Designing your bathroom remodel requires a balance – what do you love and what will you continue to love as time marches on. It’s a balance of personal preferences and trends and, with the right kitchen design team on your side, you should be able to create a Chicago bathroom remodel that accomplishes both.
It’s that time of year – the beginning – when we take a look at where Chicago kitchen design trends are headed.
Many of last year’s trends – open concepts, layered lighting and durable countertop and flooring choices – are still at the top of homeowner remodeling lists.
Think it’s odd to see the words “luxury” and “vinyl” in the same sentence? Well, not too long ago you would have been right. Then, the vinyl flooring manufacturers leveraged all that modern technology has to offer – and the results are flooring products that surprise you when it comes to pattern, texture and overall quality.
What do Chicago kitchens and website marketing have in common? The concept of “responsive design.”
Looking to update a half-bath or powder room? Often on the smaller side, these bathrooms can be tricky as you balance upscale design features with rooms that should also be functional – particularly if you have a family.
Ready to get going on your Chicago bathroom design? Before you go too far, we recommend checking out four luxury bathroom features you might not have landed on thus far in your designer research. While perusing design websites and magazines can get you started, professional designers and builders are the ones who have the inside scoop on luxury features that are both high-quality and functional.
You’d think the kitchen would be the most dangerous room in the house – given the sharp knives and hot surfaces at work. In fact, according to AARP and the CDC, the majority of serious household accidents take place in the bathroom – and this is especially true for seniors 65-years and older. As a result, universal home designs are in high-demand and home design manufacturers are designing things like curbless showers and walk-in bathtubs to help keep homeowners safe.
A while back, we posted, Designing for the Creative Cook, in which we outlined features gourmet cooks should consider remodeling. However, not every chef is “gourmet.”
Chicago homeowners who aren’t interested in natural stone countertops are inevitably drawn to porcelain options for kitchen and bath remodels. This minimally-porous, highly customizable countertop surface has many of the benefits of natural stone or quartz countertops.
Brrrrr….it’s getting cold out there. If your central heater is keeping the edge off, odds are your feet and bare skin are still very aware of the change in seasons when you step onto cold flooring - or out of a steamy shower - into a “not quite warm enough” bathroom.
Fortunately, we have 5 warming solutions for your Chicago bathroom remodel that come in handy all year-round.
