The Kitchen Work Triangle, Reimagined: How Today’s Families Really Cook

Sebring Design Build For years, kitchen design revolved around a single golden rule: the work triangle. If the stove, sink, and refrigerator formed a neat three-point path, your kitchen was considered efficient and functional. The theory made sense in its time. Kitchens were small, cooking was a one-person job, and the main appliances were limited to those three. But walk into almost any home today, and you’ll notice how different things are. Families don’t just cook in their kitchens anymore—they gather, entertain, multitask, and live in them. The kitchen has become the center of the home, a place [...]

The Remodeler’s Guide to Lighting Layers: Task, Ambient, Accent, and Natural Light

Remodelers who want their work to stand out treat lighting not as an afterthought, but as a central part of the design plan. The secret is layering. Just as an interior designer layers textures, colors, and patterns to create [...]

Why Storage Should Be Designed, Not Added: Built-In Solutions That Work

Sebring Design Build When people think about remodeling, they often picture finishes first. The countertops in the kitchen. The tile in the bathroom. The paint color in the living room. But one of the most powerful elements of a remodel—one that determines whether a home feels organized or chaotic—isn’t something most homeowners think about until they realize they’re drowning in clutter: storage. Too often, storage is handled reactively. A family notices shoes piling up in the mudroom, so they buy a row of hooks. The kitchen counters start looking like a yard sale, so they add a rolling [...]

When to Move Walls—and When to Trick-Out What You Have
