Best and Worst Closet Trends for 2015

Closets are just for storage in the home, right?! WRONG!

Today’s homeowners need storage solutions that transcend the typical dark closet with shelves. More and more, our clients at Pedigo Construction in Plano, Texas are requesting Plano closet solutions to make their closets more functional extensions of their rooms within the home.

Zillow Digs recently released its 2015 Home Design Trend Forecast, naming the best and worst closet trends for today, and we couldn’t agree more with their findings!

Best in Show

·      Transparent Storage Solutions: Homeowners are wanting to be able to see the things in their closet more clearly, both as a form of display and as a means to find things more easily! Expect to see more frosted finishes, see through drawers, etc. This is particularly true of bedroom closets that are truly becoming an extension of the bedroom.

·      Spotlights: One of the biggest trends this year has been spotlight lighting, accenting portions of the closet and giving closets in the home the same lighting and ambiance that you might see in a boutique.

·      Combining Finishes: It’s no longer enough to paint your closet one shade of white and call it good. Particularly in bedroom closets, homeowners want to customize their Plano closet solutions to their tastes. Expect to see mixtures of wood and metal, dark leather and light finishes, etc.

So Last Year

·      Doors: The big trend in closets is to make the closet a part of the room, not a place to hide your things. Expect to see sliding barn doors, curtains, and more open solutions for separating the closet from the room.

·      One Size Fits All: Designers agree that customization is on the rise across the board. Homeowners do not want to go to a big box store and grab a few wire racks and a clothing bar. Plano homeowners want a mixture of baskets, shelves, wood, leather, and other personal touches to make the closet their own.

·      Dark Closets: Lighting and clear visibility to all in the space are of key importance to today’s homeowner.

Get Your Patio Ready for Fall!

Add a Patio Cover

How to Choose the Right Countertop for your Dallas Kitchen Remodel

When deciding to do a Dallas kitchen remodel, you know you want everything to be perfect. Since the kitchen is typically the hub of the home, you’ll want to make sure that the materials you pick – from the cabinets, to the lighting, to the appliances, and of course countertops! – fit your needs.

Countertops are perhaps one of the most important materials to “get right” because there is so much that they are used for on a daily basis. Before picking the countertop for your next kitchen remodel with Pedigo Construction, consider these questions:

How often will I use the surface?

Will you be preparing meals 3 times a day on your countertops – or do you eat out and only prepare meals occasionally? Your actual use of the countertops makes a huge difference in what might be best for your family. Solid surface countertops – like Corian – are very durable and generally stain resistant, making them an excellent choice for an active kitchen. Granite and other natural stone countertops are still the ever popular choice in countertops, but depending on the type, it may require more maintenance and care.

What is my countertop budget?

The type of countertop you choose may come down to how much of your overall Dallas kitchen remodel budget is dedicated to the countertops. Exotic granites and natural stones are gorgeous, but often pricey. Laminate and concrete countertops are on the opposite end of the spectrum, and provide many options in terms of style. An easy to find granite can be a good option, as it is generally more affordable and still looks beautiful with any style of kitchen.

What is my style?

The style of kitchen will be a key part of determining which kitchen countertop works best for you. Traditional kitchens lend themselves toward stone or solid surface countertops; a more modern kitchen may use concrete or wood. Or your may choose to mix and match styles on the main workspaces and the island. One thing is for sure – there is a style for everyone!

Not sure which countertop will work best in your new kitchen remodel in Dallas? Then give our team at Pedigo Construction a call today! Our team of experts can walk you through all of your options and help you create the kitchen of your dreams!
