Selecting Appliances with Style from Home Designer, Keffie Lancaster

Appliances keffie lancasterHome-Tech has wonderful professional relationships with many interior designers, architects and contractors in Southwest Florida.  Many of our customers are  likely to purchase appliances by the recommendation of their designer, contractor or the brands their friends and neighbors are recommended. Therefore,  we are pleased to introduce one of our very good friends, Keffie Lancaster, Associate ASID of Lancaster Interior Design in Sarasota. Keffie’s specialities include interior/exterior design, remodeling advice, window treatments, special event decor, staging, custom painting and faux finishings.

 

What are you seeing as the current trends in kitchen design?

Functional spaces and lots of room for friends and family! No matter the size of your home, guests always end up in the kitchen. I have noticed a shift lately, and I am designing less muli-level eating areas with bar stools and bar areas. The trend now is to create more room to work in the kitchen.  Many people have less square footage allocated to formal living spaces and choose to utilize their kitchen to display china and collectibles in glass cabinets.  Lighting and cabinetry made from reclaimed and recycled materials is also very high in demand.

appliances kitchens interior designWhat appliances, from your customers, seem to be in the most demand?

Energy-saving appliances, stainless steel appliances, and sleek designs.

Are you seeing more or less stainless steel?

I think stainless steel will always be in demand.  It goes with all styles of cabinets, matches many flooring types and is very timeless.  Second to stainless would have to be black.  I did hear a rumor that colored appliances are making a comeback, however!

Have you had any requests for redoing a laundry room?

Yes all the time!  Laundry rooms are more multi-functional than they used to be.  Families tend to need lots of work space in the laundry room.  A nice flat surface for folding, bins for organizing, and hanging space for drying clothes are all becoming important design elements. I always like to paint bright colors or hang a fun paper on the walls in the laundry room.  Let’s face it, no one wants to be in there.  Anything you can do to make it enjoyable could and should be done!

What advice can you give to a person trying to redo their kitchen on a budget?

We all have a number in mind when we start a project.  Some are big and some are small, but you can stretch your budget to make it work.  Figure out what items you might be able to do yourself, make a list of priorities, and make a list of wants and needs. Let’s just say you recently had new cabinets and floor installed in your kitchen. A corner you can cut would be to reuse your counter tops and paint them yourself.

Appliances for the kitchen interior designI always recommend accessing what will give you the best return on your investment.  New appliances and cabinets are great for resale and increase the value of your home. My favorite DIY, super budget-friendly kitchen re-do  is a fresh coat of paint on your cabinets, some new hardware and a great new wall color.

How do you feel about mixing and matching finishes?

I love the idea of mixing and matching finishes!  Too much of one finish can be overwhelming, especially in a very large kitchen.  I really like to have a contrasting finish and counter top on the island,  if there is one.  I also love glass front cabinets with colored backs to highlight glassware or collectables in the cabinet, or better yet mirrored backs, my ultimate favorite!

I also am partial to layered finishes with depth and multi-toned wood.  Zebra wood and exotics are always fun, if you can work them in the budget.

 

Do a lot of your customers have custom cabinetry on their appliances?

Not as much anymore because of the trend towards stainless steel appliances.  My personal preference is paneled fronts on doors of refrigerators and dishwashers whenever possible.

Appliance Prizes Galore at Home-Tech Open House

appliance giveaway

Home-Tech showed its support for our Service Agreement customers and community leaders by rewarding attendees with the ultimate in appliance prizes: a drawing for a new washer and dryer set AND a full kitchen set that included a refrigerator, range, microwave and dishwasher.

Getting our customers into the celebratory spirit was easy.  We brought out all of the fan favorites like Plinko and the Wheel Spin, providing ample discounts, rewards, gifts and prizes to all of our attendees.  In order to have a Wheel Spin, a customer must have purchased an appliance that day.  To play Plinko, a customer had to purchase a dishwasher.  Now, we know what you are thinking- a dishwasher is an appliance. CORRECT, therefore, after playing Plinko, the dishwasher purchaser also had the chance to do a Wheel Spin too, receiving even deeper discounts.

If a customer purchased a kitchen package, they could pop one of the “prize balloons” that were placed in the kitchen set areas.  Inside of those balloons were discounts, free appliances, and other desirable goodies a kitchen purchaser would have wanted.

AC and Appliance Company’s Lakewood Ranch Store Grand Opening

AC and Appliance Company’s Lakewood Ranch Store Grand Opening

Home-Tech Hosts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Brunch for Community Officials in New Lakewood Ranch Showroom

AC Ribbon Cutting

On Thursday, May 17, Home-Tech proudly opened the doors of its 10,400 sf. Showroom during an official Open House and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.  At 8:30 am, Steve Marino, Founder and President of Home-Tech, alongside Manatee County Commissioners Donna Hayes, Carol Whitmore and Robin DiSabatino, the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, cut the ceremonial ribbon with a giant pair of scissors.  Our contractor, Manasota Commercial Construction, who built our beautiful Lakewood Ranch showroom, was there to share in the celebration.

WATCH THE RIBBON CUTTING VIDEO

The Home-Tech employee-owners were especially proud of this moment.  “It had been a long time coming, and to see this day finally happen was a joyful moment for all of us,” said Corporate Sales Director, Mike Hendershott.  “More than six years of planning went into this Sarasota/Manatee location.”

Following the ribbon cutting, the County Commissioners had a question and answer session with CEO, Steve Marino.  They were quite curious about our employee ownership program, which is very unique to this area.

Working AC Units - See and ”Feel the Difference”

AC unitsThe event was an excellent way to showcase Home-Tech’s leadership in the AC field.  Steve Marino addressed this by saying, “Home-Tech is different from other AC companies in this area.  We want to educate our customers about the difference between AC systems so they can make a wise choice.  A large part of the new Showroom has been designated to showcase the different brands of AC that we sell.  Our customers can come in and compare the difference between 3 working AC systems and air handlers.”  The guests of the Open House were quite fascinated by the systems.  One of the guests commented that it was great to see what the air handlers actually looked like and how the plumbing was set up on them.  It gave her an idea of which would fit the best in her home.

Of course, all of the brand new appliances in the working kitchens were a big hit too.  Our Service Agreement customers were invited to attend, and many of them had no idea we carried brands like Thermador, Bosch, Whirlpool Electrolux, Maytag, KitchenAid, LG, Samsung and more.  They had fun strolling down Refrigerator Row and Laundy Lane.  In each area of the showroom, informative videos played, teaching our customers about the many special features of these brands.

We wish to thank our friends in the community for attending:
