Explore Kitchen Designs in Our Rockville Showroom
Your first step is making an appointment to visit our 3,000-square-foot showroom. One of our experienced designers will walk you through our model kitchens so you can see first-hand all the various kitchen design elements you’ll be considering for your remodel, including:
- Cabinetry: Do you prefer framed or frameless cabinets? Inset doors or overlays? Semi-custom, custom, or furniture-grade?
- Countertops: From quartz to granite to marble, your countertops should suit your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic.
- Flooring: You can choose from porcelain tile, wood, luxury vinyl, manufactured wood, and ceramic tile (see the Architectural Ceramics store next door).
- Seating: Banquet seating in a kitchen nook conserves space while affording comfortable functionality.
- Kitchen islands: Today’s kitchen islands are mega multitaskers, accommodating dishwashers, sinks, microwaves, seating, and counter space.
- Lighting: From pendants to ambient, accent, and task lighting, we’ve got the selection you need to outfit your kitchen in style.

Popular Kitchen Design Trends
Today’s kitchens strike a perfect balance of form and function for modern living. The open-concept kitchen is still in high demand, serving many functions, from food prep and mealtime to homework and relaxing in front of the TV.
At Signature Kitchens Additions & Baths, our team is passionate about helping you realize your perfect kitchen by providing you with a complete range of options, from the most cutting-edge materials and modern kitchens to tried-and-true traditional. The most noteworthy kitchen trends of late include:
- Minimal upper cabinetry: Wall-to-wall cabinetry is becoming less popular. Today’s stylish kitchens feature a clever mix of storage solutions, including open shelves, plate racks, and lower cabinets.
- Bespoke pieces: Today’s best kitchens feature one or two “antique” pieces of furniture, from country armoires to farm tables, to add warmth and depth.
- Big slab backsplash/stacked tile: Yesterday’s staggered subway tile has been replaced with either stacked tile or dramatic slabs of granite, quartz, or marble.
- High-tech appliances: This trend speaks for itself!
- Pops of color: For a bit of vibrance, choose one area, such as the kitchen island or stove alcove.
- Clever storage (and more of it!): You can never have too much storage.
- Recessed lighting: Simple and discreet recessed lighting keeps your kitchen illuminated without competing with other design features.
Kitchen Island Height & Design
No matter what options you select for your design, your kitchen island is a focal point in your home. It’s a space you’ll likely use multiple times a day, so it’s important to consider its specifications. Your kitchen island height can have several effects on your kitchen overall.
- Aesthetics: The height you choose for your kitchen island affects its appearance. Do you prefer an island that stands out or one that blends in with the height of your other counters?
- Functionality: Different island heights affect the ease of the tasks you might perform around the kitchen in your day-to-day life.
- Usability: The height of your kitchen island might affect its usability. Do you have specific accessibility needs? Do you have kids who will use the island or many tall people who need a higher surface to work with?
The average height for a kitchen island is 36 inches. If you’re looking at a bar-height island, that’s a standard of 42 inches. You should also consider the style of island you’d like, such as:
- Single-level: Islands with a single level offer a seamless aesthetic and are excellent if you need as much space as possible for food prep or a serving area.
- Dual-level: You can also opt for a dual-level island, with one part counter-height and the other bar-height for a seating and eating area.
- Custom solutions: If standard kitchen island design options don’t quite meet your needs, we can design a solution that incorporates your lifestyle and aesthetic needs.
Choosing the right kitchen island design can greatly impact how your kitchen looks and functions. For more information, detailed insights, and inspiration for your unique kitchen island style, visit our in-depth blog: Kitchen Island Design: One Level or Two?
