The modern family moves quickly and needs a kitchen that fits everyone’s busy lifestyles.

Zach Nolte, the director of operations at Kitchen Solvers, says the home improvement franchise is on track with today’s trends, which include a modern design look with warm neutral colors, clean lines and a super functional space. After a busy day at work, people like to come home and find everything organized, he said. The last thing they need is a kitchen that doesn’t work for them.

“Charging stations in the kitchen are becoming very common. We’re seeing the term ‘smart kitchens’ crop up more often. Functionality is very important,” he said. “The kitchen needs to be more efficient and help people stay organized. Kitchens are the centerpiece of the home. They are a real entertainment hub these days for people who like to entertain.”

The kitchen, of course, should be a comfortable, inviting place, “where people can stand around and talk and socialize while cooking and eating,” Nolte said. “People love to congregate in kitchens. Whenever there’s a party, people always seem to end up in the kitchen.”

After Kitchen Solvers transforms a family’s kitchen, “We like to make it shine and encourage them to show off their kitchens with a great party.”

Storage solutions are one way that today’s kitchens are getting even smarter. Roll-out shelves and built-in spice cabinets help keep things organized and make cooking a breeze.

Another popular trend is striking back splashes, he said.

“People are getting creative with that. These back splashes are functional but also really cool looking. The materials, the designs are unique and make the kitchen a real showplace.”

The company’s franchisees work closely with people to fulfill their desires, such as using sustainable materials, if that’s important to them.

“You see some people concerned about that. Some customers are interested in using reclaimed wood or bamboo, for example,” Nolte said.

Kitchen Solvers tries mightily to fulfill all wishes, he said.

“We rarely say no to people. We rarely say we can’t do it. We have textured foils and materials and rare woods,” he said. “If you are in Wisconsin and want a Packers logo emblazoned on your cabinets, we can do that. We have a broad spectrum of products.”

Kitchen Solvers oversees the process from start to finish, ensuring the most efficient, hassle-free experience possible. Customers quickly gain confidence in the process from the collaborative consultation, extensive product knowledge and commitment to quality craftsmanship, he said.

No surprises, no worries.
