Simplicité Kitchen

In these tough economic times of lay offs and business closings, many people are being forced into learning a valuable lesson. That lesson is that less is often more. With the high flying business era in the 80s and the Dot Com boom that followed, many people began to work longer hours. In doing so, they left behind valuable family or personal time in search of more money and additional possessions. Bigger cars – SUVs and Hummers – began crowding the roads. Larger, new houses began popping up in suburbia, leaving the rental market packed with empty houses. People began buying more and more fashionable clothes at higher and higher prices.

With the large number of people out of work, and many others with less working hours, people are seeking out a less expensive way of living. A simpler way of life. They are trading in that gas-guzzler for something that is a little more fuel efficient. Rental homes are becoming scarce and the house prices are plummeting. Many people are shopping at discount stores and refurbishing things found at garage sales. With their spare time, people are rediscovering hobbies like sewing and woodworking, and they are creating useful items for their homes that otherwise would have been purchased.

This “less is more” ideology is sweeping the nation as even those who are not in danger of unemployment find the joy in living simply. Owning less “stuff” offers the opportunity for greater organization and higher quality items.

Simplicite from Today’s Kitchen offers a minimalist design for a clean, organized modern kitchen. Designed by Wm Ohs kitchen and cabinet design company, this transitional kitchen breaks away from the ornate to rely on the simplicity of marble, stainless steel, and horizontally grained woods such as beech, white oak, mahogany, or walnut. Simplicite proves that less truly is more.
