the number of individual (and let’s be real, often weirdly shaped or unstackable) items a functioning kitchen requires. That’s why we have all those cabinets! But what if your cabinets don’t function well for either the space, or your lifestyle? Turning a kitchen that doesn’t work well into a well-flowing, organized space full of the right storage for you is just as important as making it look like the kitchen of your dreams. In this post, we are going to look at some of the best storage solutions available to help you get organized and stay that way. If you are thinking of starting a [kitchen renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/kitchen-renovations/), this is a great place to start and get you thinking about what features would make your lifestyle just a little bit easier. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "garbage pullouts - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Garbage and Recycling Pullouts: No one wants to look at a garbage can all day, but simply tucking one away under the sink doesn’t work well either. It’s too easy for smelly things to fall behind the can and make a mess, or it’s just plainly too cumbersome to throw things away. Garbage pullouts are the solution to this common kitchen frustration. Sliding out for easy access to both garbage and recycling means everything stays tidy and easy to clean. Having one near your sink and/or dishwasher is the ideal spot for this gadget. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "under sink - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Cut-Out Drawer for Under the Sink: It’s wasted space in most houses. With plumbing travelling down from your sink, the space is often ignored, but there are so many little bits that are nice to have close at hand and not cluttering up the countertop space. Whether you have sponges, dish brushes, scrubby things or extra tools, it’s nice to have a place to tuck them away for when you need them, and these clever drawers make use of the space around the pipes. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzAwIDY4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "spice rack - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Spice Rack Pullouts: We’re all familiar with the old spinning spice racks that sit on the counter, but did you know that’s not the best place for your seasonings? Not only can it make your counter look cluttered, but spices lose their flavour and degrade more quickly in light. To keep your spices at their peak flavour for longer, putting them in a dark cool place is better, and a pullout is perfect. Not only are they easy to organize with all your spice jars visible, but you can tuck a pullout like this near your cooktop for quick and easy access to all the flavour. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "tool caddy - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Tool Caddy Pullouts: If you haven’t noticed the pattern yet, figuring out how to have the tools you need close at hand is ideal when you’re cooking, so when you’re planning a kitchen renovation, it’s important to keep that in mind. Say goodbye to the utensil drawers of the past that never really wanted to open. Between potato mashers and tongs, we’ve all had the experience of trying to open a jammed utensil drawer, and have the bruised fingers to show for it. These pullouts make all your bulky utensils easy to see, and they’ll all be available right where you need them. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "paper towel holder - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Built-in Paper Towel Holders: Close at hand, but off the counter, these built-in paper towel holders are easy to refill and keep the paper towels away from some of the [spills and splatter that happen on your countertops](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/counter-intelligence-spilling-the-secrets-of-custom-countertops/). The drawer can be used for spare rolls, or other consumable items. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "cutlery - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Custom Cutlery Drawers: Yes, you can buy the plastic ones from the dollar store and yes, they work fine… but what about the steak knives? The plastic kids utensils? The grapefruit spoons? Are we just supposed to mix them all together like neanderthals? No! There is a better way! Not only do custom cutlery drawers look beautiful, but you can customize them to suit what you need. Have too many categories? How about a double layer? ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzY0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDc2NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "knife block - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### In-Drawer Knife Blocks: Sharp knives are extremely important in a well-functioning kitchen, and being an expensive tool, (and at their most dangerous when dull) it’s best to take good care of them. Leaving knives loose in a drawer means they bang together and dull easily, and a knife block on the counter can add yet another piece of visual clutter, so why not consider a wooden knife block in a drawer? Built to accommodate as many knives as you need, the grooves keep knives apart and protect their edge. Also, you can’t deny they look pretty sharp. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTA0OSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDcwMCAxMDQ5Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "pantry pullout - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Pantry Pullouts: Who hasn’t lost something at the back of the pantry? With so much food going in and out of your kitchen on a weekly basis, it’s a challenge to keep track of everything all the time. Pantry pullouts make the job of finding that errant package of taco seasoning just a little bit easier. With multiple configurations and sizes, building a pantry that suits your needs is simple and effective. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2ODQiIGhlaWdodD0iOTQzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjg0IDk0MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "counter - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Hidden Countertops: There are times when you need a little extra counter space, and these pullouts are just the thing. Shown here in a hidden bar cabinet, this counter pulls out for a useful spot to mix a drink or spread out a few glasses. These hidden countertops can also be used for built-in cutting boards so you’re not always hunting for one. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjM2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzAwIDYzNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "lazy susan - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Corner Cabinet Pullouts: Kitchens with no corners are few and far between, so most of us have had the experience of trying to get something out of the back of a corner cabinet. Tough to get into, easy to lose things and next to impossible to keep tidy. Thankfully there are lots of different solutions for this space—corner drawers, Lazy Susans, or something like this pullout. One fluid movement and everything you need is tidy and easy to access. ![storage solution new kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "wine rack - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### The Solution We Haven’t Invented Yet: One of the benefits of building a [custom kitchen](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/kitchen-renovations/) is that your imagination is the limit!

Kitchen cabinets can be pricey and whether you are building a new kitchen one or renovating one, not taking the time to plan can result in expensive mistakes. The last thing you want after finishing a major kitchen renovation is to look at your space and think “I really wish I would have…”. That’s why we’re here. Having a bit of experience in your corner can help you avoid making easily overlooked errors that can cost a lot of money to fix. Here are 9 really common mistakes, so you know what to watch for: ![9 costly kitchen renovation tips to avoid](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "W008 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Forgetting about flow Everything needs to move in your kitchen, and if you don’t plan out how, you’re setting yourself up for a lot of extra work and frustration. We all want to get lots of steps in, but not at the expense of flow and productivity. Even something as simple as washing and putting away the dishes takes some consideration. Where will the dishwasher be in relation to the sink, and how far from the dishwasher is the cabinet that holds the glassware? Speaking of glassware, is that cabinet close enough to the fridge to get yourself a drink without crossing the whole space? Are there zones in your kitchen so multiple people can use the space without tripping over each other? There are a lot of things to think about when planning out a kitchen, and our designers consider them all. ![kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Skimping on smart storage It feels like [we’re always suggesting storage solutions](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/storage-solutions-kitchen-remodel/), but we have a good reason for it: We want your space to work for you. Your kitchen works hard and needs to be built for both beauty and functionality, making it a much more complex room than many of the others in your home. Finding ways to utilize all the space available, make it easy to use and easy to keep organized makes for a happy kitchen (and happy people). It’s easier and less costly to add pull-outs and extra storage features during the design process, so don’t forget to look into what options will suit your kitchen space. ![kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Not taking the design of the rest of the house into consideration We’ve all done it, scrolling through those Pinterest pictures… falling in love with that kitchen image and KNOWING that it won’t coordinate with the rest of your house… and just… not caring. Sometimes love makes you do funny things, but that’s why we’re here. There are ways of getting the space you love while still maintaining the flow and continuity in your home. It’s jarring to walk through the rooms of a home and feel like you’ve suddenly been transported somewhere else, and we always want to avoid that. Maybe some simple changes to other areas of your home would help that kitchen you love feel like a part of the whole, or maybe rethinking some kitchen finishes to tie into the architectural features of your home. Let us help you figure it out! #### Failing to plan for unexpected changes or delays It’s a fact of major kitchen renovations. There will be unexpected issues or delays that come up. Unless you built your own house, you can never be completely sure what is hiding under the walls that may need your attention. It’s never a good surprise to find out the previous owner didn’t plumb something correctly, or there’s some shoddy (and potentially dangerous) electrical work you didn’t know about. This is the time to fix it, and we will definitely help you with that, but unexpected surprises cause delays. Add that potential to supply chain issues, or human error and you’re looking down the barrel of a longer renovation. That’s why it’s always beneficial to pad your time (and budget) expectations a bit. We do everything in our control to make sure we stay on schedule, but unfortunately we can’t control everything. ![kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "W111 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Settling for less When you have the whole kitchen apart, there is no better time to make things better. The cost difference for that extra foot or two of counter space is pretty minimal in the grand scheme of things, and if it can add quality and function to your kitchen, it’s definitely worth it. If there’s something you really want but worry that it’s going to bust the budget, talk to one of our designers. They know all the tricks that just might get you what you want. The last thing you want to do while looking at your brand new kitchen is regret not changing something you could have. #### Not building in room to grow We get it. The little things add up quickly, but when you’re planning a large renovation it’s a lot cheaper and easier to add some of those little things that will come in handy later. The last thing you want to do is finish up your kitchen and realize some light in a dark corner would have been a good idea, or adding a few extra outlets would have been handy. It’s a whole lot more difficult to add those things when the renovation is done. Even if you don’t plan on doing something right away, it’s never a bad thing to plan ahead when you’ve got the walls open. Are you going to want to add some smart home features in the near future? Are you thinking of starting (or expanding) your family and might need some extra seating? Let us know, and we can help build your future plans into your space! ![kitchen renovation tips](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "W078 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Choosing appliances last Always pick your appliances before you settle on the measurements of the rest of your space. You can’t adapt the shape of a fridge, but you can build the cabinets to fit around it. Until you know exactly which appliances you want in your space, it’s impossible to know the exact measurements, and the last thing you want is to guess and end up with a fit issue after the fact. This is extra important if you’re looking at wall ovens, cook tops or any other built-in appliance. #### Being too trendy Trends come and go and while kitchen trends are often longer lasting than clothing or hairstyles, the temptation is always there to take the trends too far. You’ve invested a substantial amount of money and you’re going to want to love your kitchen for a long time, so take steps to make sure it won’t look dated in a few years. Using trendy colours on painted walls, light fixtures or accents that are easy to swap out is always a good plan. Give the bones of your space longevity by choosing classic, timeless finishes that will still make you smile a decade from now. [(Check out our list of current kitchen design trends for some ideas!)](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-trends-2023/) ![kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Not leaving space to breathe With the plethora of kitchen gadgets and features, it’s really tempting to try to cram everything in. No matter what size your kitchen is, if you don’t leave a bit of extra space, you’ll end up feeling cramped and cluttered. Even a few inches of space between your island and the perimeter cabinetry can make all the difference! Don’t forget that you’ll likely want to entertain sometimes, and making sure you have some extra space for your family and friends is a good plan, since we all know they’ll end up where the food is. One of the most common requests we have is “I want to make my space feel bigger” but it’s easy to be your own worst enemy by filling up every free inch.

Before you get out the sledge hammer and pry bar, it’s smart to think a few things through. Bathrooms are tiny spaces with big functions and getting the most out of them can be a tricky business. If you’re investing some cash into the space, you’ll want to be smart with your design when doing a bathroom renovation. So what are some things you need to think about? Keep reading! ![read this before starting a bathroom renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "G049 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Flattering lighting takes planning Bathrooms are small spaces, often don’t have a lot of adequate natural light, and are full of mirrors and shiny reflective materials. Simply plopping a single ceiling light in the middle of the room is not going to light you in the most flattering way, and if there’s any room where flattering light is important, it’s the bathroom. Give a little extra thought to added light fixtures and you’ll be much happier in the long run. ![bathroom renovation tips](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "M266 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Get some natural light! Most of us shy away from windows in the bathroom, (especially in tight communities where privacy can be a concern) but there is no better light for any space than the sun. Big windows make spaces feel bigger, brighter and more open, and there is really no more flattering light. There are ways of ensuring privacy while still bringing in the sunlight, like placing windows high on the wall or utilizing frosted glass. #### Make sure there are outlets where you need them There are a number of electric products you use in the bathroom and having electrical outlets right where you need them is a smart plan. One you might not have thought of: stick one inside the medicine cabinet if you have an electric razor or toothbrush, so you aren’t stuck charging them on the countertop. ![bathroom renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "bathroom renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Add more storage Yes, you probably have a linen closet somewhere in the hallway, but having storage directly inside the bathroom is invaluable. The average person uses a variety of products in the bathroom and having a stash of extra towels and paper products close at hand is a delightful luxury. The last thing you want is to end up leaving things on the countertop because you don’t have a good spot to stash them. Planning your [bathroom renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/custom-bathroom-cabinets/) to add some extra storage space will make your life easier and allow you to stay tidy and organized. #### Consider your guests If you’re [renovating a main bathroom](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/renovating-your-bathroom-on-a-dime/) that is available to your guests, it’s helpful to keep that in mind in your design. While your family knows where to find everything they might need, your guests (the good ones at least) will feel less comfortable looking for something they might need. Having easily accessible and well-stocked products available in plain view is a great way to make your bathroom guest-friendly. This can be included in your design in a variety of ways, so if you need help, feel free to ask! If you have overnight guests, make sure to install a night light so everyone can find their way around even in the dark. ![bathroom renovation tips](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3ODciIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzg3IDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "M332 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Give thought to grout Tile is always a classic finish in a bathroom and for good reason. It’s an incredible way to add design and pattern to a small space. Grout can make or break your tiled surfaces, so we recommend being well informed. Grout is porous, and in a bathroom where there is moisture and humidity, you’d need to seal it well to prevent staining. Also, the grout lines are the areas where grime will likely build up, so if you use a small tile with lots of grout, you may find yourself scrubbing a bit more often. Visually, there is a lot to consider with grout. Do you want it to match the tile, or become a contrasting colour in the pattern? Plan ahead and you’ll be happier with your tile in the long run. ![bathroom design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "sV177 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Not all decor is bathroom friendly Even in a small space, blank walls are no fun… but finding accessories and art to decorate your bathroom with can be a challenge. Lots of the decorator items available are either not easy to clean and just might not hold up to water or humidity. The more detail and design you can add to the space with tile, the better, and be choosy about your artwork. Plants are a great option too. Even fake plants (if you don’t have any windows) can give a fresh natural look to your space and are easy to spray off now and then. ![bathroom renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "bathroom renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Say yes to “hardwood” While real wood floors are generally a bad idea in a humid space, new products on the market have brought the beauty of wood into the bathroom. Many laminate plank flooring materials are waterproof and offer an alternative flooring surface to choose from and allows for a seamless flow from the rest of the house. With patterns that mimic almost any kind of wood, there are dozens of options to choose from. Hopefully we’ve given you a few things to think about as you plan (or dream about) your bathroom renovation. A little extra thought can go a long way to building a space you’ll be happy with.

Maybe you’re working at the kitchen island. Maybe it’s a chill movie night at home. Your kitchen is a multi-functional space, and your lighting should be too! Usually when we think about kitchen lighting, we think about task lighting—good bright overhead light so we can see what we’re doing. But there are many options for your kitchen and this is one area where it might make sense to use them all. In this post, we’ll shine a light on the different types of lighting for your kitchen renovation, so if you’re renovating or building a new space, you know what to ask for! #### AMBIENT LIGHTING: Your kitchen needs a good basic source of overall lighting. Whether this comes from a single or series of ceiling-mounted light fixtures, pot lighting, or pendants, you want to have the option to light everything up at once. While you might generally prefer other types of lighting and you may not need it often, there’s nothing better to clean by (or find all the tiny shards from that glass you just dropped). Trust us. Have the ability to land a plane in there if you need it. You’ll thank us one day. ![kitchen fridge and stove](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen renovation lighting - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### TASK LIGHTING: It’s the obvious choice for a kitchen. Every kitchen needs a solid amount of task lighting because, let’s face it, you’re doing a lot of tasks in there. How you choose to implement your task lighting is different depending on how you’re planning on using your kitchen. Most kitchens have various work zones and can be lit differently with a variety of sources. **Targeted lighting:** If you have a zone that you know will be used heavily (some examples: your kitchen sink, your pantry, or a built-in coffee bar), consider adding some dedicated lighting. Not only does it make the work you’ll need to do there a little bit more pleasant, it’s simply a lot easier to see what you’re doing. A benefit of lighting your kitchen in zones is that you don’t have to have them all on at once. You can wash your dishes by only the light above the sink with relative ease. No one wants to turn on all the bright lights on those dark winter mornings BEFORE the coffee is made. ![kitchen cupboards & drawers](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTciIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjE3IDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen washer and stove - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") **Under-cabinet lighting**: This type of lighting can fall under the task lighting banner too, since it illuminates the countertops along the perimeter of your kitchen. Overhead lighting from a single source in a kitchen means that unless you’re working at an island, you’re likely working with the light behind you. So your body is casting shadows on exactly what you need to see. Under-cabinet lighting puts the light right where it’s most useful…on the counter surface. Not only is it incredible task lighting, but under-cabinet lighting can highlight some of the little splurges you might have opted for… like a beautiful tile or clean stone backsplash. If you’ve got it, flaunt it! (Or at least light it up!). ![kitchen sink](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "under cabinet lighting - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") **Pendant lighting:** Most often utilized above the kitchen island, pendants are a great way to both boost the overall lighting in a room and provide some excellent task lighting to a functional space. While other forms of lighting are a bit more subtle or even hidden, pendants can bring life and personality to the room. Hanging right in the middle of the room, pendants are impossible to miss, visually, and there’s nothing wrong with making a statement! Choosing your pendant(s) is much like choosing a piece of jewellery, find a the look you love and let that little light shine! Similarly, if you have a dining table in your kitchen, finding a beautiful pendant or chandelier can add some sparkle and intimacy to your shared meals. ![kitchen island renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen island countertop - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### ACCENT LIGHTING: **In-cabinet lighting:** This would be the exact opposite of task lighting, but it sure is beautiful! We build a lot of cabinets for customers that include sections with glass doors, because people love to highlight their treasures and keep them visible while still tucked out of sight. Considering in-cabinet lighting is a great way to give that area just a little something extra. An added benefit to this type of subtle lighting is that it’s great to use like a night light when you’re slipping into the kitchen for a late night snack, and need just enough light to see. ![kitchen cupboards windows](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTQ5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU0OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen accent lighting - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") That’s not to say that in-cabinet lighting can’t be extremely useful too! Have you ever wondered why your pantry cabinet doesn’t have a light inside it like your fridge does? How practical would it be to have some extra light on those deep shelves? Never again would you lose a packet of taco seasoning! There are lots of creative places you can add a bit of accent lighting—light up the insides of drawers, or add strip lighting along the toe-kicks of your cabinets for a visual pop. (This is particularly useful in a bathroom to function as a nightlight too!) We don’t say this about everything, but when it comes to light, if it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing! There are only a few areas of a kitchen renovation that can have as much visual impact as a good lighting plan, so if you’re looking to splurge on something, this would be one to consider! Looking into smart-home lighting systems can make the lighting even more customized and functional, and with the technology available, the possibilities are endless! If you’ve been struggling in a dark kitchen and need some help shining some fresh new light into it, we’d love to show you what we can do!

Watching trends, taking stock of cool new products, and gathering ideas to share are part of the job. I see a LOT of incredible Instagram-worthy kitchens, and insta-perfect spaces. It’s enough to make an average person kitchen-conscious. At Gateway Kitchen + Bath we build custom kitchens for everyone. From the smallest to the biggest, from the simplest to the most complicated, we love to create something new, tailored exactly for each of our customers. So, this article is for everyone who wants to build that perfect Insta-Kitchen™, but maybe needs to live there too. ![butler's pantry](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3MzkiIGhlaWdodD0iMTEwMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDczOSAxMTAwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "002 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Hidden. Butler’s. Pantries. Like, do I need to say anything else? A hidden butler’s pantry is the creme-de-la-creme of the Insta-Kitchen™. While yes, some might fill them with perfectly full jars of dry goods and expertly curated soda cans (in rainbow order of course), it’s also a sneaky spot to hide all the actual food you might have in your kitchen. Half-empty chip bags and open boxes of cereal are perfectly hidden out of sight and no one needs to know that you usually just grab a bottle of water directly from the plastic shrink-wrapped packaging. This is where you can keep the flour container that always seems to end up with flour on the outside of it, and no one will ever see. A hidden pantry is also a wonderful place to store some of the extras you need to keep that beautifully stocked refrigerator (don’t worry, we’ll get to that in a second). If there’s only room for 7 cans of lime Bubly in the fridge, what do you do with the other 5 that come in a case? Hidden butler’s pantry for the win. [![perfect fridge for instagram-worthy kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3NTAiIGhlaWdodD0iODIzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzUwIDgyMyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "fridge - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.coastappliances.ca/products/fisher-paykel-35-7-inch-16-8-cu-ft-built-in-french-door-refrigerator-in-panel-ready-rs36a72j1-n?variant=42325192638627) #### Panelled Fridge. While we love the look of visually blending your fridge into your cabinetry with a panel-front, this type of fridge can also serve a dual purpose in the insta-kitchen. Picture this scenario… your fridge is a showpiece of perfection, filled with clear acrylic containers and as organized as a boutique grocery store. Each shelf is it’s own display of colourful prepped veggies, and all the grab-and-go snacks are lined up and ready to grab-and-go. But of course, you’re going to need somewhere to put the rest of that bag of carrots, and the rest of the pack of yogourt that doesn’t fit into the Tetris-stack of containers. Solution? Hide yourself a second fridge. It’s kind of a brilliant idea. Not only will it keep unsightly items like leftovers and half-finished bottles of BBQ sauce out of your visible refrigerator, it also gives everyone the impression that you only eat prepped veggies and the occasional bottle of water. If guests pop by, they will likely head directly to the fridge to be inspired by your health-conscious lifestyle and organizational prowess. No one even needs to know you have another fridge! (Added note: This idea can also extend to dishwashers. You can keep a properly loaded visible dishwasher, and a second, hidden one filled with those plastic containers that never actually dry that was probably loaded by someone else in your household who hasn’t quite grasped the loading rules). ![double layer silverware tray](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "001 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Double-Layered Cutlery Trays While some of us use the built in double-layered cutlery trays to keep our cutlery organized and easy to find, they’re also a handy feature in the Insta-Kitchen™. All your beautiful spoons can be spooned to organized perfection, and yet hidden beneath the sliding top layer there’s a place to tuck those extra fast-food straws, random plastic cutlery you put in the kids’ lunches and that weird mismatched fork you must have accidentally taken home from work four years ago. ![spice rack for instagram-worthy kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "003 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Pull-out Spice Racks Countertop spice racks and their perfectly matched jars will have all your subscribers smashing that “like” button, but they’re generally terrible for your spices. Since spices hold their flavour best and last longest if they’re kept in a cool, dark place, if you like to cook and eat, you’d be better off keeping your display spices and your cooking spices separate. A pull-out spice rack is perfect to tuck away all your flavourful meal-makers in a clean and convenient way. As a bonus, you don’t even need to take them out of their mismatched plastic containers because no one will see them anyway! (Feel free to use the pretty spices in your Tiktoks and reels, though. Your audience doesn’t need to eat it to love it!). #### Bigger Kitchens/More Cabinets Now this one MIGHT seem like a sales pitch to get you to buy more cabinets, but hear us out… It’s really hard to fit a tripod and some lights into a small kitchen and still get some good pictures/video that don’t make everything distorted because you needed a wide-angle lens. With some extra room in your Insta-Kitchen™, you’ll not only have space for your gear (and your stash of specialty small appliances), but a lot more composition options. You can’t have all your shots looking the same, after all. Well, that’s all the tips we can think of for now, but take a second and make sure you follow us for more life hacks.

It seems like an easy task until you start rolling the paint on and start to panic. If that sounds familiar, this article is for you. We’ll run through the top tips you need to know to choose the paint for your space. #### Don’t overthink it. Remember… it’s just paint—literally the cheapest way to change the look and feel of any space. When you’re elbows deep in a major renovation, the cost (both in time and product) of paint is a relatively small one. You can obsess about whether “Sahara” or “Sand” is the perfect shade for your kitchen remodel, but the reality is that by the time the walls are done you may not even remember which one you ended up picking. ![choosing paint](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjQ2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDY0NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "002 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Choose your paint colours last. Not only are there thousands of shades available, but paint can easily be colour-matched to coordinate with other elements from the room. There are far fewer [bathroom cabinet](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/home/bathroom-renovation-and-cabinets/) colours (or tile colours, countertop colours, flooring colours, fabrics… you get the picture) to choose from, and all of those items are significantly more expensive than a few cans of paint. It’s far more difficult to try to find a tile to match a paint swatch than to find a paint swatch to match a tile. #### Test, test, test. Those little bitty paint swatches are handy, but if you’re not sure you’ve got enough confidence to pick something from them, don’t be scared to get some test cans made. For minimal cost, most hardware stores will mix up a test amount of the colours you want and you can paint some onto one of your walls. How we perceive colours can vary widely in different types of light and on different wall planes, so paint some onto the wall of the room you’re renovating and take a look at them during different times of day and under different lighting conditions. Please don’t choose your paint colours while you’re standing in the hardware store. Lighting in box stores is typically not at all similar to household lighting, so bring it back to your kitchen and see what it actually looks like there. One thing to also remember while testing… if you’re painting over a wall that already has a colour on it, small test patches may look weird because your impression of the colours will be influenced by the colour around them. If you think you might have trouble, a quick coat of white primer to paint your sample paints on to might be a smart thing to do. ![choosing paint for your renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "003 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### Don’t forget about the sheen. Once you’ve chosen a paint colour for that new bathroom, you’ve tested it out and you’re excited to get it up on the wall, it’s time to consider the sheen. Typically the glossier the paint, the more wipe-able and durable it will be, but any flaws or inconsistencies on your wall will be much more visible. Matte paints, however, will hide those flaws and won’t reflect a shine, but won’t be quite as durable. #### Don’t be scared to try something bold. Like we mentioned, paint is a generally inexpensive way to change the look of any room in your home, and that makes it the perfect place to play a little. Trying out trendy colours on the wall is a pretty low-commitment way to experiment, and when you’re in the mood for something different, it’s relatively easy to paint over. ![001](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTYzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU2MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "001 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Still stuck?

From the latest colours and textures, to new storage solutions that make your experience in the kitchen more efficient, we’ve got our eyes on whatever is coming next. Sometimes, however, it’s really fun to dream about what trends might be well down the road in kitchen renovation. Beyond the next steps, what are the kitchens of the future going to look like? How will our experience differ 5 or 10 years down the road? We racked our brains and came up with a few things that we think will start becoming more important in kitchen design and function. Some of them are already underway, and some we just wish were already here. Let’s see how our predictions stack up! ## Kitchen Trends Prediction #1: Integrated Gardening With rising grocery costs and an increased focus on healthy food, grow-it-yourself kitchen trends have been gathering steam over the last few years. In the past, bringing aeroponics or hydroponics into your home meant bulky homemade and often complicated systems. Those days are nearly gone. Ever year there are more companies who are building set-it-and-forget-it growing systems made for use at home. Who doesn’t want a fresh crop of lettuce, fresh herbs and greens available all year? (Especially when you’ve got winters like we do in Winnipeg). Even small fruiting plants can be grown now using countertop aeroponics systems. [Just Vertical](https://justvertical.com/) offers Canadian-built indoor garden systems that fit into your house as seamlessly and beautifully as furniture. Check out their AEVA system below: ![aeva hydroponics just vertical](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Aeva - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") So what does this mean for the future? We think that it won’t be long before simple growing systems become as integral to your kitchen as your refrigerator. In 2012, Hyundai released a concept for their idea of what future kitchens will look like with their plan for the Kitchen Nano Garden. Using recycled grey water from cooking and dishwashing, this system was imagined to fit into your kitchen as a beautiful living display and provide a constant supply of healthy, chemical-free produce. ![kitchen trends of the future](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4MzgiIGhlaWdodD0iNjY0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODM4IDY2NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen-nano-garden1 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Designers: Lee Hyun-Jung, Park Jae-Yong, Shon Chang-Jin and Park Seul-Ki ![kitchen trends of the future](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjk1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDY5NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen-nano-garden2 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") While this is still only a concept, we’re sure the industry will continue to grow and develop. Building cabinetry with integrated lighting or grow systems that can help you produce some of your fresh food with ease in the comfort of your home is one of the kitchen trends we’ve got our eyes on. ## Kitchen Trends Prediction #2: Hidden Appliances Kitchen design has always needed to straddle the line between beauty and functionality. While design and style is incredibly important, the fact is that a kitchen is a hard-working room too. It’s full of tools that need to be easily accessible, easy to clean and able to withstand constant use. As time progresses we are getting better and better at making all those tools a little less visible in the design. We can now put panels onto the outside of your fridge and dishwasher so they disappear into your cabinetry, and it’s possible to build induction ranges underneath stone countertops that are invisible at a glance, so you have a completely unobstructed surface area (like this one from [InvisaCook](https://invisacook.com/)). ![invisacook hidden induction range](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "INFINITY-INVISACOOK - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Kitchen Renovation Prediction #3: Smart Kitchens We’re already well on our way with this [kitchen trend](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-trends-for-2025/). Every tool in the kitchen is rapidly getting smarter, more connected to each other (and us) and offers more features. From intelligent lighting to refrigerators that make sure you’ve always got enough eggs and fresh fruit, we see much of the kitchen work like meal planning, shopping and cooking continuing to simplify and automate. Kitchen faucets can now be voice activated so you never need to grab a handle with messy hands, and Grohe even has a faucet that dispenses carbonated water on demand. Of course, that doesn’t mean we think you’ll never want to get more involved in cooking. Cooking is tactile and most satisfying when you make a bit of a mess, but in the future you’ll have more options available when you want or need. ## Kitchen Trends Prediction #4: Waste Minimization It’s a simple fact, kitchens produce more household waste than any other space in your home. Food waste is smelly, wet and generally unpleasant, and kitchens make a steady supply. We’re already starting to see electric composting machines like this [Lomi](https://pela.earth/products/lomi), and we think this industry will continue to grow until every kitchen has the ability to process its own waste. ![kitchen trends of the future](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "lomi-composter - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") From carrot peels to stale bread and even some compostable packaging, a home compost system can easily and quickly turn waste into quality soil that can be used for houseplants or gardens. The Lomi can even handle animal products, so between that and a good recycling program, you could cut down the landfill-bound waste from your kitchen significantly and do something good for the environment at the same time. ## Kitchen Renovation Prediction #5: Self-Cleaning Kitchens If we’re going to dream about [kitchen trends,](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-design-trends-2022/) we might as well dream big. We weren’t really able to find anyone who is already making useful products in this area just yet, but we figured there was no harm in asking! Cleaning and sanitizing are important tasks for a kitchen since many foods can harbour bacteria and no one wants to get sick because they missed something while wiping down the countertop. We’re dreaming about self-cleaning countertops, dust and crumb sucking floor cleaners, sink sanitation and maybe a good overall steam cleaning system to lift those mystery sticky bits. At Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we love to innovate and discover new [solutions to create kitchens](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/storage-solutions-kitchen-remodel/) that work for you. Have an idea? Want to try something new? [Contact us and talk to one of our talented designers, and we’ll see how we can help.](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/) **Categories:** Trends --- ### [Kitchen Trends 2023](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-trends-2023/) **Published:** December 7, 2022 **Author:** Jessica Gollub **Content:** # Kitchen Trends 2023 ![kitchen trends 2023](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/kitchen-trends-2023-2.jpg "kitchen trends 2023 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") It’s that time of year again! Time to look into the Gateway crystal ball and tell you what kitchen renovation trends we’re seeing either gaining steam or holding strong for 2023! We polled our design teams (very scientifically of course) and narrowed down their responses to our top 10. ## Kitchen Trends #1: Smart Technology It’s 2023, so tech of all stripes has to be at the top of the list. Every year new toys come out that make our lives easier, and there are plenty of tools we’re seeing for the kitchen. Smart appliances are gaining momentum as they add useful features: preheat your oven without needing to make the trek to the kitchen; check the drink supply in your fridge on your phone from the grocery store; turn on your kitchen faucet with voice command; or ask Alexa for the next ingredient in the recipe you’re making. Beyond appliances and fixtures, we’re seeing increasing interest in smart lighting and temperature control, automated pet feeding stations, sound systems and integrated charging stations either built into a drawer or as part of the countertop itself. ![kitchen trends: pet stations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen trends pets - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Kitchen Trends #2: Pet stations On the subject of our furry family members, more of our customers have been looking for creative ways to carve out space for their pets. Building a feeding station into the cabinetry, or adding faucets near the pet bowls for easy filling can all be done with the help of our talented designers and skilled trades. Kitchens are a prime place to store and serve food and water for our pets so creating a space that doesn’t feel like an afterthought makes for a tidier look and uncluttered floor space. ## Kitchen Trends #3: Storage Solutions Uncluttered floor space and a kitchen that’s a breeze to use and clean! Isn’t that what we all want? Integrated storage solutions have been a [kitchen trend](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-trends-for-2025/) for a while and they are giving no indications of stopping any time soon. We’re seeing drawer organizers, pullout spice racks, pantries, and corner units. A smart storage plan makes organizing and rotating ingredients easier, and saves money as nothing gets lost or wasted because you forgot you had it. Coming up with a storage plan that works for you can be tricky to do on your own, but our designers are happy to help you discover how you use your kitchen and devise exactly the right solutions for your space and needs. [![Web Hosting Canada](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAMPDwwAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=)](https://clients.whc.ca/aff.php?aff=5654&lang=en&lp=hc) ![trends in kitchen design 2023](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen trends storage solutions - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Kitchen Trends #4: Sustainability Sustainability almost made our list last year but we definitely had to include it this year. We all know that the choices we make and the products we consume have an affect on the world around us, so making eco-friendly choices in a major renovation (like a kitchen) can be a smart move. Sustainable materials are getting better, more beautiful and easier to find and use, so what once was a “boutique” option is now a whole lot more mainstream. One of the best ways we can recommend being sustainable is opting for quality craftsmanship so the work you do today will last decades and continue to function for as long as possible. Let’s all do what we can to be a bit greener in 2023! ![kitchen design and renovation trends: green](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen trends green cabinets - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Kitchen Trends #5: Green All of it. Every Shade. Everywhere. People are loving green, and we’re loving building with it. ‘Nuff said. ## Kitchen Trends #6: Bold Colours White kitchens will probably never be dethroned, but more and more people are shaking off the neutrals and feeling free to inject a whole lot more personality into their spaces. Unique colour choices, bold tile, playful accents… we’re here for it all. Your space should be a reflection of you and make you happy every time you walk into it, and that’s what we want to help you build. ![design and renovation trends for kitchens: moody and glam](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen trends moody glam - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Kitchen Trends #7: Mood, Glitter and Glam Maybe it’s not the light, bright, playful colours you want… that’s ok! We’re also really loving the trend of injecting some major drama into your home. Moody dark colours, rich masculine finishes as smooth as your favourite bourbon, and just enough sparkle. We’ve got you. With a focus on heavily grained woods, leathers, natural stone and bold tile choices, there is a lot of brooding fun to be had with this trend! ## Kitchen Trends #8: Light Woods For those of us who might not be ready for the mood and drama, light woods are coming back. Painted cabinets have been popular for a while, but we’re seeing a definite move toward integrating more natural woods. With barely-there stains that highlight the natural beauty of wood, this trend can be used on it’s own or part of a two-tone design. It’s fresh, clean, minimalist and beautiful. ![kitchen design and remodel trends 2023](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen trends skinny shaker - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Kitchen Trends #9: The Skinny Shaker The minimalist trend is holding strong, but what if you wanted a little more detail than a sleek slab door? Enter the skinny shaker! A midpoint between a flat slab and the ever-classic shaker door. Pair this style with an inset door design and you’ve really got something special. These cabinet doors can be made with a painted or wood finish, and are simply stunning! ## Kitchen Trends #10: High Quality Appliances When you’re building your dream kitchen, splurging a bit on the appliances just feels right. Whether you love to cook, or just wish you did, a beautiful set of appliances is hard to beat. We’re seeing more people opt for chef-quality appliances (or at least the residential equivalent) whenever they can, to create really impressive spaces. Oversized cooktops, side-by-side full width fridge/freezer sets, premium finishes, integrated or hidden induction cooktops—the sky (and your budget) is the limit! ![high end appliances trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen trends appliances - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") That’s everything that made the list this year! Didn’t see your favourites? That’s ok! While we love a good trend, the lists are never the most important consideration… you are! We do custom design and build cabinetry to order, so our focus is always making sure your ideas, needs and personality are included to give you a space that’s uniquely yours.

When you make an investment in your home, every minute you spend on basic cabinet care and upkeep increases its longevity, ensuring you get the best value for the dollars you put in. What are the best ways to ensure you get the best return on your investment? We’ve been building cabinets and renovating homes for 40 years, so there are some pretty time-tested cabinets out there, and we know all the best ways to make sure yours last just as long. ![custom kitchen cabinets care and maintenance](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Custom Kitchen Cabinets Care And Maintenance - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## 1. Start caring for your space BEFORE you build it It may sound a bit strange, but getting the best bang for your buck on your kitchen renovation investment starts at the pencil and paper stage. Some of the factors that determine the longevity of your kitchen or bathroom can be determined in the initial design phase. ### Resist trendy investment pieces and opt for classic styles. Now before you revolt… hear us out. This doesn’t mean that you should build something you don’t like, or ignore the things that are current or stylish. We just want you to be strategic about it. Think back to some of the design choices from the 80s and 90s. Glass block walls and stencilled or wallpaper borders were never destined to go the distance, but one of them required a lot more work to remove than the other. When it comes to the expensive and more permanent parts of your space (the cabinetry, the layout, countertops, tile, and flooring), it’s best to choose styles and finishes that you love and ones that you’ll be able to make work with all those unknown future trends. ![cabinet maintenance](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Cabinet Maintenance - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Painting your walls, decorating your space, changing furniture and artwork, even swapping out fixtures and hardware are generally simple tasks and can breathe new life into a space without the cost and hassle of a major renovation. Invest in the longevity of your renovation by making the expensive choices ones that will last. That said, how you choose to do this is entirely up to you! The most important factor in how long your renovation lasts is how much you love it. If your space doesn’t reflect your lifestyle and personality, you’ll grow dissatisfied with it more quickly than if you make eclectic choices that suit you perfectly. ### Make smart hardware selections It may seem counter-intuitive for kitchens and bathrooms and other spaces that get used regularly, but if you want your cabinets to outlast your expectations you’ll need to keep your hands off them. The oils from your hands and constant touching result in damage to the finish (most often seen as shiny spots or fingerprints you just can’t get rid of). Trust me, we know how beautiful and minimalist those touch-latch cabinet doors are, and we will absolutely build them for you if that’s the look that speaks to you, but be forewarned about the downsides. ![cabinet care hardware choices](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Cabinet Care Hardware Choices - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Thankfully, there exists a wide selection of cabinet and drawer pulls that can almost eliminate this kind of permanent damage (as long as you use them), and we’d be happy to help you find the right ones. Those of you who may have just realized your dreams of handle-free doors might not be the best idea can look into edge pulls for that clean and simplified look. ## 2. Stay on top of regular care and maintenance Regular and consistent care is what is going to keep your cabinetry and renovation looking its best for as long as possible. It can take time, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Humidity, heat, water, cooking greases and constant use are the main enemies in the battle for cleanliness and damage prevention, and of course, all of those factors are typically present in a kitchen. Being proactive and keeping things as clean as possible will ensure your new cabinets last for decades. ![cabinet care and maintenance](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Cabinet Care And Maintenance - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### Cleaning Not only does regular cleaning keep your home spic and span, it also ensures your home functions at its best. Every material in your home has the potential to collect dust and grime and there are no rooms that do this better than kitchens and bathrooms. Not to mention, these are the two rooms you REALLY want to keep clean and sanitary. Cabinets and countertops should be wiped down regularly with soft, damp cloths. Try not to use excessive amounts of water on cabinet surfaces to ensure nothing is absorbed into the edges. You don’t need much in the way of cleaning products, just a bit of dish soap and water works well. Try to avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, scrubby pads, scrapers and anything that may scratch or dull the surface. Wipe up spills right away and try not to let them soak into or dry onto any surface to prevent staining. Crumbs and dirt have a way of falling into every drawer, so either wipe them out or use the brush attachment on your vacuum to easily clean them up. Once or twice a year, it’s a good habit to do a deeper cleaning to get rid of the buildup that happens (especially in a kitchen were there are airborne cooking oils, but also in humidity-prone bathrooms). Use a soft brush to get into corners and edges that might be missed by a cloth. Give a scrub to any exposed cabinet tops, and wipe down any grime that may have collected on hinges or pulls. If you want to give your pulls a deeper cleaning, it’s best to take them off before you scrub them to prevent any scratching at your finished surfaces. ![classic custom cabinet choices](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Classic Custom Cabinet Choices - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") If you find your cabinets are feeling sticky or greasy and general washing isn’t helping, look for a mild oil-based cleanser (We’ve had good luck with Murphy’s Oil Soap, or a liquid castile soap). This type of soap can cut through grease and restore the shine. As with all cleaners, it’s smart to test on an inconspicuous spot to ensure it won’t damage your finish before broad use. ### Care As our grandmothers always said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. The more you do to prevent damage in the first place, the less fixing you’ll need to do. **Keep an eye on the moving parts:** Every moving part of your cabinets may need adjustment from time to time. If doors and drawers start to shift and rub against each other, it won’t be long before you’re going to start to ruin the finish, so be proactive! European hinges are a standard in the cabinetry industry, so [learn how to keep them adjusted](https://www.wikihow.com/Adjust-Euro-Style-Cabinet-Hinges) (it’s simple, we promise) and if you find that your drawers are binding, rubbing, or not sitting properly, investigate early. (Remember, we stand behind our work, so if you’re having trouble with a Gateway product, please give us a call right away, and we’ll be happy to help.) ![cabinet care protect from heat](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Cabinet Care Protect From Heat - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") **Self-Cleaning ovens:** Most self-cleaning ovens do their work by heating up to temperatures well beyond those you’d use to cook, and even the outside surfaces of your oven can get quite warm during a cleaning cycle. This added heat can wreak havoc on nearby wood and finished surfaces. While painted or stained cabinets can withstand some heat (some may discolour), Thermofoil wrapped cabinet doors can handle very little and melt quickly. We get it, the inside of ovens get filthy and to be honest, spray cleaners aren’t good for finished cabinetry either, so what can you do? Firstly, try to avoid spills inside your oven. Slide a cookie sheet underneath that pie that threatens to overflow or loosely cover splatter-prone dishes with foil. Next, do your best to stay on top of small spills and splatters inside your oven so you won’t need to use the self-cleaning feature as often. For more stubborn spills, try heating up a pan of water in your oven to create some steam to help loosen things up. Spot clean as often as you can. Some oven brands are aware of the damage heat can cause, and more and more are coming out with steam-cleaning ovens to replace the high-heat versions. If you’re replacing appliances during your renovation, look for one of those to help your cabinets stay looking their best. If you do need to use the self-cleaning feature on your oven, and you are able to, pull your oven a little ways away from the wall. Much of the heat will escape through the edges of the door, so any distance you can create between that and your cabinet faces will help. ![custom kitchen cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDU2IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjIxODQiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxNDU2IDIxODQiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## 3. Fix damage when it happens Sometimes despite our best efforts, damage and wear and tear happen anyway. Here are some suggestions on how to fix it, hide it, or prevent further damage: **Worn away finish on stained wood cabinets**: This type of wear occurs most often on edges and corners, and while it can be unsightly is generally easy to touch up. If you know the colour of the stain you used or can find one that’s close, a light touch on the exposed wood is usually enough to blend it right in. Hardware stores even carry stain pens for this very purpose. Because wood can have multiple shades to it, even if you can’t get an exact match, you can usually find something that will work. The key here is using as little as possible with a light touch, and wipe off any excess. It’s like salt when cooking… its easier to add than it is to take away, so start slowly. **Worn away finish on painted cabinets**: Touching up a painted surface is a lot trickier than stained wood. Variations in colour are a lot more noticeable on painted finishes, and even if you have some paint in the original colour, years of sunlight and wear can change the colour of a finish just enough that it won’t match the original colour anymore. If you do have a good match, adding some paint to a small nick with an art brush can be enough to blend it in so it won’t catch your eye. For anything larger, or for paint colours that are hard to match, we recommend consulting a pro. **Sagging Shelves**: While we do everything we can to prevent this from happening, there are times (especially when you store heavy items) when shelves will begin to bow. The best thing to do is be proactive. If your shelves are removable, flip them over regularly so they don’t continue to bend in the same direction. If you can’t remove the shelves, give us a call and we’ll see if we can find a way to add extra support. ![maintenance of custom cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Maintenance Of Custom Cabinets - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") **Stripped Screw Holes**: It happens. Maybe you tried to use an open door to steady yourself, or one of your drawers was a bit overloaded and now a screw has pulled out. Once the screw has pulled loose, it seems daunting to repair, especially when it’s in a spot that lines up with a hinge or other hardware. We actually have a fairly simple fix that works in this situation. All you need are some regular toothpicks and wood glue. 1. Remove the hardware and clean out any loose debris from the hole in question 2. Dip the ends of your toothpicks in the wood glue and stuff as many into the hole as you can. (There will be toothpick ends sticking out, but don’t worry about that yet) 3. Let the glue dry—overnight ideally. If you’re worried about them shifting use some masking tape to hold them in place 4. Once dry, use a utility knife to cut away the toothpick ends flush with the cabinetry. Be careful here so you don’t damage the surrounding finish. 5. Reinstall the hardware, driving the screw right through the toothpicks and glue. **Loose handle screws**: After years of use, the threads of these screws can wear down and become loose. You’ll find that you’re needing to tighten them regularly to keep the handles from moving or turning. To fix, take the screw out, add a little bit of superglue or [Loctite](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Loctite-Threadlocker-Red-271-0-20-fl-oz-Specialty-Glue-209741/100371833) to the hole and reinstall the hardware. **Stained or damaged stone countertops**: Our friends at [Solid Stone Countertops](https://solidstone.ca/) did a series of posts about stone countertops and they’re full of information on how to maintain your countertops and prevent (or fix) damage. Check them out: [Heat and Impact](https://solidstone.ca/stone-countertop-stress-test-part-2-heat-impact/) and [Stains.](https://solidstone.ca/stone-countertop-stress-test-part-1-stains/) ![cabinetry care and maintenance](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDU2IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjIxODQiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxNDU2IDIxODQiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Cabinetry Care And Maintenance - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") **Worn butcher block countertops**: Butcher block countertops are one of the most complicated to regularly maintain, but the easiest one to repair if needed. You don’t need much more than some sandpaper, some elbow grease and a good coating of butcher block oil. Staying on top of regularly oiling your butcher block goes a long way to keeping your countertops in tip-top shape, but even if you’ve gotten behind, it doesn’t take much more work to catch up. Sand down any stained areas, visible knife marks, dents and dings and re-coat with a good oil and you’ll be good as new. **Worn or dull laminate countertops**: Laminate is a sturdy and long-wearing material, but the finish does dull with use over time. Beyond your countertop just not looking their best, if you have light-coloured laminate, this can also lead to increased staining. There are a few products on the market that can help (please don’t use car wax), but one we’ve used and are familiar with is [Gel-Gloss](https://www.gel-gloss.com/shop/original-gel-gloss-8oz/). While product like this one aren’t permanent solutions (you’ll need to reapply every few months) they can definitely extend the life of your countertops. ## 4. Enjoy your space! The best way to make sure your cabinets and home renovations last is to enjoy it. A space you feel happy in—that reflects your style and personality—is going to be a space you treasure and take care of. Does your home fit that bill? If not, maybe it’s time to [schedule an appointment with one of our designers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/schedule-appointment/) and see how we can help you build something extraordinary. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [Home Renovation FAQ](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/home-renovation-faq/) **Published:** August 15, 2023 **Author:** Jessica Gollub **Excerpt:** We get a lot of questions about home renovation, and we’re always happy to answer. It’s important to us at Gateway Kitchen + Bath to be honest and transparent, and share our knowledge and decades experience so you have everything you need to confidently make informed decisions before you start a renovation project. **Content:** # Home Renovation FAQ ![renovation faq](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzIwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDcyMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Faq Image - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") We get a lot of questions about home renovation, and we’re always happy to answer. It’s important to us at Gateway Kitchen + Bath to be honest and transparent, and share our knowledge and decades experience so you have everything you need to confidently make informed decisions before you start a renovation project. We pulled together a list of some of our most common Renovation FAQ with our answers. Hope they can help! ### How long does a kitchen renovation take? This is probably one of our most common questions, and as with any custom renovation project, the answer can vary. What we’ve found is that what most people are asking is “how long will you be in my house?” For the average kitchen renovation, we are physically present and working in your house for about 4-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your project. ### How much does a custom renovation cost? Probably more than you think it will. This is another very common renovation FAQ we get, and because of the nature of custom work, it’s generally a difficult one to answer without more information. There are dozens of variables that can factor into the cost of a major renovation, but one currently deserves special attention: Material costs have undergone a marked increase in the past few years. There is no single industry that hasn’t seen higher costs, and because renovations are a combination of multiple trades and industries working together, it stands to reason the final costs will be higher too. We do everything we can to respect your planned budget, and when that’s not possible, openly discuss options. For more information on what goes into our costs, [we have a more in-depth analysis here](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/renovation-cost/). ![renovation faq](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "S079 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### How do I choose a contractor for my renovation project? Of course, we have to answer this one with “just come see us” to make the marketing department happy, but we get it. There are lot of options available and it can be difficult to know who to trust with something as expensive, disruptive and intimate as renovating your home. We’ve seen a lot of renovation companies come and go in our time, so we know what to look for. Beyond the basics of getting a written contract, asking about their insurance, meeting face to face, and being leery of large deposits, we’ve got some suggestions to make the process easier. Firstly, ask around. You probably know at least a few people who have had renovations done. Get all their stories, the good, the bad and the ugly parts of their experience. Look at their spaces if possible to get an idea of materials and quality. If your friends and family had a good experience and are happy with their space, chances are your experience will be similar. Second, please don’t choose a renovator who doesn’t have a physical location. It sounds crazy, but there are renovators out there who seem to exist only on a Kijiji ad. It’s too easy for a renovator you can’t visit to disappear, and if you’re mid-project and they have a large amount of your money, that’s a problem. Third, find someone who guarantees their work. Without a warranty of any kind, shoddy work is your problem to deal with, and you have little recourse. ### I got other quotes, why is yours higher? We didn’t get into the renovation business to rip people off, and we certainly hope that any contractor who did wouldn’t last more than 40 years in the business. Our goal at Gateway is to do the job correctly and build something that will last. We’ve been doing this a long time and when we design a space with you, we focus on quality materials, finishes that will be both durable and beautiful, cabinetry that is sturdy enough to stand the test of time, and superior craftsmanship and customer service. Yes, there are cheaper materials and many ways to cut costs (including, unfortunately, just not disclosing them to the customer before the contract is signed), but we want you to have the best. We also want you to be fully informed about every cost involved before your project starts. ![reno faq](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Z085 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### What part of my home renovation should I tackle first? If you’ve got a number of projects that need to be done, it’s important to complete them in the right order. While it’s fun to dream about how your home looks or that beautiful new kitchen, the first reno projects that you should focus on are the ones that, if not done, can deteriorate or cause damage in your home. These include projects like a leaky roof, structural/foundation issues, mould, insulation, or faulty plumbing and wiring. Never choose a design project until you’ve addressed all the ticking time bombs. Once you are satisfied with the structure and function of your home, then it’s time to move on to form. At that point the choice falls with what you can afford to complete and what will make the biggest impact in your home. (You may need to weigh both of those questions against each other because they often don’t come up with the same answer). ### Will there be delays in my renovation project? Short answer: Probably. For some perspective, we don’t plan delays into our projects and we work hard to mitigate them whenever possible, but our experience tells us to factor it in. Delays can be caused by a number of different things, and many of them are out of our control. From unexpected surprises in your home that you didn’t know about (think plumbing or electrical issues that aren’t evident until we open the walls), to discontinued products we need to re-source, or even mass supply chain issues like we saw in the last few years—there are lots of things that can derail a timeline. If you’re working with a renovator who claims they don’t have delays, we’d advise caution. Delays are an unwanted but normal part of the renovation process. An experienced contractor will be able to identify little ones before they become big ones and keep the schedule on track. ![renovation faq](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "A043 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### Do I need a permit for my renovation? Most likely. Between building permits and separate trade permits (plumbing, electrical, etc) the chances are good that you’ll need at least one if you’re planning a major renovation. The good news is, we handle all of that for you so you don’t need to worry about it. We’ll ensure appropriate permits are pulled and inspections happen to keep your project in compliance. ### What time do you start working in the morning? We work with lots of different tradespeople, and each one has their own preference, but if you have someone coming first thing in the morning, generally you can expect a start time between 8-8:30am. All work times scheduled in your home will be regularly updated on your live calendar, so check that often. If you have a schedule preference, or times we need to work around, let us know. The more information we have about what works best for you, the better. ### How do I keep dust out of other areas of my home? Short (and honest) answer: you can’t. Drywall dust is impossible to contain entirely, and if you’re renovating any part of your home, there will be dust. That said, there are steps you can take to make it a bit easier to manage. During demolition and any drywall work, drape plastic over furniture and electronics. If possible, turn off any electronics that have a cooling fan if you don’t need them, as dust can get sucked inside. Put away any clutter (even pictures on the walls) that can be difficult to dust around so you can easily wipe flat surfaces when needed. All of these steps can help, but be aware that no matter what you do, your entire home will need a deep clean once we’re done (possibly including the furnace ducts if you’re renovating during a heating or cooling season). We aim to keep our work areas as clean as possible, but drywall dust stays in the air until long after we’ve cleaned up and gone, so the following days will be dusty. ![home renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "W068 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### Why does a bathroom renovation cost so much when it’s such a small space? Second only to the kitchen, the bathroom is one of the most complex rooms in your house, and by square footage is the most expensive to renovate. There is a lot going on in a small space, including specialized plumbing, multiple fixtures, specialized electrical, waterproofing, tile and more. All those pieces add up quickly. Another cost that is often overlooked: Trade minimums. A bathroom is a small space, so depending how much work needs to be done the cost of getting a tradesperson to your home may be bumped up to their minimum rate. Multiply that minimum charge by a few tradespeople and your costs are going up. ### Is it possible to renovate my home with small children? Our answer to this question is a “yes, but.” It’s entirely possible to renovate with small children at home, but there’s some extra planning you’ll need to do to make it easier on yourself. Safety is always a concern for us. With tools, large materials and fixtures moving around in your house, it’s important to keep small children out of traffic areas for their safety and the safety of our tradespeople. Another concern can be noise and disruption. Naps will be difficult in a renovation zone, and if you follow a strict schedule or routine, it will be interrupted. Plan for a lot of time outside of the home, make use of babysitting/daycare, and do your best to keep your own stresses in check to ensure your kids are safe and happy. ![custom backsplash kitchen design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Backsplash Kitchen Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### Do you reface existing cabinets? As a general rule, we don’t, and while we understand the need/desire to keep costs lower, we don’t actually recommend it. Cabinet doors/finishes and hardware are some of the most expensive parts of your cabinetry, and the labour costs involved with refacing are higher so there’s not actually much of a cost savings. Also, depending on the original cabinets, it’s not always possible to change the outsides well enough for it to stay beautiful and durable for you. There are often issues below the surface that aren’t addressed with refacing, and you may end up dissatisfied with the finished product. We’d recommend delaying a kitchen makeover if needed and build new when you can. ### Can you colour-match my existing cabinetry? Most of the time, we absolutely can! At Gateway we have our own paint booth, and do all our finishing in-house. Because of this, and relationships with our local paint and stain experts, we can confidently colour match at least 95% of existing cabinetry. Remember that your choice of wood can affect how a stain looks, so if you would like something matched, it’s best to go with a wood that coordinates as well. ### I have a very specific idea for the cabinetry in my home, can you build it? We can! The nature of custom cabinetry and the talented people we have on our design, engineering and build teams mean that if you can show it to us, we can most likely build it. While we do offer certain door profiles, cabinet sizes, and finish colours, we love to stretch our abilities and do something unique. Bring us your ideas, and let’s see what we can build together. We hope the answers to our Renovation FAQ were a help to you as you research for your upcoming project.

We’ve been in the biz since glass blocks were the bees knees and we’ve seen so many trends come and go over the years. Every year we like to collect some of our favourite trends to share so you can dream and plan and build with us! Our design team is always on top of the newest and most exciting developments, so are our picks for 2024! ## Clean, Clutter-free and Minimalist Spaces. Now you may be thinking this is more a lifestyle trend than a design trend, but how you design a kitchen can go a long way to making this real and sustainable. It’s almost impossible to keep a space sleek and tidy if you don’t have a home for every necessary (or luxury) item, so being smart with your storage and design choices is a must. You’re not likely to forgo a toaster, but if you don’t want it sitting on your counter all the time, you’ll need to integrate it into your storage plans. Things you use daily should be handy to access and also quick to tuck away. So what’s the practical tip here? Before you start a renovation, take an honest inventory of what’s left on your countertops over a week or two, and let us help you find solutions. If you’re finding a steady mass of reusable water bottles and coffee mugs (who doesn’t have too many of those?), maybe a dedicated custom pull-out near your coffee station or refrigerator is an option that would work. Small appliances of all kinds fit well into deep drawers near your work space. A handy and easy-to-organize pantry can keep foodstuffs from collecting on the counter (assuming you’ve got the rest of your household on board, of course), and a dedicated command centre can be a home for all the paper, keys, pens and other bits that always find their way onto every flat surface. Even tech with all its charging cords can be managed in a tidy way with some clever planning. ![kitchen trends 2024 layered lighting](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Kitchen Trends 2024 Layered Lighting - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Layered and Minimalist Lighting. For many years, the idea of a bold, statement light fixture has dominated kitchen lighting plans, but we’re seeing a softer, less obvious approach to lighting. While it’s incredibly important to have multiple levels of lighting for a room that has so much activity, the focus is increasingly on using light to highlight the features in a room, rather than featuring the fixture itself. We’re seeing hidden, integrated or subtle light fixtures that can offer flexibility in how you illuminate your space. Under-cabinet lighting is great for both ambient and task lighting in the work surfaces below. Toe-kick lighting is becoming more common, offering some whimsy or a hint of drama—and really, what better method is there to light your way through a dark kitchen on those early mornings or when you’re finding yourself in need of a midnight snack? Lighting plans are including more architectural lighting, using light to create a mood or draw the eye to something special. Sconces, and wall washes add drama and interest to a space while simultaneously providing necessary ambient lighting. We can’t talk about lighting without also mentioning smart home systems. The ability to set different moods with your lighting and advancements with changing colour temperatures (and even colours) means the sky is the limit if you love a creative and flexible lighting plan. ## Opulent Appliances. There’s a German saying that roughly translates to “if you’re gonna do it… do it”, and we see that attitude all the time when it comes to appliances. While they’re a large expense, if you’re going through the effort of renovating a kitchen, you’re going to want it to make sure it has every feature you want. Gone are the days of simply plopping in a standard consumer range, instead our customers are opting for pieces that make a visual statement or spark interest because you can’t see them at all. We’re seeing large gas ranges and also [invisible induction cooktops](https://invisacook.com/) that are built into stone countertops. Whatever your cooking or design preference, there’s an appliance available for you. For high-end kitchens, more people are opting for the side-by-side full size fridge and freezer sets, and if you’ve got the space, why make do with one dishwasher when you can have two? Even specialty appliances are getting their day. We’ve built a kitchen with a cold milk dispenser, and what’s to stop you from integrating a built-in coffee maker or ice machine? The little splurges, upgrades, and luxuries that take your space up a notch are sometimes a comparatively small expense when you’re planning a major renovation, and that would be the time to take the plunge if you want it. ![kitchen trends 2024 appliances](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTk2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU5NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Trends 2024 Appliances - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Transformers: Kitchens in Disguise. Who among us can say they wouldn’t want an element of surprise and amazement in their new kitchen when those first guests come over? Kitchens have long been multi-functional spaces, but there’s never been a time where we’ve seen it to this extent. From expanding islands to accommodate more seating, to hidden, pull-out workspace extensions, we’re seeing creative, transforming builds that maximize flexibility and functionality. While a small command centre in your kitchen might be best for every day, maybe a slide-out desk would come in handy for the days when you need a bit more space. Kitchen cabinetry is moving, sliding, extending and transforming more than we’ve ever seen it and we’re loving it. Smart design can be a huge benefit to a small kitchen, where every inch matters. Finding ways to temporarily add workspace or seating means you have more options available to you than a standard layout would offer. And for those of you who’ve got the square-footage, do we even need to talk about sculleries or hidden butler’s pantries? ## Fireplaces Comfort and beauty have been features we look for in other living spaces, but what space do you really live in quite like your kitchen? Whether you’re hosting a party, or enjoying those first sips of coffee alone while the rest of the family is still snoozing, there’s something to be said for adding something special to your day. Nothing does that better than the flicker of a flame. Upgrade that candle to a gas or electric fireplace and you’ve got ambience at the touch of a button. ![kitchen trends 2024 fabulous finishes](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Trends 2024 Fabulous Finishes - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Fashionable Finishes. Choosing the finishes and hardware for your new kitchen is much like choosing an outfit. Patterns, colours, textures and sparkle all come into play, but how you choose to use them is up to you. There’s nothing better than a blend of classic styles (for longevity) and streaks of your personality to create a look that’s completely unique to you and your home. Gone are the days of designing to a central theme, instead we’re seeing customers taking the best and most beautiful aspects they love and blending them into their own perfect space. While blues are holding strong, we’re also seeing a lot more green—everything from a deep, rich spruce to paler tones. Wood grains are making a resurgence, with oak coming back in a big way. Now this isn’t your grandmother’s oak, with it’s deep, rich stains and traditional profiles. Today’s oak is best featured on simple cabinet profiles (think slabs or skinny shakers) with muted natural stains that pair well in a mixed-finish kitchen. On the topic of mixed finishes, we’re not seeing that [kitchen trend](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-trends-for-2025/) disappear any time soon, and we’re on board for turning it into a classic. Monochromatic kitchens have had their time, and the visual impact of thoughtfully using multiple finishes in a kitchen space just can’t be matched. Beyond the visual, the practical aspects of using different finishes in different areas can’t be overlooked. Some finishes are more resistant to damage (or easier to maintain) and can be utilized on high-use areas, while more delicate finishes can add beauty and depth in other areas that won’t see as much wear. ## Inset Cabinetry This one isn’t trending yet, but we definitely think it should be. Very popular in other countries, inset cabinet doors haven’t hit their stride in Canada yet, but they offer a beautiful, classic look. If you’re the type of person who likes to see clean lines, simple detail and attention to the craft of woodworking, this style of cabinet is for you. The doors and cabinet frames are built so the door is flush with the frames, giving it a luxury touch that only custom cabinetry can provide. ![kitchen trends 2024 inset cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Trends 2024 Inset Cabinets - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Technology Tech will make the list of yearly kitchen trends until humanity runs out of ideas. Everywhere you look there are new technologies designed to make our lives easier, more exciting, and more connected. Whether you’re controlling or monitoring your home appliances from a mobile app, programming lighting to suit different moods, outfitting your home with integrated sound systems, building in charging stations, automatically brewing your morning coffee or using a grow station for freshly grown herbs, tech is all over the kitchen. ![kitchen trends 2024 integrated range hoods](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTg0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMTg0IDE0NTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Kitchen Trends 2024 Integrated Range Hoods - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Statement or Integrated Range Hoods We love the classic stainless range hood, but people are being more creative when it comes to the look of these necessary features. Whether you’re building an integrated hood that blends seamlessly with your cabinetry, or a statement piece to mix up the design, there are so many options to add some heat above your cooktop. ## Matching slab stone backsplashes Tile will always be a beautiful backsplash choice, but we’re seeing more people opt for the clean and simple stone backsplash. Using the stone that matches your countertop offers a polished and look that nothing else can match. Take it one better and hide your outlets so nothing gets in the way of a sleek, uninterrupted finish.

We’ve heard the advice: keep it neutral, don’t do anything out of the ordinary. No one will buy your home if there’s anything but white on the walls. ALWAYS consider the next owner of your house before making any interior design decisions. How did we come to the conclusion that the place we live should feel temporary? That we should be putting as much (or more) thought into what someone else might think when we make decisions about renovating our spaces. Now, understandably, it’s possible that you’re planning a move, and in that case you should absolutely be considering how to get the most value out of your investment. Creating a blank slate can help others imagine themselves at home in a space that doesn’t yet belong to them… …but no one should live in a blank slate because someone somewhere in the future might prefer it that way. ![personal style](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Personal Style - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") *“a house is so much more than a mere shelter, it should lift us emotionally and spiritually”* *-John Saladino* Your home is your sanctuary. It’s the place you go to be yourself, to unwind your mind from a day of filling someone else’s needs. Your home should inspire you. The people in it and the things you surround yourself with are important pieces of who you are and where you come from. There is no one like you and your home should reflect that. We offer interior design and build custom spaces, and even we sometimes fall prey to designing for the masses over designing for the individual, so what are some ways you can break out the everyday, and truly create something extraordinary? ![personal style in design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Personal Style In Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") *“The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”* *-David Hicks* ## Don’t be afraid of colour Interior designer Ruthie Sommers said “Colour is the least expensive thing to put in a house”, and she’s right. It doesn’t cost much to paint your walls, or fill your home with wallpapers and fabrics. Guess what? Green cabinets don’t cost any more than white ones. Now, as a custom cabinetry shop, we realize this statement might stir up some controversy. We build cabinets that are made to last decades, but if we’re being completely honest, the only colour that is immune to the constant flux that is “the current style”… is white. White kitchens are lovely. They’re classic. We sell more white cabinets than any other colour, and if style longevity is important to you, then definitely choose white for those expensive renovation pieces. ![interior design style](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjg4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDY4OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Interior Design Style - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Colours come and go, woods and stains fade in and out of style (and some never come back again). If you don’t want white… then choose any colour you love, because no matter what you choose, it won’t be “in” for long (if it was ever “in” at all). Only a few short years ago everything was grey. Cabinets were grey, walls were grey, everyone was using the laminate plank flooring in various shades of grey. Every [home renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/home-renovation-faq/) show on TV was all about the benefits of grey. People chose grey, not because they loved it, but because they were told it was the right decision. “Grey will modernize your space!”, “Buyers love grey!” It wasn’t that long ago, but still, grey is gone. Warmer natural wood tones are back and the greys have all but disappeared. The point of this story is not to dissuade you from using grey, it’s to highlight that it’s more important to invite the colours you love into your home than it is to be current and on trend. This doesn’t mean you can’t use neutral colours, or that you have to be wild and colourful, just find the ones that speak to you and make you feel at home. It can feel easier to choose neutrals because they’re more socially accepted, but maybe it’s worth taking a detour. The longevity of your choices are directly related to how much you love them. ![unique interior design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Unique Interior Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Say no to “decorating” and yes to “curating” *“A room should start a conversation before people actually start exchanging words” – Barry Dixon* We get it, that big piece of art at Homesense is the right colour and it’s a great price for how big it is (and we’re supposed to have big art, right?), but does it make you feel anything? When you look at it, does it inspire you? Does it evoke memories of anything at all? When you invite someone into your home, does it start a conversation or tell them something about you? Sometimes we get confused about the things we own. We collect things we love, and puzzle over how to store them in organized cabinets and closets, and simultaneously cover our walls with generic artwork that means nothing to us. In a few years, we’ll tire of it and replace it with something else that momentarily strikes our fancy. Two problems can be solved with one flip of your mindset. Using the things you collect as part of your decor creates a space that is unique, personal and beautiful. ![design your home](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Design Your Home - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Even if you don’t “collect” anything, everyone has items they cherish. Whether that’s memories of travel (photographs or souvenirs), linens that have been handed down from your grandmother, or artwork that actually spoke to you… curating and displaying items that are special to you gives your home a flavour no one else can replicate. *“Your home should feel collected, not decorated”* (Albert Hadley), so spend less time shopping and more time being inspired to find ways to use the things you hold dear. ## Start small No one says you have to tear it all down and start again ([though we’re here for you when that time comes](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/customer-care/)), but start somewhere. Change your thinking. Try something new. Find a way to display something you love. As you slowly bring pieces of yourself into the forefront of your home, you might just realize how much you like it. Try something bold. Add a splash of colour you love and see what happens. Take inspiration from one of those interior design images you gravitate to, and find ways to bring that flavour into your home. Paint an old piece of furniture, add a patterned wallpaper to a wall or two. You can make a big difference in a few hours with a small budget, and it will give you a chance to explore your own unique style. ![renovation interior style](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Renovation Interior Style - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Take courage and jump. It takes confidence to do something outside the norm, and we’ll never tell you otherwise. It takes courage to be yourself. If you want to go big, we’re ready to go big with you. We can help you break through walls (literally and figuratively) and build that home you’ve been dreaming of. We can help you take the things that inspire you and pull the pieces together into a space that makes you feel like you’ve finally come home. Your space. What does that space look like for you? Colourful? Moody? Comforting and nostalgic? Zen? Minimalist? Boho? A single style or a personalized blend? It can seem scary to open yourself up like that. To show yourself to the people you invite in, but we’d wager that it’s worth it. ![custom renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") “It is better to fail in originality than succeed in imitation” – Herman Melville You have permission to deviate. You don’t have to fit into a mold. You are allowed to be unique and enjoy the ways you’re different. [What interior images do you gravitate to?](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/) When you’re scrolling[ Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.ca/GatewayKitchens/) or [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/gatewaycabinets/), or flipping through a magazine, what spaces take your breath away? Take note of them. Maybe those spaces are the place to start. We want to start a trend. A trend where we stop trying to design our homes to be “right”… to look like everyone else’s, to feel impersonal and sanitized and perfect. Instead, let’s embrace what makes us each unique… our creativity, our hopes and dreams and memories. Let’s build homes that envelop us, inspire us, and project who we are to everyone we invite inside. Let your house be your story. Don’t just hold it for the next person. *At Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we build custom spaces [designed for you](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/).

We’ve renovated a lot of bathrooms over the 40 years we’ve been in business and we’ve heard all the questions. We’re always happy to share our expertise so in order to help you as you research, we’ve compiled a collection of some of our most commonly-asked questions. If we’ve missed your most pressing question, [reach out](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/) and we’ll do what we can to help! ## How much should I spend on a bathroom remodel? Bathroom renovation costs can vary a lot, but generally, the more you spend (on quality upgrades) the more valuable your bathroom will be. When deciding how much to spend, take into account real estate values in your area, your financial situation and your goals for the bathroom. In general a complete renovation of a small bathroom starts at about $15,000 and goes up from there, depending on size, chosen materials and complexity. ## Should I replace a bathtub with a shower? The decision to replace a bathtub with a shower can be a difficult one, and (depending on the situation) can have different answers. Walk-in showers are chic if you have the space for them, while a deep, luxurious soaker tub in the space could have significant value too. While some prefer to keep at least one bathtub in a home to make it easier and safer for small children or the elderly, in most cases a great shower is going to come out on top. ![bathroom reno faq](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Bathroom Reno Faq - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Can I renovate my bathroom for $5000? The answer to this depends on how you define “renovate”. With a $5000 budget, the best you can hope for in a standard 3-piece bathroom is a fairly cosmetic renovation which likely wouldn’t include many of your major pieces. Somewhere around half of the cost of a bathroom renovation is going to go to trades and labour, so doing it yourself would make this budget go much further. Once you start including skilled trades, they will eat away at your budget quite a bit. You could replace your minor fixtures (sink, faucet and toilet) with a small budget and not too much know-how, but if your plans include a bathtub or shower (especially if you start involving tile), a $5000 budget won’t go very far. For a small room, bathrooms are complicated rooms and with the amount of moisture you can expect, making sure everything is done properly is important. ## What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel? Depending on the plan, the most expensive part of a bathroom renovation is either the plumbing or the tile. If your plumbing is dated, needs some repair or you want to change the layout of your bathroom, the waterworks will add up. Tile is also an expensive option, but there are few things that increase the value of your bathroom quite like a perfectly tiled walk-in shower. ## What adds the most value to a bathroom? Our top three choices to add value to a bathroom include a walk-in tiled shower (upgrading to a steam shower or rain showerhead make it even better), upgrading bathroom storage to maximize space and functionality, and a great multi-layer (and flattering) lighting plan. ![bath reno winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Bath Reno Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom bathroom reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Bathroom Reno - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## What is the best tile for a shower? The tile you love best is always the right choice, but some other factors are good to consider: 1. Glazed tile is slippery, so avoid it on the floor for safety reasons. 2. Grout is the most difficult part of tilework to clean, choosing large tile minimizes the grout area and makes your space easier to keep neat. Choosing a dark grout colour can help too. 3. Light coloured tile can show dirt more quickly and dark coloured tile is susceptible to water spots if you have a high mineral content in your water. 4. Choose tile that is waterproof. Seems obvious but there are more unsuitable tiles than you’d think and water damage is never fun to deal with later. ## Does a double vanity add value? Any added fixtures in a bathroom add value to the space, provided they’re done well and you have the space to accommodate them. Double vanities mean more storage, more counterspace and less waiting for a sink or mirror if there are multiple people that live in your home. ## How can I reduce the cost of a new bathroom? 1. Keep all the fixtures, both plumbing and electrical in the same spots 2. Make smart choices when selecting materials and fixtures to use 3. If you have the skills, do some of the work yourself (labour accounts for about half the cost) 4. Shop the sales for tile and fixtures. 5. Keep it simple. It doesn’t have to be complicated to be chic. ## Should I replace my toilet when renovating by bathroom? Yes. Just do it. Toilets aren’t that expensive in the grand scheme of things and even if it’s in ok shape, a fresh new one will always be better. ![bathroom vanities winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Bathroom Vanities Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![winnipeg bathroom renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Bathroom Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Is it cheaper to replace or resurface a bathtub? It’s definitely cheaper to resurface a bathtub, however, most resurfacing products don’t hold up as long as the original finish, so if you’re hoping for long term results, it’s best to bite the bullet and replace (especially if you’re also renovating the rest of your space). ## What’s the most common colour for a bathroom vanity? White. By a lot. However, interestingly, according to studies, choosing blue makes buyers think the bathroom has a higher value. ## What is the best countertop for a bathroom vanity? It’s very rare that we make bathroom vanities using anything other than stone. Stone (whether quartz, granite, marble or porcelain) is waterproof, easy to clean and sanitize, extremely durable and will last longer than just about anything else in your bathroom. ## Should I use light or dark grout? Light grout is typically hardest to keep looking clean. Even when properly sealed, grout can slowly stain over time. In most circumstances we recommend a darker grout (especially on floors) to both add detail and contrast and hide stains. ## Which is better for a vanity, doors or drawers? Considering you access most of your bathroom products from a standing position, drawers are easier to see, access and keep tidy. Drawers do come with a higher pricetag, but for a bathroom vanity it’s definitely worth the investment. ![bathroom renovation faq](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Bathroom Renovation Faq - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## What is the hardest part of a bathroom renovation? Living without a bathroom would probably top the list, especially if you don’t have more than one in your home. Other challenges can include plumbing surprises (something no one ever wants to find), rot from moisture damage in your walls, and a layout that isn’t ideal (and the lengths you’ll need to go to to fix it). ## Can you use the toilet during a bathroom renovation? If we’re [renovating a home](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/home-renovation-faq/) that has only one bathroom, we do everything we can to keep the toilet installed for as much of it as possible, but you should know, the doors generally come off the bathroom pretty early. In most cases we only need a few days with the toilet out of the way (mainly depending on your flooring and wall choices), so you might want to stay with friends or family for that part. ## Can I renovate my bathroom cheaply? Yes and no, If your bathroom only needs some cosmetic updates like a fresh coat of paint, some new hardware or fixtures, you can definitely make a big difference with a pretty small budget. If you want to make any layout changes, replace major fixtures (think bathtubs and showers), or give your bathroom a full makeover it’s very unlikely that you could do it inexpensively. That said, bathrooms are one of the renovations that increase the value of your home, so you won’t lose out on any investment you make. ![bathroom reno questions](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Bathroom Reno Questions - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## What is the life expectancy of a bathroom renovation? On average a bathroom can be expected to last well for 7-10 years. While that seems short, you should take into account that there are a great many bathrooms that aren’t build well enough to withstand the demands put on them every day. Nothing degrades a home as quickly as humidity or moisture and bathrooms have that in spades. We build bathrooms to outlast your expectations, and focus on buiding to the conditions with high-quality products. We hope these answers helped you start forming a plan to renovate your bathroom, or at least got you closer to understanding the process and what a good bathroom renovation entails.

What could be better than skipping town while your home is taken apart, avoiding the need to use the words “temporary bathroom” at all. In this post we’ll discuss the benefits and downsides of renovating while you’re away from home and also some important things to consider before taking the leap. Renovations, especially major multi-room renovations, are extremely disruptive to a home. We have renovated entire homes at once, and we specialize in [kitchens](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-kitchen-gallery/) and [bathrooms](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-bathrooms/), so we know that neither of those spaces are easy to live without for long. While it’s possible to renovate multiple spaces in smaller, more manageable pieces, it’s generally cheaper and more efficient in the long run to do them all at once. That’s not always the practical choice when you’re living in your home. So what if you weren’t living in your home at the moment? What are the benefits of renovating while on vacation? ![vacation renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTUyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU1MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Vacation Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Renovating while on vacation benefit: Fewer Disruptions There is no more peaceful way to renovate than doing it while on vacation. You avoid the [dust, the noise, the mess and the constant interruptions to your life](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/what-to-expect-renovations/). Anyone who has spent even hours without water or electricity knows how frustrating and draining the process can be. When renovating, these sorts of disruptions can happen frequently (often over the course of months) and it can feel like you can’t get anything done or have a moment of peace. Renovation stress can be difficult to manage for even the best of us, and if you have the right personality type to do it, walking away could be a gamechanger (we’ll get to personality types in a minute, keep reading) ![renovation and vacations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTIxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUyMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Renovation And Vacations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Vacation renovation benefit: Increased Safety for Your Family If you have small kids or elderly people in the home (or even some furry family members), going away during a renovation is the safer bet. We are always vigilant about safety on the job site, but the reality is that there are extra people, power tools working, large and heavy items being moved in and out, and lots of materials that can pose a risk to people in the home. ## Renovating while away benefit: Scheduling flexibility Admittedly this is partially a benefit to us, but renovating while on vacation does help your project move more efficiently. If the home is uninhabited, we can schedule each step closer together and use all the available working hours. Without conflicting schedules to worry about, our trades can speed ahead and make quick progress. When we’re renovating with people at home, we also need to ensure that certain facilities are available as much as possible (say, leaving a toilet available while a bathroom is being renovated, or shutting off water and electrical for shorter times to ensure you have access when you need it most). If we eliminate those conflicts, there is time saved that can be used to finish other things. That all sounds pretty good, but there are downsides too, so let’s explore those: ![renovation while on vacation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Renovation While On Vacation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Renovating while on vacation downside: Potential Security Risks While we respect your home and take your security very seriously, we recognize that we are not the only game in town. We would never recommend that anyone renovate while on vacation if they are not working with a highly trusted renovator who carefully vets all members of their team. Major renovations generally rely on a lot of sub-contractors (smaller contractors who specialize in certain aspects of the renovation, like electricians, plumbers and tilers.) and anyone let into your house should also be a trusted professional. At Gateway, we’ve been working with many of our contractors for a long time, (some for decades) and we trust them with our renovations and with your home. That said, the Winnipeg renovation industry changes frequently, and it’s important that if you’re going to leave your home for a renovation that you carefully choose your renovator and make sure you are confident in their choice of sub-contractors too. ![kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTE0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUxNCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Vacation renovation downside: Difficulty Staying Connected There is a TON of communication that happens during a renovation. With smart planning most of the decisions and details can be worked out ahead of time, but there is often something that comes up that needs attention. If you’re renovating while on vacation, being able to check in with us and being available if needed are important points to remember. If we find an unexpected issue when we open up your walls, we’ll need to talk to someone to figure out the next steps. Now, if there is someone locally that you trust to make those decisions and you can designate a spokesperson for yourself, that’s great too! If not, make sure we have a way to contact you if necessary. Before you decide to embark on a distance renovation, we do recommend that you have a heart to heart with yourself. Not everyone is made to be able to step away, and we recognize how difficult it can be to separate your renovation and your vacation. If you are the type of person who needs to stay constantly connected, watch the process and be involved, it’s entirely possible you’re not going to enjoy yourself on your vacation. Now that doesn’t mean you need to stay in the home if you’d rather not live in the mess… but maybe skip the Bahamas and opt for a local staycation, stay with family or friends, or spend some time at a cottage somewhere nearby. If you stay somewhere easy enough to come and go, you might find the best of both worlds. ![bathroom renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Bathroom Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Practical rundown: So what are the most important things that we recommend you do if you’re considering renovating while on vacation: - Make sure you’re emotionally prepared to step away so you can enjoy your time rather than worry about what’s going on at home. - Find a renovator you trust completely - Plan, plan, plan. Finalize your design and all your finish choices. [Talk through everything with your designer](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) so everyone knows what’s going to happen and when. - Make an emergency contact list, numbers or email addresses you can be reached at if needed and/or a local contact who you trust to make decisions for you. - Get familiar with your personal [Gateway Live Calendar](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/customer-care/). You can stay up to date and know what’s happening in your house every day as the project progresses. - Double check all the practical needs. Make sure your water shutoffs work and that there is room in your electrical panel. Share alarm codes and have us set you up with a lock box for access. - Enjoy yourself. That’s what all the planning was for, so have some fun and let us handle the mess. ![vacation reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTM5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUzOSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Vacation Reno - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") If you’re considering a major renovation and you’d like to skip town for the messy parts, talk to us!

It’s your home. You’ve lived in it for a while and the idea of moving to a new place purely for added accessibility can be a difficult thought. But what if you didn’t have to? What if there were renovations you could do to give yourself (or a senior sharing your home) some added safety and security while remaining in a familiar space for as long as possible? Depending on your situation, you may only need minor tweaks to a home to add sufficient accessibility, but other homes may need more work to give you the features you need. Statistics show that by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be over the age of 60, and nearly 90% of those would prefer to stay in their current homes as long as possible. Your needs and living situations change as you age, and whether you’re already seeing signs of this or just preparing for the future (or for a loved one), it’s more likely you’ll be able to stay in your home if you start making beneficial changes sooner than later. ![kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") While it can be difficult to adapt to your home to improve accessibility, our goal is not to make your home feel like a care home, but rather source tools and finishes that maintain the beauty and character of your home, while giving you the features you’ll need to successfully stay there for as long as you can. In this article, we’ll look at different rooms of your home, areas you might need to adapt to your personal requirements, and give you practical tips to help you renovate in a way that suits your needs and budget. ## Accessibility and Manoeuvrability in the Bathroom Bathrooms are one of the first and most important areas to focus on when considering an age-in-place renovation. Not only are bathrooms often too small (especially in older homes) to accommodate accessibility tools like walkers or wheelchairs, they also have a higher potential to be slippery, and slippery surfaces heighten the risk of falls. ![bathroom renovation accessible curbless shower](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Bathroom Renovation Accessible Curbless Shower - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### Bathroom limitations and layouts If you have the space to make your bathroom larger (perhaps by repurposing some space from an unused bedroom?) you’ll not only make your space more accessible, but also increase the value of the space. Bigger bathrooms are a selling feature that many homebuyers are looking for, so taking on that type of renovation can benefit you in the short and long term. If you already have sufficient space in your bathroom, or decide to enlarge your existing space, the next aspect to look at is the layout. How easy is it to move around in the space? Is enough storage accessible and convenient? Is the doorway wide enough? Take a good look at the fixtures you want to include, like an accessible bathtub or a curbless shower (with or without a built-in bench seat). Find a toilet that is stable and easy to get up from, and faucets that are beautiful, but easy to grip and use. Adding strong and secure grab bars in strategic places (near the toilet and bath/shower area) will give you extra help if balance or stability is an issue. Once you settle on a functional layout it’s time to look at finishes and fixtures. For flooring, it’s ideal to find something as flat as possible that can also minimize the potential for slipping, even when wet. Tile floors can be slippery and grout lines can be tough to navigate with wheels or canes, but that doesn’t mean you need to settle for something you don’t like. There are tons of flooring options available and we can help you find a flooring that will be both safe and beautiful. If you love tile, using some on the walls can be just what you need to give your space the look you want. Stone countertops are easy to clean and highly durable, and [carefully chosen cabinet](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/cabinet-care-and-maintenance/) pulls can be the perfect finishing touch as well as being easy to grip and use. Check out our [Bathroom Gallery](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-bathrooms/) to get inspired! ![open spaces for an accessible kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Open Spaces For An Accessible Kitchen - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Safety and Functionality in the Kitchen When looking at the kitchen through an aging-in-place lens, there are some simple and more complicated changes one can make to make the space more accessible and safe. ### Accessible Storage Options Accessible storage can be as simple as rearranging the cabinet contents to ensure the most-used items are within reach without needing to stretch or crouch. A good rule of thumb is to put the dishes, tools, and pantry supplies you or your loved one will use most often somewhere between eye-level and knee-level. Modern kitchens tend to maximize storage, meaning there are often added storage areas both high and low that would be less accessible for anyone with balance or mobility issues. ![pull out spice rack accessible cabinetry](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Pull Out Spice Rack Accessible Cabinetry - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![pull out racks for accessible cabintery](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Pull Out Racks For Accessible Cabintery - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") If you’re looking to make more permanent changes, there are options available that would help give access to some of those areas. For lower cabinets, making use of the myriad of pull-outs available is a great plan. Even those hard-to-access corner cabinets can be made more accessible by adding a lazy susan, or a pull-out rack. Using drawers in base cabinetry means you can see into and access everything in them from a standing position, rather than needing to bend to see inside. Deep pantry cabinets can be fitted with pull-out shelves reducing the need to reach or move things around to find items at the back. Cabinetmakers (Gateway included) generally allow 18 inches of space between the countertop surface and the bottom of the upper cabinets, but depending on your space, there’s no reason many of those cabinets couldn’t be lower. With the exception of cabinets above cooktops (where building and fire codes come into play) cabinets can be lowered all the way down to countertop height if you choose. This allows for more storage space within the “eye-level to knee-level” zone. Provided you have sufficient prep space, and room for appliances that you may want on the countertop, a reduced height for upper cabinets could be a smart choice. If a complete overhaul of your upper cabinets isn’t a possibility and you’d still like better access, or you have higher shelves you’d also need access to, [pull-down racks like this one](https://www.homedepot.ca/product/rev-a-shelf-17-lbs-capacity-pull-down-shelving-system-gray-and-chrome/1001629969?eid=PS_GOOGLE_D00_Corporate_GGL_Shopping_All-Products_All%20Products__PRODUCT_GROUP_pla-298142006631&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmt24BhDPARIsAJFYKk2zs9h6W8Algd_8A6R96aYzsiv96Ma3t19Dk7u6QsLuNQzassRZJaUaAtT_EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) can be a useful modification to existing cabinetry. ### Illuminate the workspace Added task lighting can improve safety in the kitchen and make the space more accessible for people with vision impairments. Under-cabinet lighting illuminates countertops that are otherwise often in shadows because of standard overhead lighting. Ensuring a brightly-lit workspace can minimize accidents. ![custom cabinets and kitchen reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Cabinets And Kitchen Reno - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### Embrace extra space Most modern [kitchen designers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) recommend at least 3 feet, or 36 inches of walkway space between perimeter cabinets and any islands in a kitchen, but depending on your situation, adding a bit extra can help with manoeuvrability, especially if you generally have multiple people using the space at the same time. Creating a wider walkway means you’ll have more room to get around open dishwasher, cabinet or oven doors, or just pass other people who are also using the kitchen. Sometimes the temptation to squeeze more features into a kitchen can result in reduced open space, so take a good look at what you actually need to ensure you have enough room to move around in any possible situation. ### Choose appliances for accessibility and safety There are a lot of appliances on the market that cater to added safety and accessibility in the kitchen, some that may seem obvious and others that might be worth seeking out. [Side-by side refrigerators](https://www.coastappliances.ca/products/frigidaire-gallery-36-2-inch-22-3-cu-ft-side-by-side-refrigerator-in-stainless-grsc2352af) are a good choice to be able to access both the fridge and freezer without needing to bend or reach, and a [drawer-style dishwasher](https://www.coastappliances.ca/products/fisher-paykel-43-dba-dish-drawer-dishwasher-in-stainless-dd24dax9-n) (or even just installing a standard dishwasher on a raised platform) can make loading and unloading dishes significantly easier. ![accessible appliances for kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Accessible Appliances For Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") When it comes to cooking, technology has improved with added features for cooking surfaces that can help make them safer. Many flat-topped glass cooktops come equipped with a panel lock to disable access to heating surfaces. This feature can be helpful if you have either children or members of your household who suffer from memory lapses or dementia. If you’re looking to adapt a home for an elderly parent or relative, [this Bosch cooktop](https://www.bosch-home.ca/en/product/cooking-baking/induction-electric-cooktops/induction-cooktops/NIT8060UC) is also wifi-enabled and using their HomeConnect app, you can remotely monitor the cooktop and receive safety notifications in case it was inadvertently left on. Wall ovens are a good choice because they can be mounted at a height that best suits you, and if mounted at a similar height to the countertop, hot or heavy items can be moved more easily than bending and lifting out of the low oven of a freestanding range. Even the smaller appliances should be evaluated when modifying your kitchen in hopes of aging-in-place. Do you have heavy mixers that are difficult to move? Adding an appliance lift for heavy appliances can keep them stowed and out of sight, but still easy to access without having to manhandle a bulky machine. ![appliance lift aging in place](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Appliance Lift Aging In Place - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Over-the-Range (or OTR) Microwaves can be very high, creating risks for scalds when removing hot food. Putting a microwave at counter level with sufficient counter space nearby to rest a hot dish is a better option. Check out our [Kitchen Gallery](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-kitchen-gallery/) to get inspired! ## Other home modifications to enable aging-in-place Beyond the kitchen and the bathroom, there are dozens of ways you can improve accessibility in your home to help you stay there as long as possible. Here are a few additional areas to look at: Make use of tech: Smart home technology can make life easier by using motion sensors or voice controls to operate lighting, control temperatures, or access necessary tools like emergency services. Swap out older-style narrow light switches to the larger modern style to make them easier to use if dexterity is diminished. Add easy-to-access lighting beside your bed. Many standard table lamps are finicky, have small switches or are difficult to turn on, especially in the dark. If faced with a nighttime medical emergency, being able to get a light on as quickly as possible is a benefit. Adding a light switch for overhead lighting near your bed can also be a good plan. Rugs, especially small accent ones, can make moving around difficult if you require a cane or a wheeled walker, and can sometimes slide out of place or be a tripping hazard, creating safety concerns. Aim for fewer rugs in the space, and for any that stay, make sure they are well-secured and unlikely to shift or curl up at the edges. Standard doorknobs can be difficult to use if dexterity becomes an issue. Look into swapping doorknobs for lever-style door pulls. Make sure your address is clearly visible from the street at all times of day in case you require emergency medical services. If your house numbers are difficult to see, opt for larger ones or add lighting to improve visibility. ![winnipeg custom cabinetry](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Custom Cabinetry - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Good lighting around staircases is important to help prevent falls. Ensure you have sufficient light at the top and bottom of the stairs with light switches easily accessible at both landings. ## Get access to all the help and resources you need: All the information on modifying your home can be overwhelming and different from person to person, and while we have a lot of information and many tools at our disposal to help you create a beautiful, functional and safe space to age in place, we aren’t health professionals. If you are considering a renovation to enable you to stay in your home as long as possible we recommend that you get a safety assessment done.

In the past, when one has looked into what was trending in home renovation, you’d find a list of the “perfect tile”, the “correct hardware to use” and the colours that would scream “NOW!”. It was generally specific advice… follow this template and you too will have a modern kitchen that everyone will envy! While we will never truly get away from specific modern trend recommendations, we’re seeing a bigger focus on [renovating kitchens as a way of expressing yourself](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/interior-design-creating-spaces-that-reflect-your-style/)… injecting personality that takes the trends and twists them, resulting in a space that is unique and intimate. Rather than looking for answers at the hardware store, we’re looking more deeply at your kitchen spaces, and understanding them to be part of the larger idea of “home”. Creating a space you truly feel at home in requires more of us than simply choosing samples and colours and moving cabinets around, but when you get it, you get it… and it’s so damn worth it. In this article we’ll take a look at what [our team at Gateway Kitchen + Bath](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) see as the kitchen trends for 2025. Some are simple, some are profound, but we can’t build anything meaningful if we can’t first spark our imagination. The following trends below are less a roadmap than a jumping-off point. We’re seeing these ideas start the conversation and evolve into tailored and personalized spaces. Which kitchen trends will resonate with you? ![2025 kitchen trend more colour](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend More Colour - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **2025 Kitchen Trends: More Colour** Whites and woods of all varieties are classics in a kitchen, and will never truly leave the space, but this year, fortune favours the bold. After many years of grey, we’re seeing homeowners bring colour back into their kitchens. Bold tile, patterns, and coloured cabinets are being used in thoughtful ways to add life and personality into kitchen spaces. Earthy neutrals, bold jewel tones and even pastels are breathing fresh life into spaces that have typically been considered best when they are “neutral”. This year Pantone released their [Colour of the Year for 2025](https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year/2025?srsltid=AfmBOoodDVvZVAYYbcxtz2_WpAypm3ln3IkEt3SYX12BDORJOr4fh1bP), showcasing “Mocha Mousse”, a warm, balanced, rich brown that evokes comfort and indulgence, chocolate and coffee. Pantone says of its choice for 2025: “*With its sophisticated, earthy elegance, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse can stand alone or serve as a versatile foundation, enhancing a wide range of palettes and applications—from minimalist to richly detailed designs—across all color-focused industries*.” This colour choice echos what we’re seeing come through in kitchen renovation, regardless of what colour you choose. Ideas of comfort, versatility, and decadence are the beginning of the conversation. Are we on track to see the [trend of “colour drenching” entering the kitchen](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-trends-of-the-future/) design chat? Don’t count it out yet! ![kitchen trend 2025 pantone colour of the year palette](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTE2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDkxNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Trend 2025 Pantone Colour Of The Year Palette - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![2025 kitchen trend pantone colour mocha mousse](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0NDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjYwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDQwIDY2MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Pantone Colour Mocha Mousse - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **2025 Kitchen Trends: Detail** It’s all in the details, and whether you prefer a minimalist look, or want to incorporate all the architectural decadence, we’re looking at our kitchens with a broader scope. Archways, panelling, and millwork details are hitting their stride as homeowners embrace the character of their homes, or attempt to add some to spice up the bland builder-styles of the last decades. We’re seeing more “range alcoves”, a common sight in European kitchens where the range and hood venting are built into an archway or niche, offering a decadent focal point for the room and practical concealed ventilation. ![2025 kitchen trend range alcoves](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Range Alcoves - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Homeowners are also adding more personal detail by focusing on unique, quality pieces as focal points. We’re seeing an interest in incorporating handmade, artisan pieces, or items that hold a deep sentimental attachment into our kitchen spaces. We’re seeing heirloom furniture, artwork, and even the natural artwork of the world around us becoming the inspiration to build a kitchen around, pointing directly to our next trend: ## **2025 Kitchen Trends: Personalization** Anyone who has been in the renovation game as long as we have, have watched the kitchen trends cycle a few times. Most kitchen designers can look at a kitchen and have a pretty good idea of when it was built, but that might not be the case forever if this trend toward personalization continues. For a long time staying “on trend” or using the “latest designs” has led to what it being termed “the sea of sameness”, and we’re seeing more and more customers break free and [create spaces that really reflect their own style](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/interior-design-creating-spaces-that-reflect-your-style/). Functionally, a well-built kitchen will ALWAYS outlast the trends. [They’re not inexpensive to change regularly](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/renovation-cost/), so if you focus on exactly what is deemed to be “in” right now, you’ll be “out” almost as quickly. Investing in the things you love and making your space a showcase of your personality rather than what happens to be trending this year is one way to ensure you’re going to continue to appreciate your kitchen renovation for years to come. ![2025 kitchen trend architectural and millwork details](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Architectural And Millwork Details - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **2025 Kitchen Trends: Comfortable eat-in spaces.** Everyone who disdains eating at the island, this is your time! We’re see a renewed desire for tables, chairs, banquettes and other comfortable spaces to gather and share a meal with the people we love. Homeowners are embracing the idea that the best interactions happen while preparing and hovering over food and drink, and are moving away from more formal dining spaces in favour of bringing the party back to the kitchen. Adding comfortable places to sit and share the space adds another layer of interaction whether you’re home with your family or entertaining. ![2025 kitchen trend comfortable eat in spaces](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Comfortable Eat In Spaces - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **2025 Kitchen Trends: Nostalgia with a twist** Many kitchens for 2025 will be built with a look toward the future with nods to the past. We’re seeing more retro influences (specifically mid-century). The sleek minimalist cabinetry of this era has found a new popularity, with plenty of warm or natural woods and deep rich colours. This isn’t the stark, empty minimalism you might be picturing, however, but rather a cozier version, mixing those clean lines with curated texture, warmth and personal detail. We’re seeing a renewed focus on hiding the clutter that tends to make the space feel busy, using hidden features, small appliance storage, and design features that make your kitchen feel like a breath of fresh air. We’re seeing more large tile or stone slab backsplashes replacing the fussy mosaics with light, open simplicity. Thin stone countertops are gaining in popularity over their heavier, thicker cousins, and the brassy gold hardware is making a comeback, tying into the mid-century vibes. ![2025 kitchen trend stone slab backsplashes and thin countertops](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Stone Slab Backsplashes And Thin Countertops - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **2025 Kitchen Trends: Extras** Just because we’re feeling more minimalist, doesn’t mean we can’t maximize in other areas. Appliances and fixtures are big this year, with many kitchens opting for thoughtful multiples. From secondary ovens, to additional sinks, fridges, dishwashers, whatever your lifestyle demands, add it in! Splitting your kitchen into zones with all the appropriate accoutrements (think coffee stations, bar areas, prep stations) has reshaped how we use our kitchens, and how we can function best with multiple people using the space for multiple tasks at the same time. ![2025 kitchen trend butlers pantries and sculleries](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Butlers Pantries And Sculleries - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![2025 kitchen trend large pantries](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Large Pantries - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **2025 Kitchen Trends: Big pantries** If you’ve got the space for it, expanding your kitchen by adding a large pantry is the dream trend for 2025. These multi-functional spaces can be called by a few different names, but generally, a “butler’s pantry” is a space for storage (either food, extra kitchen tools, small appliances etc) that help keep you organized and your main kitchen clutter free, while a scullery has more fixtures and features and can be used as a second prep and cook space. How you choose to use the space can depend on a few things, what you need it for, how much space you have to work with, and what your overall goals for your kitchen space are. If you like to keep a stocked pantry, don’t like clutter in your main kitchen space, and have some unused square footage in your home, a large pantry might be just what you’re looking for and you’re definitely not alone. The surge in popularity may be attributed to the more recent desire for a little bit of luxury, even in the everyday. Homeowners have traded extra unused bedrooms or dens that used to add value to a home, and instead are focusing on larger bathrooms, special storage features and unique ways of making their home function best for them. Most of us would rather have extra space to use rather than a guest bedroom that is rarely utilized and just takes up space. ![2025 kitchen trend range alcove](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2025 Kitchen Trend Range Alcove - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") We could probably keep going, but our goal is not to bore you with minutia. Rather, we’d like to start a conversation, inspire you to look at your home in a different way, and reinforce that the “trends” don’t mean anything if they don’t resonate with you and your home. Starting a major renovation is a big step to take, and at Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we work to make sure that when you choose to renovate, you have the support, experience, creativity and precision you need to make your ideas flourish. We strive to make your home an extension of you—personal, intimate and unique. If you’re ready to move forward on a renovation this year, we’re ready.

If you worry about being surprised by a high quote, knowing what some of the budget busters are before you go in can help you determine your must-haves, your nice-to-haves and the extras you can do without. When you’re planning a [kitchen renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-kitchen-gallery/), it’s common to gather quotes from a few different companies, and everyone has a different method of calculating the cost. At Gateway our goal is to be as accurate as possible right from the initial quote, and transparent about the details, but we still find that often people are surprised about some of the individual costs and how they add up. In this article we’ll explore some of the unexpected costs our customers have been surprised by so you can feel more confident when setting the budget for your kitchen renovation. ![setting a kitchen renovation budget](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Setting A Kitchen Renovation Budget - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Reno Budget Buster: Plumbing and electrical changes** Change is good, and when you’re starting a major renovation, it can be tempting to make changes for the sake of changes, but it’s best to be strategic about which ones you’re making so you don’t blow your budget unnecessarily. Drastically changing the layout of your appliances and fixtures can make your kitchen feel like a whole new space, and if you’re already changing the cabinetry, it’s the right time to do it, but we recommend being smart about it, especially if your budget has little wiggle room. Trade work like plumbing and electrical can add up very quickly when you understand the costs. For plumbing alone, a basic kitchen project with minimal alterations can start at $900 and go up from there, quickly reaching upwards of $2000. For electrical, costs for a kitchen renovation can range between $1000-3000. ![kitchen renovation budget busters trade costs](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODE5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgxOSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation Budget Busters Trade Costs - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![trade costs in kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjc1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDY3NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Trade Costs In Kitchen Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ***\*How do we choose which tradespeople to work with?** Great question! At Gateway value is important to us, but we also choose to balance the cost with high-calibre workmanship, reliability and integrity. We have worked with many of our tradespeople for decades and in order for us to allow anyone to enter your home under our name, we need to trust them and expect a high level of professionalism. This tends to result in a higher cost than hiring your own tradesperson, but it’s important to us that you can rely on them to respect your home, do their work precisely and keep your project on schedule.* Another point to remember when making a budget… doing less might not actually help you save money. Most tradespeople have what are called “Trade Minimums” or a minimum cost for them to come out to your jobsite. Whether the actual work you require has that value or not doesn’t matter, you’re going to end up paying the minimum. ## Kitchen Reno Budget Buster: Add-ons and Special Features We know you’ve seen them on[ Instagram reels](https://www.instagram.com/gatewaycabinets/) and we love a good storage add-on too, but added features like pull-outs, sliding shelves, appliance lifts, organizers and lazy-susans can make your kitchen renovation costs skyrocket quickly. Even though they’re hidden from view most of the time, the hardware and mechanics behind those handy gizmos can be pretty expensive, and when you start adding all of them, you’ll find your budget start to go sideways. ## Average Upcharge Costs for Cabinet Add-Ons: Pantry pullouts- $225/shelf Spice pullout – $345 Appliance Lift – $650-950 Blind corner pullouts – $700-1000 Narrow metal pantry pullouts – $1500-3000 *\*Note: we know that there are cheaper versions available for many of these items, but in our experience, many of them are flimsy, don’t move smoothly or have cheaper parts that are susceptible to breakage. At Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we stake our reputation on building cabinetry that will last for the long haul and the hardware we offer is chosen based on what we believe will give you the best overall experience and longevity.* ## **Kitchen Reno Budget Buster: Taking out a wall** Opening up a space can change the entire look and flow of your home, and is often what gets people started on a kitchen renovation in the first place. Whether you’re taking out a wall to make use of an under-utilized space (formal dining room?) or just changing the layout and footprint of your home to something that suits you better, the final results can be impressive. However, be prepared for the cost. Not all walls are created equally, and it’s rare that a wall is just a wall. Many systems that keep your home working properly are hidden inside walls—HVAC, electrical and plumbing to name the major ones. In order to remove a wall that has wires or pipes or ducts running through it, we’ll need to remove, relocate or rethink. If you’re considering removing a wall, check for outlets, heat registers, or cold-air-returns to get an idea of what systems might be hiding inside. If you can track your home’s plumbing, even better. If not, we can help! ![removing a wall kitchen renovation budget considerations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Removing A Wall Kitchen Renovation Budget Considerations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Some walls (called “load bearing walls”) are crucial for the structure of your home and help to carry the weight of the roof or any floors above. Removing a load-bearing wall generally requires that a beam is added into the ceiling to support the weight that the wall would have held. If you aren’t sure which walls in your home might be load-bearing, there is an easy trick to help you narrow it down. If you have an unfinished basement ceiling (or a suspended ceiling so you can pop out a tile), take a look at which direction the floor joists are running. Load-bearing walls would be the walls that run perpendicular to your floor joists. So if your floor joists are running from the front of your home to the back… the load bearing walls would be the major walls that go from one side to the other. As far as the cost of removing a wall goes, there are a lot of factors as we described above, but depending on the size and any utilities that need to be moved, or whether or not the wall is load-bearing, the typical cost of removing a wall can range from $1500 to $6000 ![open concept kitchen renovation budgeting](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Open Concept Kitchen Renovation Budgeting - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") There are some budget busters that are easier to pinpoint in an article like this, and others that are impossible to determine the cost of prior to starting a renovation project. When we do an initial quote, we price out every piece that will take your project from conception to completion, and that is what we present to you. Under normal circumstances, that cost will not change as the renovation progresses. Now, it’s important to note that there CAN be additional costs added during the process, some can be controlled by you and others can’t, but whenever something arises that together we weren’t expecting, we will work through it honestly and make the changes necessary to ensure that you’re happy with the outcome. The next three factors fall into this category: ## **Kitchen Reno Budget Buster: Unexpected Complications** While we do everything we can to help you predict what might be behind your walls based on our experience and the age of your home, we are still sometimes surprised (especially if there has been a prior renovation at some point). When uncovering something that does not comply with current building codes, (old wiring or plumbing) you are required to update them to bring them into compliance. We have also opened walls to discover things that could be dangerous if left as is (think water-damaged or rotting structural supports or rodent-damaged wiring that could be a fire hazard). There’s usually not much that can be done to prevent budget overruns in this area, because it’s sometimes impossible to know until you open the wall, but knowing the potential and building some room into your budget is a smart plan if you need to hold to a firm amount. If a complication does arise during your renovation our [Customer Care Team](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/customer-care/) will thoroughly and carefully discuss your options so you can come to a solution that works best. ![budgeting for a kitchen renovation spice drawer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3NTAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzUwIDUwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Budgeting For A Kitchen Renovation Spice Drawer - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Reno Budget Buster: The “while we’re at it” mentality** There is so much benefit to adding things to your renovation plan “while you’re at it” that it can sometimes be difficult to resist, especially when you’re renovating something as connected to the rest of your house as your kitchen. The overall flow of your home is such an important focus when we help you plan the design of your kitchen that it usually DOES make sense to take a hard look at some of the more continuous finishes. For example, you might want to continue new kitchen flooring into other areas of your home, or update window trim or baseboards to match the new style you have in your kitchen. Replacing an older kitchen window before you put brand new tile around it makes complete sense. While it generally works out to be cheaper in the long run to do everything at once, this can also cause a modest budget to go a little haywire. Again, doing your research and being realistic with yourself about what you’d like to accomplish are the first steps to keeping your budget under control. ![quality cabinet makers](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Quality Cabinet Makers - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Kitchen Reno Budget Buster: Changing your mind** Obviously, changing your mind mid-project is sometimes very necessary. If you see that first coat of paint go on the wall and realize you hate it, the time to change it is right away. Please don’t ever think you’ll probably grow to despise it less or that you don’t want to be a bother. The last thing we want is for you to not really like something you invested so much into. Just know that there are costs (both time and money) associated with making last minute changes, (especially if there are a lot of them). **To minimize the costs associated with changing your mind:** - Take some extra time with your finish samples. - Put paint swatches on the wall and look at them at different times of day and under multiple lighting conditions. - Take tile and flooring samples home and see how they look in your space. - Plan plan plan. Explore as many options as you can and get as close as possible to your goals before the renovation starts. - Be honest with yourself. Do you actually like what you’re choosing? Do you feel pressured in some way to choose something that isn’t your favourite, or something that might not benefit your lifestyle the way you’d like it to? - Be open and honest with us. This is your home and while we’re happy to make suggestions, please never feel like you are required to choose anything because we thought it would be a good idea. If you’re not feeling something, we’ll help you find something else!

They take all the wear and tear of daily life, and choosing the right one for you is an important step to ensuring it fulfills its duty well. There are many different options available, and each has its own set of pros and cons. Here is an overview of five of the most popular countertop materials and some things to think about as you choose. ## Countertop Option 1: Laminate Countertops You can’t write an article about custom countertops without starting with laminate. Sometimes referred to by the more common brand names Arborite or Formica, laminate countertops are likely what most of us grew up with. They’re generally inexpensive, reasonably durable and over the years have expanded from the bland-colored countertops of our youth to include a beautiful selection of colors and patterns. From stone-like patterns to fun colorful prints, laminate countertops offer a personality that’s hard to find in some of the more natural-looking products. Laminate is a thin manufactured product that is glued down onto particle board to create a smooth, flat surface that’s easy to clean, resists staining and requires virtually no maintenance. Definitely not heat-resistant, extra care should be taken with hot pots and dishes on laminate surfaces so you don’t end up with a scorched or melted section. ##### MAIN TAKEAWAYS (TLDR) No time to read the article? Here’s a quick rundown of the pros and cons of each countertop type: ##### Laminate Countertops Laminate is very durable and the least expensive option. It comes in many colours and styles. However, laminate can chip, shouldn’t be cut on directly, and is not heat resistant at all. ##### Stone Countertops Stone countertops are generally the most expensive option, but are custom-fabricated to fit in even unusually shapes spaces. They are highly durable, though can chip at the edges and depending on the type chosen can scorch or discolour with high heat. ##### Butcherblock Countertops The best option for cutting on directly (as they are safe on knives and naturally anti-microbial), wood countertops do require regular maintenance to stay beautiful long term. ##### Tile Countertops Generally inexpensive and easier than other types to DIY, tile countertops can be difficult to keep clean as bacteria can hide in the ridges and grout can stain. ##### Concrete Countertops Concrete is durable, infinitely customizable, and easier to DIY than other types, though can be prone to cracking or staining (even water can permanently stain concrete). ![laminate countertop samples](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTkxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU5MSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Laminate Countertop Samples - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Countertop Option 2: Stone Countertops Stone countertops have surged in popularity over the last 20 years or so, and have made a name for themselves due to their durability, heat resistance and beauty. With many different varieties, not all stone is created equal, but they do share some common characteristics. Natural stone, like granite, marble, and quartzite are cut in quarries, polished, and then cut to shape from giant slabs. Each piece is unique and natural veins and variations are part of the charm. Because these are natural products, there is always the potential for weak spots and natural flaws, but a reputable dealer will inspect natural stone carefully to ensure those areas are avoided during fabrication. Manufactured products like quartz and porcelain are made to be consistent from slab to slab and come in many colors and styles. ![stone countertops for custom kitchens](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Stone Countertops For Custom Kitchens - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Regardless of which type you choose, stone surfaces are easy to clean and require minimal care. They can be fabricated with many different edge profiles and (depending on your kitchen) can often be cut to be seamless. If you tend to be a butterfingers, be aware, breakables won’t survive a drop onto a stone countertop, so be extra careful with your cherished dishes. Stone is one of the most expensive options, but if you’re looking for smaller pieces it’s worth asking about remnants. Remnants are pieces that are leftover from other jobs and are portions of the full slab. They are often cheaper to purchase and have cut to size. ![stone countertop samples for custom renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxOTU3IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyNDUiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxOTU3IDEyNDUiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Stone Countertop Samples For Custom Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") For more information on care and the differences between the types of stone, [check out this article](https://www.solidstone.ca/countertop-fabrication-in-winnipeg/solid-stone-101/) from our partners at [Solid Stone Countertops](https://www.solidstone.ca/). ## Countertop Option 3: Wood/Butcherblock Countertops Calling all chefs! If you love your knives, Butcher block is something to consider, even if only for a section of your countertops. Made of solid wood, butcher block is the only countertop surface that’s safe to cut directly on without damaging or dulling your knives. Of all the countertops, this one is easily the one that requires the most care, but if properly maintained, the butcher block is water-resistant and (surprising to some) naturally antibacterial! Many years ago, when plastic cutting boards were introduced, they were branded as the more sanitary option, causing many people to throw away their wood ones, but that may have been a bad decision. A study done by the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin showed that wood cutting boards are safer than plastic ones when it comes to harboring microbes including E-Coli, listeria, and salmonella. ![butcherblock countertops](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNzQzIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjExMjAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxNzQzIDExMjAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Butcherblock Countertops - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") If you regularly use your butcher block counters as a cutting surface, you should expect some wear and tear, though, for many, this merely adds to the charm. If you find it’s wearing too much for your tastes, a light sanding and fresh oiling are all that’s usually necessary to bring it back to its best. If you think that you’ll be using your butcher block a lot, ask for “end-grain” wood. End-grain butcher blocks are made with the grain of the wood standing vertically, so what you see from the top is the ends of the boards. Making a countertop like this is the more expensive way to do it, but the grain functions in a way that it can almost heal itself back up when used as a cutting surface. For more information on butcher blocks, and some stunning examples of what they can look like, [check out this blog post](https://superiorcabinets.ca/tips-tricks/butcher-block-in-the-kitchen/) from our partners at [Superior Cabinets](https://superiorcabinets.ca/). ![wood and stone countertops](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjQyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDY0MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Wood And Stone Countertops - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Countertop Option 4: Tile Countertops Tile is generally inexpensive and when you look at the cost of butcher block, solid stone or full-slab porcelain, it can seem like a good option. It also feels somewhat less daunting to try to do yourself. While tile variety is endless, not all tile is suited to the wear and tear of countertop use and can chip or crack easily. While the tile itself is often non-porous, the same can’t be said for the grout. Grooves and texture are perfect places for bacteria to hide and grout can stain very quickly if not regularly sealed and maintained. ![tile countertops for kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTk1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MiIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDExOTUgNjYyIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Tile Countertops For Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Understanding how you typically use your countertop is an important consideration too. If you enjoy baking, you likely won’t want tile, as kneading bread or rolling out cookie dough or a pie crust won’t work well. Also, tile may not end up perfectly straight due to variations in the grout beneath or the tiles themselves, so appliances that rely on a sturdy base (mixers, blenders, food processors) may not be as secure as you’d like. ## Countertop Option 5: Concrete Countertops Another idea for the DIY crowd is Concrete. Concrete is durable, hard, and can be customized to an almost infinite degree. From color to shape, texture, and finish, everything can be created to fit your vision. With the addition of glass or stone aggregate, or built-in drainboards beside the sink, concrete can be formed (get it?) to suit almost any use or style. Before you get too excited by the possibilities, you should be aware of the downsides. Concrete is susceptible to cracking, and while cracks can be fixed, the mere fact they happened at all can cause some people grief. Staining is also possible, and while regularly sealing it with a good sealer will counteract much of it, you really need to be the type of person who likes a good patina to fully embrace concrete surfaces in your home. Even water stains can happen and you should be prepared for that. While concrete seems like a cheaper option, that is only true if you’re planning on doing it yourself. Because of the hand-made nature of concrete, your labour costs will likely be higher than other types of countertop and may negate any savings you’d hoped for. ![kitchen interior design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Interior Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") At Gateway Kitchen + Bath we’ve been building cabinets, renovating kitchens and installing countertops in Winnipeg for over 40 years.

Whether your project is small and simple or massive and extravagant, you have trusted us with your home and it’s our goal to ensure that your trust in us is warranted.

Big projects give us opportunities that small projects don’t, and interestingly the same goes the other way around.

Read here for the short answers: ##### We don't care about the size of your project. Big project, small project? Doesn’t matter to us. We collaborate on every project with the same level of care and attention. ##### We don't care about where you're starting. Your starting point is the whole reason we’re here. We don’t judge so there’s no need to feel bad about it! ##### We don't care about the trends. …as much as we care about what’s right for you. Trends are there and can be a starting point, but it’s all about what YOU love. ##### We don't care about our portfolio. We’re here for you, and to make sure that your new space is exactly what you need it to be, not to push our ideas on you or bolster our portfolios. ##### We don't care if you reject the first design. It’s a process and the first design is just a starting point. We’ll work through it with you to make it perfect. ##### We don't care about your chaos. Life is complicated, and we all have busy homes, pets, kids and everything else that brings chaos. Don’t hide it away!

Maybe it’s cluttered and inefficient so you have trouble keeping it tidy, maybe it’s so dated you haven’t wanted to entertain guests. You’ve invited us into your home and you’re feeling not-quite-up-to-snuff or even a bit vulnerable. Whatever your feelings are telling you, please know… judging you or your space is the furthest thing from our minds. We’re just happy you called. ![Kitchen Interior Design Winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Interior Design Winnipeg") ![kitchen design winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Design Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Being able to see your space and how it’s working (or not) can help interior designers immeasurably when it comes to identifying trouble spots, bad flow, storage needs and more. Fully understanding the starting point is the first step in getting to your goal, so embrace it as the first step and let’s just focus on where we’re headed, together. ## **Things we don’t care about as Interior Designers: The trends** This one seems funny to say, because of course we’re always watching the trends and looking for the next, latest or newest thing, but the truth is that those trends comprise only a small part of the thought and creativity that goes into helping you design your space. Trends will come and go so quickly that it’s impossible to catch all of them, and we’re pretty sure your goal is not to create a space in your home that will already be dated by the time you move your things back in. Home renovation, and especially [kitchens](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-kitchen-gallery/) and [bathrooms](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-bathrooms/) are big investments that can last decades if done right. It’s impossible to fully embrace every trend in that time, so it’s far more important for an [interior designer](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/home/residential-interior-design/) to build a space that’s focused on the most crucial ingredient: You. The best way to create a space for you that outlives the trends is to look for two things: classic, lasting profiles; and the things you love. If we build the bones of your home around those two things, the trends don’t matter. ![interior design for residential homes](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Interior Design For Residential Homes - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Things we don’t care about as your Interior Designer: Our Portfolio** When you’re scrolling websites or [social media](https://www.instagram.com/gatewaycabinets/), especially in the design space, it’s sometimes easy to get the impression that the work we do and the final products we showcase are there for us, and in some small ways, that’s true. We need to photograph spaces, and we need to show the world the things we can do, or no one would know about them, but our goal is not to build [our portfolios](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/) with the images we love and the styles we prefer. Our goal is to build you YOUR perfect space. The first step in our [interior design process](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/what-to-expect-renovations/) is listening, and not only listening, but truly *hearing* you. We want to understand your needs, your style, and how you hope to improve the function of your [unique household in this renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/up-a-notch-four-ideas-to-make-your-kitchen-remodel-as-unique-as-you/) process. We want to know your fears and concerns and make use of our wealth of experience to overcome them and celebrate your success with you. We love to take your ideas and bring them to life. We have succeeded in our job when you can walk into your newly renovated space and feel like you’ve finally come home, no matter what that looks like to you. ![custom design and renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Design And Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![interior design and renovation winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Interior Design And Renovation Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Things we don’t care about as Interior Designers: Whether you like the first design.** Obviously, it feels great when you love the first shot, and our goal is to listen to what you’re saying so we can get as close as possible, but design is a process. Getting a design on paper is just the first step and you shouldn’t feel bad about sending us back to the drawing board with changes. Getting your renovation right on paper is what sets the rest of the project up for success, and it’s cheaper (and less frustrating for everyone) to make changes in the design stage as opposed to while we’re standing in the middle of a construction zone. Mid-reno changes usually result in added costs and delays while we order new material or build new cabinets, so don’t hold back! Let’s get this right! ## **Things we don’t care about as your Interior Designer: How many family members are home.** It’s your home and you never have to apologize for living in it. Whether you have small kids at home, other family members working in the space or a menagerie of pets, we’re here for you and your needs. While we may have recommendations for when the renovation commences (safety is a top priority, and we take that seriously), when we’re doing [interior design](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/interior-design-creating-spaces-that-reflect-your-style/) walkthroughs, measurements and other site visits, your life in all its chaos and glory can help us determine your needs for the space. There’s no sense hiding it away. ![winnipeg custom interior design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Custom Interior Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **So, what DO we care about at Gateway Kitchen + Bath?** The answer is remarkably simple: You. You honour us by choosing us and trusting us to come into your home, your space, your sanctuary.

Thoughts on Bathroom Renovations and Budgets in Winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/renovating-your-bathroom-on-a-dime/) **Published:** February 21, 2025 **Author:** Jessica Gollub **Content:** # Renovating Your Bathroom? Thoughts on Bathroom Renovations and Budgets in Winnipeg ![bathroom renovations in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Bathroom-Renovations-in-Winnipeg.jpg "Bathroom Renovations In Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") At Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we are a full-service design and renovation company dedicated to high quality home renovations from conception to completion. While our custom renovations would not generally be considered low-budget, we’ve been in the business long enough to have some good tips and insight into ways you can keep your budget lower for a bathroom renovation. We hope these tips can help you regardless of your plans and budget and if you’re considering a more major renovation, we’re always here to help! ## Bathroom renovations can get expensive much quicker than you would expect. If you’ve done some type of home renovation project before, you may already know this. Bathrooms are the most expensive rooms in your house to renovate (by square foot), so changing that little room will add up quickly. If you’re ready to redesign your bathroom but aren’t ready to drop $50,000 on a deluxe spa retreat, don’t worry, we have good news. You don’t need to drop megabucks to transform your bathroom into a relaxing space — there are plenty of ways to [renovate your bathroom](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-bathrooms/) on a budget. If you are skilled at DIY, ready to roll up your sleeves and get a little thrifty and creative, you might even be able to swing a do-it-yourself bathroom refresh including new paint and some aesthetic changes for less than $3,000. This does, however, depend on how much you want to change. If your budget is small, then stick to cosmetic changes, like new paint or a new sink. If you are ready to invest more into your bathroom remodel, you may be able to focus on larger tasks, like adding tile, expanding your shower, or adding a window. If you’re planning something bigger than a DIY, speak with someone from our Winnipeg-based Design Team and [receive a free initial consultation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/schedule-appointment/). ![custom bathroom design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trends pampering - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") If you want to keep your bathroom renovation costs low, it might be best to focus on one item. Choose the part of your bathroom that will make the biggest difference and focus on that. It won’t feel the same as a full-scale renovation, but it can make a difference in your bathroom, especially if paired with some cheaper upgrades like a fresh coat of paint, or some new accessories. Here are a few areas where a smaller investment can make a decent impact: ## Bathroom Renovations Budget Tip 1: Swap Your Vanity Storage is something that you can never have enough of, and it’s a good first step in most bathroom renovations. Bathing and skincare products can pile up, especially if you are someone who likes to pamper themselves with at-home spa days. Most older vanities can look dated and lack easily accessible storage and are more likely to feature doors than drawers. To really get the most functional storage to keep your products and supplies organized and maximize your space, consider swapping the cabinet for something new. To save some cash, explore stock options in a size that works for your space. ![interior design and renovation winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Interior Design And Renovation Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Bathroom Reno Budget Tip 2: Update Your Hardware Updating the hardware in your bathroom is a trick to make your bathroom look newer than it actually is. It’s amazing how big a difference updating dated handles and fixtures can make to the overall feel of your space. Make your sink sparkle with a new faucet and make your cabinets look fresh and chic with updated hardware. If buying new cabinets or a new sink isn’t in your budget, then give them a quick facelift with with refreshed hardware. ## Budget Tip 3: Refinish Your Tub Instead Of Replacing It While it’s always best to replace a worn out tub, if it needs to be done and it’s not in the budget at the moment, refinishing your bathtub can squeak a little more use out of an old bathtub. Whether you opt for a drop-in liner or have someone come out to refinish your bathtub, you can get a fresh, clean update without spending too much money. Now, we can’t recommend this solution if you have more than cosmetic issues with your bathtub. Refinishing your tub won’t solve plumbing issues that could cause major damage to your home if left unaddressed. ![custom bathroom](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Bathroom - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Bathroom Renovations Tip 4: Keep Your Plumbing In Place Moving around plumbing is where bathroom renovations can begin to get more expensive. If you’re planning a more major facelift, you can cut down this added cost by keeping all your fixtures in the same places. While it can be tempting to move them around, plumbing and electrical changes add up very quickly. Keeping your fixtures where they are can also open up the option of renovating your bathroom in smaller pieces to spread out the final cost. Some other inexpensive ways to refresh a bathroom: - - Change the toilet seat and lid instead of replacing the toilet entirely - - Install a prefabricated shower instead of a tiled shower - - Replace your old shower curtain or install a new glass door These tips may fit your goals for your project and if we can help with that, we’re happy to get your bathroom renovation started. It may also be worth exploring investing a bit more in a more major renovation that accomplishes your goals for the space.

We’re pulling back the curtain on some of the high-end upgrades that make up the foundations of luxury kitchens to inspire your creativity and inform your choices, regardless of whether your next renovation has a moderate budget, or no budget at all. **Content:** # 5 Secrets of Luxury Kitchen Renovations ![custom cabinets and kitchen renovation winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzUwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDc1MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Cabinets And Kitchen Renovation Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Luxury kitchen renovations are the dream for many of us. The desire to create something exceptional out of the ordinary has a hold on us, it’s a thirst that cannot be easily quenched. That, we suppose, is probably the point. As Tom Hanks famously said; “It’s supposed to be hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it”. Ease makes things ubiquitous, and luxury is anything but. But what are the fundamental pieces of a true luxury kitchen renovation? We’re pulling back the curtain on some of the high-end upgrades that make up the foundations of luxury kitchens to inspire your creativity and inform your choices, regardless of whether your next renovation has a[ moderate budget](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-renovation-budgets-how-to-stay-on-track/), or no budget at all. ![luxury kitchen remodel](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzkyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDc5MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Luxury Kitchen Remodel - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **Luxury Kitchen Renovation Secret #1: Layered Lighting Plans** Luxury kitchens paint with light. It’s never an afterthought. [Good designers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) know that light can take a kitchen from ordinary to extraordinary and always have multiple layers in their lighting plan. There are three levels of lighting necessary in a luxury kitchen: ambient lighting (the main lighting that illuminates the whole space); task lighting (for extra lighting in the areas you need it most); and accent lighting (used to highlight features, create drama or add extra dimension to the space). Many kitchens stop at ambient lighting, perhaps bringing in an element of task lighting, but a luxury kitchen design requires all three. While the extra electrician costs associated with layering your lighting do add to the overall cost of a kitchen renovation, the value, both functionally and visually, can be integrated into updates with more modest budgets too. Beyond ambient pot lighting or a statement chandelier or beautiful pendants in key spaces, there are a few other places where adding a bit of extra light can elevate your kitchen and give it a bit more of that luxury feel: - **Under-cabinet lighting** doesn’t just look good, it makes your countertops function better. In a kitchen with only ambient light, your body standing at the counters around the perimeter of the space will cast a shadow over whatever you’re working on. Adding under-cabinet lighting creates unobstructed task-lighting for whatever you’re working on. - **Shelving or cabinet lighting** can be added to the interior of cabinets with glass doors or on the bottoms of open shelving to highlight items that are special to you, or add a pleasant glow to areas of your kitchen that might otherwise be in shadow. - **Toe-kick lighting** is less common than some of the other accent lighting, but if you’ve ever lamented turning on overhead lighting during a late-night trip to the kitchen, maybe adding a gentle glow at floor-level is just what you need. Kick it up a notch by adding motion sensors so you can rely on the added light without fumbling for a switch. ![winnipeg luxury kitchen cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTEzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUxMyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Luxury Kitchen Cabinets - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Another layer to lighting plans that is never overlooked in luxury kitchen renovations is natural lighting. Every kitchen design is better when you let the sunshine in, and luxury kitchen renovations never skimp on the windows. Beautiful windows function as part of a kitchen lighting design and decrease visual separation between the outside and inside, resulting in a space that feels bigger, brighter, and more natural. A desire for the natural is also a hallmark of luxury kitchen renovations, leading us to our second secret… ## **Luxury Kitchen Renovation Secret #2: Natural Materials** As beautiful as manufactured materials like quartz are, luxury kitchen renovations almost always forgo the common materials in favour of their more unique, natural counterparts. Natural stone like granite, marble and quartzite function as original artwork, as the grain is different in every single piece. The same can be said about the grain in a luxury wood like walnut. If you’re looking for a luxury renovation, you’ll want to take a big step back from everything mass-produced or ordinary and opt for stand-out materials you won’t find in every second house down the block. When using some of these expensive materials, the key is to use very few of them. Rather than using many different materials, luxury kitchen renovations tend to stick to a small number and use them wisely (often carrying those same materials throughout the home). Adding a backsplash in the same material as your countertops, or keeping your cabinets clean and consistent, and of course curating what you choose to display (very little, generally) is what helps pull together that high-end look. Using simple colour palettes and harmonious materials mean luxury kitchens never feel busy in spite of the amount of natural detail involved. ![winnipeg custom kitchen cabinetry](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODI4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgyOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Custom Kitchen Cabinetry - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") When you put the effort into harmony and consistency, the last thing you’ll find in any luxury kitchen renovations are disruptions to the flow, which bring us to… ## **Luxury Kitchen Renovation Secret #3: Hidden Function** When in doubt, hide it. Whether we’re talking about major appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers, or all those small appliances like microwaves, coffee makers and waffle irons, keeping all the mechanics of the kitchen out of sight is one of the hallmarks of luxury kitchen renovations. Panelled appliances are installed with panels that match the cabinetry making them all but invisible in a luxury kitchen. The only appliance that is rarely hidden (except in the case of an invisible induction cooktop built into stone countertops) is of course, the exceptionally beautiful and oversized gas range (with a statement custom range hood, of course). Taking this idea even a step further includes invisible outlets (so as not to disrupt the visual flow of all those beautiful natural materials like marble backsplashes) and also butler’s pantries or sculleries that offer secondary space for all the untidy or unsightly items that would otherwise clutter the countertops. There is luxury in simplicity. Even if you’re just hiding it from view. Now let’s talk cabinetry. Of course, no luxury kitchen renovation would be complete without… ## **Luxury Kitchen Renovation Secret #4: Custom Inset Cabinets** There is no ordinary in a luxury kitchen renovation. Nothing comes from a box that contains assembly instructions. Luxury kitchens are all-custom. Whether the price tag is the point, or whether it’s the desire for something tailored and unique to the homeowners, the value of building a custom kitchen without compromising anything can’t be expressed in dollars alone. In a truly high-end custom kitchen, building the cabinetry is as much an art as it is a science. Not only does everything need to function effortlessly with perfect engineering, it needs balance and flow, symmetry and tension to truly take your breath away. ![custom kitchen inset cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzM3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDczNyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Kitchen Inset Cabinets - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") While custom cabinets of any variety are the prime steak of a luxury kitchen renovation, inset cabinets are the béarnaise. Unnecessary perhaps? But if you’re going, why not go all the way? Inset cabinets leave no room for error, no tolerance for inattention in design or engineering. Built so each door sits flush with its frame, inset cabinets require meticulous precision and advanced craftsmanship to create a refined product, unequalled by any of their counterparts. ## **Luxury Kitchen Renovation Secret #5: The Extras** We all know that the hidden secrets are what make anything a little more desirable, so why would it be any different with a luxury kitchen renovation? Beyond the façade, high-end kitchen designs hide luxury touches that make life just a little bit sweeter. Think heated floors, custom storage, built-in wine fridges or coffee makers, integrated device charging, warming drawers, pot-fillers, workstation sinks with added features and so much more! The extras are what make the kitchen function perfectly for you and are unique to each individual. ![winnipeg luxury kitchen renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTMxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUzMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Luxury Kitchen Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") For many of us, a truly high-end luxury kitchen renovation is somewhat out of reach, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that giving up on the idea is the way to go. Bringing that feeling of luxury and abundance into a space with a smaller budget is possible, but you must first understand your limitations and make decisions accordingly. So practically, what does that mean? You may be **limited by space**. In that case, to get the unfettered simplicity of a luxury kitchen, focus on paring down what you really need, decluttering your space and finding homes for the items you can’t live without. Also, focus on simple colour palettes, use a smaller number of materials, but be intentional in the ones you pick. You don’t have all the space in the world, so make every inch count. Maybe your **budget has limitations**. You can’t afford all of the upgrades, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have any. Focus on one thing you love about the kitchen renovations you dream about and highlight that one. For example, you love the look of a clean stone countertops with a matching backsplash. Opt for a porcelain or quartz that has that veining that’s so popular with marble and keep your cabinets simple. Or splurge on that beautiful range and custom hood. Make it the focal point of your kitchen and use simpler materials and smart detail to pull it all together. Lighting doesn’t need to be excessive, but layering in clever ways can give you that luxury feel without a massive price tag. Make good use of the little details to surprise and delight your guests with your resourceful ingenuity. A small amount of extra creativity can make even a modest kitchen feel opulent. And who doesn’t need a little bit of opulence? ![luxury kitchens winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Luxury Kitchens Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") At Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we’ve been collaborating with homeowners to craft custom luxury kitchens in Winnipeg for over 40 years.

When you’re planning a project as complicated and expensive as a new kitchen or bathroom, you want to feel sure in your investments and safe with your partners, and when things feel uncertain, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. So, we’re laying it out for you. In this article, we’re going to go over many of the pieces that make up a Gateway renovation, from specific materials and labour costs, to outsourcing and purchasing. We’ll share how the tariffs and trade restrictions have affected us as a company, and everything you need to know about how the uncertainties of the current political climate might affect your project. ## **How have the Canadian tariffs affected Gateway?** In short, not very much so far. There are many reasons that are making it impossible to guess what might be coming, but we have seen only minimal cost increases and only in a few specific areas (we’ll get to those). Gateway has always been proud to be a local Winnipeg company, and we’ve been working and building in the same community for over 40 years. Most of what we produce is made locally in our shop on in East Kildonan, and installed in homes and businesses in Winnipeg, Southern Manitoba, and Western Ontario. We do our best to source as much as we can locally to both support the local economy and aim for continued sustainability. We’re watching prices and researching our options in case we need to make changes, but we’ve seen no major movement on any front yet. ![labour cost increases for renovations](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjc1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDY3NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Labour Cost Increases For Renovations - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **How have the Canadian tariffs affected the renovation industry?** The renovation industry seems to be faring better so far than other industries, even if you include similar ones like new home builders that are more impacted by lumber fluctuations, and rely on key items like shingles that are primarily imported. We looked at some of the products and materials we source regularly to see where they’re coming from and what options you have. While this isn’t an exhaustive list, it covers much of a typical renovation: ### **Lumber and specialty wood**: At Gateway, we purchase much of the wood we use in large quantities (often in a 3-6 month supply) and try to time our purchases when costs are lower (we ARE Winnipeggers to our core). This large quantity helps us get a better deal and also mitigate any ongoing supply chain uncertainty and small regular fluctuations in price. Much of the wood we use is sourced from within Canada, and some specialty wood products (like the birch we use in the construction of all our drawers) also come from overseas. Very little of the wood we use regularly is sourced from the US. While there are not currently any new restrictions on wood products, lumber has often been a source of friction between Canada and the US. That said, it’s important to remember that, as a whole, Canada exports far more lumber and wood products than we import, so if trade restrictions resulted in less wood crossing the borders, we’d be on the side with the surplus. ![tile and countertop prices tariffs](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Tile And Countertop Prices Tariffs - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### **Stone Countertops and Tile:** Most stone and tile products are mined or manufactured all over the world, very little of either come from the US, and anything that DOES, can easily be closely substituted from another supplier. ### **Plumbing Fixtures**: While our suppliers for these items are Canadian companies, many plumbing fixtures used in Canada, like sinks, toilets, bathtubs and faucets, are manufactured in the US. As of March 13, 2025, Canada has 25% import tariffs on some of these materials including sinks and baths made of steel or iron ([Check the full list here](https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2025/03/list-of-products-from-the-united-states-subject-to-25-per-cent-tariffs-effective-march-13-2025.html)). Because the plumbing industry uses a good amount of metal, tariffs may affect tubing, flex hoses and pipes as well, though we have not yet seen any noticeable price increases in this area. ![plumbing fixtures price increases tariffs](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Plumbing Fixtures Price Increases Tariffs - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### **Electrical Supplies and Fixtures**: Many light fixtures are imported into Canada from countries overseas, but there are some electrical products that are manufactured in the Unites States, though any increases we’ve seen have been minimal. That said, one of the only products Gateway directly imports into Canada from the US has seen a pricing increase due to tariffs, though it’s a very specific and specialty item. As part of our catalogue of custom-built pieces, we offer wood-clad range hoods for kitchens, using one particular brand of extractor fan inserts (sourced from California and chosen for quality, durability and other specifications). This item is subject to Canadian import tariffs and while we haven’t yet needed to factor the new amount into a project, we estimate this tax will increase the cost of a custom-built wood range hood by less than $150. ### **Major Appliances**: While we don’t supply appliances for our custom renovations (and therefore increases in this area aren’t reflected on our balance sheets), the increased cost of appliances would affect you if you’re planning a kitchen renovation, so we felt it was important to mention. Most large appliances bought and used in Canada are manufactured in and imported from the US and Canada has applied import tariffs on them. As appliances can be a major cost in a kitchen renovation ### **Labour costs**: A large portion of the cost of a renovation comes from trade labour costs, and because we’re a Canadian company and all our trusted trade partners are the same, tariffs don’t affect these costs in any way. However, there are other factors in this current economy that could affect these costs in the near future. General inflation rates, supply and demand (fewer tradespeople entering the profession while many are retiring), and even interest rates can affect the costs of doing business in Canada, with potential to increase the cost of labour over the next few years. ![range hood price increases](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Range Hood Price Increases - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **So what does this mean for you?** Making the choice to invest in a major renovation is always a complicated one, and there are many factors that can be taken into consideration, but it can be reassuring to understand that across the board, home values have remained steady and continue to increase. Investing in your home, especially one that you’ll be living in long-term, is almost always a good, stable investment. No matter what the political climate looks like, our 40 years of experience in the industry tell us that prices always trend up, so as far as costs go, there’s rarely a reason to delay if you are prepared to start. The best time to start is always now.

Our cabinetry is the product of over 40 years of experience, and is built to a high standard of quality and durability, often surpassing industry standard on multiple metrics. We also stand behind everything we build and offer a warranty that covers all Gateway-built products in the event of defect for as long as you own them. We provide full-service renovation from conception to completion with creative designers, an experienced team of project coordinators, carefully chosen tradespeople, and skilled craftspeople. Gateway kitchens are an investment in your home, and while there are many cheaper options, our work will stand the test of time. As Pierre-Alexis Dumas (heir to the Hermes empire) famously said: “It’s not expensive, it’s costly. The cost is the actual price of making an object properly with the required level of attention so that you have an object of quality”* Because every custom renovation is different, it’s impossible to provide actual numbers without showing you exactly what we’re doing. While we can give approximate ranges for things, those types of articles don’t take many aspects of a kitchen renovation into account. Instead we decided to create a full case-study to take you from start to finish and run through what it will cost you to do the same thing. Armed with before pictures, a floorplan sketch and carte blanche to create a new kitchen, our Design Team has created a series of drawings and a complete quote for a fictional renovation. This package resembles what we would present to you after your initial consultation ([still unsure how the process works? Click here for more information](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/what-to-expect-renovations/)). While there are less-expensive renovations that could also make a big difference in this kitchen for a lower cost, for this case study, we decided to make major changes to open it up and make better functional use of the space. ##### MAIN TAKEAWAYS (TLDR) No time for the whole article? Read here for the key cost breakdown of this 12’x18′ custom kitchen renovation: ##### Renovation Overview and Total Cost The total cost of this renovation was **$79,422.85** (including taxes) and consisted of removing a wall, updating electrical and lighting, overhauling all the cabinetry with new custom cabinets, new stone countertops, flooring and tile backsplash, moving appliances and adding a large island. ##### Demolition Costs Removing the existing kitchen, opening the wall, framing the opening and drywall repair came to **$5,412.93** ##### Custom Cabinetry Costs All new custom cabinetry including additional cabinets and a large island came to **$30,157.63**. Full installation including floating shelves, LED under-cabinet lighting and range hood came to an additional **$4,454.53** ##### Countertop Costs Custom-fabricated stone countertops (including templating, fabrication and installation) came to **$11,217.90** ##### Tile Backsplash Cost The tile backsplashes, including material and installation came to **$2,517.50** ##### Plumbing and Electrical Fixture Cost New plumbing and electical fixtures (sink, fauces, and recessed light fixtures) came to **$1,054.38** and **$766.70**, respectively. ##### Trade Labour Costs The trade costs came in at **$14,735.50**, which included all electrical installation and materials, plumbing installation and materials, new paint and an allowance for all flooring materials (including installation) ##### Design and Project Management Costs The cost of the design and project management from conception to completion came in at **$1950.00** ![what does a kitchen remodel cost](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "What Does A Kitchen Remodel Cost - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen renovation costs in winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Renovation Costs In Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![winnipeg renovation costs](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Renovation Costs - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## What wasn’t working in this kitchen: Functionally, at only 18’x12’, this kitchen packed as much storage as possible into a very small space, resulting in small walkways, a tiny island, and some less-than-ideal storage. There was no extra space to walk around open dishwasher, oven, or refrigerator doors, and minimal clear countertop workspace. With a separate dining room next door, the area designated for a kitchen table was mainly unused. Aesthetically, this 80’s oak kitchen resembled many of the kitchens we’re asked to update. The cabinet boxes were made of particle board and featured oak doors that had darkened into the classic orange hue of that time period. The door profiles were dated, and the white laminate countertops were chipped in areas and had lost their protective coating, resulting in a surface that was prone to staining. ![custom cabinetry winnipeg costs](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTM5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUzOSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Cabinetry Winnipeg Costs - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![home reno costs for kitchens](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTM1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDUzNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Home Reno Costs For Kitchens - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![winnipeg cost of kitchen reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTU4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU1OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Cost Of Kitchen Reno - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## What did we change? With limited space available, we decided to forgo a kitchen table, and make better use of that area, moving both the refrigerator and range to that wall and creating a new bank of cabinetry to encompass both. This allowed us to remove the cabinets from the wall where the fridge once stood, use the added width to expand the island for more functional workspace and seating, and also open up the wall between the kitchen and dining room. The cabinets would be replaced with Gateway-built, fully custom painted cabinetry with a classic shaker profile, extending them to the ceiling with functional storage, deep drawers, and a garbage/recycling pullout. To add visual interest, the island would have a stained light wood finish, echoed by the floating shelves around the range. The island would feature seating for four, deep storage drawers and a large workspace. The countertops would be updated to feature custom stone, and tiled backsplashes would accent the walls behind the sink and range areas. Electrical, plumbing, lighting, and flooring would be updated to accommodate opening the wall, moving the appliances, adding lighting fixtures, and replacing the sink and faucet. ![custom kitchen costs in winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTQxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU0MSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Kitchen Costs In Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## The actual renovation cost: Demolition (including removal of materials), wall removal (and framing out the new opening), removing the old cabinets, and all drywall repair/taping/patching came to **$5,412.93** The new custom cabinetry was the largest single expense, coming to a total of **$30,157.63** including the hardware. Full installation of the cabinets, floating shelves, LED under-cabinet strip lighting, and range hood added an additional **$4,545.53.** While countertop costs can vary depending on the chosen material, we added an average countertop allowance that would cover custom stone countertops in either quartz or granite (including custom templating, fabrication and installation), totalling **$11,217.90**. The tile backsplashes, including all materials and installation added **$2,517.50** to the total, and new plumbing and electrical fixtures (sink, faucet, and recessed light fixtures) came to **$1,054.38** and **$766.70**, respectively. Because we don’t directly employ our own electricians, plumbers, painters or flooring installers, at Gateway we have established many partnerships with contractors we trust in Winnipeg. These partners have been chosen carefully for their quality work, prompt service and understanding of our expectations. The cost of all the trade work for this kitchen totalled **$14,735.50**, which included all electrical installation and materials (wiring, new outlets) plumbing installation and materials (new plumbing lines for the dishwasher and refrigerator), new paint, and an allowance for all flooring materials including installation. ![cost of a kitchen renovation in winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTQ4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU0OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Cost Of A Kitchen Renovation In Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") The final charge on this kitchen quote is our **Design and Project Management Fee.** While we could build this fee into our totals by marking up other aspects of this kitchen renovation, we prefer to be transparent about where your money is going. The design and project management fee includes the complete design of this kitchen, (site walkthroughs and measurements, design package, and engineered CAD drawings for all cabinetry and trade requirements) as well as project management throughout the entire renovation (schedule creation and management, coordination and communication of trades and construction professionals and constant communication with the homeowner). This fee adds an additional **$1,950.00** to the total. For the complete design, demolition and renovation of this kitchen, working with the homeowner from conception to completion, the total cost of this kitchen renovation came to **$79,422.85** (including taxes, **GST: $3,617.95**, and **PST: $3,446.93**).

As you can see, this cost does not include the cost of any new major appliances the homeowner would like to integrate (refrigerator, range, dishwasher), and does not include the cost of the pendant lighting above the island (we have it listed in the quote as “customer supplied”, however their installation is included). ![cost of a new kitchen in winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTQ3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU0NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Cost Of A New Kitchen In Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") As we noted at the beginning of this article, custom kitchen renovations vary in cost, so while THIS kitchen renovation cost nearly $80,000, the renovation of this specific kitchen can vary significantly due to many choices made during the design process. We made choices in this kitchen to demonstrate a common renovation where the homeowner wanted to make significant changes, but there are many ways to update a kitchen that can reduce the overall cost. If you are looking for a quality renovation, and would like to keep your costs lower, here are some suggestions: - **Avoid moving fixtures and appliances**. There’s no secret here—whenever you move the working parts of a kitchen, the renovation cost increases. Moving appliances and fixtures require added materials and trade work that have a tendency to add up quickly. While it’s tempting to go for the big change, it’s best to think strategically about which modifications will get the best bang for your renovation dollars. Focusing on the flow and function of your kitchen space, and understanding how you personally use your kitchen will help you determine which components (if any) need to move. It’s possible you’ll be just as happy with an aesthetic update as you would be with a major rearranging. - **Pay attention to your finishes and materials**: We know you’ve been online looking for inspiration and while those incredible handmade tiles look great in that photo on Instagram, they aren’t usually advertised with the cost. It’s very easy for a total budget to spiral out of control by falling in love with specific materials without understanding the cost. Considering kitchen renovations can have half a dozen or more different materials, a small upgrade on each one can take your budget from doable to problem very quickly. - **Be honest with us about your budget:** This one can seem counterintuitive, but the reality is if you don’t tell us what your budget is, we will guess and guessing brings along a special risk. As luxury kitchen renovators, we have access to every sample and finish and hardware accessory, and while we have gotten fairly good at guessing, as we established above, the cost of materials can add up very quickly. While we know that there are lots of budget friendly options, our Design Team is also made up of talented artists, who want to build something special that they know you’ll love. The danger lies in the very real possibility that you’ll fall in love with a design that you can’t afford. It’s easy to add to a design, and a lot harder to identify things to take away once you’re already emotionally invested. Be smart, be strategic and be honest. - **Try to be decisive and stick with your choices:** Once the design process is complete and we’ve started your renovation, it’s expensive to make changes. While there are always those moments where you realize you’ve chosen the wrong material (or the real-life version doesn’t look like how you imagined it), if you need to stick to a budget be cautious about making changes mid-reno. We’re happy to make changes for you to ensure you’re happy with the finished product, but changes equal delays and added cost. If materials have been partially installed, we can’t return that material, and the time it takes to order new material can result in rescheduling all the upcoming work that can’t continue until that step is done. - **Don’t invest every penny into your design:** ALWAYS keep a bit of budget aside for unexpected complications. Unless you are the builder of your home and know every change that happened since it was built, the chances are never zero that we’ll find something we didn’t expect once the walls start opening up and demolition is complete. Building codes change over the years, and improperly-done prior renovations can expose problems you may not have been expecting that will eat into your budget. We’re responsible for ensuring that every home system we modify or expose follows the building code and can pass inspection, so we can’t overlook issues even if we didn’t create them, but we’re also going to work through every issue with you to find the best resolution. - **Do some of the work yourself:** This recommendation comes with big caveats. It only saves your budget if you already know what you’re doing AND have the capacity to plan your labour into the schedule. It takes us approximately 8-10 weeks to plan out and prepare for your kitchen renovation, and every step and detail is meticulously scheduled in the most logical progression. If you are an electrician, or you’re fully confident in your painting skills, there’s no reason you need to have us take on that part of your project as long as you estimate your time correctly and stick to the plan. If your portion of the project isn’t completed during the allotted time (we get it, life gets in the way), it can cause delays and rescheduling of other trades. While we do our best to reshuffle as efficiently as possible, we do have multiple projects on the go at any given time, so it’s unlikely you’ll finish on the same timeline as originally estimated. ![winnipeg cost of kitchen reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTU4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDU1OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Cost Of Kitchen Reno - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") While it can be tempting to look at each individual line of a renovation quote and attempt to cut costs, it’s important to note a few things: - **Trade costs can feel high** (and like something you might want to negotiate separately for yourself), but we choose our trades carefully, and have very specific and documented expectations of those we partner with. Because of the amount of steady work we offer, we can be guaranteed certain timelines, quality work and competitive pricing. While it may seem doable to negotiate a lower-priced electrician (and we will still work with you if you do), in our experience, more often than not, doing this results in delays, mistakes or lower-quality work, and the possibility of higher costs for you. Proceed with caution. - **We’re not a not-for-profit organization.** We have staff to employ, power bills to pay and costs to cover so we have everything we need to work on your project. Yes, we have markups on the materials and services we quote for you, but we run as efficiently as we can while still providing top-notch service. While writing this article, we took a look at the books for the last few years, and thought it might interest you to know that the net yearly profit of Gateway Kitchen + Bath ranged from approximately 1-5% of total billings. This profit can be invested back into the company to facilitate growth and a portion of it is shared with our employees at the end of the year. It’s a lot of work for a small return, but we love what we do. - **We believe in honest and accurate quoting.** We don’t leave costs off our quotes to compete with a lower cost and then increase them once you’re committed. This means that unless you make changes to the project mid-stream or there are unforeseen complications when we open up your walls (in both instances we’ll be open about any added costs), we do everything we can to ensure that the price we quoted you is the price you pay. ![kitchen design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![winnipeg interior designers](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Winnipeg Interior Designers - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![interior design and renovation winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Interior Design And Renovation Winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom kitchen design finished](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjE4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDYxOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Island Design Finished Space - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom bathroom reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Bathroom Reno - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![personal style in design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Personal Style In Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen interior design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Kitchen Interior Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom kitchen island with porcelain countertops and waterfall detail](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Waterfall Island - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")We're one of the few custom cabinet builders in Winnipeg that build inset cabinets, like these. ![custom interior design for a traditional white kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Interior Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")When looking for a traditional feel for a kitchen renovation, you can't go wrong with choices like shaker-style cabinets in "Cloud White" ![custom bathroom shower with tiled walls and glass door](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Custom Bathroom - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") So there you have it, the cost of a custom Gateway kitchen renovation laid out as clearly and accurately as we can.

Perhaps the wall paint is wearing off or you simply don’t like how it accentuates your interior design anymore. While your home may be in need of home renovations like upgrading plumbing, getting new kitchen appliances, or installing a hardwood floor, there are trendy and fresh home renovation ideas that will improve the overall look and feel of your home. Home renovations should always reflect your personal style and preferences, but keep reading for some ideas that you may want to see in your home!

Installing more windows in your home will boost the amount of natural light that you let into your home. There are a multitude of benefits of natural light, which include: - Improves sleep - Helps ward off seasonal depression - Reduces stress created by fluorescent lighting - Boosts vitamin D To optimize the amount of light you get through a window, place mirrors around the house, either opposite or parallel to a window, to bounce light around a room. It makes the room appear more bright while also opening it up more. Another way to optimize the amount of light in a room is to ditch any heavy curtains that prevent the sun from entering your home. Letting in more sun can help your circadian rhythm get back on track. **Add Speciality Finishes on Hardware** Specialty finishes in the kitchen or the bathroom, like opting for copper faucets, will quickly update your space and make it more modern and trendy. Speciality finishes like rose gold, brushed bronze, and brass will make any of your appliances stand out and will add to the overall complexity of the room. Add a brass frame around a mirror to accentuate it, while also tying in other colors that surround the mirror. Think about the look and the vibe you want the room you’re working on to have — opt for a sleek and minimal look with chrome black cabinet knobs, give your kitchen a glamorous look with brass hardware, or use crystal box pulls and knobs to add texture and shine to a room. The options are limitless. **Think About the Ceilings** A well-decorated home has incorporated every aspect of the home into its [interior design](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/home/residential-interior-design/). Nothing is overlooked, not even the ceilings. Ceilings, whether you notice them or not, add a great amount of character to a room, as the style, shape, height, and color can vary greatly depending on the mood of the space. While some ceilings are an architectural feat, think about the following ceiling types: - Barrel-Vaulted Ceilings – They are usually just elevated ceilings with a curvilinear slope, which opens up the entire room. - Cathedral Ceilings – Cathedral ceilings offer a more symmetrical and pointed design. They are a great way to accentuate unused attic space. - Speciality Moldings – These usually tend to be more elaborate, and may give more of a historical vibe to the room, as a lot of designs come from Victorian and Neoclassical periods. **Upgrade to Custom Cabinetry for a Variety of Uses** Custom cabinets are a great way to personalize and optimize the space you have in any given room. Try to steer away from cabinets that will not be relevant after only a few years, and think more along the lines of built-in cabinets that give you more freedom of what you put into them. From an espresso machine to office supplies, choose what you can put in your cabinet and make sure the size is easy to work with. There is nothing worse than being stuck with an oversized cabinet to fit a printer or an undersized cabinet that you used to use for electronics. **Upgrade Your Flooring** In the new year, it may be time to upgrade your flooring from carpet to hardwood. There are many well-known reasons why carpet simply isn’t the best floor choice for homes, including the facts that they reduce indoor air quality, they trap allergens, and they require regular maintenance. It may be time to install hardwood floors if you haven’t already; hardwood floors come in many different grains and colors, not to mention the fact that hardwood floors are durable, long-lasting, cost-effective, provide a timeless look to your home, and match with any of your interior design elements. **Be Bold With Your Tiling** Tiling can be a great way to draw someone’s attention around the room, pulling certain design elements, or simply standing out. Colorful and graphic tiles with strong patterns can complement accessories and change the mood of a room. However, for those who see themselves changing their tiles more often than not, then invest in small graphic accessories, like movable lighting, decorative rugs, graphic pillows, and even wall paint.

This probably doesn’t sound as exciting as you think it would, but garage doors can have a huge impact on the functionality of your home, as well as the beauty of your home. Faulty garage doors can cause flooding, threaten your home’s energy efficiency, and provide easier access inside for burglars. Replace your old and creaky garage door with a new four-section garage door, equipped with heavy-duty galvanized steel tracks. You could be looking at an ROI of 94-97%. ![home improvements](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Home-Improvements-With-the-Best-ROI-632x1024.jpg "Home Improvements With the Best ROI - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Minor Kitchen Remodel If you plan on living in your home for decades to come, going all-in on your dream kitchen makes sense.

While you may not think it is as important as the interior of your home curb appeal helps sell homes, and a fresh look to the surrounding foliage, lawn, or garden, could be exactly what your home needs to be more attractive to potential buyers. there is not much need to go overboard, as the best Landscaping designs are often the simplest. Be sure to keep the lines looking trimmed and clean, suggesting that not a lot of work needs to be done. The return on investment could be up to 100%. ![gateway kitchen + bath](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/cta-3.jpg "cta 3 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Repair Or Replace Your Roof Do not brush off roof maintenance simply because it isn’t as glamorous as other aspects of your home remodel. Your roof serves an essential function to the safety and security of your home, and keeping sound integrity will absolutely contribute towards the luck of the sale of your home. Roof repair should be happening while you still live in your home, but if you are planning on selling it, then it is imperative that you have a professional come and inspect the roof, giving you an itemized list of any necessary roof repairs that you can complete before you list your home. If anything, you can hand the list off to the buyer. If you do choose to perform any roof repair then you can expect around 68% return on investment. ## Major Or Minor Custom Bathroom Remodel It is your choice of how much to invest in your bathroom remodel, It is one of the things that help to stop.

A minor bathroom custom could give you over a hundred percent on your return on investment, while a more major bathroom remodels, which includes updating the floor plan and plumbing could give you a 93% ROI. ## Basement Remodel Not all homes are guaranteed the luxury of having a basement, but they have some kind of underground living quarters. upgrading your basement increases the usability of the living sea and also transforms itself into its own selling point.

You can get really creative with these, and when you have custom kitchen cabinet makers like the ones at Gateway Kitchen and Bath, the sky’s the limit! Ask our renovation contractors in Winnipeg about custom kitchen cabinet options, and what you envision yours to be! ![cabinet styles](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/5-Popular-Custom-Cabinet-Styles.jpg "5 Popular Custom Cabinet Styles - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Or, Go With Open Shelves Open shelving is a minimal option that creates beautiful, functional, and creative results. You can certainly still choose to keep your spices and dried goods concealed, but open shelving allows you to add items to the shelves that bring personality to the room as a whole. Try framed photos, candlesticks, and art to your stacks of plants, pots, and pans. [![kitchen renovations](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/cta-1-1.jpg "cta 1 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/)## Get Creative With Shelving If you like the concept of open shelving but want to go one step further, use a shelving unit that is sleek and stylish. A shelf perfectly displays all of your glasses, dishes, and special occasion dishware while complementing the formal look of the rest of your kitchen. ## Tile You may not see tile floors too often, but they can be an attractive option for kitchens. Tile floors may not offer the same low-maintenance as hardwood flooring or the same kind of longevity but could give your kitchen style and class. You can choose ties with patterns to give your kitchen more character, especially if you intend on playing with patterns and textures elsewhere in the kitchen. Natural stone tile can enhance your kitchen design, but this is certainly an investment that would also require further consideration. ## Let The Walls Talk You don’t have to if you don’t want to, as there is nothing wrong with a soft eggshell or off-white paint. Being bold in your colours can really make your kitchen a fun space to be in, and could give you a chance to play around with decorations and backsplashes to create a theme and pull a look together. A pale green around your kitchen could be great if you have a lot of plants in your home, or have decorations that would offer a great pop of colour, contrasting against the paint. If anything, you could always choose to add an accent wall in your kitchen for a little fancy flair. ## Use Your Surroundings As Inspiration If part of your kitchen wall has exposed brick, leave it! It adds an undone, laid-back feel to the kitchen, allowing you to embrace the original architectural details, and also giving them new life in your newly renovated kitchen. Draw inspiration from your house as a whole, and maybe even the location of the house. Use colours you can find out in the nature surrounding your home or use shades that you can find elsewhere in your home. This not only helps create a comprehensive look but can make your kitchen design appear more natural and free, however meticulously thought-out the paint might have been. ## Be Bold With Patterns Whether you want to play around with the tiles for your backsplash, or want to add patterns to your wall, cabinets, and even floors, let yourself get crazy with it. It can be chaotic, but controlled chaos can sometimes yield the best results, especially if you have the style and personality to complete it. Choose vibrant colours to make your kitchen a true work of art. Be wary of the kind of appliances and decorations you use if you choose to use loud and bright patterns, as too much could be distracting for the eye. If you do decide to go a more patterned route, then opt for decorations that are more simple, so there is some contrast that allows the eyes to rest. You can also use the tile as a translation, bridging the darker and lighter colours. This works especially well if, for example, your cabinets, hardware, and countertops are of a darker colour while your walls are a brighter shade. You don’t need the tile, as the contrast on their own will work just fine, but, again, tile is a great way to add character to your kitchen. ## Let The Light In Natural light is not only important for us, having positive effects on our mental health, but does great things for [interior design](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/home/residential-interior-design/). Natural light can open up any room, making it appear larger, more welcoming, and can emphasize the features that you put more thought into. If your kitchen is a part of your home that doesn’t get much light, then definitely consider installing windows. The kind is completely up to you, but trust us that natural light is an essential design feature that can transform your kitchen. [![renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/cta-2.jpg "cta 2 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/)## Get Creative With The Space You Have In addition to the many design elements mentioned above, it is crucial to also consider the kind of movement you want to have in your kitchen — the flow of energy — and the purpose the space will be serving. If you can, add a kitchen island that allows for clear movement around it, but also serves as a focal point for group entertainment and family meals. If you have the space for it, you may even want to consider a breakfast book in the corner of your kitchen, which is a unique feature you don’t see in many houses. **Categories:** home renovations, kitchen renovations, Kitchens --- ### [Picking your Profile: Finding the Cabinet Style that Fits You!](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/picking-your-profile-finding-the-cabinet-style-that-fits-you/) **Published:** May 19, 2021 **Author:** Jessica Gollub **Content:** Whether you’re just dipping your toe in to test the waters, or diving head-first into a new build or renovation project, the vast number of options available when you’re looking for a cabinet style can suck you in like a riptide. That online [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.ca/GatewayKitchens/_saved/) scroll can create more problems than solutions as you find yourself tempted by so many different looks. I call it “Analysis Paralysis” when it happens in my house. Too many options, too many decisions to make… so we do nothing. Kitchens and bathrooms are among the most expensive (and extensive) renovation projects the average person will undertake, and I completely understand why you just want to “get it right”… but what is “right” when there are so many beautiful things out there? Cabinetry, in a kitchen specifically, has the power to dictate the look and feel of your space, and with so many options, it’s important to find the one that suits you (and your home) best. ![custom cabinet style in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/002-1.jpg "002 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")Never fear! The vast majority of styles can be narrowed down into a few basic categories, and once you know what category you’re looking for, the options don’t seem quite as daunting. At Gateway Kitchen + Bath we categorize the multitude of styles into the following four groups: Traditional, Shaker, Slab, and Rustic. Understanding which of these categories feels right for you and your personal taste will help us guide you in the right direction as you start out on your new renovation journey. ![custom cabinets winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Banner-Traditional-1024x564.jpg "Banner Traditional - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Traditional Cabinet Style The traditional category offers the most variety and selection with a similar feel. Showcasing detailed cabinet doors with panels and molding, ornate touches and an old-world feel, traditional cabinets are timeless and classic. Because this category encompasses so many different variations, it’s easier to bring in more personal, unique touches than some of the more minimalistic styles, and tailor a kitchen that fits perfectly into the feel you’re looking for. This is especially true in older homes with rich, original woodwork and tons of character; finding a style that blends seamlessly and creates a unified look in your home is an important consideration. ![custom cabinets winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/006-1.jpg "006 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")While this category can be more susceptible to a rise and fall with the trends in style and colour (anyone still have a ‘golden oak’ kitchen?), finding a classic style, and using simple tile and countertops, traditional cabinetry can offer a beautiful backdrop for impromptu trendy swaps in the areas that are cheaper and easier to change regularly (think funky, modern throw pillows on a beautifully classic couch). Updating paint, light fixtures or faucets are an attainable DIY for most people, but you want to choose a cabinet style you’ll love for a long time. Traditional cabinets bring deep character and detail that many of the other styles shy away from. ![custom cabinets winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Banner-Shaker-1024x512.jpg "Banner Shaker - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Shaker Style Cabinets While some might consider Shaker to be a “traditional” style, this powerhouse needs its own category. Shaker is one of the most popular cabinet styles, and for good reason. With their simple design and straight lines, Shaker cabinets have a chameleon-like quality that lends themselves to a variety of different looks. Matched with concrete countertops and glass accents, you could create a very modern and even industrial look, but pair it with a white porcelain farmhouse sink and some shiplap and it blends seamlessly to a distinctly country feel. Though they are often showcased in painted finishes, Shaker cabinets also highlight the beauty of stained wood and are the perfect backdrop for bold accents like tile and unique natural stone countertops. These simple cabinets defy time. While trends come and go, the shaker holds the line and never seems to go out of style. ![custom cabinets winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/005-1.jpg "005 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")Because they tend to be so popular, If you’re looking for a truly unique kitchen, this might not be the right choice for you, though there are variations on the traditional Shaker style that are worth checking out. If you are renovating for resale, Shaker cabinets appeal to the most diverse swath of buyers, modern enough to appeal to minimalists, but classic enough for the older, more traditional taste. ![custom kitchen cabinets winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Banner-Slab-1024x564.jpg "Banner Slab - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Slab Cabinets Calling all minimalists! If you love clean lines and unadorned spaces, Slab cabinets are the ones for you. This modern and sleek style features flat door fronts with tons of options. From shiny painted finishes to beautiful contrasting matched-grain woods, slab cabinets throw off any ornamentation in favour of simplicity. Even door handles aren’t a given, as touch-latch hinges make any added bling unnecessary… but don’t let that stop you! Slab cabinets can be the perfect canvas for a wide variety of hardware. ![custom slabs winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/003.jpg "003 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")While they are easy to keep clean and a soothing break for the eyes, Slabs can sometimes feel cold and stark. Adding some natural materials like stone or wood can bring a lot of depth and warmth to this style. ![custom cabinets winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Banner-Rustic-1024x542.jpg "Banner Rustic - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Rustic Style The comfy quilt of the kitchen, Rustic cabinets make you want to pull out the cozy socks and the cable-knit sweaters. These cabinets feature the natural imperfections of wood, and make knots and interesting grain a statement instead of a problem. This kitchen style is perfect for the type of person who would just always rather be in the woods, and want to bring that feeling into their home. Pairing Rustic cabinets with more modern touches and features can create a space completely unique to you. ![custom rustic cabinets winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/004-2.jpg "004 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")So, which one spoke to you? If you find yourself leaning into one of these styles, you’re on the right track! If this decision was easy for you, don’t worry, there are still lots of other things to think about!

Gateway's Kitchen + Bath Renovation Services](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/up-a-notch-four-ideas-to-make-your-kitchen-remodel-as-unique-as-you/) **Published:** May 19, 2021 **Author:** Jessica Gollub **Content:** There is a lot to think about when starting a kitchen remodel. Maybe you have settled on an overall style for your cabinets (if not, [check out our article on the 4 main style categories](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/picking-your-profile-finding-the-cabinet-style-that-fits-you)), but you’re still wondering how you can adapt it to create a unique, functional, beautiful space that will suit your personality and lifestyle. We have a few ideas that might help! No matter what style you feel is best for you, every one of the ideas in this article can be easily integrated. Even better, if you were waffling between two different styles, we may even have a solution for that! ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/open-shelving.jpg "open shelving - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")**Open shelves** are the most budget friendly option to consider when planning your kitchen. Typically used in place of closed upper cabinets, they offer you display space for your most beautiful items, and the simple practicality of having all your most needed tools and dishes close at hand. If you entertain regularly, open shelves can make hosting a breeze. Your guests can easily find that water glass they need, or, better yet, help put the dishes away! Visually, open shelves can make a small space seem larger by minimizing the closed cabinetry on the walls and come in many different versions. From traditional bracketed shelves to floating shelves to modular setups like the YouK system from our partners at Häfele, open shelving can be integrated into any kitchen style. ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/HafeleYouK-1024x546.jpg "HafeleYouK - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")Of course, there are downsides, and it’s important to do a bit of soul-searching before you commit to open shelving. While it’s beautiful to look at those magazine-worthy images of perfect stacks of plates and matching mugs, understanding your own needs and lifestyle is an important consideration. How tidy do you want to be? Do you want to have all your possessions on display? Do you prefer to tuck the clutter away? This wouldn’t be an honest look at open shelving if we didn’t also mention the dreaded kitchen grime. If you’re an avid cook there is no denying the fact that kitchens collect grime. The combination of airborne grease, humidity and dust collaborate to make cleaning a hassle. While dishes/items on open shelving that get used and washed often don’t sit long enough to collect much, display items that are seldom used would require more cleaning than they would inside a cupboard. Thankfully, it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition. It is completely possible to blend smaller amounts of open shelving with closed cabinetry to give you all the versatility you want. Our designers love to mix and match, and would be thrilled to help you find the perfect combination for your space. If you’re considering it but you’re still not sure, you could try it out before committing by simply taking the doors off your existing cabinetry for a while. Whether you find yourself loving the openness or quickly finding the screwdriver to put the doors back on will tell you everything you need to know. ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/glassdoors04.jpg "glassdoors04 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")**Glass doors** offer many of the same benefits as open shelving with fewer downsides. While also giving a brighter more visually open feel to a kitchen, and offering space to display the items you love, glass doors offer protection from the added dust accumulation. Mixing materials on your cabinet doors adds visual interest to a space, and when combined with lighting can add sparkle in darker areas. ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/glassdoors01.jpg "glassdoors01 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")There are many ways glass doors can be used to boost the character and originality of your space. Beyond what you choose to display inside, painting a contrasting shade on the inside of a glass cabinet (or using an interesting wallpaper) is a fun way to add a pop of colour. Adding mullions to the door offers added detail, while unadorned glass can accent a clean modern style. Also, the glass itself can add character. There are limitless options for textured and frosted glass that can partially obscure the cabinet’s contents while still allowing for lighting and sparkle. ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/glassdoors03.jpg "glassdoors03 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")One thing to remember when considering adding glass doors to your cabinetry is wear and tear. Glass doors are more expensive than their solid counterparts and while our cabinets are built to withstand a significant amount of wear and tear, there is no denying that glass is glass. Breakage is always a possibility and care should be taken to avoid it if possible. ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/mixmatch02.jpg "mixmatch02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")**Mixing and Matching** is another fun idea to consider. Whether you’re mixing [cabinetry styles](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/picking-your-profile-finding-the-cabinet-style-that-fits-you) or colours or both, bringing different looks into your kitchen space keeps it interesting. Using this technique, you can give an extra boost to statement areas—like islands or coffee stations, or give visual separation to zones in your space that have different uses. Using multiple finishes or styles can also help if you are trying to blend a new style into a home with a distinct style of its own. Older character homes sometimes present the problem of having such an ingrained style that is difficult to break out of. Being able to bring in more modern touches while still holding on to some classic elements can open doors to something that is more your style without ignoring the style of your home. ![kitchen remodel help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/mixmatch03.jpg "mixmatch03 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")It is more difficult to pull together a mixed look than one using a single style. Similar to fashion, it’s easier to stick with one colour palette or set of patterns than it is to pull together multiple textures and patterns in a way that still looks chic and put together. If you need help, [trained and talented designers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) know what they’re doing and would be able to pull together a fresh new look while blending seamlessly into the overall look and style of your home. ![kitchen cabinets renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/inset01.jpg "inset01 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")**Face Frame (Inset) Cabinet Doors** are extremely popular in the US, but have not yet taken hold in Canada, so if they’re new to you, you’re not alone. Cabinet doors made with this feature are set into the cabinet’s frame so they are flush with the face of the cabinet when closed. This exposes the frame and allows room for added detail, while creating a streamlined look. If you take pride in perfect craftsmanship, inset doors are a dream. There is little room for error and nowhere to hide imperfections with a smooth and clean finish. Because they are more complicated to build, face frame cabinet doors are more expensive, but the time and craftsmanship required to build cabinets this way leads to a superior product overall. Hinges and hardware can be hidden or exposed, depending on the desired look. ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/inset02.jpg "inset02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")That said, humidity and foundation shifts can be a problem for face frame cabinet doors. If your house is prone to shift or crack with the seasons, or if you find the doors in your house jamming during humid weather, these might not be the right choice for you. With minimal clearance between the frame and the door, it doesn’t take much before some edges don’t fit right or start to rub, potentially damaging the finish over time. ![kitchen renovation help in winnipeg](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/inset03.jpg "inset03 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")No matter what style you choose, or how you decide to adopt that style to suit your vision, we have the experience and expertise to make it happen. [Our designers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) love nothing more than a good challenge, and we do our very best to translate your ideas and needs into the kitchen you’ve always wanted.

So what are the big up and coming trends in kitchen spaces? Space is the key word in that sentence. Everyone wants space, and not just the wide open-concept empty spaces—customers want both bigger AND better. We’re seeing increased demand for more function built into the design. Maybe it’s because we’ve spent so much more time in our homes in the past few years, or maybe we’re just starting to understand exactly how important the kitchen space is in our home, but kitchens are becoming increasingly useful spaces. ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT001 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT003 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") From better food storage and larger islands (sometimes even more than one island), to walk-in butler’s pantries and coffee stations, people are realizing it’s time to invest in in their [kitchen renovation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/kitchen-renovations/) and build that dreamy, functional space they’ve always wanted. If your home doesn’t have room to easily expand your kitchen (or it’s just not in the budget), clever small-space solutions that make the most of what you have are always in style. Organizational solutions that keep all the necessities close at hand are popular and customizing your kitchen for your own needs has never been easier. [![Web Hosting Canada](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAMPDwwAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=)](https://clients.whc.ca/aff.php?aff=5654&lang=en&lp=hc) Convertible fixtures are another way to make the best use of a small space. A sink isn’t just a sink anymore when it has built-in cutting boards, dish drainers, and sieves. ![kitchen design trends 2022](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0MDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxNDAwIDE0MDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "sink 01 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![convertible fixtures - kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDAwIDEwMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "sink 02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Living spaces are bringing the outside in more often, and the kitchen is no exception. Windows are getting bigger to let the sunlight stream in. This trend is a great one for Winnipeg. Long winters with short days give way to bright fleeting summer days, and savouring the sunlight in something worth investing in. Big windows make kitchens feel bigger and brighter, and everything looks better bathed in natural light. ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT002 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Organic touches and textures are gaining in popularity. Cabinetry highlights the natural beauty of wood, but even in painted kitchens, warm wood tones, plants, stone, and natural fabrics add depth and beauty to a space. When it comes to colour, the trend toward the outdoors holds strong. Homeowners are realizing it’s time to play more and have fun with colour. Natural blues and greens are squeezing into the colour palette that has been dominated by whites and greys. To reflect this, we’ve recently introduced a number of new standard colours to our catalogue. Check out the gallery below of what’s new! [ ![renovation sample board](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyMjMiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDgwIDEyMjMiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "seaglass - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/seaglass.jpeg "seaglass") [ ![renovation sample board](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNzkiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDgwIDEzNzkiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "diamond white - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/diamond-white.jpeg "diamond white") [ ![renovation sample board](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0NDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDgwIDE0NDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "blue steel - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/blue-steel.jpg "blue steel") [ ![renovation sample board](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNTIiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDgwIDEzNTIiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "spruce - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/spruce.jpeg "spruce") [ ![renovation sample board](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0OTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDgwIDE0OTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "baltic blue - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/baltic-blue.jpg "baltic blue") Bold tile choices are also a fun way to play with colour and add texture to a kitchen. While crisp white backsplashes never seem to go out of style, more homeowners are being more creative and adventurous. Two-toned cabinetry has been a trend for a little while and it’s continuing to hold it’s own. Kitchens are often multi-functional spaces so we can use colour to designate different zones, or make your island a focal point by using an accent colour. ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT007 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT006 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT005 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") In the hardware department it’s all about matte fixtures right now. Matte black is very popular, though metallic colours always have their place. Gold and champagne metallic fixtures and hardware are gaining on the ever-popular silver tones. Mixing and matching your hardware is also a fun way to play and bring some added dimension and personality to your space. ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT004 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen design trends](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "KT008 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") No matter what the trends are, the most important thing is that you love your space.

We’ve all had a room in our home that has ended up harboring all of our clutter or objects that we couldn’t bear to part with. Maybe over the years a spare room in your house, or even your living room table, has started to reflect the years of neglect and afterthought that you unintentionally placed upon it. It’s no longer a place of joy and has started to intimidate you every time you imagine yourself cleaning it up and transforming it into a space you actually use. Well, if this resonates with you, you’re in luck. Today, we’re going to talk about how to reclaim unused spaces so that you can optimize your enjoyment in your home and really get the full use out of it. If you are planning a home renovation or remodel but don’t know the first thing about interior design, or about how to optimize the space you have with the budget you’ve got, our design and renovation team is here to help! We’d consider it nothing less than a privilege to work with you and turn your home into something you love waking up in every day. ## Reimagine Your Dining Room If your dining room no longer is a place where you gather with your family to eat, you’re not alone, and also that’s okay. Many meals that are eaten at home are eaten on the run between work, school, or day-to-day responsibilities. Many dining rooms sit unused for months at a time, becoming unused rooms in the house that hold potential for new life. Consider turning the space over to another purpose, like reading, crafting, or working. In many cases, you won’t have to make any major renovations, except for a change in furniture, which can arguably be the most difficult task, especially if the room is smaller. Maybe you want to keep your small square dining room as a dining room, but are tired of looking at the same blinds every day and absolutely hate the thought of sitting at the old rickety table you’ve had for years. Try a round antique table to allow for more space in the room, adding chairs that don’t indicate a dining room, but instead indicate relaxation and entertainment. Play around with patterns and let colors speak for the room. If this has been a room you’ve been avoiding, giving it an entirely new personality will really do wonders. Natural light and brighter colors can also open the space up and make you more attracted to the room. [![kitchen and bath renovations](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/cta-1.jpg "cta 1 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/)## Optimize An Awkward Corner If you haven’t yet encountered an awkward corner in your home, or your home simply doesn’t have one, then you should consider yourself lucky. Trying to style an awkward corner can sometimes be worse than not styling it at all, and the truth is, it can really be a distraction, no matter what the rest of the room looks like. The good news is that there are still plenty of ways you can make this area something you don’t try to avoid eye contact with every time you enter the room. You could make it a reading nook, creating a cozy space to curl up and read a book with four simple additions: a snug, tufted armchair, a reliable light source, a soft throw blanket, and of course, some good books. If you’re dealing with a smaller budget, then even placing a large, lush plant in the corner will certainly make a big difference. Or, turn the corner into a conversation starter by picking up a dramatic decor piece that acts as a statement piece in your room. If you’re dealing with an awkward corner in a home office, then fill the void with seating that was made for nesting in the space, or opt for a corner shelf unit, or even a triangular cabinet or desk. ![kitchen and bath renovations](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/dream-home-makeover-1024x612.jpg "dream-home-makeover - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")## Create Flow Through Long, Narrow Hallways A narrow and cramped hallway can really be a thorn in the side, especially if it lacks color and makes you feel cramped every time you walk through it. If there is no room to add furniture, add a richly hued and boldly patterned rug on the floor instead. It will draw the eye down instead of toward the end of the hallway, which can make the space seem wider. A hallway that lacks good lighting can make it appear much longer, and perhaps a little spooky. In this case, adding mirrors opposite a source of natural light will encourage light and create the illusion of space. You can even add wall decor to add interest and make it seem less ominous. ## Create Connection With A Small Or Out-Of-Place Closet A small closet or one that seems out of place and of no use can feel weird and throw the vibes off the whole room. Try to avoid stacking boxes in unused closets, or housing clutter in them. It may take some creativity, but there are plenty of uses for this space. Completely transform your closet into a reading nook by installing shelves on all three closet walls for your collection of books and knick-knacks as well as a bench with a luxurious cushion that you could curl up on and fall asleep. ## Don’t Forget About Your Garage This may be a less common room you think of enhancing, but if it’s going unused and becoming a cave of snowboards, boxes of Christmas decorations, yard work tools, and more, then what do you have to lose? If you enjoy having a place to shelter your cars from the weather outside, then this may not apply to you, but if you’re happy leaving your cars outside and can see your garage as potential for additional living space or working space, then this is for you! Chances are that your garage is big enough for an additional room, if not additional bathroom space, making it a functional room to keep guests in. The sky’s the limit here, so you can even make it a game room or a speakeasy where you keep your cocktail mixes. ![kitchen renovators and bath renovation consultation](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/cta-2.jpg "cta 2 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath")If all these ideas are sparking some creative fire in you but you don’t really know where to start, it could be an exceptionally good idea to bring in a new set of trained eyes. Interior designers are trained for moments such as this and are chock-full of fresh ideas that will give your dining room a new character, transforming it into a pace where you can entertain. The interior design team’s bathroom and kitchen Renovators at our [Winnipeg Renovation Company](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/) are highly skilled at uncovering potential and seamlessly combining beauty and functionality. There is no reason not to start now, especially when you have a home renovation and design team at Gateway.

If not, you really should, either to design a beautiful kitchen (like the one featured in this post), or because she has the best Ressois around! If you aren’t sure how to say that, you’re not alone… but I got a lesson. It’s pronounced (with apologies to any of my Portuguese friends): “Re-SHOYSH”… with bonus points if you can roll the R. ![bela sousa - designer](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/005.jpg "005 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Bela is our Director of Sales, and she has been a treasured part of the Gateway Family for a long time. When I asked her to submit a recipe she happily brought me some Ressois to taste (and photograph). I suggested she might need a career change so I have a place to buy the delicate meaty bites of heaven regularly. She didn’t seem too keen to give up her job, so we’ll all have to make do with the recipe. This is a somewhat complicated recipe, but there are no cooking techniques that require advanced skill, so if you read carefully and go one step at a time, anyone can make and enjoy these tasty meat turnovers. This is also a great make-ahead recipe, so you can make a lot, store them in the freezer and fry them up as you need them. ![renovation kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "008 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![portuguese ressois](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDQwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "003 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen reno windows](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "009 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") #### **Portuguese Ressois:** *FILLING:* 1 large onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, diced 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp butter 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork 1/2 cup chorizo (chopped up) 1/2 cup chopped bacon 2 lightly beaten egg yolks 1 Tbsp flour, dissolved in a bit of cold water. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil and butter until they have softened. Add ground beef, ground pork, chorizo and chopped bacon. Brown all the meat, breaking it apart and mixing it together with the onions and garlic. Once the meat is fully cooked, remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks and flour and water mixture. Set aside to cool. *DOUGH:* 1 cup warm water 1 cup milk 1 tbsp butter pinch of salt 2 heaping cups of flour Sift flour into a bowl and set aside. Lay a clean (lint free) tea towel on the counter and dust with more flour. Combine the water and milk in a medium-sized pot and gently bring to a boil, stirring to prevent scorching. Once the liquid has come to a boil, stir in the butter and salt, (remove from heat?) and add all the flour in the bowl at once. Using a strong spoon, fold the flour into the liquid mixture until it turns into a dough (Bela says this part will test your arm muscles, so be prepared). Once the mixture has reached dough-like consistency, dump it onto the tea towel and then, using the towel, knead the dough (it will be very hot, so the tea towel helps). Cover and set aside to cool. *ASSEMBLY:* Cut off a manageable piece of cooled dough and roll out as thinly as possible. Take a teaspoon full of filling, place it near the edge of the dough, fold the dough over and with a medium-sized glass, cut the dough (with the filling inside) to make small moon-shaped turnovers. Continue until you have used up all the filling and dough, re-rolling dough scraps when necessary. (Should make 6-7 dozen). *BREADING:* Whisk 2-3 eggs in a shallow dish, and pour breadcrumbs onto another plate. Working with one hand for the egg mixture, and the other for the breadcrumbs, dip the ressois first into the egg, and then into the breadcrumbs. Lay them onto a baking sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, you can either fry them or transfer to a Ziploc bag to be fried at a later date. ![custom hood fan](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "006 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![portuguese ressiois](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODM5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDgzOSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "004 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") *FRYING:* Ressois MUST be fried from frozen. Using a deep fryer, heat a mild-flavoured oil on high, (If you’re using a pot and a deep-fry thermometer, heat oil to 375F). Working in batches of 6-8, carefully drop ressois into the oil, cooking for approximately 2 minutes until golden brown. Scoop them out of the oil and drain on a heat-proof dish lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil. Let cool until they won’t burn your tongue (it’ll be hard to wait) and enjoy! ![dark cabinets on kitchen island](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "007 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") At Gateway Kitchen + Bath we love to build as much as we love to eat!

Sometimes it’s a specific item, or a look. Other times it’s a mood – a feeling that is difficult to put into words. A renovation of our own homes can be a very personal and intimate experience. When given the opportunity to truly create our own spaces, we sometimes falter, worried about making the “right” choices. But maybe there is no right choice… only right for YOU. It’s your home, your space, your personality, your vibe. Tell us what that is, and we’ll help you bring it to life. Here are a few of the looks and feelings and moods we’ve been hearing about. Maybe it’s time for you to embrace one of these renovation trends… and maybe it’s time you set a new one. ![custom kitchen reno](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjIwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTAwIDYyMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trends light - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## SUNLIGHT It’s here in full force and we think it should stay that way. Natural light will always make homes better. If have the opportunity to add more (or bigger) windows, we’re behind you every step of the way. Letting the sunlight in makes your space feel bigger, brighter and more open. No matter what cabinetry or finishes you choose, they all look best with a healthy dose of light. ![home renovation trends individuality](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trends individuality - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## INDIVIDUALITY It’s time to break free from the norms and build YOUR space! Even though we’re happy to help explore existing trends, the best trend we’re seeing in our work is people feeling free to do something different. It’s time to say goodbye to the “Millennial Grey”-style trends that push everyone in the same direction and explore your unique voice. Whether that’s bold tile choices, quirky accents, or fresh colours, the sky is the limit when it comes to making your space all about you. Gone are the days of letting someone else tell you what your home should look like. You’re in the driver’s seat and there’s nothing we love more than bringing your new and unique ideas to life. ## PERFECT IMPERFECTION We’re seeing a current renovation trend toward integrating and embracing natural materials, imperfections and raw, handmade looks. Flawless gloss is beautiful but there’s something just so earthy and soothing about wood grain, stone, crafted artisanal tile, textured plaster surfaces, and perfectly mismatched fixtures. ## FUNCTION, FUNCTION, FUNCTION Admit it, you’re tired of spaces that aren’t working for you, so it’s time to change that! We’ve been making kitchens and bathrooms functional for a long time, but what about all those other spaces in your home? Do you have a mudroom to catch all those backpacks and umbrellas and loose scarves? Is your laundry room on a concrete floor in the corner of the basement? What about that cramped corner pantry of yours? The spaces that don’t inspire you are spaces you don’t want to spend time in. How lovely would it be to have a laundry room that makes you happy, a home office that helps you focus, and a pantry you won’t lose anything in? It’s time. ![renovation trends 2023 custom winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trends function - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom bathroom design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trends pampering - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## PERSONAL PAMPERING Maybe it’s all that time we spent staring at our own four walls, but we’re seeing more and more interest in bringing home some of those luxurious treats. Steam showers, deep freestanding tubs, heated floors and towel racks, even integrated sound systems are all being used to built retreats and sanctuaries within the comforts of your own home. There’s nothing quite as soothing as finding an escape from the everyday just steps away. ![custom bathtub](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trends pampering 2 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom laundry room](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjk2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDY5NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Trends mixed metal - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## MIXED METALS Matching is great, but if you know what you’re doing, there’s a big renovation trend heading toward the intentional mismatch. Hardware and fixtures come in so many beautiful styles and colours… there’s the always-popular and steadfast brushed nickels, the trending matte blacks, and the ever-growing push toward glam with golds and champagnes. How is a person to choose? Well maybe you don’t have to! Mismatching your metals adds visual interest to a space, and a whole lot of bold flair (expertly curated of course). ## WARMING THE WOODS Warmth, depth and grain is the current order of the day. Painted cabinetry (in all colours) is still trending well, especially deep unique colours, but for those who prefer wood (or want to mix and match), we’re seeing rich, pronounced grain options making the top of the list. The light, bleached out woods are being replaced with natural tones, and while still lighter and more modern than the heavy cherry or golden stains of the past, these woods are finished just enough to enhance the intrinsic beauty of each unique grain pattern. ## SIMPLICITY, SYMMETRY + CLEAN LINES Emptying your space of visual clutter is like taking a big mental breather from the rest of life. Clear countertops (with practical storage for all the essentials, of course), open and airy spaces, minimalist decor, and hidden appliances top the list of desires for many of our new projects. The stuff that makes our lives easier isn’t always beautiful, but trends are toward keeping it out of sight vs having it all out in the open. Don’t let that keep you from having all those things, though. We’ve built cabinets that double as coffee stations or home bars, panels that blend your fridge and dishwasher right into your cabinetry, and drawers and pull-outs to store almost anything you need within reach. ![kitchen renovation coffee station](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzIyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDcyMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trends clean lines - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![bathroom vanity](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "custom ensuite - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") So what are your must-haves? Yes, we watch for the newest renovation trends in the design world, but we think it’s just as (if not more) important to listen to you.

Soon after, she made the transition to Kitchen Designer and Project Manager. She has now been with Gateway since 2000, winning an award in the 2010 Canadian NKBA Design Competition. Jane’s favourite thing about working at Gateway is creating theme designs such as Contemporary, French Country or Log Cabin and challenging the custom woodworking capabilities of the Gateway shop. The talented team of cabinetmakers never cease to amaze her with their workmanship. They allow Jane and the rest of the designers to work with their clients and be very creative with their designs. When not at Gateway, you will find Jane spending time with her family at the cabin or on the soccer field. [Follow Jane on Instagram!](https://www.instagram.com/jane_at_gateway/) ## PAUL PETERS Being native to Winnipeg, I have always found inspiration from both classical and modern design while wandering through her many districts and parks. The city provided an art gallery experience for viewing historic and modern architecture and landscape design. This exposure developed into a love for creating beauty through gardening, landscaping and creating aesthetic and function in my spaces and surroundings. After pursuing an engineering degree, I applied my creativity to engineering projects for a variety of industries and developed skills in project management. I excelled at space optimization and improving function and aesthetics in my projects. As a past time, I would refine my spaces through renovation and landscaping while also providing design services for people planning home build or renovation projects. ***“I draw satisfaction from helping people view their space differently, in order to create spaces that inspire, while resonating with a person’s style preferences and function requirements.”*** Navigating the range of design and product choices today is often challenging and I enjoy assisting people in planning and executing their projects to a satisfying completion.

Kitchen renovations can vary widely depending on finish/material choices and the overall size and scope of the project. For a complete renovation in Winnipeg, including design, manufacturing, project management and coordination of all applicable trades, the cost of a Gateway custom kitchen renovation starts at approximately $45k and goes up from there. For a detailed look at how a kitchen renovation is priced and what goes into each one we do, [read our in-depth article here](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/what-does-a-kitchen-renovation-cost/) ##### How long does a kitchen renovation take in Winnipeg? Timelines can vary. The design process that happens prior to signing a contract and starting the renovation can take 6-8 weeks on average (depending on how many changes and consults occur during this process). Once you’ve signed your contract with us and paid your initial payment, your project goes into production (engineering, manufacturing, ordering supplies and materials) and depending on the scope, it will be between 6-10 weeks before we start work in your house (demolition, framing, plumbing/electrical, etc) and about 2 weeks after we start, your cabinets will be installed and finishing begins (countertops, tile work, flooring, paint, etc). Overall, with minimal changes or delays mid-renovation, you can expect 4-5 months from your job start payment. ##### Do I need permits for a kitchen renovation in Winnipeg? Permits are required for all electrical, plumbing or structural changes. Once we know the scope of your project, our team will ensure you have all the permits you require for your renovation. [Learn more about our Project Coordination team here.](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/customer-care/) ##### Do you refinish cabinets on-site? No. All our cabinet finishes (both paint and stain) are sprayed on in a controlled environment in our shop for the highest level of quality, quality control, and durability. While the process of removing doors to bring to our shop is simple enough, there are many finished parts of your cabinets that likely cannot be removed without major effort and possible damage. If you are looking to have your cabinetry refinished, there are companies we have worked with that we can recommend. If you would like a recommendation, [please reach out using our contact form](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/), and we can let you know who we would trust with your project. ##### Can you help with small bathrooms in older Winnipeg homes? Yes! Small bathrooms and old homes in Winnipeg can present unique challenges, (old wiring or plumbing, insufficient utility for a modern home, or even pieces that are not up to modern building code). While older-home renovations—and especially complex rooms like kitchens and bathrooms in older homes—often come with surprises once demolition begins, we have decades of experience to ensure your project turns out the way you’d like it to. If you’re considering a renovation on an older home in Winnipeg, we would be happy to explore options with you. [Book a free one-hour consultation with a member of our creative Design Team to get started!](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/schedule-appointment/) ##### Can I keep my existing cabinets and just replace countertops? Yes! We are able to fabricate both butcherblock and laminate countertops in-house, and would be happy to quote a countertops project for you. If you are only looking to replace countertops with custom-fabricated stone (granite, quartz, marble, porcelain, etc), it’s probably more cost efficient for you to reach out to a stone countertop company directly rather than going through Gateway. We can help with recommendations if you like. If you’d like a recommendation for one of our favourite stone countertop fabricators, [please fill out our contact form](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/) and we can help! Not sure which type of countertop is best for you? [Learn more in our Counter Intelligence article](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/counter-intelligence-spilling-the-secrets-of-custom-countertops/). ##### What types of home renovations do you offer in Winnipeg? While we specialize in [custom cabinetry design and construction](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/custom-kitchen-cabinets/), making kitchens and bathrooms our most common renovations, we can (and do) design and renovate all areas of your home, including designing and coordinating home additions. As a full-service renovator, we can manage your residential project of any size from conception and design, through engineering, production, demolition, trades and finishing… all the way to the completed space. With a [team of Designers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) and [Project Managers](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/customer-care/), your project will have experienced eyes on it for the duration. ##### Do you handle plumbing and electrical for bathroom renovations? We are a full-service renovation company who will coordinate your project from conception and design to completion. We partner with many trusted trades in Winnipeg and will oversee your entire project including electrical, plumbing, tilework, fixtures, flooring, countertops and more. Want more information on what you can expect from a major renovation? [Read more here.](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/what-to-expect-renovations/) ##### Can I renovate my kitchen and bathroom at the same time? You can! It often works out to be more cost-effective in the long run, as individual trades can work on both spaces at the same time. This is especially true for small spaces where the work required might not cost as much as the trade minimum required to bring someone to the site. It can be difficult as a homeowner to have much of your home a construction area all at once, but if you can manage it, we’re happy to do it! For tips on surviving a major kitchen renovation, check out our [Kitchen Renovation Survival Guide](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-renovation-survival-guide/) ##### Do you offer design consultations before starting a renovation? Yes! We do offer design consultations, including a free, no-obligation, one-hour initial consultation to explore options and talk to a member of our design team. This consultation will give you an opportunity to share your ideas for the space, explore our wide selection of samples and showroom displays, and connect with a Designer who can get you started! To book a consultation, you can choose a date and time that works best for you on [our website tool here.](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/schedule-appointment/) ##### Can you work with my existing floor plan, or do you offer layout redesigns? Whether you are looking to redesign your space within the existing layout of your home or make major changes to the floor plan, we are well-equipped to assist you with your project. Oftentimes, especially in older homes, the flow just isn’t working for you and our creative Design Team is skilled at reworking a space to get the best out of it. Whether you have a specific plan, or just know it could be better but aren’t sure how, we can help! During our design process, our team will listen to better understand the needs of your household and offer creative solutions. [Meet our Design Team here.](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/about-us/winnipeg-interior-design-team/) ##### Do you renovate older Winnipeg homes? Yes! We have renovated many older homes in Winnipeg, and while they can present unique challenges, we are well-equipped to do all necessary updates. While some homeowners prefer a modern aesthetic makeover, many also prefer to build something that better suits the original style and character of the home. Whichever you choose for your home renovation, we will use our experience to identify and mitigate issues that may arise, (like updates to plumbing or wiring—common issues in older homes) and make your space reflect your style and lifestyle. ##### Can I get soft-close drawers and doors with custom cabinetry? Yes! All soft-close options for cabinet doors and drawers, as well as any additional hardware options (pull-outs, Super Susans, racks, drawer organizers, appliance lifts, etc) are available for your custom cabinets. ##### How long does it take to build and install custom cabinets in Winnipeg? Depending on the size and scope of your project, once your design is finalized, your contract is signed and you’ve paid your initial payment, it typically takes between 8-12 weeks (engineering, material and hardware procurement, and production) before the finished cabinets will be installed in your home. Need some inspiration? [Explore our galleries here!](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/) ##### What is the cost difference between custom and prefab cabinets? There are three general categories of cabinets on the market. Stock cabinets (what you would find at a big-box store) that come in a handful of sizes and finishes, Semi-custom cabinets (mass-produced at scale in factories, but with a much wider range of sizes and options) and Custom cabinetry (built to order with nearly unlimited options in style, finish, function and size). While we do not offer any stock cabinet options, we offer both a line of semi-custom cabinets (through [Superior Cabinets](https://superiorcabinets.ca/)) and our own fully-custom line, designed on site and built in our shop by local craftspeople. While we cannot speak directly to stock cabinets, they would be the cheapest option available. As to the cost difference between semi-custom and custom cabinets? Depending on the design, custom-built cabinets generally cost around 50% more than semi-custom. We wrote an article describing the differences in more detail to help you make a confident decision. [Read it here.](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/level-up-choosing-the-best-type-of-custom-cabinets-for-you/) ##### Do you design cabinets for other spaces like laundry rooms or basements? Yes! While many of our custom cabinets are built for kitchens and bathrooms, if there is a different room you’d like to add custom cabinetry or built-ins to (living rooms, dining rooms, bar areas, closets, storage areas, laundry rooms, etc), we can absolutely design and build it for you. Custom cabinets offer the ability to perfectly fit a pre-determined space, and are infinitely customizable for style and needs. To explore some of our recent home cabinetry projects, [check out our gallery here](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/and-more/). ##### Can I see samples of custom finishes and styles in your showroom? While we can build and source almost anything you would like, we do have a large range of finish, door style, hardware, fixture, tile and countertop samples available in both our showrooms for you to explore. Feel free to drop into either one of our locations (893 Gateway Road or A-112 Scurfield Blvd) or [make an appointment](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/schedule-appointment/) to explore your options with a member of our Design Team. ##### Do you build cabinets locally in Winnipeg? Yes! All our custom cabinetry is designed, engineered and built in Winnipeg in our shop by local craftspeople at our head-office location on Gateway Road. ##### How long does it take to build and install custom cabinets in Winnipeg? Depending on the size and scope of your project, once your design is finalized, your contract is signed and you’ve paid your initial payment, it typically takes between 8-12 weeks (engineering, material and hardware procurement, and production) before the finished cabinets will be installed in your home. Need some inspiration? Explore our galleries here. ##### What are the most popular kitchen design styles in Winnipeg right now? When it comes to current kitchen design styles in Winnipeg, we’re building a lot of modern-style cabinets with slab or shaker-style doors (standard or narrow edge) with white, coloured, or natural wood finishes. Two-tone kitchens and white countertops are also popular. For inspiration and to see some of our recent work, [check out our Kitchen Gallery here](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/gallery/custom-kitchen-gallery/) ##### Is it better to renovate in the summer or winter in Winnipeg? Overall, it’s easier to have major renovation work taking place in your home during the warmer months. There tends to be a lot of traffic coming and going through your house and it’s less of a disruption when the weather is warm and dry. It’s also nice to be able to utilize outdoor spaces for cooking, eating and relaxing when the inside of your home may be dusty and dismantled. However, we do many winter renovations too, and because that tends to be a slower time for us, timelines can sometimes be shorter. ![open concept kitchen renovation with large island and oversized custom range hood](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Open Concept Kitchen Renovation - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## More questions?

If you do want to have some pops of colour, then consider adding them in with some well-placed plants, pictures, or other small decorative objects. If you plan to sell your home at some point, then it’s especially important to avoid colorus that are super trendy. Sticking with traditional or neutral colour choices will ensure that the majority of prospective buyers will love your kitchen. ![traditional cabinets winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNTAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTQ5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTUwIDE0OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trad - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Traditional 1.

Our designers are skilled at making the most of your space, and would love to talk to you about which layout would work best. [Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/schedule-appointment/) No matter which layout you prefer, it’s important to keep the **Work Triangle** in mind when planning your space. Each point of the work triangle is one of the three main tools in your kitchen: the sink, the refrigerator, and the stove/range. Where you place these items affects the flow and function of your kitchen and choosing wisely will truly make your kitchen work for you. While layout options are endless, here are 5 common layouts to get you started: ![l-shape cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDQiIGhlaWdodD0iMTQzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTQ0IDE0MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "L - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## The L-Shape With cabinetry and countertop along two walls, this layout is popular in open-concept homes or smaller kitchens that feature a dinette area. With less cabinet/counter space, efficiency and planning is key! ![u shape cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDQiIGhlaWdodD0iMTQzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTQ0IDE0MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "U - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## The U-Shape The central space of the U-shaped layout is open for maximum freedom of movement. Ideally, you’d place one appliance on each side of the room to form a good work triangle. ![g shape cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDIiIGhlaWdodD0iMTQzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTQyIDE0MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "G - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## The G-Shape Also known as the peninsula design, the G-shape allows the option to keep your cooking, cleaning, and meal prep stations separate. Depending on the design you choose, you could also include bar seating on one end of the peninsula. ![island shaped cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDQiIGhlaWdodD0iMTQ0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTQ0IDE0NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "I - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## The Island Boost your workspace with an island layout. Whether you choose to put your sink or any appliances into the island or leave it as a clear work/eating space, this layout gives you many options and tons of countertop area to work with. ![custom kitchen cabinets winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDEiIGhlaWdodD0iMTQzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTQxIDE0MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Gal - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## The Galley Typically found in smaller, narrow kitchens, the galley features cabinetry on two sides of the room. Typically, the sink will be placed opposite the refrigerator and stove/range to maintain a good work triangle and fully optimize a small space. ## Functional Kitchen Features We briefly touched on some of the functional features you should consider when selecting the layout of your kitchen. While you want to make sure that the layout offers the best flow for accessing appliances and preparing meals, there are a number of other features that can enhance the functionality of your kitchen. ![built in wine cabinet](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "wine - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Built-In Wine Rack If you are a wine enthusiast, then the wall-mounted wine racks typically found in stores will likely not hold enough. While you can purchase wine racks that stand alone, you may not want to give up valuable floor space. To store your wine in a way that is both convenient and aesthetically pleasing, you consider adding a built-in wine rack. These are easily customized to fit the space and shape available in your kitchen. ![secondary sink](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "island-sink - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Secondary Sink In The Island Depending on the size of your kitchen island, you may prefer to add a second sink to accommodate all of your meal prep needs. If this is something you’re considering, then it’s important to choose whether you want the main sink along the counter or on the island. At Gateway Kitchen + Bath, we can provide the pros and cons to help you make the best decision. ![walk in pantry winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "pantry - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Walk-In Pantry A walk-in pantry is a feature that many homeowners wish they had. There is something nice about being able to store and see all of your dry goods at a glance rather than opening multiple cabinet doors. ![double oven](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "double-oven - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Double Oven Double ovens are especially handy when you’re preparing a lot of food at one time. If you like to host dinner parties or regular gatherings of friends and family, a double oven can provide an incredible boost to the functionality of your kitchen. ![warming stove cabinet](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "warmer - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Warming Drawer Sometimes, it can be frustrating trying to determine the timing of each dish so that they are all served at optimal warmth. A warming drawer could be the perfect solution for keeping food warm until it is time to be served. ![cabinets for trash](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "trash - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Cabinets For Trash And Recycling There’s nothing that can ruin the appearance of a kitchen quite as quickly as unsightly trash cans or recycling bins. One of the best options to maintain the form and function of your kitchen is to install custom cabinets that keep these items out of sight when not in use. ![custom spice cabinet](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "spices - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Spice Cabinet Organizer Your spices and herbs are an important part of making meals tasty, but organizing them can be quite a task. Instead of digging through them every time to find the jars you need, opt to have a spice cabinet organizer installed with your custom kitchen cabinets from Gateway Kitchen + Bath. ## What Is Involved With A Kitchen Renovation? ![make a plan.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTgwIDE4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "1 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Make a Plan Think about the way you use your kitchen and what changes would make it more functional and efficient when preparing meals. ![discover your options.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTgwIDE4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Discover Your Options Look at the different custom cabinet styles and colours to select what best suits your style and taste. ![finalize the design.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTgwIDE4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "3 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Finalize the Design Let the team at Gateway Kitchen + Bath know your needs, your budget, and any other needs to ensure the end result is exactly what you want. ![enjoy the results.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTgwIDE4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "4 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Enjoy the Results When you work with our team of custom kitchen cabinet experts, you can trust that when your kitchen renovation is complete, it will be your dream come to life. ## Start Your Dream Project Today!

It’s important to us to be transparent with our reviews, even on our own website. Renovations are difficult, and complicated. We do everything we can to use our experience and expertise to give you the best experience possible, but we’re also human. This list of reviews pulls at random from our Google Business Profile. We haven’t hidden any reviews on this page because the great ones are the encouragement we need to keep doing what we do, and the not-so-great ones remind us to stay motivated to do better.

I love my new kitchen! We've never done a major renovation before, and I'm neurotic, so I was anticipating chaos and tears, but it was honestly a relatively smooth process. I liked the way expectations were set. Communication was amazing! Hiccups were addressed right away. I would recommend Gateway to anyone, and I will be using their services again when we are ready to update the bathroom. ![Jelena P. profile picture](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI1MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDUwIDUwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) [Jelena P.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107162282010876412059/reviews)15:08 14 Feb 26 ​We recently had our kitchen and three bathrooms renovated, with the kitchen being completely gutted and redesigned. The craftsmanship provided by Gateway Kitchen and Bath exceeded our expectations. ​The Design Team: Jane and Ciel were exceptional at seeing our vision and guiding us through decisions when we were unsure, ensuring we’d be happy with our dream kitchen and updated bathrooms. ​Project Management: Pat, the Project Coordinator, was always reachable and ensured the workmanship stayed on schedule. He responded quickly to any concerns we had during construction. Walter, the scheduler, kept us up to date with every change—we always knew exactly what was happening and when. ​The Crew: From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and kept the workspace clean. A huge thank you to: ​Dan: For the careful removal of cabinets without any damage to our home. ​Kevin: For the drywall installation (and for sharing stories about his Dogo Argentino!). ​Wes: For his excellent taping skills and great sense of humor. ​Dan (Installer): A "one-man show" who installed all the kitchen and bathroom cabinets by himself with incredible precision. ​Viktor: For the beautiful tile backsplash in the kitchen and bathrooms. ​The whole team was honest, reliable, and delivered high-quality work. They turned what could have been a stressful renovation into a smooth, exciting process. If you want quality work, look no further. We will definitely be using them for our next project!

We used them for a kitchen job before and we were very happy with it. I have many chemical sensitivities and they were willing to use the materials that worked better for me.

I cannot stress enough about the importance of this renovation, as I must use a wheelchair to function 24/7 in the house. The custom cabinets, organizing & scheduling, the qualified trade people, follow-ups throughout the entire project were all extremely important for us. With Gateway, we felt comfortable what to expect during the project and when, and most trade people were very approachable and explained the details well and why. I was not only impressed with Gateway’s attention to detail in each step, but also with managing the entire process with some many (but important) details. This project was finished with a minor delay, and we had a good functional kitchen for Christmas and the New Year holidays. My life is now a lot easier, thanks to the lower countertops, the wheelchair access under the sink and the cooktop, the larger navigation space around the island, to mention some of them. Thanks for your great work! Yuki Shiokawa ----- Our original kitchen became beyond my wife’s physical tolerance from her wheelchair for some years. We then contacted Jane at Gateway Kitchen & Bath (and one other place). I was always impressed with her designing knowledge and experience with the trade people during the time I was one of her colleagues. Jane was very helpful in redesigning a standard kitchen to a handicap-friendly one, and in recommending many right choices for the new look we wanted to achieve. During the construction, I was reacquainted with many of my former colleagues and the trade people, who did excellent work. What a pleasure to see these people renovating our kitchen! Thanks so much for your caring work. ![Monique R. profile picture](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI1MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDUwIDUwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) [Monique R.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104322990592584522594/reviews)22:44 31 Jan 25 Gateway made my kitchen and laundry renovation extremely easy and seamless.

Our overall experience was very positive. The design Team is truly excellent, communicates promptly and was very excited about the project we had in mind. It was truly a pleasure to work with Kaitlyn and Chloe on realizing our dream kitchen design. The quality of the work done by staff was also excellent, and we were very pleased with the cabinet work. As with any project, there are hiccups along the way, these were communicated to us and any additional charges were clearly communicated. Toward the end, however, the project management went a bit off the rails causing some frustration. Items were incorrectly measured or poorly painted, and communication between all parties was rather poor.

Even on a budget, our goal is to help you design your kitchen exactly the way you want. Your imagination is the only limiting factor when deciding on patterns and colours. Mix and match vintage and modern styles, and don’t be scared to make a statement with bold hardware or striking light fixtures that make a statement. Sleek and minimalist styles are in, but so are loud and decorative spaces. Ultimately, there is nothing you can’t do when it comes to renovating your kitchen. Check out our [Renovation Trends](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/renovation-trends/) page for more ideas! ## Choose The Right Cabinets If you’ve ever tried to work in a poorly designed kitchen, you’d fully understand the benefits of cabinetry that works for you. When designing your custom kitchen, our goal is to make your space as beautiful as it is functional. Our [custom cabinets](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/services/custom-kitchen-cabinets/) are built to complement and enhance the other design elements in your home, and suit your personal style and lifestyle. We work closely with you to ensure your kitchen has adequate storage, efficient flow and makes you smile every time you walk into it. ![custom cabinets](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "custom cabinet - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen renovation winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NzAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzc1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjcwIDM3NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen2 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Use Existing Elements As Inspiration Use your surroundings as inspiration in your kitchen remodel, and don’t be afraid to embrace the existing quirks that make house unique. Rather than trying to cover up exposed pipe and label it as a design flaw, take the opportunity to use it to your advantage. It’ll give your space some edge and colour, making it visually interesting and memorable. If you have interesting character in your home, embrace it, and let the original architecture stand out. ## Embrace The Space You’re In In addition to drawing inspiration from your surroundings, draw inspiration from the space you live in. If you live in an industrial-style or loft-like space, then don’t try to force another style into it. While it could work, it could also clash, as the two styles try to fight for dominance. If your home has a more vintage and old-school vibe to it, then bring in elements that will complement the space. Believe it or not, there are “modern vintage” renovations that put a new spin on old styles. ![custom kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NzAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzc1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjcwIDM3NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen1 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom kitchen renovation winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NzAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzc1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjcwIDM3NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen1 (2) - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## Use Your Available Space It can be appealing to try and extend your kitchen, but oftentimes, the choice will be a budget-buster, leaving you to either accept defeat or get creative. A tiny kitchen will mean that you will be using every nook and cranny available, so utilizing the sides of cabinets, wall space, and floating shelves will help you optimize your space. Larger kitchens will have more opportunities, sure, but they with a little imagination, a functional kitchen can be built to perfection in even a limited space! ## YOUR HOME RENOVATIONS, YOUR WAY.

There is one thing to keep in mind, however — no matter if your bathroom is a simple powder room or a master ensuite, it needs to be functional. A beautiful and functional bathroom will stand the test of time, but will also intrigue guests and make using your bathroom an experience. **Don’t Make Storage an Afterthought** Especially if you are working with a smaller bathroom, storage is essential for functionality of your bathroom. Look for storage opportunities (even small and simple ones) when creating your design plans, and fully integrate them instead of simply adding them on. Storage can be along the lines of tall, shallow shelves, or deep cabinets — but go with a design that allows you to store things like shower products, towels, etc. without your bathroom feeling cluttered and suffocated. **Install Flattering Lighting** The lighting fixtures you choose for your bathroom renovation can vary depending on the amount of natural light you get, the size of your bathroom, and even the number of mirrors you have in your bathroom. Choosing the right lighting for your bathroom involves more than just putting some bulbs above your mirror and calling it good — you’ll want to consider the rest of the bathroom design as well as what you will be using the bathroom for. If you spend a lot of time in the bathroom applying makeup, then consider vertical lights along the mirror, as fluorescent lights above will cast shadows on your face. Bright lights above light-colored countertops will reflect too much light. **Consider Wall-hung Toilets** Wall-hung toilets are compact, saving you space for other appliances, but also offering a sleeker look for your bathroom. They are growing in popularity and no longer break the bank, so there is special consideration. **Shower or Tub?** When you are remodeling your bathroom, ask yourself how often you take baths. There are tons of great design ideas for both, but no matter what you choose, don’t renovate the shower or tub for future or potential buyers, do it for yourself and what you enjoy. A statement-making tub can give a dramatic feel to your bathroom. If you choose to install a shower, then you have the option to install shower sills or shower floors. ![kitchen renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "custom ensuite winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen renovation winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDAwIDEyMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "bathroom1 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") **Update the Vanity** Updating your vanity, including the countertops, faucet, and sink, can add some more expenses to your budget, but will completely change the feel and style of your bathroom. Granite or marble countertops can give an elegant feel to your bathroom, and choosing a beautiful and trendy faucet can transform the sink entirely. Choosing new hardware to surround the vanity, like towel racks, can add to the elevated appeal. **Enhance the Look with Tile** Tile can make or break your bathroom renovation, because it is easy to run with an idea until your bathroom is a mixture of several different varieties of tile and there is no direction in the design. If you have a couple styles of tile in mind, then try going with a statement tile for the floor, and a simple tile with a similar colour for the walls or the backsplash. No matter the tile you choose, however, be cognizant of the grout. Be sure to choose a high-quality grout that will seal out any dirt and water. **Add Windows** Adding windows to your bathroom may seem counter-intuitive to maintaining privacy, but fear not — it is possible to have the best of both worlds. Natural light is flattering and adds a certain level of relaxation to any room. Consider windows above the shower or near the vanity, and maintain privacy by choosing a frosted-glass panel. For fresh air, get a window that opens, but make sure it is water tight. If you are extra concerned about safety, then get a tilt-and-turn window. **Drawer Storage or Cabinets for Storage** The importance of storage was discussed briefly before, but how you install spaces for storage is another crucial part of your bathroom remodel. Consider drawer storage under the vanity because of its easy accessibility. Wide drawers can hold a greater amount of belongings and also gives you more room to organize. Our custom [cabinets can seamlessly pull your entire bathroom](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/home/bathroom-renovation-and-cabinets/) together and optimize the amount of space available.

[CONTACT US TODAY](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/) ## Making The Design Process A Little Easier People may think that when they hire an interior designer they lose the freedom and control to design the house the way they want to. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, because when you work with a designer, you are more likely to meet your budget, are less likely to make expensive mistakes, have the advantage of working next to an expert, and will avoid the headaches while saving time and money. #### **SAVE MONEY** While the concept of hiring someone to help you decorate your home sounds like an expensive thing to add to a remodel, it could help you avoid costly mistakes. Navigating the purchasing of everything you’ll need can be overwhelming and a misstep can be extremely frustrating and can also slow down the interior design process. Our designers have the experience and knowledge to help you make the right decisions the first time around. Further, an interior designer works to increase the value of your home, and create a space you will love for years to come. Even if you are on a tight budget, an interior designer is going to know how to get the best value out of every dollar. An experienced designer is used to working with a budget, so they will help you understand where your money is going, and how it will best improve your home. #### **SAVE TIME** A home renovation takes a lot of time. Hiring a designer will help you save time because they have experience and a sense of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. They operate under Gateway’s tried and true timeline that will streamline your remodel and will have you enjoying your new space sooner than later. Plus, they will be able to predict obstacles that may come up, saving you hassle and frustration in the long run. Our designers will save you the effort of searching for resources, as Gateway maintains partnerships with suppliers to get you the best prices on the products and brands you love. #### **GET A PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT** When you hire a trained professional, you get an immediate plan of action for the space you are working with. A trained pair of eyes will look at your renovation and see things that you might miss but also create a solid plan of action. Our interior designers perfectly execute the balance of art and science and know how to put them together so you get the perfect results that you wanted. #### **RELY ON YOUR VERY OWN QUALIFIED LIAISON** An interior designer is going to be your top resource and best friend when it comes to your kitchen and bath remodel. They can be the bridge between you and your architect, contractor, or building owner because they know how to speak the language. Communication is key and it goes a long way in efficiently managing your time and money. Any issues should be assessed and planned for before construction, and your interior designer will know exactly when to bring these issues up and how to solve them. #### **GET ACCESS TO TOP-QUALITY INDUSTRY CONTACTS** Your interior designer is going to have vendor resources as well as home improvement industry contacts. You won’t have to spend time checking the reviews on each painter, plumber, carpenter, or lighting designer, go through trial and error, or worry about whether or not you’re putting your money and trust in the right hands — our interior designers have a list of excellent, reliable, and trustworthy contractors, electricians, and plumbers for their projects. This also saves you time and money. Working with a professional and well-educated designer is essential because they understand how to create a functional and stylish space, plus, they work closely with architects, and other professionals who have formal training. They are able to get their hands on products and fabric that may not be available to the general public. With their resource and knowledge of the industry, you are able to create a space that looks collected and unique. #### **THE “WOW FACTOR” IS GUARANTEED** Interior designers work with the end goal in mind — the “wow factor” that is going to make the remodeling process all worth it. Our designers are trained to think a little differently, to see the overall picture that you may sometimes have difficulty visualizing. They think outside of the box all day long, so the final product is oftentimes better than what you were looking for. An interior designer will give you attention to detail in everything from lighting to furniture placement and color pallets to fixture options and fabric choices. Each custom design is created to specially fit your home, making it look collected, highly-functional, and beautiful. ## Start Your Dream Project Today!

We want your new space to fit into your home perfectly, so tell us everything! ![interior designer winnipeg home kitchen bathroom renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "interior designer - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![custom renovation prepare](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation expect quote - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## How you can prepare: Take some basic measurements and photos of the space you’re planning on renovating. You don’t need to be worried about precision at this stage, as we’ll get final measurements later, but this helps us get a quick idea of the dimensions and layout we’re starting with. Look online or in magazines for rooms in styles you like [(Pinterest is a great place for this)](https://www.pinterest.ca/GatewayKitchens/). We can help you narrow down which parts of each look are the ones you gravitate to, and figure out ways to implement the same look and feel within your budget. Speaking of budgets, determine what your budget is (if you need some help, read our [Renovation Costs](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/renovation-cost/) page for a more detailed breakdown). If you have a strict or constrained budget, let us know what it is. That way we can help you find the right products and finishes that fit within it, saving us both a bunch of swaps and changes later. Understand how you currently use your space, and what parts of it you’d like to improve. Take a good hard look at your space. Does it flow well? How do you use it? Mainly just for family, or do you regularly entertain guests? Do you cook a lot and have multiple or specific storage needs, or are you a minimalist who craves more open space? ## **STEP 2: DESIGN** #### Beauty + Functionality Using our imagination and deep understanding of the balance between design and function, we strive to make your space as useful as it is breathtaking. ![interior design winnipeg renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzIwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDcyMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "interior design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Armed with your ideas and choices our designers get to work creating an initial design. We may have some questions as we go, but for the most part this step is hands-free for you and a flurry of activity for us! ![custom renovations design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NTQiIGhlaWdodD0iNTE3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjU0IDUxNyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "reno expect - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **STEP 3: QUOTE** #### Clarity + Detail Honest, transparent and easy to understand! We’ll guide you through this process to ensure you’ll feel confident and informed in your decision! Once your initial plans are complete, we quote the cost of the entire project and meet with you again to present the design package. We will go through the details of the plans, the products and finishes chosen and the cost. At this stage, you are under no obligation to continue, but our goal is to create a space that you will love and will fit within your budget. Ask all the questions you need to. We want you to make an informed decision and be confident with your choice. ![custom renovations accurate quotes](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "expect quote - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## **STEP 4: EXECUTE** #### Teamwork + Diligence Your renovation is making its way through our talented team from Design to Installation, and you will be included and briefed along the way! ![home renovations project coordinator](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "home reno expect PC - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![gateway team](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "cabinetry winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen design winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "kitchen cabinets winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![kitchen cabinets winnipeg bathroom](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "cabinets winnipeg - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Once you have signed a contract and agreed to proceed, the Gateway Team gets to work. Your plans are finalized, products are ordered, trades are scheduled and work begins. We begin demolition in your home and the project starts to come together. You will be assigned a Project Coordinator who will be on site regularly to keep tabs on the work being completed and our scheduling department will work hard to make sure the job is completed as efficiently as possible. We understand how disruptive a renovation is, and we do what we can to make it as easy as possible for you, so always feel free to reach out if you have concerns or questions as we go. You will be given a list of all the phone numbers of Gateway Team members assigned to your project who can help. ### Stay on top of each step of your renovation with the Gateway Live Calendar! While we do provide regular notices from our Scheduling Department, your calendar will update live with any delivery, trade or payment date changes, so you never need to worry about missing a step. You will be provided with a dedicated link to access your calendar as soon as your renovation begins. ![001 live calendar](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTIwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjIwIDkyMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "001 Live Calendar - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![floating shelves](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iOTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDkwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "custom kitchen 042 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## How you can prepare: Familiarize yourself with your contact sheet and keep it handy somewhere (or put all the contact info in your phone). Read through our [Customer Information ](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Gateway-Customer-Info-1.pdf)[Sheet](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Gateway-Customer-Info-1.pdf) that discusses some of the details you’ll need to know about access, scheduling, trades, and installations (even some tips on how to handle pets during a reno). Make a plan for how you’ll use your home during the renovation. For example, if you’re taking out your kitchen, how will you make dinner? [(Read our Kitchen Renovation Survival Guide for some tips on this)](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/kitchen-renovation-survival-guide/). A major renovation takes time, so establishing a reno-free zone, a makeshift kitchen area if needed, or figuring out how your family can share one [bathroom while the other is renovated](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/bathroom-renovation-faq/) are smart plans to think of ahead of time. Prepare for something to go wrong. While we always do everything in our power to keep your project running smoothly, a large-scale renovation has a lot of moving parts, and a large number of people, trades and companies we rely on. It doesn’t take much of a disruption to that chain to cause issues. We are always keeping our eye on what is happening in hopes of adjusting and mitigating before small delays become big ones, but it’s smart to be prepared. We have also seen many circumstances where, upon opening a wall, we find surprises that neither we, nor the homeowner could have foreseen. Sometimes we find old electrical fixtures that needs to be replaced or plumbing issues that would cause big problems if you added that extra sink. We’re happy to help fix these problems when they arise, but it may knock us off schedule or cause an increase in cost. Plan some breaks for yourself. If you’re looking down the barrel of 8-10 weeks of mess and disruption in your home, figure out how to take some time away. The renovation process can be long, messy, and difficult to live in, and your mental health is a priority for us too! We are fully equipped to keep everything running and allow you some time for yourself. Go to the cottage, plan a staycation, go to a spa or take nice long walks. It’s ok! We’ve got you covered. ## **STEP 5: CELEBRATE** #### Joy + Reflection The project is complete and we’re here to celebrate with you! Any suggestions you can make to improve our process are welcome as we reflect, reassess and refine. It’s the day we’ve all been working so hard toward! Your renovation is complete and you can have your home back to yourself again. It’s a happy day for all of us and one of our favourite parts of the job is walking through the space with our clients and doing a final assessment. This is also your opportunity to tell us what we did well and give us suggestions on how to improve. Like a busy renovation, Gateway is a work in progress and we’re always looking for ways to get better at what we do. ![custom renovation kitchen](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "reno exepect celebrate - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Are you considering a home renovation and want to talk to a member of our team?

Explore all the exciting features available as you plan your bathroom project. Heated floors, rain shower heads, freestanding bathtubs, stone countertops, hardware that gleams like jewelry, and tile for every style–your bathroom can be a sanctuary fit for pampering. It’s time to give yourself that gift. Whether you are looking for a complete bathroom overhaul or a simple refresh, [we can help!](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/contact/) To get you started here are a few tips to help! #### Plan for flattering lighting No one wants unflattering lighting in the bathroom. Multiple lighting sources at different heights plus an abundance of natural light in a bathroom make everyone look their best. #### Make sure there are outlets where you need them Be clever about outlets and make sure you know what you need and where you need it. Take a quick inventory of the products you’ll need to plug in before you start so you’re ready to go! #### Add more storage No matter how much storage you think you need, try to tuck in a little extra! More space is easier to keep organized and you’ll be happier in the long run if you don’t suddenly find yourself out of room. With our custom bathroom design we can help you find nooks and niches you may not have thought of. #### Remember your guests If guests will be using your space, give them a bit of thought too. What might they need, and is it handy for them? #### Think about your decor items Not every decor item is bathroom friendly, so be thoughtful when you choose items to decorate your new space. Find artwork, baskets or knick-knacks that suit your style AND the sometimes pretty humid atmostphere.

The factors involved to estimate + set a budget. How much does a renovation cost? Be honest. You were a little nervous clicking on this page, weren’t you? It’s the big question everyone has before starting a major renovation. “What does a renovation cost?” Now it’s our turn to be honest. Our answer to the question is “it depends”. (While this page explains the factors that contribute to the cost of a renovation, [we also wrote a blog article about this very topic where you can see an actual quote for a simulated project, read it here](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/what-does-a-kitchen-renovation-cost/)) ![kitchen renovations winnipeg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "custom kitchen 016 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") There are SO MANY factors that can change the renovation cost of your project, so it’s next to impossible to even give ranges… but what we CAN do, is give you a really good idea of what those factors are so you can take a look at your home, take a look at your budget and that list of “wants” and get a better idea and help you calculate and estimate where your renovation might land. ## LABOUR COSTS Labour costs take the largest chunk out of your renovation budget. Skilled trades don’t come cheap, and while the benefits of having a trained set of eyes on your project can speed up the process and save you money in the long run, it’s often a major cost. Tradespeople (plumbers, electricians, tilers, installers, drywall and patching pros, painters, etc) are efficient and can spot problems for you that you may not have known about. While many of the tasks they do can be tackled by a confident do-it-yourself type, this approach can make scheduling difficult, and you can run the risk of delaying your project and incurring extra costs if you end up not happy with your own work. Major home renovations have dozens of moving parts that all need to run smoothly in order to be as efficient as possible and get your renovation completed within the budgeted timeline. At Gateway, we have an entire department dedicated to that task. Each renovation project has a schedule that is constantly shifting and updating as the renovation progresses, and our tradespeople follow the calendar and shift from job to job as needed. A delay in your project may mean the next steps can’t happen when they were supposed to, and the tradespeople waiting for their job may have to move to another project, delaying yours even more. ![labour costs home renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation cost labour 02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![labour costs home renovation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation cost labour - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ### **Some ways to reduce the labour costs of a renovation project:** #### Minimize your changes This sounds silly since the whole point of your renovation is to make changes, but there’s some strategy involved. In the case of a dated kitchen, for example… while it might seem tempting to move all your appliances and fixtures to different places for a fresh new look, it might not be necessary. Take a good hard look at the flow of your kitchen and if the main function still works, it will drop your costs if you don’t need to move all the electrical and plumbing. This saves money or frees up some space in your budget for some of those special add-ins (under-cabinet lighting, home automation, extra outlets or light fixtures) #### Be strategic and realistic about DIY Mid-renovation is not the right time to learn new skills. That said, if you have skills, there’s no reason you can’t put them to use. You don’t need to pay someone to install that new big-screen TV or paint the walls if you’re confident doing it yourself, and that can save you money. Know your abilities, be honest and clear about them, and we can work with you to keep the budget tight. ![cost renovation kitchen home](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMDc0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjI1NjAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMDc0IDI1NjAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "kitchen reno expect 02 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## STRUCTURAL CHANGES Want to take out a wall? Bump your living room space out into the yard with an added sun-room? Maybe add a patio door or some bigger windows? All great ideas, but be prepared for the cost! Making structural changes to a house can be expensive and sometimes tricky to complete. Know the bones of your home (If you’ve got original plans, even better!), like where your load-bearing walls are (the walls that hold up the load of the roof or additional levels) and take inventory of where the plumbing, HVAC and electrical services are located in your walls and floor. This pre-planning will minimize surprises and you’ll be able to get a pretty decent idea of how much it will cost to make the big change you’re looking for. Be aware that when you make big changes like this there can be both big risks and big rewards. Depending on who has lived in your house before you and what changes they have made, it’s not uncommon to find issues you weren’t expecting. Always try to budget a bit of a slush fund if you’re planning on structural changes. That said, the rewards as far as the resale value of your home, and all the benefits of making your space exactly what you want can be HUGE. ## SIZE AND COMPLEXITY It almost goes without saying that the size and complexity of the space you’re renovating will have a big effect on the cost of the renovation, but it needed to be on the list. Even a small, simple kitchen renovation can be costly because it’s naturally the most complicated space, and the number of cabinets, fixtures and services are always high. Factor into your budget calculations what you are trying to change and how much of it there is. A large living room space doesn’t have appliances or complicated cabinetry, but you’ll need a lot of flooring to cover a large space. If you know what the main components are of your renovation, you’ll be able to figure out a budget that will work. Bringing in accurate measurements and pictures when you schedule an appointment with us is extremely helpful in this area when we’re trying to establish the renovation costs. The more information we have… the better! ![home renovation costs budgeting estimate](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation cost size large - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![home renovation costs budgeting space](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation cost size small - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![cost of custom or stock cabinetry](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation cost cabinetry - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## CUSTOM vs STOCK CABINETRY It’s tempting to make everything custom, and it can definitely lead to spectacular results, but the cost of building custom cabinetry for every area can add up quickly. Take a good look at your space, and make a list of needs and wants, and let our designers put the pieces together. Because we build our cabinetry in-house, it’s not difficult to design your kitchen or bathroom with a mix of stock sizes and custom pieces to perfectly suit your space and how you plan to use it! [(Read more about the different types of cabinetry in our blog post)](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/level-up-choosing-the-best-type-of-custom-cabinets-for-you/) ## FINISHES + FIXTURES This is an area in which you have a lot of control over your budget. There are finishes and fixtures for every budget imaginable, the trick is to not let your wants swallow your needs. It’s really easy to get swept up in all the beautiful additions there are on offer, but little cost increases here and there add up very quickly. Be smart about choosing your tile, your flooring, your light fixtures etc. There’s no need to choose only the cheapest options (or the most expensive), instead make thoughtful choices and use your money where it will have the biggest impact. Our designers are great at finding options for any budget and can offer suggestions on ways to save if you need. If you love the look of marble countertops but aren’t loving the price tag or the maintenance, speak up! There are lots of quartz options available that can give you a similar look for a much lower cost, and are virtually maintenance-free! ![renovation costs finishes fixtures](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzg3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDc4NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation cost fixtures - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ![appliances home renovation cost](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "renovation cost appliances1 - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") ## APPLIANCES Kitchens are one of the most expensive rooms to renovate and appliances are one of the renovation costs that can add up. It’s also an area you can control. If your budget allows for the best appliances, and you know you’re going to want that built-in double oven and that incredible fridge, go for it! Purchasing quality appliances makes for a more pleasurable and beautiful experience in your kitchen. If your budget is tighter, be more strategic about what you’d like (and can afford) to spend on appliances, watch for deals, set a budget and stick to it. ## OUR #1 TIP FOR DETERMINING RENOVATION COSTS: Be honest with us about what you want to spend, but even more so, be honest with yourself! We don’t want you to bite off more than you can chew, and we have the experience to put all these factors together and know very quickly if your budget is feasible. We know it feels strange to start the process off by telling us what you’d like to spend, but it’s so important for our designers to have a baseline to start with. If we can get you what you want and come in under budget, we’re thrilled to be able to do that! We hope this page helped you as you start making your [renovation budget](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/toolbox/what-does-a-kitchen-renovation-cost/) plan. We know it would probably be easier if we could just give you cold, hard numbers, but hopefully understanding all the factors that go into the cost of a renovation will clarify why it’s almost impossible.

This starts with assembling a strong team for you. Complete the quiz below so we can get started! Please use your real name so we can match your results to your project. Thanks! 95What's Your Renovation Personality? Please use your real name so we can match you to your scheduled appointment: 1 / 9 What is most important to you when it comes to a renovation design? It’s beautiful and creative. I can see myself in it and can’t wait to explore it. My thoughts and ideas were taken into account, and our collaboration made it perfect. Everything I asked for is represented. It looks and works the way I thought it would. The design will function well, uses all available space wisely and will fit with the character of my home. 2 / 9 At Gateway, communication is important, but everyone communicates a little differently. Which of the following best represents you: I want to feel heard and that you understand my feelings. I want to build a relationship where we work together, celebrating victories and solving problems as a team. It’s all in the details. Calendars, notifications, information packages – the more information the better. I’m happy to defer to experience. I may need extra time to settle on my own opinions but a good working relationship is important to me. What gets measured gets managed. I want to be kept regularly informed and consulted as the project progresses. You’ll always know what I need because I’ll tell you. 3 / 9 What is your biggest fear about tackling a home renovation? I’m confident in my plans and budget, but I’m concerned about picking the wrong company to execute them and ending up with problems. I’m not great with change, and renovations can be overwhelming, so living in the middle of a renovation makes me nervous. I’m worried I’ll have trouble narrowing down what I want from all the available options. I like things to follow a tidy, predictable, and logical pattern so I’m worried that there will be surprises I didn't account for. 4 / 9 At Gateway, we love the excitement of a new project. What most excites you about your upcoming renovation? I’m excited by the challenge. It feels like an enormous puzzle. I’m excited for the collaboration. I’m looking forward to putting our heads together, finding the best ideas and building something extraordinary. I’m excited for the adventure—watching the project unfold before my eyes into something beautiful. I’m excited to see my plans become reality, and enjoy the success of a beautiful, finished space. 5 / 9 We want to respect your budget at any level. How did you decide on your budget? Budget? What budget? I want to see the possibilities and go from there. I’ve researched the market price of my home, average renovation costs, and decided on a budget that seemed manageable and appropriate. I have a rough idea of what I’d like to spend but I’m still flexible on the final number. I’m confident I know how much it will cost and I’ve set a firm budget to work from. 6 / 9 Major home renovations require making a lot of choices. What’s your normal decision-making process? I try to pick but often go back and forth a few times before settling on the answer that feels right. I think about the available options and pick the best one. I consider my options, ask others for their opinions, and make a choice from there. I research all the available options and make the most logical choice. 7 / 9 Gateway is with you through thick and thin. What do you think will be the hardest part of this project? Making sure everyone follows through and everything is completed to my standards. I’m concerned about how messy a reno can be. I’m not looking forward to the disruption in my home. Living though the renovation will be tough on me. I’m not great with deadlines and staying on top of the schedule may be difficult. 8 / 9 Teamwork makes the dream work! What’s your collaboration style? I work well with people, I’m not scared of expressing myself and going with the flow. Teamwork can be difficult for me if others don’t care as much about details as I do. I’ve been told I’m a born leader. I enjoy being in the driver’s seat of a project. I love being part of a team, though sometimes I don’t push my own ideas as much as I should. 9 / 9 High standards are important to us. What are the top 3 factors you think will make for a perfect renovation? Easy collaboration, hard work and minimal disruption Precision craftsmanship, detailed communication, and cleanliness. Competence, organization and top-notch project management. Inspiring design, great working relationships and beautiful execution. --- ### [Copyright Notice](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/copyright-notice/) **Published:** July 20, 2022 **Author:** Jessica Gollub **Content:** # Gateway Kitchen + Bath Copyright Notice *Last Updated on 07/20/2022.

Because it was going to be used mainly as a short-term vacation rental, it was important to have enough storage for the basic necessities, but not be an overwhelming part of the living space. The owners wanted a kitchen design that was modern and minimalist but also fit into the raw, natural surroundings. We went with a dark and highly durable finish on the cabinets, and accented them with a more rustic, solid wood, live-edge dining table. The kitchen looks out toward the treeline through large open windows that, together with the high ceilings, maximize the openness of the space, in spite of its relatively small footprint.

Consisting of primarily white cabinets, it was the first to use our new custom stain colour “Whiskey” (pictured on maple cabinets). The design features a custom range hood, hidden cabinets in the island, a built-in wine rack and a built-in docking station drawer for charging your devices. Custom interior design has the benefit of allowing you to add touches that are unique to your family and function in a way that is best for you.

The original kitchen had a peninsula which made the working space feel tight and closed-off and the kitchen has load-bearing walls that run on the diagonal (pictured below) ![home design](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTAwIDYwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Home Design - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") To balance the asymmetry of the design, this area was built to symmetrical perfection. What used to be a stand-alone dining room now features a large island with seating for four and a custom built-in with open display shelves, a coffee station and extra storage. The large pendant lights illuminate the island and add drama to the design. When faced with unique or difficult layouts, custom interior design and cabinetry excel. Our Design Team was able to take the challenges presented and create an open and stunning kitchen the homeowners love, maximizing storage without missing out on style.

Featuring a waterfall detail on the island and lots of accent lighting, the design focuses on functional storage, ample countertop and seating, and a simple but bold aesthetic. Adding glass cabinet doors to flank the drink/coffee station on the far wall created space to display glassware and added a visual detail to break up the expanse of cabinets. Putting lighting inside makes it pop and accents the overall symmetry of the design.

With a simple colour palette, white kitchens feel fresh, light and clean, but simple doesn’t always mean “easy to design”. When conceptualizing a white kitchen that has a showstopping presence like this one, additional care needs to be taken to balance shapes and textures so the final product has as much visual interest as its more colourful counterparts. In this large, open-concept kitchen, there is no shortage of thoughtful detail, tons of functional storage and a style that is cohesive with the rest of the home.

There’s something about renovating that stirs the soul. A fresh start, new opportunities, and exciting possibilities. Your home is one of the biggest investments most people make, and it should be your sanctuary–a reflection of your style and lifestyle. Too often we settle, we make do. What if we explored the ideas beyond just living in our homes, instead, transforming them into a space that feels like home the moment you step through the door. Renovation is a lot of work… but nothing incredible ever comes from standing still. ![kitchen trends 2024 layered lighting](https://www.gatewaycabinets.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Kitchen-trends-2024-layered-lighting.jpg "Kitchen Trends 2024 Layered Lighting - Gateway Kitchen + Bath") Homes come in every size, and every season of life is different. Whether you are embarking on a high-end renovation to sell your home and capitalize on your investment, moving into your forever home, or updating your current space to take it from suitable to spectacular… a custom renovation can be just what you need. Our job is to work with you, understand your ideas and goals, and help you build your space exactly how you imagined it. While we specialize in kitchens and bathrooms, and are known for our custom cabinetry, the Gateway Team can help you plan and execute a renovation throughout your home. We offer talented designers, tailored project management, and detailed scheduling. As an added bonus we work with many trusted tradespeople and suppliers.
