Nazareth, PA, January 7, 2022
Kitchen Magic, a leading Northeast kitchen design firm, reports a noteworthy year that spans new technical advances, industry awards, a signature product launch, and new partnerships.
Here's a rundown of the news highlights from Kitchen Magic in 2021.
- Newly available to clients of Kitchen Magic in 2021, the advanced digital Visualizer Tool brings homeowners a digital glimpse of remodeling ideas and layout before finalizing a new kitchen design. Users can choose a layout, color, and style simulation for their kitchen alongside a Kitchen Magic design consultant during a pre-project consultation or on their website. The advanced visualization technology enables customers and staff to configure, see, and experience design choices in a life-like, digital environment. As homeowners have spent more time in their homes and in their kitchens, kitchen design as we knew it has changed forever.
- In March 2021, Kitchen Magic earned "2021 Best of Houzz" for Design and Service. It is the tenth time the family-owned and operated firm was recognized by Houzz, a leading home renovation and design platform. Kitchen Magic, founded in 1979, stood out among more than 2.5 million active home building, remodeling, and design industry professionals.
- In April, three Kitchen Magic design staff members earned advanced kitchen and bath industry certifications from the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). Suzi Dia and Chuck Jones, serving New Jersey, and Mike Wharton, of Pennsylvania, attained Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) titles from NKBA.
- January 2022 marks Kitchen Magic's six-month mark of their year-long partnership with the National Forest Foundation (NFF). "Reface. Replant. Rejoice,” the tree-planting reforestation project promises five trees are planted for every kitchen remodeled by Kitchen Magic, accumulating a goal of 10,000 trees from June 2021 until June 2022. Right on target as of December 2021, 4,400 trees have been donated. "The NFF partnership is significant in 2021-2022, due to wood shortages, supply chain problems, tariffs, and other hardships," notes Linda Fennessy, Public Relations Manager. Fennessy adds, less than one tree is required to reface a kitchen, which, over the course of a year saves thousands of trees”.
- A new Signature Hardware Collection was born when Kitchen Magic's product development experts collaborated with the design and manufacturing team at Amerock®. Inspired to meet the demand for the latest trends in kitchen design, the private label collection launched October 2021 and features beautiful hardware products of fresh designs and the finest materials.
