In Las Vegas, where the line between indoor and outdoor living is often blurred by stunning architecture and year-round sunshine, creating a seamless transition between your home’s interior and exterior spaces is more than a design choice—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Whether you’re entertaining by the pool, grilling on the patio, or simply enjoying the view […]
If you are like most homeowners, you have been in your amazing home for several years. Over time we evolve, and our personal taste will change, making our home outdated, which no longer appeals to us. This factor is a common challenge, so we need to realize it and determine our plan to refresh and update it. When you are aware of your personal growth and use that as a positive, it is so refreshing and satisfying! Just follow a few of our tips and tricks below for that “WOW” outcome that you desire.
Paint
Painting the entire room is always the first task. With current design trends, many are opting for an all-white, crisp room. In fact, homeowners are painting the entire room white, including walls, doors, and trim. If this is your style, do not overlook the ceiling. You can even paint the ceiling a light pastel or for a more dramatic effect, paint it a bold color. Also, if you have chosen to paint the room white, think about painting the doors and trim a flat or high-gloss black for a stunning dramatic look.
Floors
Do not overlook the flooring. If you have hardwoods with scratches, think about refreshing them. Plus, this would be the perfect time to change the color and finish of the hardwoods. If completely changing your flooring is not an option, add or purchase a new area rug. Also, if you are tired of your wall to wall carpeting, simply buy an area rug and place under the dining table for a quick pop of color and added texture based on the fiber style of the rug. If your dining room is on the large side, try placing the table at an angle and make sure the area rug is placed in the same direction to create a dramatic look as soon as you walk into the room.
Lighting
Do you have a chandelier and possibly wall sconces on either side of your buffet or bar? If not, what an easy, quick, and relatively inexpensive way to upgrade the room. We recommend purchasing new lighting to refresh your space’s design. In fact, lighting can completely transform a space by bringing new life and energy to the room, so be sure to include a variety of lights.
