Add Feng Shui to Your Kitchen with These 5 Tips

Sticky Post By On February 19, 2018

True feng shui will add function to your kitchen, and that will create balance, not only in the space, but in your life as well. Feng shui concentrates on the elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth, and in your kitchen, you are going to want to balance materials and textures to create a well-balanced space.

Here are 5 tips for adding feng shui to your kitchen:

  1. Eliminate Clutter: Feng shui focuses on the positive energy, or chi, in your life, and clutter is the exact opposite of that. Therefore, you will need to eliminate all the clutter in your kitchen. We recommend removing all the items that you never use, and then neatly store and organize whatever is left.
  2. Consider the Flow: Everyone has a different way of using their kitchen, which is why you can use magazines for ideas, but that is it. When you design your kitchen, you need to create a layout that will work best for you and how you use the space.
  3. Variety of Textures: Balancing the elements is a necessity in a kitchen and you will want to make sure that there are many different textures in your design.
  4. Beautiful Lighting: There should never be any dark corners in any kitchen, but especially in one designed with feng shui in mind. We recommend installing lights that can be used to perform tasks as well as lights that can be used for ambient lighting.
  5. Timelessness: Your kitchen remodel should be kept timeless, so that it will last for many years in the future. After all, chaos and upset are feng shui’s worst enemies, so you do not need any disruptions every few years with another remodel.

Remodel for Functionality and Stylistic Purposes

The goal of any kitchen remodel is to create a space that is functional and works well for your family. These feng shui tips will only help enhance your kitchen and make it even better for you and your family. If you are tired of looking at piles of paper on the counter or having things falling out of your cabinets, it might be time to implement a few of these tips. You might be surprised at how much calmer you feel afterwards, every time you walk into your kitchen.

5 Things to Consider During Your Bathroom Remodel

Sticky Post By On February 19, 2018

How much time do you spend in your bathroom every day? How many other people share the space with you? Are mornings the most hectic time of the day because your bathroom can’t handle the traffic? We have a few changes in mind that will make your bathroom better than it is right now and make you want to spend even more time in there.

Here are 5 things to consider during your bathroom remodel:

Functionality

Functionality should always be your biggest priority when it comes to your bathroom. If your bathroom doesn’t function well, then you haven’t designed it right. To make this room work the best for you and your family, you will want to answer the following questions:

  • How many people use the bathroom at the same time?
  • Do we need a built-in space for shampoo, conditioner, and soap?
  • Do we need to replace the tub, or do we just want a walk-in shower?
  • How much storage do we need?

Dream Big

This is the best part of the process because you get to dream as big as you can! You can think of how you are going to be using this space far in the future as well as everything that you would love to have in your bathroom. It doesn’t mean that you will get everything that you want, but it will give you something to work towards.

Create a Remodeling Timeline

If you are in no hurry to have your bathroom finished, then you will not need to worry about what you can and cannot have done during the remodel. However, if you need the space completed within a week, then you may find yourself limited with what features you can have.

Consider Aging in Place Features

We are all going to get older, and if you plan on staying in your current home when you are older, now might be the time to add these features to your bathroom. Roll-in showers and grab bars make it easy for people of all ages to shower, plus they can be helpful if you have an accident and need to be in a wheelchair for a few weeks when you are younger.

Don’t Sacrifice Quality for Aesthetics

While we know that you want your bathroom to look gorgeous, you should never sacrifice the quality of the products that you use for the look of the product. Thankfully, there are many products out there that are of excellent quality and they look amazing too.
