Cabinetry, Credenzas and Floors, Oh My!
One of the most fun things about a home improvement project is picking décor. A homeowner can spend hours looking through magazines, visiting home improvement stores and logging on to online stores trying to pick the right décor for the home. The three biggest choices a homeowner will make are the flooring, cabinetry and wall color. Here are a few helpful hints to get you on your way to a beautiful home!
Floors
Arguably, the first choice you should make in home décor is the flooring. The homeowner should consider décor, durability and cost when making this decision. For a lot of homeowners, carpet seems to be the easiest and least expensive choice, but those with pets and small children may want to consider wood or laminate because of durability. While installing hard surface flooring may be a bit more expensive, it will save the homeowner money in the long run. Most carpets will be replaced every 2 to 3 years, as opposed to hardwoods or laminate flooring, which rarely needs replacing. With so many colors and types to choose from, hard surface flooring will fit any décor.
Cabinetry
When choosing cabinetry, the homeowner needs to make sure she chooses a quality company. Cabinet companies, such as Manhattan Cabinetry Inc. specialize in all types of cabinetry for a home or office and have a good reputation for their craftsmanship. Also when choosing cabinetry, the homeowner should consider pieces that may not be the usual. Credenzas, for instance may have a reputation for being office furniture, but with so many styles and materials these days, Credenzas can be used as dining room buffet tables and even sink bases for your bathroom!
Wall Colors
Homeowners should look at wall colors as the icing on the cake. After flooring and cabinetry have been installed, choose one piece of furniture or fabric to build your cc around and then choose a color that compliments the room. If your room has lots of windows, colors such as blues and soft greens, may be great because they will blend the outside in with the inside. These colors work especially well if you live near a beach! Also, homeowners shouldn’t be afraid to use bold colors, such as orange or purple, as long as they don’t overwhelm the space. Getting advice from a local paint store may also aid in color decisions.
Most importantly, the homeowner should have with the process!
