Double islands 2022 Color Trends

 

In the remodeling industry, one of the most exciting times of year is the end of one and the beginning of another. That’s because new remodeling trends emerge and we take a look at what the next year will bring us in terms of interior and exterior home design.

 

We’ve already shared some of the trends you can expect to see in the year ahead, such as 2022 tile trends and 2022 bathroom designs. Now, let’s look at what’s in store for 2022 color trends around the home.

 

2022 Color Trends, Very Peri Color Of The Year

 

First, let’s talk about Pantone’s 2022 Color of the Year. This year, Pantone created a new color for the first time in the history of their color of the year selection. PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri encompasses the qualities of blues, yet at the same time possesses a violet-red undertone. It displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.

 

2022 Color Trends for Kitchen Remodels

Simple changes to the color of kitchen cabinets, countertops, flooring, or walls can have an immense effect on the overall room design. Here’s what you can look for in 2022:

 

  1. Pops of color – Thanks to the pandemic, many homeowners have spent more time in their kitchens in the last two years than ever before. That has spurred a desire to personalize the space, adding splashes of color for character and charm. Very Peri, the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year would be a great choice for adding that pop of color to your kitchen. 
  2. Gorgeous greens – From Benjamin Moore’s October Mist to the greenish-grey hue of Sherwin Williams’ Evergreen Fog, many major paint suppliers have named some form of green as the 2022 Color of the Year. You can expect to see energizing and rejuvenating shades of green as the palette of choice for kitchen renovations as well as other areas of the home.
  3. Neutral and natural shades – On the softer side of the spectrum, 2022 color trends turn to natural, earthy hues like sandy colors or rose pink. It’s not difficult to create a calm, cozy, and refreshing atmosphere with these neutral tones.
  4. Two-tone trend – Complimentary shades of one color take 2022 kitchen design to the next level. Picture a light grey island contrasted by dark grey upper cabinets and you get the idea of how two-tone design can add visual interest and character.

 

2022 Color Trends for Bathroom Remodels

Whether you’re planning a master bathroom makeover or a powder room remodel, these 2022 color trends will make your space relaxing and enjoyable.

 

  1. Cool shades – We’ve got the blues … all shades of them! On the one hand, darker blues are perfect for creating an elegant, rich feel. In contrast, lighter hues or turquoise are cool color choices for a beach-themed bathroom that’s often popular with our Orange County remodeling clients.
  2. Wonderful white – Yes, this is a classic that’s here to stay. In 2022, however, you can expect to see white in more than just bathroom walls or cabinets. For example, veined white marble countertops, tiles, or tubs exude elegance and add texture to the room.
  3. Bold black – On the opposite end of the spectrum, black makes a bold but beautiful comeback in 2022 color trends. Pair black walls and flooring with a white tub and gold fixtures and you have a stunning combination that’s sure to please!

5 Trendy Tablescaping Ideas for New Year’s

5 Trendy Tablescaping Ideas for New Year’s

by | Trending Remodeling Topics | 0 comments

New Year's Tablescaping

Who says decorating for the holidays has to be only about Christmas lights, gnomes on the mantel, and the biggest tree ever? Other ideas, such as tablescaping for New Year’s, provide the perfect chance to show off your kitchen remodel or dining room renovation.

 

Let’s take a look at how creating a beautiful tablescape can help light up the room and ring the new year in with style.

 

What is tablescaping?

 

Originally coined by TV chef Sandra Lee in 2003, tablescaping is the act of artfully arranging tabletops to reflect a particular mood or theme. In the real estate world, it’s often used in staging homes that are going on the market. However, tablescaping is becoming more trendy among homeowners simply for everyday living and dressing things up for special occasions.

 

As you think about tablescaping for New Year’s, here are some factors to consider:

 

  • Accessories – Will they simply be for show, or do they also serve some sort of function?
  • Style continuity – Although you may be creating a tablescape for a special occasion, the overall theme should blend well with the style of the room.
  • Use coordinating colors – The hues used in your tablescape vignette should coordinate with the room’s dominant color.
  • Group like objects but vary their height – For example, a group of candles provides more visual interest when you place them together but in varying heights.
  • Incorporate greenery – Just like you use greenery when stylizing your mantel, you can use garlands or other greenery to provide color, life, and texture for your tablescape.

 

Ring in the New Year with These Tablescaping Designs

 

Now that you have a good idea of what goes into an artful tablescape, here are some designs that can make tablescaping for New Year’s a breeze.

 

New Year's Tablescaping

 

  • Timely masterpiece – Does your family count down the minutes and seconds until the New Year? Do it in style with a time-themed tablescape!

 

  • Delightful disco – Watching the ball drop in Time Square can be the impetus for this tablescaping design. Decorate your dining table with glittering disco balls, festive candles, and shimmering crystal dishes. Why not welcome 2022 with elegance?

 

  • Beachy seascape – Here in Southern California, our design-build clients aren’t so fond of a winter wonderland. But, we can use the same colors to re-create a beautiful seaside atmosphere. White seashells, driftwood, olive branches, and other greenery come together easily to make the beach come alive inside.

 

  • Glittering gold – For a rich and elegant look, combine greenery with white or cream flowers, gold plated dishes or cutlery, and crystal glasses.

 

New Year's Tablescaping

  • Spirited sparkles – There’s nothing quite like sparkling white lights to brighten any room, especially during the holidays. Tablescaping for New Year’s becomes bright and cheery with twinkling candles, sparkling lights, and sparkling drinks.

 

Start Planning Your 2022 Home Remodel Now

 

When you finish tablescaping for New Year’s, it’s time to turn your attention to the year ahead and think about your remodeling goals. Do you have a master bathroom makeover in mind? How about a room addition or new outdoor living space?

 

At Sea Pointe Design & Remodel, the sky’s the limit. Our talented design-build team is ready to help with all of your Orange County remodeling projects.

How to Stylize Your Mantel For The Holiday

How to Stylize Your Mantel For The Holiday

by | Trending Remodeling Topics | 0 comments

Stylizing Your Mantel

 

As a design-build remodeling company, we’re known for helping people have a fun and positive remodeling experience in terms of kitchen, bath, or whole home renovations. But, did you know that sometimes making a small change in your home’s decor can provide a whole new look with very little effort? Since the holidays are right around the corner, let’s look at how stylizing your mantel can help you accomplish exactly that.

 

Why Stylize Your Mantel for the Holidays?

 

Right now, we’re talking about stylizing your mantel for the holiday season. The truth is, though, you can stylize it any time of the year. Here are 3 great reasons why:

 

  1. It’s an affordable way to get a new look. Do you ever wish you could change the feel or look of a room without having to do a full remodeling project? When you stylize your mantel, you can! You can totally transform the space to a new design or different vibe simply by changing out accessories.

 

  1. It doesn’t take much time. Time is a valuable commodity, especially for homeowners. But, stylizing your mantel can be done in less than an hour if you already have the supplies. It’ll take longer if you have to shop for accessories, of course, but it still takes a relatively short amount of time overall.

 

  1. You can follow current trends. Remodeling trends change every year. If you’re not ready for a whole house remodel, keep up with the current styles simply by utilizing them in your home decor. For example, you can stylize your mantel with this year’s trendy color of forest green rather than changing the color palette of an entire room.

 

3 Essential Elements to Include When Stylizing Your Mantel

 

Now that you know why it can be fun or useful to stylize your mantel, let’s look at the basics for how it’s done. Your design can be anything you like, but here are the elements that you’ll want to consider:

 

  • Your anchor – This is one piece that will stay the same all year long. For example, many people have a large mirror or piece of artwork that hangs above their fireplace. When you stylize your mantel, the anchor stays in place and everything you put around it should complement that base.

 

  • Supporting elements – These are the items that are changed out seasonally. While the anchor stays the same, the accessories placed around or in front of it can significantly change the look and feel of the space.

 

  • Lighting – Candles or other lights can brighten up the mantel, adding character, dimension, and interest.

 

How to Create 3 Different Looks When You Stylize Your Mantel

 

Holiday Mantel

 

Your stylized mantel may look very different based on where you live geographically, your own personal preferences, and the overall style of your home. Here are some different mantel designs to give you some inspiration as you think about what style works best for you …

 

  • Traditional Holiday Design – If you like the traditional red and green look of Christmas, this one’s for you! As a base, start with some greenery – either fresh or artificial garland from your favorite local store for holiday decor. Then, choose your decorations that will sit on either side of the mantel. These will ground the space, create a balanced look, and can include items like red and green holiday wreaths. Lastly, accessorize in front with baskets of holly, reindeer, gnomes, stockings, or other family favorites.

 

Stylize Your mantel

 

  • Modern Farmhouse Design – This design is perfect for homeowners going for a rustic look. Build around your anchor with rustic elements, replacing the traditional red and green colors with more earthy tones like forest green, white, brown, and cream. You can still keep your garland greenery at the base. Then, accessorize with pinecones, rustic holiday signs, olive branches, or wooden beads to keep the natural look. Top it off with the soft glow of candles on either side.

 

Stylizing Mantel

 

  • Beachy Winter Wonderland Design – Here in southern California, many of our design-build clients prefer a beach-themed Christmas versus the snowy white designs that are traditional in colder climates. You can stylize your mantel with the same green garland base but contrast it with silver, gold, and white to create more of a seaside atmosphere. Accessorizing with white driftwood wreaths, glass or light colored miniature trees, and driftwood branches are all perfect ways to achieve a soft, beachy, ethereal vibe.

 

Stylize Your Mantel

2022 Remodeling Budget: Where Does Your Money Go?

2022 Remodeling Budget: Where Does Your Money Go?

by | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Remodeling Budget

 

A new year is just around the corner, so the time to start creating your 2022 remodeling budgets is NOW! Whether you have a whole house remodel, kitchen renovation, or master bathroom makeover in mind, it’s important to create a budget from which you can operate during the entire process.

 

Why do you need a remodeling budget?

 

The ‘B’ word often makes people cringe, but having a remodeling budget is really just telling yourself, and anyone else working on your project, where you want your money to go. Without it, your home renovation could take a significant turn in the wrong direction.

 

Here’s why creating a remodeling budget before the start of your project is so critical:

 

  • Plan a project that you can actually afford – When you know how much it will cost upfront, you’ll know if the project you’re planning will fit into your overall finances.
  • It will help you choose appropriate materials – You’ve probably heard the expression “champagne taste on a beer budget.” This certainly applies to remodeling. Having a realistic budget will help you know whether your tastes and finances are in sync.
  • A budget helps you set realistic limits – You may be tempted to go all out on your kitchen renovation. But, it’s important to understand how much your remodel will actually increase your property value and spend accordingly.
  • You can plan ahead for unexpected costs – By planning everything out on paper first, you’ll be able to put aside some money for hidden costs. These are the expenses that come up that no one can predict ahead of time. Take the stress out of unforeseen costs by accounting for them in your remodeling budget.

 

What’s included in a typical remodeling budget?

 

Now that you know a remodeling budget is a must, let’s take a look at what’s actually in one. Here’s an example of what you can expect to see in a typical kitchen renovation budget, along with the approximate percentage of each item compared to the total budget (individual budgets will vary):

 

  • Design (5%) – Planning the perfect kitchen is more than just gathering a few ideas from Pinterest. A professional kitchen designer can help you incorporate those ideas with modern kitchen design trends and your own personality to create a beautiful, personalized space.
  • Countertops, Cabinets, and Hardware (38%) – Sometimes, materials straight from the manufacturer will do. Other times, however, custom cabinets or countertops will be needed to either meet your needs or create the look and feel you want.
  • Appliances (10%) – Your designer can help you decide whether you need all new appliances or whether the ones you already have will fit with the new design.
  • Flooring and Lighting (10%) – These two items are key features in any kitchen design. Look for flooring options that will hold up to the amount of traffic your kitchen gets and choose lighting that will enhance the space.
  • Plumbing, Faucets, and Fixtures (5%) – There are plenty of options to choose from but your designer can help you decide which ones will fit your budget and overall style.
  • Windows and Doors (5%) – Depending on the extent of your renovation, you may be able to utilize existing windows and doors. However, new ones may be needed to improve function or to fit with the new design.
  • Labor and Installation (17%) – Renovating a kitchen is hard work and not likely a task you want to tackle yourself. When you hire a professional remodeling company to do the job, you spend more money upfront but save money in the long run.
  • Other (10%) – Remember to plan for contingencies so a surprise expense doesn’t become a stressful one.

10 Trendy Tile Designs for 2022

10 Trendy Tile Designs for 2022

Trendy Tile Designs

 

Whether simple or intricate, beautiful tile designs have often been a popular way to spruce up a space or provide unique accents. Used frequently in kitchens and bathrooms, tile is loved by homeowners for its varied material, shape, color, and texture. It’s also easy to clean and holds up well to the test of time – the perfect material for any kitchen or bathroom remodel!

 

As with other aspects of the remodeling world, however, tile designs come and go. Some of the classics stick around, but each year sees new trends emerge to excite and inspire. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular tile designs trends for the year ahead.

 

2022 Tile Designs for Kitchen and Bath

 

1: Backsplashes With Glazed Tile

Glazed tile backsplash

Rather than sticking to the traditional matte finish, homeowners can expect to see more glazed tile backsplashes. Shiny tiles are super easy to clean, reflect light nicely, and make a beautiful backdrop.

 

2: Subway Tile Used in Creative Ways

 

An old but popular classic, subway tile gets a new look in 2022. When tiles are arranged in different directions (vs. the traditional horizontal brick-like look) or different sizes are used, a new design palette is born.

 

3: Full Height Tile Backsplash

 

Most homeowners are familiar with the use of a tile backsplash between kitchen cabinets and the countertop. Or, in the bathroom, between mirror and vanity. In 2022, however, the tile backsplash grows to new heights – all the way to the ceiling! As such, it’s the perfect backdrop for another emerging trend … floating shelves.

4: Slab Backsplashes

Taj-Mahal Countertops and backsplash

 

Picture this: A stunning backsplash made from a solid slab of marble, showing off its deep veins and beautiful coloring. When a single slab is used instead of multiple individual tiles, the eye is drawn to the beauty of the material and the design isn’t cluttered by tile grout and borders.

 

5: Wet Rooms

Walk-in-shower

Here’s an emerging trend in which an entire room section is lined with tile. And why not? It’s the perfect material for high moisture areas like the shower. A tile-lined wet room is easy to clean and is a great way to maximize floor space.

 

6: Wood-Look Tiles

Emser Marble Mosaic Tile Backsplash in Kitchen Remodel

 

As bathroom and kitchen design trends for 2022 move toward a more organic feel and natural look, it’s important to choose materials that fit with that image. Perhaps that’s why wood-look tiles are emerging as one of the most popular tile designs for 2022. They’re simple to use on the wall or on the floor. Plus, they’re easier to clean and less susceptible to moisture than actual wood.

 

7: Intricate Designs

 

Gone are the days of tile designs simply made from arranging tiles neatly in a row. While those designs can still be used and certainly have their place, expect to see more intricate motifs in 2022. These unique designs will make beautiful accents or add visual intrigue to a clean, minimalist-styled room.

 

Bathroom Renovation With Herringbone Pattern Shower Tile and Patterned Floor Insets

 

8: Slate Tiles

 

Known for their dark color, organic grain, and earthy feel, slate tiles will be another perfect material to achieve the natural look that many homeowners are after.

 

9: Chevron Tiles

Chevron tile work

 

Chevron tile designs have been popular before, but 2022 will see them emerge in different ways. Expect to see them used in accent walls, perhaps inside a walk-in shower with built-in shampoo niche. The zigzag or v-shaped patterns can be made out of a variety of materials – colored ceramics, stone, glass, and more. No matter where they’re utilized, you can be assured of an eye-catching design!

 

10: Hexagon Tile Patterns

HexGON SHAPED BATH TILE

 

Hexagon tiles have traditionally been a favorite choice for designers. In 2022, expect to see them used in creative patterns, mixing large and small tiles and blending them with other tile styles like herringbone or subway.
