Kitchen & Bathroom Design Blog

We spend most of our time in the showroom and with customers.   This is where we put our kitchen and bath design expertise into practice by providing design solutions that enhance our customers’ lifestyles.   A few times a year, we take a few days away from the showroom to learn about the latest design trends and business practices, and to share knowledge among a network of kitchen and bath design experts from across the country.

The vanity is often a centerpiece of a bathroom design. Vanities come in all shapes, sizes, and styles to suit any type of bathroom.  They are an ideal way to enhance the style of your design while also creating valuable storage space.  One way to increase the available storage while also creating an eye-catching design feature is to include a multi-level vanity design.
 

The dark, damp conditions of a typical bathroom are, unfortunately, the perfect breeding ground for mold — an issue that’s not only unsightly, but also potentially hazardous to your health. Mold exposure has been linked with everything from allergic reactions to poisoning. It could cause fungal infections or other illness. That’s why keeping mold out of your bathroom and away from your loved ones is vital. How can you do it? What is the key to preventing mold growth? It starts by reducing the dampness of your bathroom.

Working with a designer is a partnership, where the kitchen specialist can help you realize your requirements in a beautiful, well-functioning space.  You will ultimately live, work, and socialize in your new kitchen, so use the design process to make this space your own.  There are many ways to add your personality to a kitchen renovation so the end product is more than the sum of its parts. 

With any major purchase, you should consider your motivation, how much you will spend, and the anticipated return on that investment.   Several issues influence the value received from a bathroom renovation, but the most important is your motivation. Are you remodeling for personal use, because you plan to stay in your home long-term? Perhaps you plan to sell and hope this renovation will impact resale value, in which case your goal is a direct monetary return. 

Have you decided it is time to upgrade your kitchen design?   The kitchen is the center of the home, so remodeling this space requires time and attention, not to mention sufficient funds.   A kitchen renovation is an investment in your home, and like any investment you must consider the return you expect from this outlay of time and money.

A bathroom renovation is a big decision.  You are not only committing to the expense but also the temporary inconvenience of inviting designers, project managers, and workmen into your home.  While you are undergoing this temporary upheaval in your home life, why not get the biggest bang for your buck?  One way to do this is to add a closet upgrade to your bath or master suite remodeling project.
