Kitchen & Bathroom Design Blog

In our latest blog exploring local design trends, we venture back to historic Newtown, Pennsylvania to look at the trends influencing local kitchen design.

Granite Countertops

Granite countertops are a beautiful addition to any Newtown kitchen remodel. Granite is incredibly durable and will stand up well to everyday wear and tear. It’s also heat and stain resistant, making it an appealing choice for homeowners who love to cook!

Lang’s Kitchen & Bath has installed numerous granite countertops for our local clients. This transitional kitchen design in Newtown below left features a stunning honed brass blue granite countertop.

Cabinet Lighting

Under cabinet lighting provides the Newtown homeowner with function and decoration, helping reduce shadows to enhance visibility or to maintain a certain ambiance. In addition, it is an effective way to reduce your energy footprint. The bulbs used in these fixtures burn cooler and utilize less power than traditional light bulbs.

This alluring kitchen includes both under cabinet lighting, which highlights the white cabinetry, and in cabinet lighting to showcase some of the homeowners more decorative dishware.

Under cabinet lighting was also added to this kitchen design to enhance the ambience in this entertainer’s kitchen.

Chimney Hoods

One of the most important appliances in the kitchen is the hood. This device is installed above the oven and uses a fan or blower to capture heat and odors that result from cooking. Including a chimney hood in your kitchen renovation will improve the overall air quality and keep you comfortable while you cook, while also enhancing the style of your space.

Lang’s designers incorporated a sleek, stainless steel chimney hood into this white and grey kitchen design. Visit our design gallery to see more chimney hoods that are popular with Bucks County homeowners.

Charging Stations

Lang’s frequently installs charging stations into Newtown kitchens and home offices. As smart phones and tablets have become so integral to our daily lives, charging stations offer a distinct place to recharge batteries and store all your cords and adapters, ensuring your kitchen countertops remain clear from clutter!

Islands

Kitchen islands are one of the best investments to include in your kitchen remodel. Besides offering tons of additional storage for all of your favorite handheld appliances AND extra cooking/prep space, islands also offer the homeowner extra seating options. It’s the perfect place to plop down for a quick bite or for guests to perch while you cook. One of the coolest things about a kitchen island is they don’t have to be fixed to a specific spot. Throw some wheels on this bad boy and move it to the spot that works best for you in that moment! 

Islands are popping up more than ever in Newtown kitchens. A large white island, with seating for four, is the main focal point in this kitchen. It also features a microwave, sink, and plenty of storage!

The island in this white and grey space features an intriguing round table top for dining.

This island functions as the kitchen table and includes a wood butcher block, a warming drawer, and a microwave.
