Statement Lighting Fixtures
The Magic of Fabric Pendants
Fabric pendant lights add a soft, cozy feel, creating warmth without overwhelming the space. Our team of two designers can guide you to styles that balance both elegance and functionality, making your kitchen glow.
Ornate Lighting for a Touch of Luxury
Ornate lighting styles are on the rise for those looking to add character and class. These lights blend old-world charm with modern aesthetics, giving your kitchen a beautiful focal point.
Geometric Fixtures for a Bold Look
For a contemporary touch, geometric light fixtures are the way to go. These can be used to highlight specific areas, like an island or a cozy breakfast nook, with shapes that bring visual interest and modernity to your kitchen.
We specialize in creating spaces with personality and know how to incorporate unique light fixtures into your kitchen remodel to add both function and charm.
The “Dirty Kitchen”: A Practical, Family-Friendly Design
In remodeling, a "dirty kitchen" is an additional cooking space where most of the heavy-duty cooking happens. Although your mother may not have raised you to keep a “dirty kitchen,” we promise this trend is a lifesaver for big families and those who love hosting gatherings. Here’s why it’s becoming one of 2025's hottest features:
A Separate Space for Messy Prep
In a dirty kitchen, you can handle everything from chopping to marinating, keeping the main kitchen clean and guest-ready.
Reduces Clutter in the Main Kitchen
With storage and workstations in the dirty kitchen, counters in the main area stay clutter-free.
Ideal for Big Families
Families that cook together know the value of extra counter space! Dirty kitchens allow the main kitchen to remain open for socializing.
Easier to Maintain Cleanliness
With one space for heavy-duty cooking, cleaning is a breeze, allowing the main kitchen to stay spotless and organized.
Versatility for Home Entertaining
Perfect for those who enjoy hosting, the dirty kitchen makes it easy to prep meals out of sight, keeping the main kitchen ready for guests.
Our team brings years of expertise to help families decide how to best utilize their kitchen spaces, from main cooking areas to a practical dirty kitchen setup.
Discreet Storage and Hidden Appliances
Keeping your kitchen sleek without compromising storage space or functionality is a top trend in 2025. With custom cabinetry and paneling, appliances and storage units blend seamlessly with your cabinets, creating a uniform look.
Stylish and Practical Dining Furniture
Furniture that doubles as storage keeps the room streamlined while still offering space for everything. Think benches with storage, stylish cabinetry, or even a built-in hutch.
Panel-Ready Appliances
Appliances that match your cabinetry make for a smooth, uninterrupted kitchen aesthetic. Our team can guide you through appliance options that integrate beautifully into your kitchen.

Artistic Backsplashes
Backsplashes are the new canvas for self-expression in 2025 kitchens. A well-designed backsplash can create a pop of color or a focal point that reflects your style.
Hand-Painted Tiles for a Personal Touch
Hand-painted tiles are an artful way to add character to your kitchen. Our designers can help you pick colors and patterns that bring just the right touch of personality.
Bold Patterns and Color Blends
Combining different textures and colors in a single backsplash is a growing trend. Bold patterns add a bit of drama to your space, creating a talking point for guests.
Metal and Glass Backsplashes
For a modern or industrial feel, metal and glass options are stunning and unique. They’re also durable and easy to clean.
We believe that kitchen design should reflect your style, and our finish carpentry skills allow us to create a perfectly tailored backsplash that complements your overall aesthetic.
Craft Your Dream Kitchen in Color
Kitchens are moving away from monochrome in 2025, with colorful options making a strong comeback. Incorporating color brings warmth and vitality to your kitchen, making it feel inviting and fun.
Playful Cabinets
Cabinets in colors like red and yellow can add an unexpected and welcoming feel. These vibrant choices liven up the space and add energy to the kitchen.
Sophisticated Greens
Green is gaining popularity as a color for entire kitchens, from cabinets to islands. It brings a natural, earthy tone that fits seamlessly into both modern and traditional kitchens.
Our expert team can help you find the perfect color palette to bring your kitchen to life, creating a welcoming environment that’s as vibrant as your family.
Beautiful Range Hoods
Range hoods are an essential feature in any kitchen, but they’ve taken on new life as a design statement. This year, a unique range of hoods is front and center in kitchen trends.
Steel Range Hoods for an Industrial Edge
Steel range hoods offer a clean, industrial look that pairs well with a minimalist design. They’re durable and bring a professional feel to any kitchen.
Plaster Range Hoods with a Timeless Look
Plaster is making a comeback, adding a classic European charm. This option is perfect for a softer, more organic aesthetic.
Gold Accents for a Touch of Glam
For a hint of luxury, gold-accented range hoods are popular. They add warmth and elegance, turning a functional feature into a glamorous focal point.
At Chagrin River Company, our design-build expertise allows us to customize range hoods to fit seamlessly within your vision.
Warm Wood Elements In Your Kitchen Remodel
For those who love a cozy kitchen, warm woods are making a comeback in 2025. This trend ties in beautifully with the craftsman style, bringing a rich, welcoming feel to any kitchen.
Warm Wood Cabinets
Cabinets in rich wood tones bring timeless beauty and durability, perfect for a cozy and classic look.
Wooden Floors That Add Charm
Wooden floors are a great choice for a traditional look that stands up to daily use and adds warmth underfoot.
Dining Tables with Character
A wooden dining table acts as the centerpiece of a warm, family-oriented kitchen. It's an ideal choice for gathering spaces, from family dinners to holiday celebrations.
