Design Elements That You Won’t Regret in 5 Years

Neutral Tones

It is so easy to get caught up in the trendy design color trends that but there’s something to be said about neutral tones that work in every home and is always in style.  Typically, bold patterns and jewel colors are not sustainable in the long run. Instead of redoing your flooring, kitchen/bathroom cabinets and repainting your entire home to mirror the latest trend, opt for bold colored accessories such as pillows, throws, window covering, rugs, lighting, accent art pieces and furniture.

Countertops

Natural stone such as marble, granite, and engineered stone options such as quartzite will always bring a touch of luxury to your kitchen and bathrooms. Neutral colored stone countertops are beautiful, practical, durable and timeless. With proper maintenance, stone countertops will outlive trendy options such as concrete, wood and tile.

White Kitchens

White kitchen cabinets, even combined with white countertops and white walls, work with contemporary and traditional interior design.  Ornate, distressed and glazed finishing surfaces will eventually look dated but crispy white is alway chic and timeless.  Update cabinets with trendy hardware of your choice to inexpesively transition from modern, traditional to industrial.

Wet and Home Bars

Fireplace

Wether you opt for a gas or a wood burning fireplace, it always brings a touch of coziness to a room where people gather. Regardless of the style, homeowners  frequently arrange their sitting areas near a fireplace.  It is often a center of attention and becomes a favorite display area for seasonal and holiday decor.
