Plush Carpeting

First up is plush carpeting. This is particularly effective for bedrooms and living areas of the home, but if you’re not carpeting a space from wall to wall, this can refer to plush area rugs too.

Investing in an excellent quality carpet or rug instantly adds a refined look to an interior. They are long-lasting and easy to clean. Wool and wool-blend carpeting are the best types for durability and overall performance. Yes – even for busy family homes!

It’s also worth noting that some plush carpets are allergy-friendly.

Soft Leather

We like to introduce leather accents into our projects because they add texture and warmth to an interior. This could be as simple as a leather ottoman or footstool, or something larger like an accent armchair!

Leather wears over time to become softer while also developing character. The soft texture provides a comfortable seat, while the material itself is extremely durable and long-lasting.

Hidden Storage

Integrating hidden storage into a space is a total game-changer! Not only is this essential for smaller homes, but adding hidden storage within larger spaces can help to create a clean and tidy look.

Kitchens are a great place to start adding hidden storage. In this kitchen renovation project, we designed the under-sink cabinet to contain roll-outs for cleaning products. This roll out system makes it easier to access bottles right at the back of the cabinet. Another creative solution is spice rack storage! This could be as simple as racks installed on the back of kitchen cabinet doors.

Built-ins are another favorite of ours! In the past, we have designed many fireplace walls with built-in storage solutions. While some clients like to display books and decorative objects, others prefer to maximize cabinet storage at low level.

Have you considered hidden storage within pieces of furniture before? Now might be the time! Instead of choosing a plain ottoman footstool, choose one with integrated storage. This is great for storing old magazines or even kids’ toys!

Low Maintenance Stone Look

A lot of homeowners want to achieve the luxurious marble look in their bathrooms. It’s elegant, stylish, and timeless. But the high maintenance of real marble can be a huge problem. Instead, choose low-maintenance stone-looking tile. Porcelain and ceramic are fantastic options right now, and have come a long way since the early 2000’s.

The major advantage of using porcelain or ceramic tiles in your home is that you don’t have to worry about cleaners and chemicals wearing away the finish. A classic and elegant look can be achieved for a fraction of the cost.

Layered Texture

Layering different textures in your home can instantly elevate and look luxurious. Plus – it’s inviting, and not just for the colder months. The textured feel of different finishes and textiles in a home plays into the senses and can easily make a space feel more relaxing and luxurious.
