Kitchen Styles/Designs – LaGrange, Hinsdale, Western Springs, Carol Stream, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton & MORE

We all have kitchens…but, we don’t all have the same tastes. This is why homes have such different kitchen styles and designs. Your kitchen is an essential part of your home, if not the most important room of the house, actually. You cook and bake great meals and yummy treats for your family in the kitchen. You probably host little get togethers in there as well and I’m sure you have enjoyed a cup of tea, coffee or hot cocoa while conversing with a loved one. Regardless of what you do in your kitchen, it’s important that it’s not only useful but that you enjoy being in the room and with the design of it.

Traditional vs. Modern – typically the main difference in kitchens today. What is your choice?

Traditional kitchens usually have a lot of wood finishes, lots of classic patterns, pale/muted colors, floral (most of the time), and always has a “homey” feeling to it. Traditional kitchens are often referred to as “cute” in design and comfortable, of course!

Modern kitchens are a bit different. They have smart appliances, are usually very geometric in design, lack so many wood finishes, a lot of cabinet space to hide appliances, utensils, glasses, etc., and has a very tidy and sleek look to it. Modern kitchens are often referred to as “stylish” and “sophisticated.”

Now, just because you like one style more than the other does not necessarily mean that you have to only have aspects from one. It’s YOUR kitchen, do what you want with it! The important thing to always remember is regardless of what your tastes are compared to what is “popular” or “trendy,” it’s your kitchen and should be a reflection of what your personality is!

Spring is around the corner, which means it’s the perfect time to start planning your remodel/redesign projects! Let DeSitter help you! Call or Visit one of our showrooms today to start making your dream room a reality!

Carpeting & Your Furry Friends – Carol Stream, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, LaGrange, Hinsdale, Western Springs & MORE !

Nowadays, many people have pets in their homes. However, they’re not simply “just” pets, they are part of the family and are loved greatly! Just like when you have children, you have to take into consideration the fact that you have pets when making important decisions for your home. Flooring is no exception.

A lot of things come to mind when considering what type of flooring will be best for your home, even more so when you have pets to consider. With pets comes a lot of responsibility and some issues to keep in mind when considering what type of flooring will work best with them. For example, do you want carpeting but are afraid of accidents with puppy potty training or kitties and their litter boxes? How about hairballs and bone residue? How about their fur shedding? People often stray away from carpeting when they have their furry friends because of these issues and they are drawn toward other flooring products, such as hardwood, tile or lvt. While it may seem like the best choice, you will also have concerns with those too, such as the animals having long claws and nails and doing damage to the floor, and possibly hurting themselves.

There’s a product that may put your pet worries at ease with carpeting: Stainmaster PetProtect! Stainmaster products have built-in stain resistance that will NOT wash off or out! Their products also have a breathable moisture barrier that helps prevent any spills from seeping into the padding and floor and allows for a much better cleaning. Lastly, Stainmaster PetProtect carpet reduces the attraction between its carpet fibers and pet hair, making it much, much easier to vacuum up regularly and leaving much less behind!

Don’t shy away from purchasing new carpeting due to having furry friends in your home, simply check out Stainmaster PetProtect products so that all of your family may enjoy! Contact DeSitter to learn more and start shopping today!
