When remodeling, you want your new space to look good today, tomorrow, and many years from now.
The secret is making what is done today feel like it’s been there from the start. Trends are fun and helpful, but must be considered wisely, so that the finished product does not feel dated too soon. The secret is to focus on what has staying power.
Look to these sources for some direction on how to create a timeless home:
Your Remodeler
Whenever you embark on a remodeling project, utilize your partners! We have years of experience remodeling homes and creating beautiful designs that combine both function and design. We know how to choose designs, countertops, cabinetry, and flooring that will endure day-to-day wear and outlast changing home trends.
Your Neighborhood
You can find the inspiration you are looking for in your community. Consider including specific elements, like types of siding and windows, that reflect the prevalent architectural era of your neighborhood. Try to notice details and decorations in the houses around you and mimic those same features in your own home.
Your Environment
Add components to your space that are in tune with your environment. Let the land, the natural setting, guide some of your decisions. Which materials are plentiful and obvious in your region?
If you live in an area where river rock is part of the natural surroundings, you may want to use that material for a fireplace in the living room or an accent wall in the kitchen. A heavily wooded neighborhood may inspire the use of rough beams and posts in your home remodel.
Your Home’s Existing Attributes
When remodeling your home, consider carrying over some of its unique architectural features. Reuse the beautiful assets your home already possesses. You can either use these elements in the same way as before or re-purpose them in a new, creative way.
Maybe you want to preserve the original flooring in one of the bedrooms, or maybe you want to convert the sunroom into an additional living space. Whatever your vision is, we want to make it a reality.
