A Pretty Drop Spot

Junk drop in kitchenAre you tired of charging cords everywhere and things piling up on your counter? A junk drop or drop spot has become a recent trend in home organization. It’s usually a shelf, drawers, cabinetry or a combo of all of the above located in an entry way or a corner spot in your kitchen.

If you’re wondering what this area will be for, think school paperwork, keys, mail, or a family calendar. Whether you are living alone or sharing your home with your spouse and kids, you should design your drop spot for how you plan on using it.

“A drop spot doesn’t have to be purely functional or look like an afterthought, we can design it to be attractive and blend in with the rest of your cabinetry or fixtures,” said Normandy Designer Laura Barber, AKBD. “We all have stuff, so why not plan a spot for it?”

A drop spot doesn’t have to be tucked away out of sight; in fact, it should ideally be somewhere you pass frequently or a common area in your home with access for everyone. A must have feature has become a charging station for keeping all your electronic devices ready to go. Once you figure out how much storage you need and other features you want, you’ll realize it may just make your life easier.

If you’re thinking about a new kitchen, you can set up a time with Laura to talk about the possibilities. You can also learn more about additions, kitchens or other remodeling projects at an upcoming workshop.

Bold, Blue, and Beautiful

But with the right shade and use, it can breathe life into your kitchen and provide a great feeling for your soul. Blue prompts the feeling of peace, relaxation, expansiveness and quiet – just like the sky and ocean.

Cabinets in a beautiful blue hue, can make a chic and elegant statement in your kitchen. If it makes you nervous, all of your cabinets don’t have to be blue, just pick a section, such as your island. It will help it stand out and you can complement it with white cabinets in the rest of the space.

So, don’t be afraid, it’s just a little color. When you have a spacious kitchen, you want it to be cozy, warm and welcoming, and a pop of blue is the perfect shade to accomplish this.
