Renovations: Function or Style First?
When it comes to your home renovations, you may be asking yourself whether function or style should go first. The answer is both! Personalizing the style of your design while focusing on the function that you need from it, will help you make far better decisions during your remodelling process. Take a look at these ideas that can help you bring modern style and function into your home.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is one of — if not the — focal areas of the home. It’s where the culinary magic happens and, it’s often where most people congregate. So function and style are both essential aspects when redesigning this space. If you’re remodelling your kitchen, take some time to consider factors like the countertop space, the flow of the layout, the location of pots and pans, the size of the sink and whether it all serves your needs well. Combine this with personalized design touches that you enjoy, like brass fixtures or dark wood cabinetry, and you can have the best of both worlds.
The Bathroom
Similar to the kitchen, the bathroom is a room that’s frequently used in the home for a specific purpose. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative and transform it into your own little spa-like oasis. The function is already a central element here no matter what, so it really comes down to how you choose to style certain areas of the bathroom. You can really customize your design by focusing on areas like the shower, tub, faucets, floor and vanity.
The Basement
If you have an unfinished basement, now’s the time to finally take that leap and remodel it into a space that you or the kids can use. But first, take some time to really consider what you need. Since the basement is somewhat removed from the main floor of the house, it lets you get creative with its style and function. Whether you’ve been dreaming of having your personal at-home gym, or a playroom for the kids, or even a games room and bar to entertain family or friends, don’t be afraid to get a little crazy with this space.
