At Sasen Homes, 

• Creating a Sense of Space
  • In Vancouver, Metro-Vancouver, smaller spaces are common.  
  • Designing white kitchens creates a sense of space so that the addition of smaller appliances does not clutter the much-needed counter spaces for preparing meals or for entertainment.
• Convenience & Clean
  • Bright, White Kitchens and the matching appliances that go with them are usually easy to maintain and clean
  • Fashionably appliance trends include a splash of colour but the mass production of metal and stainless steel may lose its lustre, whereas white has staying power.
• Playing with Light
  • Add various light fixtures such as a feature light and/or rope LED lights under or above cabinets 
  • See our Pinterest board on Lighting Ideas
