Countertops
Countertops are an important part of any kitchen, and they can be made from a wide variety of materials. Granite is a popular choice because it’s durable and easy to clean. Marble is another option that’s versatile enough to complement most home styles. If you have an existing kitchen, consider updating the countertops. This can save time and money while still giving your kitchen a fresh look. If you’re adding on or building new, then choose your countertop material based on the overall design theme for your room as well as the desired functionality & durability you want in your kitchen. New countertops offer the opportunity to create lots of storage space underneath by having drawers built into their base—great for storing baking pans and cookie sheets so they’re out of sight but still accessible when needed.
Basement Renovations
Basement renovations are a great way to add value to your home. The basement is an often-overlooked space, but it can be transformed into a wonderful living area that’s even better than the average bedroom. It can also boost the overall square footage of your home with minimal effort and cost. Basements are also a great area for entertaining and many homeowners opt to add a bar area with new countertops, or an entertainment system featuring custom cabinetry. Your basement can also be the perfect area for countless hobbies like crafting, woodworking, botany, and more. If you’re thinking about how you can revamp your basement or just need more storage space, then renovating your basement would be perfect for you!
Open Your Floor Plan
If you’re looking to open up your home, start by opening up its floor plan. An open floor plan can make a smaller space seem larger and can be the perfect solution for busy families. It’s also great for entertaining, whether it’s with family or friends. Open floor plans are also ideal if you want to create a more cohesive look throughout your home, especially when paired with open shelving and other design elements that promote natural light flow. A simple way to incorporate an open floor plan is by removing walls dividing one room from another (or at least reducing them) so that there isn’t as much visual clutter between rooms. It’s a good idea to install new custom flooring to ensure your open floor plan looks seamless and cohesive, too. You’ll be amazed at how an open floor plan can make your home more efficient during daily life, and even bring your family closer together!
