Open floor plans - They are more popular than ever; it keeps spaces light and airy, and people are focusing on spending time together making the most out of this tech-driven society. Bringing the outdoors in and vice-versa - Using multiple sliders/bifold patio doors and lots of windows allowing for more natural light and expansion of the living area. Quartz countertops - Yes it’s man-made, but the choices are endless and the maintenance free qualities are very appealing even though it is on the more expensive side. Accent walls - Some designers say they have had their time, but I saw a lot of ‘feature walls’ with shelves, brick, tile and panelling from bedroom and bathroom walls to TV walls and everywhere in between. Wood floors - A lot of people are opting for vinyl (wood look) floors for their value and comfort, but you can’t beat the real thing, especially for resale, and depending on the vinyl it can sometimes cost just as much! The tones of wood are more on the lighter side, which look great and airy, but who knows how long this trend will last? So if it’s not your forever home I advise to stick with medium tones - again, it’s classic. Master bathrooms - Builders are replacing shower/tub combos with separate walk-in showers, and free-standing tubs, making it the focal point. Smart technology - Installation of Smart home technology is becoming more popular with added safety/security cameras and energy efficient features such as lights turning off when you leave, and sprinkler systems and thermostats being accessed while away at the touch of a button. There also seems to be a lot of mudrooms off the garage, large walk-in pantries, and lots of little nooks, window seats, and under the stairs hide aways. Whether you are building a custom home or renovating an existing one, I hope you have fun with your selections!

The house makeover that you did was a bomb! I wasn't expecting it would be that visually good, but the design you simply came up to was impressive. When you have an eye for designing, you need to maximize it by coming up with certain things and new designs that you have in your mind. You can never be a designer if you don't welcome new ideas! These ideas deserve to be applied. Back on the design of your house, there is nothing that I can ask for more because I love it! 12/17/2019 08:27:48 am
Home safety is the most important need for everyone. We should try to maintain every part of our home so that we can save our home & money such as home electric items, plugins, switches etc. Thanks for sharing your lovely stuff. :)
I came across your blog when I was trying to find some answers regarding how long the construction process, on average, takes for a 30+ storey condo development in Singapore. We have just moved into a lovely development off River Valley Rd and there is a huge construction site on the other side of the road. They have already completed the piling and first level for one of the towers but, from what I can see, they are still digging to set up the foundation for the second tower. I was wondering if you know how long the 'pile driving' part takes and if that really is the worst of the noise. I have to admit that they don't work on Sundays or after 6pm on weekdays (so far). 1/14/2020 04:24:52 am
Well, no one can deny the wonderful fact that the mirror reflects the symbol of absolute elegance. If you are planning to place something huge yet impressing then you can blindly trust that, mirror is the ultimate solution. When it comes about fabricating the artistic grace to your dwelling, the mirror makes it indeed praiseworthy. It provides the royal look to your walls. So, one must consider the placement of mirror over the corner of the walls will chalking out the abstraction for residence 1/16/2020 10:51:12 pm

Should the average homeowner know anything about home building and construction? Ideally, the answer to this question should be no because it is expected that the contractor be the one to take care of everything for the homeowner. The problem is that there are a lot of things that calls for some awareness on the part of the homeowner as far as knowledge about home construction is concerned. 4/11/2020 12:06:48 am

This is some really good information about garage door repair. It is good to know that you should get dings and dents out of the door. That is a good thing to know because it would be smart to have someone with a lot of experience. Leave a Reply. |
