Published by Greg Drusch
Each new year offers new home fashion fads and updates in current home fashion trends. While these features offer modern and exciting methods of adding character to your home, let us not forget about some tried and true home additions that can introduce flavor and style to your living spaces. Check out these timeless features for ideas on adding fashion value to your home.
Subway Tile
Aside from adding value as a wall protectant, a backsplash offers home owners an exciting and personalized method of accenting their current home fashion. A properly installed backsplash provides homeowners with a durable fashion addition that requires very little maintenance. With endless variations in shapes, colors, and sizes, each backsplash offers homeowners unlimited options to add their own personal touch to their living space.
Pro Tip: Add unique patterns above cooking stations to create an attractive focal point.
Neutral Colors
Neutral colors offer a timeless interior design strategy which allows for future design flexibility and fashion updating while maintaining a high level of style. These colors allow homeowners to fluctuate between color schemes with ease, provide endless design opportunities, and place desired emphasis on stylish room furnishings.
Pro Tip: Using slightly varying shades of neutral colors can offer color contrast to rooms. Try a slightly darker shade lower on walls and a lighter shade above to create a 3D effect.
Shaker Style Cabinets
Shaker cabinets not only provide homeowners with additional storage and organizational space, but lend a versatile cabinet design able to add a classic look to either modern or traditional kitchen spaces. With an ability to be easily stained or painted to bring out existing color schemes, shaker cabinets are a timeless fashion feature to complete the desired kitchen look.
Pro Tip: Painting shaker cabinets white or gray adds a bright, contemporary feel that works well in modern design kitchens.
Mid-colored Stain
Ideal for hardwood flooring, window trim, and door trim, staining provides homeowners with the ability to obtain their desired color scheme throughout the home. Offering an unlimited potential of color options, stain can be utilized in numerous color schemes to add fashion value.
Pro Tip: Light stain offers an airy vibe, while dark stain provides the room with a more formal appearance.
Pantries
Providing kitchens with an added organized space for increased storage, pantries are a timeless home feature that remains highly desired. A strategically built pantry allows for a much more efficient and organized kitchen space, offering homeowners a clean look and extended counter space.
Pro Tip: Design more shallow shelving space while creating your pantry to ensure for more convenient visibility and access of your items.
