Thinking about Renovating? 10 Ways to Customize your Home
At USIL we love helping clients transform their homes into spaces that truly reflect their unique personalities and lifestyles. When renovating your home, there are so many ways to customize it to make it feel more like you. As you consider your options, remember that working with an interior designer can help you take your space to the next level, ensuring that every aspect is customized to your preferences and needs and that the whole project is orchestrated in harmony. In this blog post, we’re excited to share ten ideas for customizing your home during a renovation, including some unexpected options you may not have considered.
Built-ins
Custom built-ins are one of the most common features we incorporate into our clients’ designs. Adding built-in shelving, cabinets, or other storage solutions can be a game-changer when it comes to maximizing your space and adding functional yet stylish design elements. From bookcases to window seats to hidden storage, the options are endless.
Custom Dining Tables
Dining tables are often the centerpiece of a home, and a custom-designed table can add a unique touch that reflects your personal style. Whether you prefer rustic wood or polished stone, or something else, a custom dining table can be tailored to fit your space perfectly. At USIL, we often design custom dining tables and have them built just for our clients.
Window Treatments
Don't underestimate the impact of beautiful window treatments on your home's overall aesthetic. Whether you opt for custom drapes or shades, the right window treatments can add color, texture, and a touch of luxury to any room. Window treatments say a lot and bring lots of depth and dimension to a space.
Fireplace Surrounds
A fireplace is often the focal point of a living room or family room, and a custom-designed fireplace surround can transform the look and feel of the entire space. Whether you prefer stone, tile, or wood, a fireplace surround can be customized to fit your personal style and the architecture of your home.
Sofas and Sectionals
Choosing the right sofa or sectional is essential for creating a comfortable and inviting living room. While working with a designer you have the opportunity to custom-design a piece that fits your space and your family's needs perfectly.
Kitchen Cabinets
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and custom-designed cabinets can make all the difference when it comes to functionality and style. Whether you prefer traditional wood cabinets or sleek modern finishes, custom cabinets can give your space that perfect “fits like a glove” feeling.
Bath Vanities
A beautiful and functional bathroom is essential for any home, and custom-designed bath vanities can add both style and storage to your space. From classic wood finishes to modern glass and metal designs, a custom bath vanity can be the perfect finishing touch.
Pillows
One of our top favorites - don't overlook the impact of custom-designed pillows on your home's decor. Whether you prefer bright patterns or soft textures, custom pillows can be designed to complement your existing color scheme and add a gorgeous touch of personality and culture to any room.
Carpets
The right carpet can add warmth and texture to your space while also reflecting your personal style and bring cultural elements into play. We enjoy creating custom carpets for our clients and have even gone so far as to choose the exact colors that will be used and then having the carpet woven by experts abroad (such as Turkey or India).
Artwork and Paintings
Finally, don't forget the impact that art and paintings can have on your home's overall aesthetic. Art speaks to the soul and can also be a great way to bring a global element to a space and celebrate your relationship to a particular culture or style. Artwork can be the perfect finishing touch for any room. Our Project Manager, Denise, owned her own high end art gallery for many years. Denise is able to consult with any and all clients who want to make an investment when it comes to custom art. Custom art is a wonderful way to personalize your space.
