We understand that cabinets can make or break the entire aesthetic of your home. Because there is an array of cabinetry on the market, choosing the right fit for your home can be overwhelming. We aim to educate you on all the unique styles and finishes of Kraftmaid Wood Cabinets, so you feel confident in your design choices.

Step 1: Room Selection

Kraftmaid Wood Cabinets are primarily used in kitchens or bathrooms where they double as storage areas and decorative pieces caressed with intentional detail. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to these typical areas. These cabinets are universal, suitable for any room in your home.

Step 2: The Woods

Just like any other aspect of interior design, there are several customizable choices. For cabinets, you must start but selecting the wood to use for your Kraftmaid Wood Cabinets, keeping in mind that each adds its inherent personality. Our artisanal professionals work with you to make sure these cabinets mesh seamlessly with the design you have in mind.

Alder: The Industrial Medium

Have a home with a more rustic, industrial soul? The Alder wood option features robustness ranging from pale pink to deep brown, detailed with knotholes, burls, and mineral streaks for the look of intentional craftiness.

Cherry: The Deep Reddish

Mirroring the likeness of a cherry, the Cherry woods’ reddish-brown color is married with a smooth, straight grain, adding depth to any room.

Maple: The Sweet & Creamy

The Maple wood is defined by its off-white color swirled with golden tones. Sweet like maple syrup, this wood offers a consistent, fine grain for smoothness and uniformity.

Hickory: The Dramatic 

Just like the bold taste of hickory, the Hickory wood candidate compliments any room with pronounced random grain patterns, burls, and knots.

Oak: The Traditionalist

Akin to the classic Oaktree, the Oakwood cabinet selection infuses a wavy-grained rich range of browns popular in traditional styles.

As always, when working with natural materials, it is important to remember that the wood you choose is ever-changing. For most, this aged wood result is coveted.

Step 3: Finish off Nicely

The finishes to your Kraftmaid Wood Cabinets are the biggest influence on their overall look. Each product is finished using Durakraft™ Plus Finishing System, a 14-step layering process ideal for durability.

Paint

Finishing your cabinets with paint is a great way to cover the natural grain wood and add uniformity to your home. Layered with three coats of hand-applied, catalyzed enamel paint, your cabinets’ look will be long-lasting. Want a color we don’t have? We offer you the ability to select any paint on the market with our ColorMatch™ system and to customize any color by adding hand-painted highlights for your charm.

Translucent

Get the pop of paint coloring while retaining the beauty of the natural wood textures. The translucent finish offers your room subtle sleekness and texture. It is one of our many finishes that utilizes the Suede DuraKraft™ top coat for a matte finish.

Stains

The only kind of stains you want on your cabinets! The stain finishes we offer are one of the most popular, as we hand rub each door, a feature that is uniquely us. The stains range from subtle to dramatically brushed, then flooded with glaze, and hand-highlighted, making no two doors the same.

Distress

Get a timeless distressed feel without the stress! Distress finishes mimic coveted dents, dings, and imperfections of reclaimed wood. The look of these features is further dramatized by a darkening stain and softer, matte topcoat.

Vintage

Charm any home with the look of a well-loved cabinet. We over-sand, exposing the natural wood underneath, creating a vibrant heirloom effect.

Weathered

Get the wear and tear vibe without the actual damage. Your cabinets will look like they’ve been exposed to the elements by using a dry brush technique. The soft, matte finish enhances the linear accents for a timeworn appearance.

Aged

Aging your new cabinets by distressing and over-sanding the wood, opens up their antique character. A glaze is then poured over for a crisp, clean finish evoking a rustic personality.

During the upcoming summer, or even just on sunny days, you might find yourself spending most of your time in your sunroom or patio. The more time you spend in these spaces, the more you are aware of the improvements you could make to upgrade the design. When you’re revamping your sunroom or patio, you should start with the foundation of the room: the flooring. The flooring you choose for a sunroom or covered patio can set the stage for whichever vibe you want to create. With tile, stone, and hardwood flooring from Richmond Decorating, you can create a natural feel with durable options.

As a sort of gateway connecting the inside of your home with the outdoors, the interior design concept for your sunroom will most likely include natural materials and finishes. You can build the foundation for this concept easily with natural hardwood or stone flooring. From there, you can customize and choose your favorite type to make the space your own.

There are two main types of hardwood flooring. The first is one hundred percent solid wood, often called solid hardwood. This natural material needs to be attached to a subfloor, and it is very sensitive to temperature changes and moisture. This means if you want a natural wood look in your sunroom, you might want to avoid solid hardwood. On the other engineered hardwood consists of multiple layers of solid wood put together in a cross-ply construction. This makes the material more resistant to varying conditions and can be more easily installed in a variety of spaces since it can be stapled, glued or just floated.

Of course, not all natural woods are the same. Some are soft and supple, while others are stiff and firm. When it comes to choosing a natural hardwood for your flooring, you need to consider the traffic and environment of the room. Since your sunroom is often exposed to different temperatures, you should consider a harder wood. Oak, ash, and maple are popular choices that look great while offering extra durability.

While hardwood flooring can last in a busy space, tile and stone options often offer a little more peace of mind when it comes to durability. With a variety of types, you can choose a natural sunroom vibe or an elegant, upscale space. Porcelain and granite flooring are excellent options for a busy space such as a sunroom. Both styles are durable, and porcelain’s density makes it a great option that can withstand a lot of moisture. For an upscale, high-class design, you can opt for marble flooring which is known for its durability and strength. Both granite and marble offer the added benefit of natural colors that can fit an assortment of designs.

As you spend more time in your sunroom taking advantage of the warmth and brightness of summer, you want to feel comfortable and happy with your space. By upgrading your sunroom or patio with flooring from Richmond Decorating, you can build a foundation for a natural vibe. Located in Richmond and Glen Allen, Virginia, we serve the surrounding area including The Fan, The West End, and the southside of Richmond. Contact us today to schedule a consultation!

Hardwood Floors

When you come into our gallery, one of our experts will help you understand all of your hardwood flooring options and all of the important things to consider when making your final decision. A few things of note include hardwood type, species, color, width, edge detail, finish, and installation. Choosing a hardwood type most importantly depends on the kind of subfloor in your home. Our 100% solid wood option is best for a wooden subfloor, while our engineered hardwood is a good option for most subfloors. Always take this into consideration as you want the best bonding possible between the subfloor and hardwood.

Consider the type of species of hardwood you want in your home as they vary in durability and appearance. Color is also an incredibly important decision regarding the lighting conditions of your home. Board width is more a design choice than anything, so definitely make sure to consider how the size of planks will fit within the design of your home. Edge width, finish, and installation are all more design choices regarding how they’ll fit into the entire design of your home. It’s your home, so let’s design it well!

Sharing our lives with other people brings joy and fulfillment. When we welcome others into our homes, we want them to feel comfortable, safe and content. How we design our spaces can determine how visitors feel when they first enter a house. Lighter yellows and browns as well as wood tones can feel warm and comforting, so integrating these into your entertaining spaces can make your guests feel at ease. One way to add warm tones to a space is by using wood around your windows. Richmond Decorating has a variety of window treatment options to help make your home a more welcoming space.

You might associate blinds with traditional neutral-toned metal materials, but wood blinds from Hunter Douglas are an easy way to add warmth to your home while allowing for light filtration. Built with genuine hardwood slats, Parkland® blinds complement any room with a rich, traditional appearance. They are available in a variety of finishes, so you can mix and match to fit other wood accents within your home. You can also select from three different slat sizes. Choose the smaller slat size for more of a filtered appearance or pick the larger slat size for increased spacing and more light between each slat.

There is nothing like new carpet! The smell, the feel, and the comfort of new carpet just feels luxurious, doesn’t it? New carpet can make a room feel warm and inviting, calm and relaxed. We at Richmond Decorating know that you’ve got a lot on your plate right now with your living room doubling as a school and boardroom or your bedroom doubling as an office. You’ve got a lot going on and probably a few worries on your plate. Outdated carpet shouldn’t be one of them. No matter how big the space or how odd the angles of your room, we can help you feel right at home with custom carpet for every space in your home.

When you step into our showroom at either our Richmond or Glen Allen location, we will help you find the right carpet. So that we can find the best carpet for your home, we’ll start off by asking a few questions about your personal style, how each room is used, the amount of foot traffic, and the kind of mood you are trying to set for your home. Then, we will help you figure out what kind of texture and construction would be best for your needs. Next, we will talk you through some padding options. We’ll always recommend our thickest padding for your home for a few simple reasons: padding provides the best comfort and support for tired feet, padding protects your carpet, and, ultimately, padding supports the longevity of your carpet. To help you find the best custom carpet for your home, we at Richmond Decorating offer incredible options from top shelf sources including Shaw Floors, Mohawk Floors, Beaulieu, Smartstrand, and Wear-Dated.

What happens in your home when the remote control to the TV is misplaced? Chances are everyone searches trying to find it because we all enjoy the modern convenience of not having to get up and walk to the TV to adjust the volume or channel. If you’ve upgraded your devices, you might even use a mobile app on your phone to control your TV to enjoy even greater convenience. So many of these items help us accomplish tasks that seem relatively minor, but when we lose that convenience, we are extremely frustrated. Our time is valuable, so if the technology exists, why not take advantage of it? We at Richmond Decorating believe that modern technology can enhance our lives, and that is why we carry window treatments equipped with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation.

PowerView® Automation is an award-winning operating system for window treatments. PowerView® won the Red Dot Product Design Award in 2018, which is an award that celebrates innovation and quality in design. This operating system is wireless, eliminating the need for long cords and cables that can pose a threat to your pets and children. Most window treatments with this system are battery-powered, which makes them easy to install and maintain. This battery pack is hidden behind the headrail, so your window’s appearance remains tidy. The system is all tied together with the PowerView Hub, which connects your window treatments through your WiFi network and enables you to control them easily. If you have a larger home or window treatments in different rooms with walls blocking the signal, the PowerView Repeater can extend the Hub’s signal throughout your home.
