A German Kitchen for Every Bergen County Home: Design Ideas by Home Style
Bergen County offers a rich mix of homes: classic colonials, Tudors, new construction and older homes full of history. In every town, from Tenafly and Alpine to Englewood, Cresskill, Closter and Demarest, you will find them all. The good news is that a German kitchen suits every one of them. The secret is to design the kitchen around the home, not the other way around.
Colonial and Tudor Homes: A Kitchen That Respects Character
In classic homes, a modern shaker or transitional kitchen works beautifully: slim-framed doors, warm tones, slim handles and a stone or quartz countertop. The look blends with the character of the home, while inside you get every advantage of German kitchen cabinets: full extension drawers, soft-close hardware and smart storage.
New Construction and Open Plan Living: Your Kitchen Is Ready When Your Home Is
With new construction, there is no need to wait until the building is finished to start your kitchen. We design your kitchen from the architect's or builder's floor plans and send it to production in advance. That way, when your builder completes construction, your kitchen arrives right on time, without months of waiting.
In new homes, the kitchen is usually part of an open space with the living and dining areas. That is why we design it to look like fine furniture rather than a kitchen: handleless kitchen cabinets or a two-tone design, a central kitchen island, integrated LED lighting and panel-ready appliances hidden behind cabinet fronts. The same design can continue to the media wall and dining area for a cohesive, beautifully designed home.
Older Homes: We Know How to Handle Any Situation
Older homes often come with uneven walls, unlevel floors, varying ceiling heights and non-standard spaces. With our experience and techniques, we know how to solve any structural challenge: adjustable legs for leveling, custom filler panels, and cladding that conceals any imperfection. The result is a kitchen that looks perfect, as if it had always been part of the home.
The Family Kitchen: Smart Storage for Everyday Life
When the kitchen is the heart of the home, storage solutions matter most: pantry pull-outs, deep drawers for pots, a built-in waste and recycling system, and an island that works for breakfast and homework alike. Durable finishes such as anti-fingerprint lacquer keep your kitchen looking beautiful for years.
The Entertainer's Kitchen: Room for Everyone
For those who love to host, we design a large kitchen island with seating, a waterfall countertop, a wine refrigerator, a built-in coffee machine and lighting that sets the mood. Everything is planned so the host stays part of the conversation while cooking.
