The Disappearing Kitchen Reappers!

Before the trend towards stainless-steel appliances, high-end refrigerators could be accessorized with replaceable door panels that matched kitchen cabinet panelling. Recently this visual treatment has been reappearing, as it is becoming an integral component of what's sometimes referred to as the invisible kitchen. The concept involves choosing elements such as flooring, wall coverings, and lighting with similar or identical decorative surfaces. This provides seamless uninterrupted sightlines across the kitchen, dining room and living areas to create the illusion of more space. 

For example, imagine cupboards with floor-to-ceiling doors that match the wall panels and have no visible handles. Or, consider extending the finish of the kitchen or island countertop (e.g., granite or marble) to the side walls of the cabinetry and onto the floor, presuming the material is compatible for multi-purpose use. To help deflect the visual evidence of appliances, many kitchen designers now select reflective oven doors and smooth-surface cooktops with recessed knobs.

GTA REALTORS Release March 2025 Stats

Homeownership in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) became more affordable in March 2025 compared to the previous year. On average, both borrowing costs and home prices have declined over the past year, making monthly payments more manageable for households looking to buy a home. “Homeownership has become more affordable over the past 12 months, and we expect further rate cuts this spring. Buyers will also benefit from increased choice, giving them greater negotiating power. Once consumers feel confident in the economy and their job security, home buying activity should improve,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Elechia Barry-Sproule. “Given the current trade uncertainty and the upcoming federal election, many households are likely taking a wait-and-see approach to home buying.
