Architectural Justice manufactures the metal product line at its Medina location, which includes a showroom for people to see how it looks in a concept kitchen. It also offers full service interior design, and he notes that the trend is leaning more toward elegance than industrial. Justice also adds that cabinet designs are moving away from ornate patterns. “We see a little swing back to wards some natural woods but with a more modern look,” he says. “The trend is moving away from the tradi tional stuff, which has a lot of edging. In a modern look, you may have flush doors and things like that.”

Like other details in the kitchen, flooring trends are also changing. Engineered products that are as good as natural wood are in, and you often can’t tell the difference between engi neered and solid hardwood. “A lot of flooring is still the really wide plank. But it is engineered hard wood. [Manufacturers] have changed the way they’re making high-end flooring; they’re actu ally cutting it like a real plank on a sawmill. Justice recommends that customers who are think ing of remodeling take photos of their kitchen and talk with design experts.

“We work through the entire design, creating 3D render ings with their budget in mind,” he says. “Then they can move forward completely

with us or partially. Usually, we end up doing the entire job, nine times out of 10.”
