15 Small-Bathroom Vanity Ideas That Rock Style and Storage

1. Custom-Made Vanity Bathrooms of all sizes require that you be smart with space planning. This is especially true in a small bathroom, where every inch counts. If you choose a vanity that doesn’t quite fit, you can end up wasting valuable space. For this bathroom in Toronto, interior designer Kate Dickson opted for a custom floating vanity, complete with a ledge that runs the length of the wall. The custom piece adds storage and counter space, and it fits the space perfectly. “It’s worth every penny in the long run,” Dickson says. 2. Floating Vanity In addition to being efficient with space planning, there are also design moves that can help create the illusion of a larger bathroom. “Floating the toilet and the vanity makes the room feel bigger by providing more visual space underneath,” says Susan Ozipko of sO Interiors, who designed this bathroom in Ottawa, Ontario. It also makes the floor easier to clean. Karhu Fine Cabinetry & Millwork fabricated the maple vanity, which is topped with a quartz counter. Towels and the wastebasket are stored inside the vanity, keeping visual clutter down. 3. Open Towel Shelf Wall-mounted sinks and counters are useful in small bathrooms, but they often lack the valuable storage that a hardworking small space needs. In this basement bathroom in Chevy Chase, Maryland, interior designer Melissa Cooley and project developer TJ Monahan of Case Design/Remodeling added a supported floating shelf beneath the counter. It maintains the open, light style of the bathroom while also providing valuable towel storage. 4. Repurposed Furniture Converting a midcentury modern cabinet isn’t the simplest bathroom vanity idea for a small bathroom, but it definitely will add drama to a space that has limited room to make a statement. “It looks fantastic and definitely has the character we were after,” says Tanya Mclean, who designed this bathroom in Vancouver, British Columbia, with Nichole Skladan. The pair runs Mango Design Co. Tips for converting a vanity: Mclean advises finding the piece of furniture you want to use and then designing the space around it. “It is very difficult to specify the appropriate sink and faucet when you don’t know the dimensions of the vanity,” she says. Sink dimensions in relation to the vanity and the faucet, along with spout reach and faucet height, are all factors you’ll need to know. 5. Custom Furniture-Like Vanity Similar to the previous photo, this small bathroom in San Jose, California, has a vanity that appears to be made from a midcentury modern piece of furniture. In reality, it’s actually a custom vanity designed to look like an antique dresser. By creating a custom vanity, the homeowner and designer Pamela Lin of Urbanism Designs were able to specify exactly what they wanted. This means personalized vanity storage, including an organizer for a hair dryer and curling iron. The hair tools are plugged in through the cabinet, so the homeowner can simply take them out of their holders and turn them on to use. 6. Built-In Lighting After browsing small-bathroom vanity ideas, the next challenge is figuring where to put everything around it, including lighting. For this bathroom in Atlanta, interior designer Michelle Fee built the lighting right into the vanity and mirror. “The electric mirror gives off plenty of lumens for task lighting without the need for an additional light fixture, which allowed us to maximize the mirror space,” she says. 7. Slim Sink and Washstand In a small bathroom in Pasadena, California, interior designer Marilynn Taylor of The Taylored Home replaced a pedestal sink with a new narrower sink and washstand. The retro look fits the bathroom’s 1930s style, and the shape better covers the wall of the bathroom while projecting out into the space less. The open shelf and drawer give the small space additional storage. 8. Corner Storage Placing the sink in a corner creates opportunity for more storage. In this bathroom in Santa Cruz, California, interior designer Christie Hausmann installed a custom wall-mount cabinet on the wall next to the sink, recessing it into the wall to keep the bathroom feeling open and uncluttered. Open shelving on the right displays more curated accessories, while cabinet doors on the left conceal less-decorative essentials, such as toilet paper. 9. Small Double-Sink Vanity You don’t need a large bathroom in order to have a double vanity, as this design in Washington, D.C., shows. Amy and Scott Herbert of Aesthetic Answers used one long, narrow sink and mounted a faucet on either end. The vanity is 60 inches long, running the length of the bathroom. The faucets sit at an angle on the side of the sink, as that was the only way the designers could fit everything into the space. 10. TV Console Double Vanity Here is another small bathroom double-vanity idea. Designer Michelle Schmauder of the Schmauder Group converted a TV console into a vanity for this small bathroom in Alexandria, Virginia. “This piece was easier to convert into a vanity in terms of plumbing, because we didn’t have to cut around drawers like we would have had to with a dresser,” Schmauder says. It also offers plenty of storage. 11. Matching Materials Small bathrooms often reside in small houses, so it can be good for creating a cohesive design (and be cost-effective) to keep the whole home in mind when designing the bathroom. In the case of this bathroom in Toronto, interior designer Paul Stewart of Projekt Home pulled in the same engineered-pin wood floors and used the same wood finish on the vanity as he did for the kitchen cabinets. “By simplifying and remaining consistent with materials, it gives the illusion of a larger space,” Stewart says. 12. Elegant Mirrored Vanity Mirrors are great design aids in small spaces — especially dark ones. They reflect light to create the illusion of a lighter and brighter space. In this bathroom makeover by Sharon Pett of Pett & Associates, a mirrored vanity adds elegance and reflects light to help make the space feel larger. 13. Drawers Instead of Doors In a small basement bathroom, light finishes help make the windowless space feel bright and airy. But the designers also made the most of this small space by placing the vanity all the way in the corner. Cabinet doors wouldn’t be able to fully open against the wall, but drawers do just fine. Storage baskets add even more storage. 14. Converted Sewing Machine Table Base ½ square feet (3 square meters), this bathroom designed by Nicole White in Miami Shores, Florida, is one of the smallest on the list. A custom sewing machine table base vanity might not be for everyone — and doesn’t offer the most in terms of storage — but it’s surely a creative one-of-a-kind design.

24 Bathroom Ideas, Because Even the Smallest One Should Feel Like an Oasis

It’s time to rethink your . While we tend to regard the loo as a pit stop on our way out the door, it’s also self-care HQ (everything from a 12-step skin-care routine to a eucalyptus-scented shower happens within those four walls). Therefore, the space, no matter how small, should feel like you. Bringing in as much personal style as possible will make it a place you actually want to be in, and maybe (emphasis on the maybe) you’ll want to stay long enough to actually brush your teeth for the full dentist-recommended two minutes.  Lucky for you, team Domino is always on the lookout for exciting ways to upgrade, from tiles to toilet seats. Here are the bathroom ideas that will get you one step closer to the home-spa vibe you’ve been dreaming of. 

Light It Up

Photography by Alyssa Rosenheck If your bathroom is looking a little sparse, install a fun light fixture to add character to the space without having to demo a thing. This chandelier from Lucent Lightshop in Elsie Larson’s Nashville home packs a punch in an otherwise minimalist room. 

Play With Pattern

Photography by Wynn Meyers If you identify as a maximalist, you probably think of walls as blank canvases just waiting to come alive. In other words, no monochrome painted walls for you. So why not go bold with eye-catching wallpaper like in Kim West’s Austin bathroom? It’s the ultimate combination of wacky (those retro colors!) and elegant, not to mention a game changer for mirror selfies.

Keep It Simple

Photography by Trevor Smith Your skin-care routine can only be so tranquil in a hectic space. Strip your bath down to the basics to summon a peaceful, grounded vibe. Malia Mau’s wood-paneled room in California’s Topanga Canyon is a no-frills yet welcoming haven perfect for any nature lover.

Go Brass or Go Home

Photography by Nicole Franzen It’s all in the accents, especially when you’re keeping the color scheme neutral. Use your bathroom’s hardware as an opportunity to make a bold statement. Susan and Ben Work’s exposed brass piping paired with matching mirrors and sconces gets the gold (brass?) medal.

Reimagine the Shower-Tub Combo

Photography by Jason Frank Rothenberg Our favorite walk-in showers have one thing in common: stand-alone tubs. Put a fresh spin on this traditional European bathroom look by opting for a sleek, self-care–worthy tub like this one in Garance Doré’s Los Angeles house. The best part about this double-duty arrangement? You don’t have to choose between a long and luxurious soak or a speedy scrub. Best of both worlds.

Welcome the Dramatic

Photography by Jennifer Hughes A jet-black vanity is sure to draw attention in juxtaposition to its white and mirrored surroundings. Touches of equally inky tile on the floor keep it from being too intense. A traditional yet bold his-and-hers.

Work Around the Quirks

photography by aaron bengochea We’ve never seen a shower so close to the stove, but a fun striped curtain and the step up make the unusual arrangement in this tranquil yogi’s apartment seem purposeful.

Downsize (Your Tile)

photography by aaron bengochea While large-scale tiles and streamlined marble slabs have their benefits, so too do smaller styles. Covering every surface in this Brooklyn bathroom in mini white squares created an immersive, glistening effect, while also amplifying the space’s natural light.

Cozy It Up

photography by Belen Fleming For the bathroom in designer Kassina Folstad’s Scandinavian-inspired Minnesota farmhouse, she brought in elements like antlers, street pavers, and remnants from rotted fence posts to  warm up all that Carrara marble.

Soften a Stark Palette With Curves

photography by cody guilfoyle When coupled with round furnishings and abstract artwork, there’s something especially mod about this Brooklyn home‘s (almost) exclusively black-and-white bathroom. A vessel sink in unexpected hammered metal is only fitting.

Think Beyond the White Sink

photography by cody guilfoyle Home bathroom or five-star spa?  This Brooklyn loft‘s floating natural stone sink and marble tile perfectly channel the peacefulness of a remote luxury resort. A rejuvenating spot to wash up and recharge come morning if we’ve ever seen one.

Amp Up the Contrast

photography by cody guilfoyle Two-tone bathrooms are having a moment, but that doesn’t have to mean straight-up color-blocking. Here, a streamlined sea of coordinating penny tiles contrasts with a flora-and-fauna wallpaper in the same palette above.

Try Pink-on-Pink

photography by cody guilfoyle While color is certainly the primary game changer in this New York restaurant bathroom, the magic really exists in the details. Trippy floral wallpaper, a hot rotary phone, and pineapple print kick the fun into high gear.

Get in Shape

Photography by Jason Frank Rothenberg Geometric tiles with crisp white grout bring fresh interest and dimension to L.A.-based singer and entrepreneur Lourdes Hernández’s all-blue shower in the guest bath, making a solid case for going beyond standard subway tile or simple marble.

Match the Ceilings to the Tile

photography by Jason Frank Rothenberg Hernández followed suit in her master bathroom, but with a pink-on-pink palette instead. To really pack a punch, she extended the hue all the way to the ceiling with paint.

Bring in Big Plants

photography by Michael Wiltbank You don’t have to restrict yourself to air plants and tiny succulents in your bathroom. Tall but slim greenery will transform it into a tropical oasis without taking up much more space.

Turn Subway Tile on Its Head

photography by Nick Glimenakis By just laying out the white subway tile in this revamped 1960s master bathroom in an unexpected herringbone pattern, the ubiquitous material feels new again.

Strike a Balance

photography by Sarah Elliott The kitschy lemon-and-oyster wallpaper in this summer beach home reads cool not crazy, thanks to everything else being clean lined and neutral.

Have Fun With Floor Tile

photography by sarah elliott The bathroom floor is an untapped canvas for creativity. In the same beach home, a geometric blue-and-white pattern puts a contemporary spin on the quintessentially nautical color pairing.

Streamline Your Storage

photography by sarah elliott A big reason for this room’s calming aura: the lineup of woven storage baskets below the vanity hiding every ounce of clutter. The space is the design equivalent of a breath of fresh air.

Frame the Sink

photography by Stephen Busken Navy wainscoting goes to the ceiling when it gets to the sink in this Cali-cool bathroom, turning the dainty fixture into a focal point. With grayscale wallpaper and just a hint of a palm tree, the space feels breezy and beachy without falling into tropical clichés.

Expose Piping

photography by Stephen Busken In antiqued brass, the workings of thisexposed rainfall shower aren’t an eyesore, they’re sculpture.

Mix Materials  

photography by Belen Fleming Between the exposed brick wall, vintage wood vanity, and antique rug, this rustic farmhouse bathroom is swimming in texture.

Set the Mood

Photo by JACOB HAND PHOTOGRAPHY Sure, you could ease into a moody powder room by doing just dark wallpaper or dimmed lighting, but we say take the plunge and go for the trifecta. Slap a brooding print on the walls, swap out your lightbulbs for ones that have metallic tips, and opt for a smaller mirror (less light reflection!).

Tips For Small Modern Kitchen Designs - Chart Attack

Is it that time of the year again when you need to do a bit of a rework on your kitchen? Or maybe you are buying a brand new house or apartment and you want the kitchen to be perfect this time around. You want something modern, something that will look much cleaner, less cluttered while equipped with enough storage to keep all of your pans and pots neatly stacked. However, a lot of people do not want anything modern style because they believe it feels too soulless. But modern style does not mean that everything has to be colored gray, black or other darker shades, It does not mean that everything has to be minimalist. That’s the thing with modern styling. You have the freedom to create a design in any way you want. You can combine any color you like with any kind of material while also keeping it quite simple. Although you do have to follow some guidelines if you want to keep the minimalist design. You need straight and clean lines, simpler and not as bright colors and several other décor items that will finish the look.

Reasons to Have a Small Modern Kitchen Designs

Here are some of the reasons why you should opt for such a design. Much cleaner look What comes to your mind when someone is discussing modern kitchens? The first thing that pops into your mind is probably the word minimalism, and you are correct. The traditional style is characteristic to be cluttered and stacked with various items such as décor, china, pots, pans and so on. While this is not necessarily bad, it’s just different, but this kind of style is not for everyone. With a contemporary look, all of your tabletops will be clean and clear of any clutter. There will not be any need to keep your glasses or plates outside as it is filled with different storage cabinets, pot holders, drawers that can hold everything you own. The only thing you need to leave out is a few of the appliances such as a toaster, a thermos pot, a mixer and so on. You can also give this room a sleeker look by getting cabinet doors and drawers with no handles. Combine it with colors Many people believe that a modern kitchens must-have neutral and dark colors to be considered contemporary or minimalist. This is simply not true. The trick is that this kind of design does not follow any complicated rules that you must follow. You can go with any color you want whether it is red, orange, blue or green. Normally, you will still have to follow a certain pattern in the shades you pick, but that is about it. By playing with various colors you can give your kitchen a bit more life to it. Click here for modern kitchen ideas if you need inspiration for the colors you will use in your redesign. Use any kind of material you want Most traditional kitchens are limited to only a few types of material such as wood, plastic or metal. With a contemporary style, you can actually go with anything you want. You do not have to settle for stainless steel metals, you can also use copper sometimes even glass. Combine these metals with wood too if you want to. You have the freedom to be as creative as you want which is why we believe that a contemporary style kitchen is a much more superior than a traditional one. Increases your home’s value While a traditional style is just as beautiful and increases the value of your home, it is still quite an old design that is not as wanted by younger couples. By adding a contemporary design into your home, you will boost its value considerably. When you decide to sell your house, every single couple that will fall in love with your kitchen and its minimalist elements. Keep in mind, if you do not plan on ever selling or renting your home then this shouldn’t be an important factor or reason for you to go with such a style.

Tips when going for a modern design

Now that you are finally convinced why you should go for a contemporary style, it is time to create a design concept. Here are some tips to help you get the kitchen of your dreams. Kitchen Island When you search for the contemporary design idea, you probably won’t manage to find one without a kitchen island. Not only does this element look stylish and you can customize it any way you want, but it will also provide you with a lot more workspace than you are used to. It can also be used to create a lot more storage cabinets or drawers which is always a plus. There is not anything worse than going to cook in a kitchen without enough room to fit two people. How are you support to prepare food for your friends and family if you cannot get the help of several other people? Ensure that when you are planning your kitchen designs that you have enough room for multiple people to walk through. Create wide walkways between the countertops and the island which will allow you to maneuver easily. Part of being a good cook is to have space around you well organized. Since you are going with a contemporary style then you will have to ensure that you have enough lighting inside of your kitchen. All those dark shades and colors will absorb most of the light which means you will have to settle for natural light. Plan on adding more than just a few windows so you can use most of the sunlight throughout the day. The wider and taller they are, the better. This content was originally published here.

Bathroom trends to let go of in 2019

New interior trends are emerging and taking over all the time, but embrace them too late in the game and spaces can feel dated – even if they’ve just been newly built or renovated.Because bathrooms are such an expensive room, you want to create one that will last the distance.These are the much-loved bathroom trends that have hit their used by date.

Making a feature out of your wall niche

Sorry, we have to say it, but the trend of using feature tiles behind your wall niche or coloured angles around your niche is over.Niches are a functional element that should blend into the wall — do you really want to highlight your shampoo bottles in the shower? Some people argue that a feature tiles creates design fluidity in a bathroom, picking up the accent colour and repeating it across the room, but there are other, more elegant ways of doing this. For example, using bathroom décor that picks up on the colour, or even a stylish pot with an indoor plant.Alternatively, just make the whole wall a feature!

Love this bathroom by Hans and Courtney on The Block… except for those niches!

High gloss finish

A huge trend of the 90s that continued through to the 2000s is high gloss — cue car showroom vibes!The future trend in bathrooms is a return to more natural and organic colours and finishes so please, think again if considering a high gloss tile (note: we’re not talking about subtle gloss or lappato finishes here).

OTT lighting

Let’s put LED strip lighting errrywhere!You know this crazy trend of over-lighting your bathroom — it’s time to say good-bye to it.Instead, think about the lighting statement you want to make and just make that.We recently had Illumination Designer James Nagel on to share his expert tips on how to light your bathroom, check it out here.

Lighting overload in this bathroom by Hans and Courtney on The Block

Squeezing the biggest of everything into your bathroom

More is not always more — especially in the bathroom. Or as Neale Whitaker would say ‘Luxury shouldn’t feel cramped’.To create a more luxe feel in your bathroom, allow free space around your vanity and bath to let these pieces ‘breathe’.Just because you can squeeze a bigger vanity or a bigger shower in, doesn’t necessarily mean you should.Consider the space as a whole and ensure it’s in scale before sizing up.

A regret Gina has in her bathroom is not allowing more free space around the bath and vanity

Smaller format floor tiles

Unless you’re opting for an encaustic or feature tile on the floor, do away with smaller sizes such as 300×300.The new design direction of tiles in bathrooms is ‘bigger is better’. While 450×900 was considered big for a while there, we’re seeing even larger tile sizes become the norm. There’s a huge range of 600×1200 tiles on the market now and even 3000×1500!Are there any other bathroom trends you’d like to see left behind in 2018? Tell us in the comments below!The post Bathroom trends to let go of in 2019 appeared first on STYLE CURATOR.This content was originally published here.

Top 10 Trending Bathroom Ideas You Can do on a Budget -

Top 10 Trending Bathroom Ideas You Can do on a Budget

Bathroom remodels can be a challenge. Trying to find the right pieces that will be practical, work and look best together can be difficult. If you love a vintage-farmhouse look but do not know where to start, no worries! Here are some tips on how to start your remodel. To make your bathroom remodel cohesive, we have rounded up a few of our favorite ideas for that perfect vintage-farmhouse look: 1. Shiplap Shiplap is a great technique to give any space the vintage-farmhouse style. Oftentimes, home renovators can find shiplap in old homes under drywall. If you do not want to cover the entire bathroom with it, just go for a subtle approach and only cover one wall as an accent wall to create interest. 2. Repurposed Furniture Consider replacing your vanity or sink fixture with repurposed furniture, like an old dresser. True vintage-farmhouse style takes older pieces of furniture and spruces them up to give them a new and more modern look and feel. Take an antique dresser, strip it, then repaint it a solid color (we recommend white). To achieve that worn and lived-in look, lightly sand the joints, corners, and edges with sand paper. You can find some great DIY pieces by visiting antique shops, flea markets or antique festivals. If you do not want to do the work yourself, you can also find a company that specializes in repurposing old furniture. . 3. Barn Accents To round out the vintage-farmhouse style, decorate or replace your light fixtures with details inspired by a barn. Consider gooseneck pendant lighting to put over the sink and dark colored handles on cabinets to offset the light-colored shiplap/vanity area. Switch out the sink with a deep, white farmhouse sink. Install an accordion mirror, a wooden stool, or large hooks for hanging towels. To really embrace the vintage-farmhouse look, repurpose feed sacks as valances, or curtains over the windows. You can also use an old metal egg or fishing basket to store toiletries. 4. Sliding Barn Door One really beautiful and unique way to remodel your bathroom is to switch out your swinging bathroom door to a sliding barn door. This a great idea if you have a doorway leading form a bedroom to the bathroom (like a master bedroom). You can find barn doors at flea markets or a company that sells them. If you end up purchasing a used door, try painting it white or giving it a light colored stain to make it look modern and earthy. 5. Earthy Tones A really easy way to remodel a bathroom on a budget is to update the paint. A vintage-farmhouse bathroom style is going to employ a neutral color palette. Use light earthy tones like grays, whites, and browns. To keep your space from feeling bland, add pops of color through artwork, decorative towels or shower curtains. Pick decorations and pieces with texture and do not be afraid to incorporate nature-inspired accents like plants or flowers. 6. Z-back Cabinets When you think a barn or farmhouse, big red wooden doors with white accents come to mind. It is an iconic look and one that can be included in your own bathroom remodel. A cost effect way to implement this look is to paint your existing cabinets and add the z-back frame using wooden slats. There are many color combinations that can be used; white on white is a very popular bathroom look and still provides that vintage-farmhouse feel. If you’re feeling bold, you can replicate the barn door look by using red and white paint, which can also add a great pop of color. 7. Freestanding Tub Another great bathroom remodel idea to achieve the vintage-farmhouse look is to replace your current tub for a clawfoot freestanding tub. This is more on the expensive side for a remodel but perfectly captures the look and feel of vintage-farmhouse. When replacing an item in the wet area (toilet, tub, shower, sink) be sure to leave your pipes and water hookups in their original place and match up the fixtures to the original piping. Switching out the water lines can be extremely expensive when doing a bathroom remodel, but still an option. White tubs are the most common and least expensive, but there are certainly other color options for your freestanding tub if you choose. 8. Switch the Sink You can use an old trough as a sink or even an old shaving bowl can be turned into a sink. This is a fun and unique way to transform your bathroom to something with character and charm. For example, a shaving bowl used as a sink on a barley table is perfect for a smaller space or half bath. To hide the plumbing, use table skirt made from feed sacks or linen cloth. For a larger bathroom, like the master, the trough is a great alternative to traditional his and hers sinks. It provides plenty of sink space and perfectly achieves the vintage-farmhouse look on a budget. 9. Buy Working Pieces Before purchasing pieces, especially antiques, ensure all knobs, drawers, and cabinets work properly and with ease. Trying to replace broken or missing parts on a one-of-a-kind item after purchase can be extremely expensive and near impossible. When you are searching online or at a market, shop smart and make sure that the tub, sink, cabinet, etc. all have the original knobs, matching hardware, etc. 10. Work with What You Have One of the easiest ways to remodel your bathroom is to work with what you already have. For example, if you live in an older home, you can strip any existing drywall to expose original brick or stone walls. It is also possible that carpet has been placed over original hardwood floors that may be worth restoring. Take the time to do a little research on your home to see if you can use any original architectural fixtures that could add to your vintage-farmhouse bathroom.

Basement Remodeling Ideas

Basement Remodeling Basics First, before you think about paintjobs and type of trim, consider your layout, the floorplan, of your basement remodeling space. Some basements physically do not have the square footage or arrangement to accomplish your vision. So, start simple with the basic layout and arrangement. Then think about how you would like to use the room. If you could benefit from having an additional workspace, consider creating a small home-office, crafter’s corner, or woodworking shop. Or perhaps you could use the room to entertain friends and family. Or the new area in your basement can simply be used as an extension of your home. After the layout is together, walls are up, necessary plumbing and electrical is in place, it is time for the fun details. The color of the walls/ceiling, type of trim, textures and lighting will drastically alter the ambiance of the room. Because the basement is out-of-view, some homeowners take their basement remodeling opportunity to do something drastically different style-wise from the rest of their home. But if you already have your idea in mind, and are ready to start building, give us a call, we will be happy to bring your basement remodeling idea to life.

Basement Remodeling Ideas

Pro-Line Contractors, Inc. is here to help give you some great basement remodeling ideas.

Basement Bar Mini-Pub So many people are psyched about their at-home craft brews and create private labels in their basements. If you are passionate about beer or are a wine connoisseur, your basement can include a countertop with actual taps, refrigeration, or a wine cooler.

Video Game Room We don’t like calling them “man caves” because everyone can enjoy gaming as their preferred form of entertainment. Consider remodeling your basement into your ultimate video game room. When designing a video game room, try not to clutter the interior with systems and games. We recommend built-in, hidden storage for the games and knick-knacks, leaving more room for friends and entertaining. Traditional Game Room Consider a pinball machine, pool table, dartboard, air hockey, poker table, or a foosball table to add to your remodeled basement game room. But if you get them all and slap a mini bar in the corner, your basement will be the envy of the neighborhood.

TV/Theater Room Theater rooms are for true film enthusiasts. Theater rooms can be complete with plush leather seating, large projection screens, and full surround sound. However, most people enjoy their movies more casually. For most, creating an additional tv room, or living room, out of their basement remodeling project makes more sense than theater-style seating.

Art Room – Music, Dance, or Visual Arts If you like to encourage your little ones to dance. Leave the finished space wide open, install one wall with mirrors, and some surround sound, and you have a beautiful, personal dance studio space. For the music enthusiast or musicians, a soundproof music room is an excellent addition to any home. There is nothing better than cranking the volume.  Except for your neighbors not yelling at you for cranking the volume. A kids’ craft corner, or adult arts and craft studio is a wonderful remodel idea as well. A separate private creative area is essential for an inspired artist to “get away from it all” and create.

Workout Room A basement gym or workout room has never been more accessible with the plethora of at-home workout equipment that is affordable for the general public. After your remodel is complete and well-lit, all you need is one or two weight-machines, some free weights, mats, and stationary bicycle or treadmill, and your at-home gym is ready!  It may seem like much equipment and a significant undertaking, but you won’t be paying monthly like an expensive gym membership. And while some people love going to the gym, there isn’t anything wrong with preferring to work out in the privacy of your own home. Guest Room If you always have company and they need a place to stay, converting your basement into a guest room is a no-brainer. A hotel can never compare to a well-designed guest room.   When your guests aren’t spending the night, you can even consider renting out your spare basement guestrooms. Turning the extra space in your home into a rentable area is a wise investment. Although it comes with responsibilities, you can earn additional income, and even write off some of your extra expenses as business start-up costs.  

Many basements remain damp, dusty, dreary, and uncomfortable (sometimes even a little scary) for the entire lifespan of the home. An unfinished basement is not a place to go and relax.

But rest assured, with a bit of help, your basement can be a safe, livable space. We are happy to provide you with a 180-degree spin on a basement that may be currently uninhabitable. Decide what you would like to do with your space, then give a call a Pro-Line, we will be happy to help reclaim that unused space and increase the value of your home. Upgrade An Already Finished Basement If you are looking to add functionality to your finished basement, here are a few frequent upgrades that, if installed correctly and professionally, will increase the value to your home: • Adding a bathroom • Installing a kitchenette • Creating a small mini-bar with a sink

Basement Safety

When remodeling your basement, remember, keep safety first! Our priority is to make your basement a safe and livable space. It is important to: Install vapor-barriers in any basement bathrooms to avoid moisture build-up within walls. Moisture build-up can cause mold and, eventually, breathing problems for the entire household. Keep the humidity level down. Many people don’t build in their basement due to moisture build-up. This problem is solved simply by installing a small dehumidification system. A dehumidifier keeps the musty air away and creates fresh, dry, breathable air. Your windows are emergency exits outside in case of a fire. Be sure to have a step stool or a climb-able piece of furniture near your designated fire-exit window. Basement windows are essential to keep updated. Properly sealed basement windows and can save you big bucks in heating costs over time. If possible, installing outdoor stairs leading down to the basement with a door is a great idea. Again, this would be helpful in the event of a fire, but even in an everyday situation, a basement back-door can be extraordinarily convenient.

Kitchen trends in 2020

Eco-credentials, natural materials and the industrial theme continue to be the focus of kitchen trends in 2020 Natural materials With the kitchen now being a homogenous part of ground floor living space, the requirement for this functional zone to bring a level of warmth of cosiness is reflected in the growth of natural materials.

Reflecting the trend for marble effects, CRL Stone has introduced the Pacific Grey décor to its line-up of quartz worktops. It comes in 20mm and 30mm thicknesses Enter timber and wood-effect furniture and the use of natural or stone effect worktops for modern handleless, as well as classic contemporary Shaker kitchens. Wayne Dance of Inhouse comments on the: “Timber will be high on the must-have list for 2020. Real and wood-effect finishes have increased in popularity and with advanced manufacturing processes, it’s often hard to tell them apart.” And sales and marketing director at Mereway Kitchens Mark Mills agrees: “With new innovation helping to develop more realistic natural-style finishes, wood and stone-style worktops are becoming big sellers.” These timeless materials also give longevity to a kitchen design, combining elements of the past with up-to-date technology. Founder of Ledbury Studio. Charlie Smallbone comments: “Something I see for 2020 is the way we’re looking to the past and reinterpreting it to create the future. “This is by no means new – but the way we are accessing that past has changed. “Social media is this amazing research tool that gives us instant access to very visual source materials from 50, 60, 70 years’ ago. This is then inspiring people to revisit those styles and put their own stamp on them.”

Part of the Cucina Colore range by Mereway is the Lastra slab door shown in Natural Oak and Dust Grey Supermatt Industrial theme Opposing and yet complementary to the use of wood and stone in the kitchen has been the growth of the industrial trend.

The Zenuno15 range from The 1810 Company features undermount sinks in widths of 400mm, 500mm and 700mm – all available in copper, gunmetal and gold brass PVD finishes. There is also a range of matching PVD accessories It has seen the introduction of a gamut of metallic finishes, with bronze, copper and gunmetal coming through in sinks, taps and cabinet handles. Kitchen channel manager at Grohe UK Tony Wilson agrees: “Coloured sinks and taps are starting to emerge and are expected to become far more readily accessible and specified in the home over the next 12 months. The industrial trend is still booming.” In fact, metal has even made its way onto furniture frontals, such as The Metallics Collection by Ledbury Studio. Charlie Smallbone explains: Metallics came to the forefront in kitchens last year and I see this continuing for some time yet.” And this trend for urban sophistication is also set to lead to a greater influence of black in the kitchen, report industry experts. Product designer for Pronorm Gerd Meier says: “Black is going to be an even stronger colour in kitchen design in 2020. “So far its use has been used largely as design accents but it’s now making its way to full doors, worksurfaces and cabinetry, not only in solid matt black but also in stained fine grain woodgrains. “We’ll see more black, either as full kitchens for an urban contemporary look, or in colour blocking combining black with a contrast colour or warm woodgrain.”

Black is a key kitchen trend for 2020 seen here as a colour block effect in a mix of cabinetry from Pronorm‘s X-line and Proline 128 grid kitchen ranges. Organic platinum in matt texture is framed with open grain oak in black Pantry storage Whether a kitchen is based upon an urban style or more classic contemporary design, internal storage is key. Consider the pantry, which has become high on the wish list of consumers for Shaker-style schemes and the Space Tower concealed behind handleless doors. Commercial director of Crown Imperial Tony McCarthy comments “Classic larder and pantry storage have also seen a resurgence as consumers create a timeless feel with inspiration from social media, achieving a touch of organised elegance  is now a ‘must-have’ kitchen design feature.” And MD of Stoneham Kitchens Adrian Stoneham agrees: “A popular choice is a wooden oak pantry with open shelving, dovetailed drawers and spice racks fitted to the upper doors. For those who enjoy entertaining, pantry bars are on the rise.” He adds: “Another pantry option that is being incorporated in kitchen design is the Dynamic Space Tower, maximising internal space.”

Shown in a Coral soft matt lacquer, the Cambia range from Rational has been combined with Topaz units in a white marble-look lacquered laminate. It is shown with a pantry dresser featuring glassware Eco impact With climate activists Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion continuing to draw consumer attention towards the green agenda, it’s little surprise environmental credentials are growing in importance to consumers.

Moonscape is one of two marble-inspired decors launched in 2019 and adds to the Mistral worksurface collection. Made from acrylic-based resin compound and natural mineral, the solid surface is repairable as it can be sanded CEO of Scavolini Fabiana Scavolini comments: “Any predictions for the future must include an ecological message. “For the kitchen market, it’s all about choosing sustainable materials that don’t sacrifice durability and adopting manufacturing processes that reduce the negative impact on the environment.” UK design manager of the Formica Group Nina Bailey adds: “As the sustainable movement continues, designs will be eco-conscious while remaining aesthetically pleasing.” In fact eco-credentials is a huge story for furniture manufacturer Rotpunkt in 2020. Head of UK operations Matt Phillips explains: “We are taking action against climate change and implementing new measures at our production sites in Germany to ensure the manufacture of Rotpunkt kitchens is 100% carbon neutral from January 1.” Director of Karonia Andrew Pickup says the focus on sustainability is playing a role in worktops too: “The consumer is now paying much more attention to sustainable material choices and the durability of the worksurfaces should be one of the prime considerations along with colour choice and practicality.” He adds: “Even the replenishment, re-use and recycling of the material should be considered as an important factor when advising people about their product choices. “The fact that Mistral can be refurbished, repaired and repurposed after many years of use is very important when considering low impact on the environment.” And of course, with bottles being one of the largest plastic pollutants on the planet, expect a growth in interest in filter water taps in the kitchen. “Filtered water taps will provide a point of interest for consumers as we continue to move away from single use plastics and seek more eco-friendly alternatives. We believe these will be particularly pertinent in hard water areas where unfiltered tap water quality is often disliked.”

The Grohe Blue Pure range of filtered water tapscomes in a choice of three models, Eurosmart, BauCurve and Minta, which also offers a pull-out spout. Small spaces It is well documented newbuild homes, the refurbishment projects of tomorrow, are shrinking in size. It continues to give rise to unobtrusive kitchens which can be completely concealed and is bolstering the sales of built-in appliances, especially in slimline or compact versions.

Boasting a traditional design, the Reginox Vechi is a 3-in-1 instant boiling water hot tap in polished chrome with white ceramic handles It has seen a demand for clutter-free worktops with the kettle increasingly replaced by a hot water tap, which also ticks the eco box. Sales and marketing director of Reginox Dave Mayer comments: “At Reginox, sales of hot taps have quadrupled in the last 12 months and we anticipate they will quadruple again across 2020 and again across 2021.” There is also a demand for quieter appliances, as noise can be magnified in small spaces and have an effect on consumers’ wellbeing. According to marketing communications manager of InSinkErator Europe and Russia Anne Kaarela smaller kitchen spaces can also help spur waste disposer sales. She points out: “Research has shown that the footprint of new homes has significantly decreased; 958sqft n 2016 compared to 1,055sqft in 2003. “A food waste disposer is a perfect addition to compact dwellings as it eliminates food waste and the unpleasant food odours emitting from, the often numerous, kitchen bins. Smart appliances Of course convenience is key for appliance sales, with models offering the benefits of time-saving as well as optimised performances to reduce resource use. Taking this one step further are smart appliances which can help users better monitor their resource use and offer advice on optimised programmes.

Hoover’s first AI (artificially intelligent) washing machine, the AXI features voice assist which allows the user to choose wash programmes, ask for suggestions about the best washing programme or stain removal advice And connectivity is growing across product sectors from laundry to cooking and food storage. Fabiana Scavolini adds: “It would be remiss to ignore the connected kitchen, already driving value growth in the luxury kitchen and now filtering into the mid-market, thanks to more accessibly-priced products. “Our retailers have reported a rise in the number of smart products being integrated into Scavolini kitchens from voice-activated extractors to fridges with integrated cameras so that consumers can check the contents of their fridge while at the shops.” Certainly product manager for range cooking at Glen Dimplex Sarah Whitfield says smart technology will continue to influence appliance sales, adding: “Our recent research into the future of range cooking shows that connectivity is a key technology trend for consumers. “Overall when we asked consumers what would they like to see on their next range cooker, three quarters said they want Artificial Intelligence or connectivity.” And Matt Phillips of Rotpunkt adds: “We also feel that smart technology will help shape future trends. We are keen to welcome this new era of kitchen design in 2020 and offer automated lighting solutions, which can be controlled through virtual assistants like Alexa or Siri by voice or remote control.” Also read about the latest trends to impact on bathroom design in 2020.

Designer Shares Her Top 10 Kitchen and Bathroom Trends

Top 5 Kitchen Trends1. Rich Colors for Cabinetry Alfin says infusing more color into kitchens is on the rise. “While white kitchens are still popular, they’re finally on the downtrend,” she says. One of the best ways to inject color into a kitchen is by adding cabinets painted in rich, saturated colors.If you’re afraid of being too trendy, consider choosing historical colors, Alfin says: “Most paint companies offer historical lines of colors that have stood the test of time.” In the kitchen pictured here, the team at Heidi Caillier Design installed new cabinets painted in Farrow & Ball’s Oval Room Blue.2. Drawers, Pullouts and Organizers Alfin is seeing more remodeled kitchens that have few or no upper cabinets. “Kitchens with no uppers are cleaner and sleeker,” she says. “But with fewer cabinets comes less storage.”The designer suggests making the most of lower cabinet storage by adding custom drawers and pullouts with built-in organizers, plate racks and spice racks.3. Patterned or Geometric Tile Floors Bold patterned or graphic tile kitchen floors are all the rage, Alfin says. Encaustic cement tiles, such as the black-and-white ones in this kitchen by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, are particularly popular.Alfin says if you want the look of encaustic cement tiles but prefer something with less upkeep, consider porcelain tiles that mimic the look of cement. Many tile companies make them.4. Indoor-Outdoor FlowFor those living in temperate climates, the popularity of building kitchens that open up to the outdoors is on the rise. “People at parties always want to hang out in the kitchen,” Alfin says. “A kitchen that opens up to a deck or patio allows guests to flow outside while giving some breathing room to those working in the kitchen.”5. Colorful Appliances Alfin says a great way to inject energy into a kitchen is by adding colorful appliances. “Nearly every line of high-end appliance makers is now offering appliances in multiple colors,” the designer says. “Some will even match the exact color you want.”Top 5 Bathroom Trends “More and more of my clients are concerned with aging in place when renovating their homes,” Alfin says. “Curbless showers are a popular request because they allow you to enter a shower without having to lift your legs over a lip.” A curbless shower also allows wheelchair access as long as the entrance is at least 32 inches wide.2. Feature Walls Creating a dramatic feature wall in a bathroom is a trend that seems here to stay. “It’s a great way to draw one’s eye in a bathroom to the location you want to show off most,” Alfin says.The Boston master bathroom seen here, designed by Right Angle Kitchens & Design, includes a feature wall covered in scalloped tiles in various shades of blue, creating a dreamy mermaid-like quality.3. Resort-Style Spa Baths Alfin says nothing quite evokes the feeling of a resort experience like a freestanding tub situated in front of a great view. The trend of creating a master bathroom with a spa-like atmosphere is as popular as ever.If you’re not lucky enough to have breathtaking views out your bathroom window, Alfin recommends walling off the area directly outside the window to create a private oasis. Take some inspiration from the master bathroom seen here, by Janet Brooks Design.4. Cabinets in Serene ColorsWhile the trend in kitchens is to paint cabinets in rich, saturated colors, Alfin says cabinets in serene colors are the way to go in bathrooms. “People want their bathrooms to feel calm and soothing,” she says. The vanity in this bathroom by Lisette Voute Designs is painted in Pale Powder by Farrow & Ball.This content was originally published here.

2019 Bathroom Trends: What’s In and What’s Out

Kitchens might be the heart of the home, but bathrooms are definitely the muscle. After all, which room in your home has to double as a dog wash and a makeup station? Of course, making your bathroom one of your favorite rooms in your house has as much to do with style as it does function. As you work to create a bathroom that is fashionable and functional, you’ll want to know about all of the latest 2019 bathroom trends. We’ve rounded up some of the trends that are on their way in and some on their way out.

Statement wallpaper makes the most of a small space. Image: yampi/Shutterstock

Instead of paint, try statement wallpaper

After years of being out, wallpaper is back in a big way. And while you might not want to commit to wallpaper in a large space like your living room, the bathroom is the perfect place to experiment. Try a statement wallpaper in a powder room by opting for a bold, graphic print with plenty of contrast. Instant style update!

Black is a fresher take for 2019. Image: PlusONE/Shutterstock

Instead of gray, try black

It’s one of the oldest pieces of interior design advice: use lighter colors to make a room feel bigger. But darker colors can actually convey more depth, which is a great choice for bathrooms. Skip the gray and paint one wall black to make a room feel deeper, or opt for black fixtures to increase contrast and call attention to the room’s features.

Exposed pipes and a masculine design bring more style. Image: PlusONE/Shutterstock

Instead of glam, try industrial

Glam bathrooms (think all-pink, heavy chandeliers and gold features) are on their way out. One of the biggest 2019 bathroom trends is the complete opposite of glam. Industrial chic means heavier fixtures, metal and a more masculine aesthetic. Something as simple as swapping out lighting or even leaving exposed pipes makes a bathroom remodel more stylish.

A wet room makes your bathroom feel more spa-like. Image: ImageFlow/Shutterstock

Instead of a separate tub and shower, try a wet room

If you have the luxury of designing your bathroom from scratch, consider going with a wet room approach. A wet room is basically a separate tiled space in your bathroom that contains a shower and tub. It makes your bathroom feel more spa-like while still being incredibly easy to clean. An added bonus? It creates separation so someone can use the rest of the bathroom, including sinks, even when someone’s in the shower.

A floating vanity creates a sleek look. Image: Beyond Time/Shutterstock

Instead of a console vanity, try a floating vanity

Console vanities are inexpensive and easy to find. But for some bathrooms, they can look clunky and limit storage options. For a 2019 bathroom trends update, check out floating vanities. By bolting the vanity directly into the wall, the result is streamlined and modern. Floating vanities also let you store smaller things inside while tucking larger items (think baby tubs or step stools) underneath.

Metal mirrors streamline your bathroom style. Image: Peshkova/Shutterstock

Instead of fussy frames, try mod mirrors

The overdone carved mirror is out. Let’s face it: a mirror with nooks and crannies isn’t always the best choice for bathrooms. They’re hard to clean and can collect dust. For 2019, it’s all about the mod mirror. Metal frames and even frameless mirrors are both streamlined and easy to wipe down. Simplifying your bathroom to-do list? Very 2019.

Use tile to bring color and texture into the room. Image: Image Flow/Shutterstock

Instead of subway tile, try statement tile

For the last five years, subway tile has reigned supreme. From kitchen backsplashes to shower surrounds, subway tile is always a classic choice. But for 2019, the tile trend is leaning toward making more of a statement. Patterned tiles are less overwhelming in small doses, so they’re great for limited spaces in showers or around tubs.

Wood tones make a more organic bathroom. Image: Wolfgang Zwanger/Shutterstock

Instead of stained cabinets, try natural wood

Natural wood tones are back in a big way. If your goal is to make your bathroom feel more spa-like, lightly stained natural wood is a great option. It looks best when accented with light tile and other natural elements like bamboo or cotton. Try opting for a light pine vanity or bring in natural tones with wood shelves piled high with fluffy towels.

Use paint to update a vintage tub. Image: sylv1rob1/Shutterstock

Instead of a jetted bath, try a colored tub

Jetted tubs are one of those polarizing topics: you either love ’em or you hate ’em. But personal preferences aside, the heyday of the oversized jetted tub is coming to an end. Instead, tubs are becoming less utilitarian and more of a statement piece for your bathroom. Colored clawfoot tubs put a modern spin on a classic fixture. They’re essentially painted on the outside but still porcelain on the inside. Some of our favorites are coral, turquoise or even terracotta.

Matte surfaces are easier to keep clean. Image: Archi_viz/Shutterstock

Instead of high gloss, try matte finishes

From your fixtures to your tile, one of our favorite 2019 bathroom trends is the pivot toward matte finishes. A matte marble tile or matte showerhead adds a layer of texture and sophistication. It’s also easy to take care of since you’re not constantly trying to achieve a high shine. It’s one of those trends that is functional and fashionable, the holy grail for bathroom trends. From home haircuts to pre-party primping, your bathroom is the true workhorse in your home. By keeping up on some of the best 2019 bathroom trends, you can combine fashion and function to come up with a space that works for you, your family and your design style.

12 Bathroom Trends For 2019 | Home Remodeling Contractors | Sebring Design Build

3. Brass & Gold With A Vintage Comeback

Gold fixtures are back and better than ever! Shades of brass and gold are taking over sinks, toilets, and basically anything and everything in your bathroom this year. Erase the memories of your Grandparent’s bathroom brass faucet, because this lovely new warm toned gold plumbing fixtures will become your new go to, adding just the right amount of depth, dimension, and luxury feel to any space. Homeowners love the change to warmer accents with the brass/gold toned bathroom fixtures versus the traditional shiny polished chrome which conveys a more cool, modern, and sleek feel. Offered in new finish options like in satin, matte, and spun gold this subtle change is just what was needed to add that classic traditional element to any space.  With the added bonus of keeping fingerprints and water spots hidden. This warmer tone has become the accent pieces of a room, with complimenting hardware, light fixtures, and mirrors as well. Look around and you will find more gold tone items than you think.  The reason for the comeback–it just looks great in so many different style settings.

10. Get Comfy! Big Bathtubs & Open Showers

As the bathroom changes, the possibilities for expansion and more space come to mind. In fact, the goal of having more space is oftentimes the number one reason why home owners choose to remodel. This includes the bathroom too! With compact storage options, you give yourself more room to expand on the bath or shower. Big Bathtubs The bigger the bathtub, the more space and relaxation will be available to you. Homeowners deserve a place to wind down after a long day, and what better place to do so than their own bathrooms? While Jacuzzi styled tubs aren’t necessarily are popular as they used to be, we’re seeing a shift in preferences to other large tub styles. Open Showers Open showers appear to visually increase the size of your bathroom, while also giving it more space and providing convenience for users. Long gone are the days of worrying about slipping over the edge of the tub while you’re trying to get out and dry off. While some may find this design has a lack of privacy, others enjoy the accessible openness and increased shower space.

12. Stay Warm This Winter With Underfloor Heating Systems

If you bought a pair of slippers just to escape the cold sensation on the bottom of your feet while walking across your bathroom floor; then it might be a good investment for you to consider adding a heating system under your floor.  When the temperatures outside are dropping–your wish could become a reality.  Underfloor heating can be used with a variety of flooring options like:  tile, concrete, vinyl, and wood to name a few.   But in a bathroom, the cold tile can transform into a beautiful soothing warm floor.  Heating systems not only provide heat, but they can also reduce noise levels and possible allergic reactions since there are no air currents disturbing dust. More and more technology is being included in bathrooms, which means more small appliances are being integrated.  For instance, some luxury bathroom designs now feature a beverage center or under counter refrigerators near the makeup area or vanity for your medicines or organic facial remedies.  Or you may find some home bathroom designs featuring warming drawers for linens & robes. Aside from the traditional dryers in the makeup area, you can also have wireless music systems, TV’s, cooling or warming systems, and so on. The bathroom used to be the place where electric appliances were a no-no. Now, it can rival the kitchen in the number of gadgets and the amount of tech in it.  This trend will continue in 2019, especially in master bathroom designs.

10 of the Best Basement Remodeling Ideas for Gaining Space & Storage Solutions

Farmhouse Style Basement Remodel

Who would have ever thought that when my friends Amy and Guy asked me to design their upcoming basement remodel that it would become my most popular project to date!  I am so excited to be partnering with Extra Space Storage today and share creative ways to maximize your space. Here are my 10 tips for gaining space and solving a whole lot of storage problems. Let’s dive into how you can turn untapped square footage into a stylish functional living space!

1. Maximize Square Footage 

Once we found out that the small closet and post that closed off under the stairs was not load bearing we opened it all up and built a cozy little reading nook.  Not only is is a quiet place to hang out but the twin bed platform is perfect for sleepovers. The before was dark, small and blocked light to the nearby bathroom.

2. Create a Drop Zone

Collect and keep organized anything important you need before you head out the door. Hooks, wall pockets and a mail organizer hold important papers, mail, and keys. We tucked in  a small open bench seat for putting on/taking off shoes and boots. In addition, the seat is a drop zone for groceries, sports bags and purses. A wire basket holds house shoes and slippers.We opened the separating wall as far as we could without interfering with plumbing to allow as much natural light as possible to flood in. Just beyond the entry an awkward small space with low clearance becomes a closet with doors. Rather than having several small area carpets we had a custom commercial grade carpet cut and bound to stop all dirt and snow before entering the main room.

3. Designated Personal Spaces

Amy and Guy’s three boys all participate in multiple sports so there is a fair share of sporting equipment, backpacks, and shoes. It was important to keep everyone’s belongings separate. Each family member got their own cubby.  All cubbies have multiple hooks for backpacks and jackets, a space below for boots and shoes, and a top shelf with a personalized basket for hats, mittens, and electronics. A large wire basket contains extra sporting equipment.

4. Small but Stylish Entertaining

It doesn’t take much to carve out space for entertaining.  It was a long way upstairs to get something to drink so removing this closet and replacing it with a small dry bar kitchenette with a beverage refrigerator was the way to go. This 6 foot span may be small on space but far from small on style. Custom made cabinetry with metal mesh doors and interior lights give a glow and cast graphic shadows to the interior.  A trip to the granite supplier paid off with a remnant soapstone counter and multi faceted hexagon tiles bounce light and highlight the countertop and barware.

5. Compact Dining and Workspace

Amy, Guy, and the boys needed a space to eat, watch TV and do homework. We eliminated the space that a large table and chairs take up and created this counter bar height pub table that snugs up to the back of the sectional. Four rustic farmhouse inspired stools tuck neatly under the table for when not in use.   This spot gets used a lot on football game days!

6. Repurpose Useful Furniture 

Sometimes you have just the right piece of furniture but it might need some TLC. We updated this hand-me-down sofa table of Amy’s and gave it a fresh coat of white paint. It’s conveniently tucked it in between the kitchenette and dining bar. Most importantly, it is an ideal spot to serve snacks, organize entertaining essentials and and keep any miscellaneous items at neat and contained.

7. Sneak in Drawers

I’ve never heard anyone say that they have too much storage. Get creative when looking for extra spaces to stash away items. Instead of opting for a box spring for this daybed area I designed a platform bed with drawers. These extra deep drawers hold all the boys video games, books, extra blankets and linens for sleepover parties.  TIP:  In a nearby closet stash a rolling cart containing small game pieces and art supplies. Pull out and you’ll have everything at hand.

8. Message Center Gallery Wall

The days of the ordinary chalkboard for messaging is long gone. Now getting your message across has never been more fun. There was a thermostat smack dab in the middle of a small wall as soon as you came down the stairs. I camouflaged it by creating a gallery wall using a light up white board bubble quote, a magnetic pencil holder, whimsical art, plaques and a message board.

9. Eliminate Door Swings with Sliding Barn Doors

The space that a door takes up to swing can pose challenges with a rooms flow and furniture placement. Spaces get congested and some doors just stay open most of the time. We not only added style but saved space by adding this sliding barn door to the weight room at the bottom of the stairs. Barn door hardware is affordable and add a unique look while breaking up a wall or room filled with identical looking doors.

10. Contain Clutter with Baskets, Boxes, and Trays

Today containing clutter has never been more stylish. I layered on texture with embossed copper and wooden trays, fabric covered boxes, and wicker and wire baskets. I always include a tray in my designs. They are a way to add color AND functionality. We used this global inspired tray and keep it on a gray linen tufted ottoman.  When we need more seating the tray gets moved to the bar. It also is a perfect place to store all the gaming pieces, magazines, coasters and remotes.When its time to host a gathering all the placements, linens, serving pieces and flatware are all in one convenient spot. 

Prior to this renovation it was tough to get the boys and their friends to spend time downstairs. Now there’s more than enough room for everyone in the family to have their own space to sprawl out and enjoy. Like a challenging puzzle, designing a useful basement takes time and thoughtful preparation. Tapping into your existing square footage and transforming it into a family friendly space takes creativity but can be achievable with smart planing and a creative team of contractors.

29 Incredible Man Cave Ideas That Will Make You Jealous

A man cave is a personal sanctuary where you can indulge your hobbies and guilty pleasures with freedom. It provides personal space for much needed me-time especially if you have a big family and busy days. The best thing about it is that you have complete control over the aesthetics. So however crazy or unique you want the design to be, you can have it all. There are three important factors to consider when planning a man cave; location, style and furnishings.

Location

The location of your man cave will depend a lot on where you can get extra space in the house. In many cases, the basement makes a perfect location. When properly refurbished, it is cozy and well insulated from the racket of the kids above. If you have no basement in your home or if it is being used for another function, there are plenty of great garage man cave ideas too. You can also use an extra room, an unused bedroom, or a secluded area in the house. If you have limited space to use as a man cave, don’t worry, there are some creative man cave ideas for small rooms below. Wherever you locate it, what is most important is the feeling of privacy and personal space.

Man Cave Room Ideas

This is the most important part of the man cave. Be as creative, as crazy, and as unique as you want. The most common starting point is to decide what theme you want dominating the room. This will depend on your hobbies and activities. Some create replicas of submarines or airplane cockpits. Some fill their man cave with film or music regalia. It all depends on your passions. The trick is to create a theme that feels right at home with you, one that makes your heart race a bit every time you step inside the man cave. Make sure that everything from the wall color, to the style of furnishings, to the flooring are aligned with a specific theme. While we have numerous man cave room ideas below to get your creative juices flowing, you should also check out our home remodeling ideas.

Furnishings and Accessories

A man cave is a home within a home. As such, it must be well accessorized to become a livable space. Furniture such as a sofa and recliner are a must. Also consider putting in a fridge, microwave, drinks bar (if size allows) and bar stools. If you are a sports or movie lover, make space for a large screen TV. A pool table, poker table, or dart board are also great additions especially if you plan on having guests over often. Other accessories include sports memorabilia, wall art, and personally crafted items. Time to dig into the cool man cave ideas we have collected below and start planning for your own man cave. Twist Interior Design What a great conversation and bar area that is off a car collector’s garage. This space also connects to a basketball area. Rejoy Interiors, Inc. I really like the vintage look to this space. There are so many unique design elements that add interest to the room. Just Basements A very contemporary version of a man spa and yes it includes a urinal. Sight and Sounds A sports fan dream!  Look at all those screens.  The hours that could spent in this space is endless. Schilling & Company What an impressive use of space for this baseball player and collector. Nice conversation area. Dorlom Construction Rich colors and a little hunting memorabilia add to the masculine feel of this elegant space. Vicky’s Homes Love all the diamond plate in this space. Seems perfect for the car or motorcycle enthusiast. Michael Kelley Photography Poker table, bar, multiple tv screens, what a great space. The room is so rich and warm and I love the detail on the ceiling. Bagnato Architects This upscale man cave includes a game room, bar, library, lounge and car display showroom. KDS Interiors, Inc. Even though this room is expansive it still feels cozy and comfortable. Attractive ample cabinetry and the frames around the screens are a nice tailored touch. By now, you must be brimming over with your own man cave ideas, or at the very least, you have found one or two ideas worth considering. If you are ready to go ahead with creating a man cave, we are here to help. We know more than a little about interior design and home remodeling.

12 Of The Hottest Kitchen Trends - Awful or Wonderful? | Laurel Home

The Kitchen is usually the most expensive room in the home. But it seems that every ten years or so, there’s a new crop of kitchen trends that catch our fancy. The trends of the day influence us; they often look “fresh”– at first. But the 64k question… is… Will it look fresh 10, 15, 20 years from now? Most of us want our kitchens to stand “the test of time.” A kitchen reno is a major drag, in every way. A bad and/or dated/weird design can decrease our home value. Oh, but it’s all so seductive! But here’s the real problem. There is no such thing as a kitchen that has stood the test of time. Think about it or just click on this post where we went through kitchen history. And as you can see… the styles changed a lot of over the years. And they’re still changing. Before I get into the kitchen trends, I’d like to discuss what’s out. If you happen to like what’s out, that’s fine. OR if you just redid your kitchen and put in something on my “out list,” I am not here to judge. (too much) :] It might be perfectly wonderful for you and appealing to people who live in your area. Ersatz French Country and all that goes with it. Frankly, I don’t think this should’ve ever been in, but here’s what’s included in the out list. What I’ve discovered over the years is that the majority of Americans are mighty confused over the term “French Country.” They think it’s this. Or this. For most of my career, I’ve had potential clients calling me up wanting “French Country.” This is its own separate topic. But these examples above are NOT French Country. These are some made-up amalgam of something that only exists in someone’s fantasy of what “French Country” actually is. Below is a French Country Kitchen. However, most Americans would freak out if a designer presented a kitchen like this to them. I rather love it! Well, let’s move on… Now we are going to review 12 of the hottest kitchen trends out there and decide whether we’re going to love them or leave them.

Let’s begin with cabinets.

Unless you are purchasing a La Cornue that also doubles as a stretch limo (below) :] the kitchen cabinets are most likely going to be the most expensive purchase and if using upper cabinets and/or floor to ceiling, the most in your face. The other material that is out except as an accent is wood. Yes, you can have wood. You could do a gorgeous wood butler’s pantry or a wood island. Wood counters. Wood floor. Wood shelves. Or wood if you are only doing lowers. But stained wood uppers are passe and uppers and lowers together are also. It IS okay if you disagree with that because However, as far as kitchen trends go, wood cabinets are out of fashion. And, I believe it is going to stay that way.

Yes, painted kitchen cabinetry is one of the kitchen trends that is here to stay.

And I don’t necessarily mean a white kitchen. Although if I had to pick something that I think IS absolutely, definitely, positively going to be here in pretty much this form in 20 years, it’s the “classic” white kitchen. There are other painted finishes and colors that are also kitchen trends. Gray Cabinets. It’s the question on everyone’s lips? Is gray here to stay? Well, you may recall that gray is actually an exceedingly classic color all throughout history. However, I feel that it needs to make sense within the context of the home. Certainly the very pale grays are a safe bet; such as this gorgeous Heidi Piron kitchen with brass accents. (more about that shortly) We have an inset door and a clean flat panel front. The above panels are with an inset bead. This is a shaker style door which doesn’t have the little inset moulding. These are what I feel are the best options most of the time. Of course, that’s very general, but let’s say 80% of the time. Yes, you can have a raised panel door for a more formal kitchen. Most of the time, unless it is supposed to look antique, the finishes on-trend should be smooth and in a satin or semi-gloss finish. If one desires an antique look, the glazes should be subtle, chalky and believably antique. No heavy crackle under 15 coats of polyurethane– please.

What about other colors for kitchen cabinets?

I am also seeing lots and lots of stunning blue kitchens. This is my feeling on painting your cabinets blue or any other color which might be deemed “too taste specific.” If you love the look of painted kitchen cabinetry and it suits your home then sure, why not? If you’re planning on selling your home in 5 years, probably not. Above are the encaustic cement floors that we discussed earlier. The ones above are pretty jazzy and I’m not sure if they are going to hold up (kitchen trend-wise) However, in the kitchen below, I adore everything about it, including the classic design of the encaustic cement floor tiles. We discussed that in our unkitchen post. Yes, it’s true. They are more decorative than functional which is why I did the follow-up storage for the new unkitchen post.

Green has become a very popular cabinet color recently in kitchen trends.

However, the green kitchen trend I do not think has legs. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it, but just know that it may very well be dated in a few years. This is the kitchen which some of you may recognize belonging to Bailey McCarthy of the wonderful Peppermint Bliss blog. I love her work.  However, I have to be honest. I’m struggling with this intensely saturated green kitchen– The top half of it. That range is to die for, n’est-pas? I saw a larger image of this kitchen and I also think it might be a bit too much, but like the vignette here. So, this is the deal. If you love a color or are daring or are very rich, then paint it purple polka dots if you like. I love the DeVOL kitchens This brings us to the wildly popular two-tone cabinets kitchen trend. Okay. It’s usually fine and oftentimes desirable. I think I would prefer Bailey’s kitchen more if there were more white above the saturated green. More like this one below. Please check out her blog from some very colorful kitchens! Can’t see the entire room. But right here, it feels like too many cabinets. I don’t feel that a kitchen needs counters lining the entire perimeter if it’s a good-sized kitchen and there’s an island. This one either looks like a kitchen store showroom or a mistake. (the right gray half against the white left half) I do love the island in a contrast color, but the piece on the right looks like it should be white to me.

Nancy Keyes gray and white kitchen is absolutely perfect in every way. And she and her husband made the light fixture. So talented! Charcoal gray and white. I love the panel moulding detailing here.

Black Cabinets

Yes, I think we all realize by now that there has been a quickly growing trend for black cabinets. But… it can quickly go horribly wrong if one isn’t careful.

right? Is that really the only place the range can go butted up against the window? The black here is divine in one of my favorite butler’s pantries Black is also cool in this small urban kitchen, punctuated with a white porcelain farmhouse sink.

Laurel, what about all of that BRASS and GOLD and can we mix metals?

I adore the “new” unlacquered brass. It adds so much warmth to gray cabinets especially. And yes, not only can you mix metals– you should mix them. But… I wouldn’t get too crazy and mix more than two colors. So, stainless and chrome and nickel with gold, brass or copper. Copper would be better with nickel or bronze, I think. There are lots of examples in most of these photos. You can never go wrong with white subway tile. I think I will devote another post to that. But while I can’t stand the crazy brick pattern mosaic, I do love this classic geometric tile from Walker Zanger. I think that stainless steel is here to stay…but… regular stainless, that is.

We’re going to beam up to the year 2036.  There’s a little impromptu game of Jeopardy going on. Hosted by the ageless 95-yr-old Alex Trebek!

Contestant Bob: “Alex, I’ll take bad kitchen trends 2016 for $6000.” Black Stainless Steel. I actually do like shiplap, but it should be used judiciously! I think it’s such a wonderful, sophisticated look for a country or beach home. But yes, some have overdone it. A little shiplap goes a long way! Phew! That was pretty long. And I’m sure I left out a few things too. Anything you guys would like me to discuss further? I know that there have been some requests for a nice juicy back splash post. I think that would tie in nicely with kitchen counters. Hope you’re having a beautiful weekend! please feel free to share! *Love your comments! Please note however, that the blog is meant as general advice. In addition, it is not possible to give out specific answers to your interior design and/or paint questions. Thank you for your understanding. This content was originally published here.
