Monday, October 8, 2018  |  Homes

It’s no secret that the kitchen is a make or break room when shopping for a new build Florida home. From foodies to baking aficionados, a comfortable cooking space is a top priority.

But what makes a gourmet kitchen truly luxurious? Which features add the “wow” factor Florida home buyers are looking for? What should you be looking for when browsing floor plans and what upgrades should you consider when piecing together your Florida dream home?

To get you started, let’s look at 3 of the trendiest kitchen design tips for 2018.

The Durability of Quartz Countertops

Technological advances in manufacturing are changing the way we think about quartz countertops. One of the hardest minerals on Earth, engineered quartz now offers the natural beauty of granite or marble with distinct benefits.

  • Stain & scratch resistant.
  • Nonporous, so they never need sealing. Bacteria, mold and mildew cannot penetrate the resin binder.
  • Available in a wide variety of colors, patterns and styles, so they are not limited to the hues & designs found naturally.

Gorgeous Custom Backsplash

What was once there merely to protect wallpaper or paint from the splattering of food has slowly become one of the focal features of the kitchen. A dynamic tile backsplash can transform the look and feel of the kitchen without the need for extravagant details.

The model homes at Neal Communities are typically outfitted with stunning custom backsplashes to showcase how important this upgrade is for overall kitchen design. At the Neal Communities Design Gallery you’ll discover a wide variety of backsplash options to suit every style and budget.
