January is all about focusing on the year ahead and making resolutions. So, what does the year ahead look like for your home? Is it time to make a change?
If you want to keep on trend, there are a few key things that you should be paying attention to. And those things are the pointers that are coming out of the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show that’s held every year in February. Every top kitchen and bath designer is there every February, showing off their best designs and letting you know what you should use in your home, too.
Your kitchen might have been really cool in the 1970s. But it’s no longer the 1970s. Unfortunately, bold backsplashes, crazy colors, tons of dark wood, and laminate countertops aren’t really all that cool anymore.
But don’t get us wrong. Some of it is still cool. So how do you know what parts of style will still be cool in ten years, and which will be ones that you regret? Here’s how.
You love to entertain. And you’ve been entertaining the idea of getting a wet bar or a dry bar.
Your house is known as the place where people go to gather. Maybe you love hosting a small, intimate gathering. Or maybe you love to get a big group together and call it a party.
When you look at your bathroom, do you go “blah?” Maybe you’re not too excited about the boring old decor you’ve seen every single day in there for years. But you spend a lot of time in your bathroom - getting ready, showering, and you know, doing business.
It’s about time that you gave your bathroom some TLC. And you’ve got to start somewhere. A bathroom redesign can seem overwhelming. Spark some ideas by going over what’s trending in bathroom design right now.
Never underestimate the importance of lighting for your kitchen. Whether you’re cooking, eating, cleaning, or organizing, you will need plenty of light in the right places. Otherwise, you risk misplacing key items or leaving crumbs and liquids lying on the counter, where they can attract bugs and germs.
It’s not hard to see why lighting matters. But if you’re like most homeowners, you probably do not fully understand how to illuminate your kitchen effectively. You can only do this if you have three layers of lighting.
