Laundry Room Remodel

Laundry Room Remodel

Are you tired of your old, cramped, dark laundry room? Do you wish for a beautiful and efficient space to do your laundry in? If so, then it’s time to remodel your laundry room with DBI Kitchen and Bath!

The Process

Remodeling can be an intimidating process but with the right planning and design ideas, you can transform your outdated laundry room into something more modern and functional. In this article, we will discuss some tips and tricks on how you can make the most out of your space when remodeling a small or large laundry room. We will explore various storage options that are both stylish and practical while providing plenty of countertop space to work on. Finally, we will look at ways to incorporate decorative elements that add a little bit of personality to an otherwise utilitarian area. So if you’re ready for a change in your home, read on for some inspiration!

Practical Improvements

Having a countertop in a laundry room is incredibly useful for many reasons. It provides a practical workspace for sorting, folding, and mending clothes, as well as space to install a washing machine and other necessary appliances. A countertop can also provide additional storage for cleaning supplies, such as detergent and fabric softener, and a place to hang a drying rack.

Decorating

When it comes to decorating, there are plenty of ways to make the laundry room feel like an extension of the rest of your home. For example, choose bright or colorful wallpaper for a cheerful look, or opt for wood paneling for a more rustic effect. If you’d like something in between, try a tone-on-tone wallpaper that adds texture without the addition of color. Add personalized touches with framed artwork or family photos, and don’t forget some cool lighting fixtures to brighten up the space.

Storage

Finally, if your laundry room is large enough to accommodate some structures, adding a built-in or storage bench will make your laundry space more functional and efficient. A washing machine or dryer that’s mounted on a shelf can also help declutter the area and make it easier to move around in. With these tips, you can easily transform your laundry room into an inviting space that you won’t mind spending time in.

Spring Kitchen Remodel Ideas

Spring Kitchen Remodel Ideas

For many homeowners, spring is a great time to work on home improvements, including remodeling projects. Between the ideal weather, springtime deals, and the desire to enjoy new renovations with friends and family during the summer, this is the perfect season to kick off a kitchen remodel.

5 remodeling ideas for your spring kitchen renovation

Budget or no budget, small space or large, these kitchen remodeling ideas won’t disappoint. You can complete these improvement projects in a variety of ways, making it easy to tailor them to your specific needs and home.

1. Upgrade hardware

Updating kitchen hardware such as cabinet handles, cabinet hinges, drawer pulls, knobs, sink fixtures, and more makes all the difference. This simple and affordable remodeling project is an easy way to improve your kitchen design this spring.

2. Install new kitchen countertops

Installing new countertops is typically a pricier kitchen renovation, but it’s well worth the overall investment for your house. Even if everything else in your kitchen is new, old countertops can make the space look outdated. Kitchen countertop remodels vary greatly in price based on the material you choose. Some frequently used materials that we recommend include granite, quartz, and laminate.

3. Update kitchen cabinets

Updating cabinetry is a surefire way to modernize your kitchen design. Whether you decide to install new cabinets entirely or refurbish the ones you already have, this renovation can be completed affordably. Remember, adding new pulls can change everything! It all depends on the materials and styles you choose.

4. Add open shelving

Open shelving is a popular kitchen renovation these days. While it brings a modern flare to the space, it also adds easy access to storage, which can be extremely beneficial for cooking, cleaning, and décor. Open shelving also gives you lots of design and styling choices, which can be a fun home improvement project for the spring.

5. Redo kitchen flooring

Though redoing flooring is one of the major kitchen renovations, it’s a project that increases the value of homes. Again, the material will have a big impact on cost, so you can tailor your decisions to your budget. Some of the materials we most frequently recommend to homeowners include tile, stone, luxury vinyl planks/luxury vinyl tiles (LVP/LVT), and hardwood.

Spring Remodel Ideas Maryville Tn

Spring Remodel Ideas Maryville Tn

Spring has sprung in Tennessee! The Pollen Counts are off the charts, and we are buzzing with renovation projects! With the warmer weather and longer days, you may be itching to increase your home’s function and aesthetics! While there are certainly more in-depth projects than the ones listed below that we can help you with, here are 5 Spring Remodel Ideas for Maryville, Tn.

1 | Increase Storage with Built-Ins!

We’ve all got that one room that seems to gather stuff like the garage, mudroom, or even a storage closet! Simply decluttering these areas can make a huge impact on how you feel in your home. Whether you get new built-in shelves, a new Mudroom Bench with coat hangers and storage underneath, or a new customer closet design, your home will be cleaner and more organized, taking your “Spring Cleaning” to a new level.
Another option is to upgrade your kitchen or bathroom cabinetry. The increased space and functionality, along with cleaning up lines, can make for an amazing spring transformation.

2 | Dress up your Deck

We all love spending some good “deck time” outdoors while grilling and chilling. But our decks take a beating every year, so why not spruce them up? If you don’t have one, this is a great addition to any house to add space and functionality. Whether it’s new wood, a screened-in porch, an outdoor grilling station or kitchen, or simply a new coat of stain, you’ll love spending time on your upgraded deck!

3 | Resurface your Driveway

Blount County is one of the nation’s most tree-filled counties. It’s known as “The Foothills of The Smokies,” and for a good reason. The mountain ecosystem including its trees trickles into the towns in the area. The roots that hold up this canopy can wreck your driveway. That, along with torrential downpours, large SUVs, and natural wear and tear, can DESTROY your driveway. Springtime is the perfect time to redo this as concrete or asphalt needs the warmer weather

4 | Brighten up the Paint!

There’s no easier way to freshen up a single room or the entire house than by painting. Hiring a professional painter to come in, clean up the old paint and apply a new coat will have your house looking like new. Using lighter colors makes spaces feel larger and cleaner! To add another layer of freshness, layer in new and bright colors through accents like pillows or area rugs!

5| Let the Sun in!

This option is a little bit more labor-intensive but can pay stunning dividends. Opening a wall and filling it with windows can add an abundance of natural light, making spaces feel larger and more attractive. Additionally, replacing old winds and doors can increase the amount of light that comes through as natural wear and tear distract from their natural light flow. This will also increase your house’s energy efficiency and boost your curb appeal!

Mistakes Made When Remodeling a Bathroom

Mistakes Made When Remodeling a Bathroom

You may want to renovate your kitchen to be the home’s hub, but a dream bathroom serves a different purpose altogether. The kitchen brings everyone together, but the bathroom is a retreat from your hectic lifestyle where you can enjoy some much-needed time. Whether you want to relax at the end of a long day or have some peace and quiet, the right bathroom can do both.

However, a bathroom reno, although exciting, is more complex than remodeling some of the other rooms in your home. If you need some help, you should look for the warning signs of a bad contractor in any type of renovation project. But beyond that, there are certain mistakes you’ll want to avoid while renovating your bathroom. Here are 18 things to look out for, according to design experts.

Not visualizing what the design will look like

Technology has made it even easier to fully plan your bathroom reno, and it would certainly be a mistake not to take advantage of the digital tools at your disposal. “Years ago, it was a bit of an act of blind faith because you would have drawings, samples of materials, etcetera, but a lot was left to the imagination about how your room was going to end up,” says Mark Cutler, cofounder of L.A. firm CutlerSchulze. “Now you have the option of creating almost photorealistic renderings that show every detail of the design.” Cutler admits that some of these renderings cost “not an insignificant amount of money.” However, he says that they can save you countless hours and thousands of dollars in the end.

Putting the cart before the horse

It’s understandable that you’d want to focus on the finishes. However, Charmaine Wynter, design principal at Charmaine Wynter Interiors in Southlake, Texas, warns that it’s a mistake to spend less attention and energy on the less glamorous parts of the renovation. “For example, people often research at length the grout color, but they fail to consider if the tile requires sanded or non-sanded grout, or if the grout must be sealed versus unsealed.” Wynter also points out that it’s possible to spend hours searching for the perfect tile, but then fail to determine how much space is required between each tile for the proper adherence and to resist cracking. “In essence, DIY enthusiasts often put the cart before the horse, or the aesthetic before the function,” she says.

Avoid Mistakes on Your Bathroom Renovation Project

Avoid Making These Mistakes on Your Bathroom Renovation Project

You may want to renovate your kitchen to be the home’s hub, but a dream bathroom serves a different purpose altogether. The kitchen brings everyone together, but the bathroom is a retreat from your hectic lifestyle where you can enjoy some much-needed time. Whether you want to relax at the end of a long day or have some peace and quiet, the right bathroom can do both.

However, a bathroom reno, although exciting, is more complex than remodeling some of the other rooms in your home. If you need some help, you should look for the warning signs of a bad contractor in any type of renovation project. But beyond that, there are certain mistakes you’ll want to avoid while renovating your bathroom. Here are 18 things to look out for, according to design experts.

Failing to plan ahead

Some projects don’t take a lot of thought and planning, but this won’t be one of those. “You can wake up on Saturday morning and decide to paint your bedroom or dining room and be successful, but the same is not true with a bathroom project,” explains Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews Design in Los Angeles. “You need to be well aware of the plumbing and electrical, understand the different flooring and surface materials… Even a few coats of paint could cause problems if you don’t have good ventilation.” In order words, you need to think through all of those components and more before embarking on a bathroom reno.

His view is shared by Stephen Pallrand, founder at CarbonShack in Los Angeles, who recommends taking the time—and hiring the right professionals if budget allows—to draw up a really good, carefully considered layout. “It can be very tricky to fit in all the various elements you want to include in your new bathroom in a way that (1) makes sense, (2) looks good, (3) functions properly, and (4) conforms to your area’s building codes,” Pallrand recommends drawing up as many different iterations of the bathroom layout as you need to be confident that you’ve considered everything. “Putting in this extra work at the beginning of the project will help you avoid any undesirable, unintended consequences later on,” he says.

Remodel Your Kitchen

Avoid these Common Kitchen Mistakes

Renovating your kitchen is one of the best things you can do to improve the functionality of your home while also adding significant resale value–if it’s done right!

Unfortunately, there are numerous ways a kitchen remodel can go wrong, especially when it comes to budgeting, changing the kitchen layout, and choosing materials.

Whether you’re committed to a DIY remodel or you’re seeking the help of experts, we’ve outlined the most common kitchen renovation mistakes and the pro kitchen remodel tips to help you avoid them.

As you set out on your new project, steer clear of the following kitchen design mistakes with the help of expert kitchen remodeling tips and advice:

Neglecting the Existing Plumbing

One of the biggest kitchen design mistakes you can make during a remodel is failing to consider plumbing.

When designing a new kitchen layout, it may seem like a good idea to put your sink in a new spot or get a fridge with a built-in water dispenser. But many homeowners underestimate the practicality of moving plumbing to accommodate new additions and get stuck with a pushed back timeline and significantly extra costs.

Pro Tip

Make sure to check all your plans with a plumber before you get started. You may have to build your design around what’s possible rather than the most aesthetically pleasing arrangement. Changing your design is a lot easier than having to figure out what to do with material and units that don’t work.

Forgetting about Lights

Many homeowners forget to plan for new lighting fixtures when renovating kitchens, especially if their space already has a lot of natural light. The last thing you want is for light so dim it’s hard to see what you’re chopping or to bump your head on a pendant light that’s hung too low.

Pro Tip

Choose appropriate kitchen lights for each of these three categories: ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting.

Ambient lighting will be your brightest and most illuminating set of lights in your kitchen. You would typically turn these on when you need to see all details of your kitchen, like when you’re cleaning or prepping food. Typically ambient lights are set in your ceiling and can be flush mount or recessed lights.

Tasking lighting is meant for illuminating your counter or stovetop for detailed tasks. You can install linear track lighting on the ceiling (usually over a bar or island), undercabinet lights to focus on your countertops or hood range lights over your stove.

Accent lighting should be installed to complement the ambient lighting you install. Pendant lights are the most popular today, but you can also find wall sconces and chandeliers. Here are some tips for properly hanging pendant lights. For standard eight-foot ceilings, you should hang your pendant lights between 10 and 12 inches below the ceiling plane. Add about three inches to your pendant light for each foot taller your ceiling is so it’s not awkwardly hung from the ceiling.

Kitchen Design Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

Renovating your kitchen is one of the best things you can do to improve the functionality of your home while also adding significant resale value–if it’s done right!

Unfortunately, there are numerous ways a kitchen remodel can go wrong, especially when it comes to budgeting, changing the kitchen layout, and choosing materials.

Whether you’re committed to a DIY remodel or you’re seeking the help of experts, we’ve outlined the most common kitchen renovation mistakes and the pro kitchen remodel tips to help you avoid them.

As you set out on your new project, steer clear of the following kitchen design mistakes with the help of expert kitchen remodeling tips and advice:

Choosing Materials That Are Hard to Clean or Install

A common mistake in kitchen renovations is choosing materials and items that give you your desired look but end up being hard to install or even harder to keep clean.

Pro Tip

Make smart design and installation choices. For example, click-lock flooring options will be much easier to install than glue-down varieties, especially if you’re doing DIY renovations. Pre-assembled cabinets reduce the time it takes to install them. Glass refrigerator shelves catch spills that would drip right through wire shelves. Undermount or solid piece sinks prevent crumbs from catching in grooves. Matte finishes don’t show dirt as much as glossy ones do.

Too Much Open Shelving

Open shelving is a common design trend that can allow you to display beautiful, coordinated dish sets or serving dishes.

But if every cabinet in your kitchen is open, things can quickly look messy if dishes are put away chaotically by young children or if you end up needing to store food on the shelves when you run out of room in your pantry. Open shelving also causes dishes to collect dust more quickly.

Pro Tip

Consider a mix of traditional cupboards and open shelving. Plan to display your best, most coordinated collections of dishes on open shelves. Put everyday dishware, plastic items, small appliances, and food in your cabinets.

Not Including Enough Electrical Outlets

One of the most frustrating kitchen mistakes is not having enough electrical outlets! Are you the kind of cook who needs to plug in a blender, toaster, griddle, Instapot, and more all at once? Or maybe you just always need an outlet to charge your dying phone as you make your newest online recipe.

Older homes are particularly likely to have fewer outlets than your family needs, so upgrading your electrical outlets will be an important part of your renovation.

Pro Tip

Your electrical outlet plans should start by meeting the standards in the National Electrical Code established by the U.S. National Fire Protection Association. Here are some of the basics: outlets should be no more than 48 inches from each other, any countertop more than 12 inches wide should have an electrical outlet, and outlets should not be more than 20 inches above the countertop except in kitchen islands or when accommodating disabilities.

Electrical codes can be adapted locally, so make sure to find out the exact code requirements when planning your remodel. Following these standards should help you have enough outlets for everything you need. Consider installing four plug-ins at each electrical port instead of just two. You can also find outlet configurations that have built-in USB ports for phone chargers.
