Signs that it’s Time to Remodel Your Kitchen
Fiberpol Inc has the pleasure of serving our customers in Barbados with the finest kitchen remodels available! If you’re wondering if now is the time to go for that kitchen remodel, we’d like to provide you with a list of the most common problems that homeowners face in regards to their kitchens. If any of these problems sound familiar, then it’s time to call us to schedule your free consultation and let us get started on making your old kitchen into your new dream kitchen!
Dysfunctional Layout
If you’ve ever been trying to cook or prepare a meal in your kitchen and find yourself needing to sidestep your spouse or kids, set up appliances awkwardly, or simply don’t feel that the flow of the kitchen works, you may have a dysfunctional layout. Many homes are built with the best of intentions, only to have a kitchen that is lacking in natural design. Your kitchen is focused on three main functional elements — your oven, your sink, and your refrigerator. When your kitchen flow isn’t natural when moving between these elements, your kitchen needs a redesign.
Outdated or Malfunctioning Appliances
You may have learned to live with appliances that are less than perfect. However, the continued use of an appliance that is working incorrectly could potentially do more harm than good. If you wait for a finicky appliance to fail before replacing it, it could end up damaging your kitchen, making for costly repairs on top of the need to remodel! Investing in a functional kitchen will make your home a much happier place than trying to maintain a failing kitchen system.
Hosting in Your Kitchen is Difficult
For most families, the kitchen is the heart of the home. You love to invite friends and family over, make a delicious meal, and talk around the kitchen. However, when your kitchen is just not aptly suited for hosting, it can turn these family events into a real headache. Even smaller kitchens can be optimized to accommodate hosting. Older homes had a tendency to close off the kitchen from the rest of the floorplan. Nowadays, the trend is to open up the floorplan, allowing for more flow, movement, and freedom to mingle with guests as you prepare food and drink in the kitchen. Remodeling your kitchen can be a big step towards turning your house into a home and not just a building where you sleep and eat.
Storage Problems
This one is straightforward. Perhaps you’ve outgrown your kitchen space or there was never enough space to begin with. If it is a struggle to find a home for all of your kitchen gadgets and supplies, remodeling could be your best solution. Starting fresh with a new plan for optimizing storage will make your life so much easier.
If any of these issues ring true for your kitchen, call us today and schedule a free consultation. Our design experts can give you insight into all of the ways you can get the kitchen you’ve always dreamed of!
Modern Kitchen Ideas
Modern kitchens are popular when it comes to kitchen design trends. Modern kitchens focus on clean lines, simple styles, and designs that utilize available space to create a highly-functional, aesthetically pleasing kitchen. If you’re not sure how to design and build a modern kitchen, you’re in luck! Continue reading as we share some design ideas that you may want to consider.
Open Concept Kitchens
If you are one who loves cooking yet still wants to be a part of the conversations happening in other parts of the house, you’ll want your new kitchen design to have an open layout concept. Better yet, an open kitchen layout can improve the overall feel of your home and it can also make your kitchen feel more comfortable to work in. With an open concept, there are no doors or walls that divide the kitchen from the rest of your home. Typically, open kitchens and the living room are combined. This layout is great if you enjoy hosting gatherings with friends and family. You can still cook while enjoying conversation with others in the area.
Minimalistic Aesthetic
With a minimalistic design, you can achieve a basic kitchen that still has the aesthetically-pleasing look you have always dreamed of in a kitchen. By following this approach, your kitchen should include the essentials and whatever it is that you really need in your cooking space. Additionally, with this simplistic design, you’ll want to stick to certain color palettes, such as white or grey in order to achieve that look of simplicity. Having too many colors can make your kitchen appear too “busy”. When planning your kitchen remodeling project, consider a clean, white kitchen with accent colors added in here and there. Fixtures should be changed so that they complement the kitchen style that you are looking for.
Industrial Style Kitchen
If you want your kitchen to be different, consider going the industrial route. This can be achieved simply by adding elements of stainless steel, like the kitchen appliances. Brick and reclaimed wood are other materials that can also be used in an industrial setting. Additionally, open shelving fits well with the industrial setting.
Innovative Integrations
If you really want to have the ultimate modern kitchen, it shouldn’t stop with the design. There are now a variety of smart appliances available that have incredible modern technological innovations. There are even kitchen appliances that can even be controlled using applications on your smartphone. Touch-screen refrigerators, multi-purpose ovens, and app-controlled coffee makers are just a few of the many smart kitchen appliances you can incorporate into your new kitchen

Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Kitchen Cabinets
A large percentage of your kitchen is occupied by cabinet space, which means the form and function of your cabinets can have a major impact on the effectiveness of your kitchen space. Fiberpol would like to explore some options with you for how we can help you optimize your cabinets with a kitchen remodel here in Barbados.
Choose from a Variety of Colors/Patterns
Choosing the color of your cabinets is one of the simplest, most effective methods for brightening up your kitchen. Consider even including more than one color in your design for either the top or bottom cabinets, or for the cabinets on your island space. There is a lot of potential for interesting color combinations and contrasting hues, making your kitchen space alluring and aesthetically pleasing! We can help you come up with color palettes that work well for your space based on your individual desires.
Add Accent Lighting
When you get creative with your lighting, you can completely alter the atmosphere of your kitchen. Installing lighting under or over your cabinets can make your kitchen literally glow, and provide ample lighting for all of your meal prepping, drink mixing, and entertaining purposes! You can even make these lights dimmable, allowing you to adjust the light intensity depending on the situation for which you are entertaining.
Go Minimal
Perhaps the answer to your cabinet conundrum is that less is more! Explore the design potential in minimizing your cabinets or cabinet doors. Perhaps you have a collection of stoneware or china that you want to show off to visitors, or you’re proud of your extensive kitchen cookware. This provides plenty of opportunities for guests to visually explore your unique tastes and interests, sparking conversation and connection! The openness of the cabinets can also add an airy quality to your kitchen, freeing up space and letting it breathe.
Go Classy with Glass
Maybe wood or laminate cabinetry isn’t what you want. Perhaps you like the design potential in using glass inserts in your cabinet doors. Glass is very versatile, giving you the option between different opacities and textures. At Fiberpol we provide glass inserts which allow you to have clear glass, frosted glass and laminate glass! Couple glass inserts with interior cabinet lighting, and you could really be onto something great with your kitchen cabinet design. Our kitchen experts would be more than happy to help you brainstorm ideas for adding glass to your kitchen cabinet design!
Incorporate Roll-Out Shelving & Other Smart Features
On top of your kitchen looking great, you will ideally have a very functional space as well. Roll-out shelving can be the solution you’re looking for, especially if you have a lot of kitchen cookware and gadgets that you need to store. Roll-out shelving allows for easy access to items that you normally would need to get down on your hands and knees to reach, usually knocking into pots and pans in the process. Let your kitchen’s features work for you and not against you with handy design features like roll-out shelving! You’ll be thanking yourself for not neglecting functionality in your kitchen design. Besides our roll out shelving we have tons of other smart features that would complement & increase the functionality of your cabinets. Some of these features include the smart corner, spice rack, lazy susan and many more!
Hardware Selection
Switching to Fiberpol cabinets doesn’t stop at selecting a colour and door style. As simple as it may seem, choosing the right handles for your cabinets is a critical part of the selection process, as selecting the wrong handles can take away from the overall aesthetic of the cabinets. With a wide variety of handle options at Fiberpol we guarantee you will definitely find a look and style that’s best suited for your kitchen! You may also consider getting rid of visible hardware altogether and going for sleek, handle-free cabinet design. Fiberpol excels at helping customers come up with great ideas for cabinet hardware!
How Granite Countertops Benefit Your Kitchen
Are you fed up with your kitchen countertops? Maybe they’re outdated, perhaps they’re made out of a material that you don’t love, or you’re just tired of the look they give your kitchen. These are all good reasons to consider making a switch to granite countertops! Read on to learn how making the switch to granite can benefit your home and kitchen.
Increase the Value of Your Kitchen
While adding granite may not increase the overall monetary value of your home by much, the appeal of granite is an outstanding selling point, should you ever consider selling your home. When potential buyers see granite countertops, they automatically know that your kitchen is a quality kitchen.
Incredible Durability
Laminate countertops can become marred, scratched, scuffed, and dented over time. This is unavoidable if you ever plan on using your kitchen. Making the switch to granite, however, means that you’ll be using a durable stone material that is nearly unmatched in its strength. The toughness of granite makes it almost impossible to unintentionally chip, scratch, or scuff. When granite is supplemented with a sealer, you will have countertops that last generations with minimal maintenance.
Granite is Fixable
While it is incredibly durable, it’s not impossible that granite could scratch or chip unintentionally. When this happens to laminate, you’re out of luck. With granite, however, granite chips can be fixed with special putties, then resealed, making your granite countertop as good as new. Because of this, you can rest easy knowing that, in the unlikely event that your granite does chip or scratch, it’s not the worst thing in the world. The professionals at Fiberpol know granite inside and out, and are able to handle this exact situation should it ever occur.
Each Piece of Granite is Unique
With every slab coming unique in its own identity, granite offers authentic, compelling patterns in each slab, delivering elements such as; natural beauty, the perception of warmth, depth, and texture. The natural beauty of granite can enable it to serve as the centerpiece of any kitchen, becoming the focal point for all those who traverse the kitchen area. If you’re considering making the switch to granite countertops, contact us today at Fiberpol in Barbados! You can schedule a free consultation, where we’ll answer any questions you have about granite and the possibilities for your kitchen!
