In my business I see homeowners stuck in neutral for far too long because they go around in circles trying to decide on the wood finishes for their home. The fear of making the wrong decision can be paralyzing but it doesn’t have to be like that. Instead, understanding the difference between trends and timeless materials will help you get unstuck and feel positive about forging ahead. 

If a renovation is out of the question you might be wondering how much you can change your space through paint. The answer is a lot. There’s nothing quite as transformative as a new paint colour.  A colour consultation will give you the confidence to move ahead.

We all know that trends are cyclical but it’s hard to be left behind when our homes are still embracing yesterday’s hot design trend. For anyone who’s currently living in a home filled with gray you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. 

I’ve been seeing a lot of really interesting things happening in the world of fireplaces but always remember that a fireplace should be a timeless statement in your home. Try to avoid anything overly trendy that will date your home quickly.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with your home you may immediately turn your mind to thoughts of undergoing a renovation. That can be a great option but it does require a large budget and a window of time where your house will be given over to trades. 

It’s most common that I would help source new furniture but that’s not the only option. If you have pieces that are high quality and well constructed it’s possible to repurpose or refinish them. These options are not inexpensive so this isn’t necessarily going to save money but it will allow you keep the pieces that you love right where they are and just give them a facelift. 

How do you take an ordinary home and transform it into something spectacular? And how do you do that without the time and expense of a renovation? Yes, it’s all possible and it’s done by adding millwork.
