Romancing the Home

Sometimes we need a little home remodeling design refresh with some interior design details to add some sizzle and romance to the home. A strategic makeover can create a new look, make the home cozier, and another layer of your personal touch. Try to detach from the status quo, and take a critical look and imagine if any of these ideas will freshen up your experience and evoke the energy that is missing.

Walls frame the room, what would a change in color do? There is psychology to color, evoking moods. Do you want to lighten to brighten the room? Be bold in color? Create an accented wall with different color of paint or wallpaper? Home remodeling design with strips of wood for a geometric pattern can create great visual interest. What about wainscoting or shiplap?

Intimate Seating. Can furniture be rearranged to create a sitting area for private conversation, or reading nook with a comfortable chair and side table? Perhaps you always wanted a porch swing, there are even hanging day beds! What home remodeling design would seem like personal luxury to relax and unwind?

Upgraded lighting can make a home look like its ready for a magazine shoot. You want an even bath of light from recessed can lights, scones, floor lamps to eliminates shadows, with options to dim or brighten. Indirect lighting can create an ambiance that draws you in. There are lighting systems that you can preset your lighting depending on the time of day or activity.

Hobby or Entertainment facilitation. Does your home facilitate what you love to do? Do you love to dance? Play board or card games with friends? Are you a foodie that you love to eat like cultures that truly make a meal a social event of courses and conversation? Do you like to host Bible studies or prayer groups, personal development or empowerment training?  Do you paint, write, do puzzles or crafts? Do you prefer to workout at home? Be outside? Your home should facilitate your lifestyle.

Furniture and accessory embellishment. Granny Chic look is a top trend pairing nostalgic items with modern design to evoke the unique coziness you would find in your grandmother’s house. Floral and plaid patterns, embellished textiles and bright colors are key elements.  Getting new bedding can be an easy change to make your bedroom like new. Remember to refresh your memorabilia of favorite photos in frames around the home.

Nature Vibes. Bring the outdoors in to bright your mood and facilitate relaxation. It can be hanging potted plants, on shelves, or better yet a vertical garden that also provides food. Plants take up carbon dioxide, add oxygen, some even are said to help buffer the EFT we are exposed to from screens and WIFI.  If you have an area with low sunlight, you can achieve the same look with a dried plant.

Your home is an investment in your day to day living experience. Have your home romance you to make your life be the best it can be, and always be improving!

 

See how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called children of God; and in fact we are. 1 John 3:1

Clients Reviews

I can’t say anything negative about Cook Remodeling. I absolutely adore them. They did everything that they said they would do. They did such a super job for my previous home where they did a kitchen, a bathroom, and a room addition. In this house I did not hesitate to call them do a complete room addition. I would recommend Cook Remodeling to anybody. I have referred them to several of my friends and have never had any bad feedback.
