There are a number of different ways to upgrade a kitchen in order to both change the look and functionality of a space. However, the money required to complete such a task often doesn’t fit into a family’s budget without proper planning and care. Finding yourself in this situation isn’t uncommon but know there are also plenty of other affordable options available that can have your kitchen feeling more modern in little to no time at all. Not every remodeling or upgrade effort has to be a full demolition with new appliances, countertops, cabinetry, flooring, and backsplash. Even simply changing the latter can leave your kitchen feeling brand new and looking great for years to come!

The purpose of backsplash in both kitchens and bathrooms is essentially to protect the wall from water splashes or splatter while cooking. Not only does this material serve a very functional purpose but the ability to incorporate its design and style within your existing space can also make for a real enhancement. In particular, glass backsplash options have multiple benefits which can help to improve your home. 

Care
Like any other surface area of the home - countertops, flooring, etc. - backsplash needs to be cleaned and well maintained to keep looking great. Fortunately, glass backsplash serves a two-fold purpose - not only is it resilient to any splatter but it also cleans easily and rarely requires anything more than a damp paper towel if messes are attended to quickly. 

Brightness
No matter the color selection, refracted light will make any room feel brighter, especially when using clear or warmer tones. This not only can change the feel of your current kitchen but it also helps to warm up one of the most important rooms within any home.

Resistant
Glass is also very resistant to stains and any build up mildew. Keeping your space clean, especially in a kitchen which encounters a damp environment, is important and utilizing a glass backsplash can aid in this process.

Design
Finally, the sheer range of design options available for glass backsplash is amazing. From different colors, styles, designs, patterns, hues, etc. there are plenty of ideas to have a splashy kitchen backsplash installed that fits your needs.

When thinking about outdoor construction materials for patios, walkways, or other entertainment areas, there are a number of different options which come to mind. While porcelain may most commonly be associated with bathrooms - tubs, toilets, sinks, and showers - its unique properties allow for other uses. One which is growing in popularity involves use even outside the home as a flooring surface for an entertainment or gathering space. Able to be used as a walkway construction material, patio, pool deck, or outdoor kitchen flooring surface, porcelain has many qualities which make it a well rounded option for any homeowner.

Expanding the home can not only increase property value but also help bring the family together. Creating new living spaces outdoors helps when entertaining or simply looking to enjoy the great outdoors. There are multiple ways in which to incorporate these spaces around the home and with the benefits of an outdoor kitchen, among other general spaces - creating a useful and aesthetically pleasing area for yourself and others to enjoy can be life changing. If building something new or upgrading an existing piece of property, consider porcelain tiles as a unique but beneficial option.

Weather Resistant
Porcelain tiles are extremely weather resistant so whether they are underneath a covering or exposed to the elements makes little difference. From withstanding the wind, rain, sleet, and snow associated with Mother Nature, porcelain also isn’t fazed by a range of temperatures from extremely hot to bitterly cold.

Durable
Such ability to uphold its look and shape against outside elements doesn’t just stop with the weather. Porcelain is also extremely durable against cleaning agents, stains, and any other items or liquids with which it may come into contact. 

Maintenance
Upkeep is also quick and easy for this flooring surface material. Not needing multiple items or specialized materials to clean porcelain tile has distinct advantages. Especially outdoors, porcelain tiles can be easily maintained with routine maintenance and periodic spot checks.

Versatility
The versatility of porcelain tiles is also extremely beneficial to homeowners. Available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, porcelain can meet the needs of any homeowner. In addition, these tiles can be used to construct patios, flooring options, porches, walkways, and any other outdoor surface a property owner may desire.

One of the most common home improvements many people elect to incorporate into a remodeling plan revolves around the bathroom. Be it a master suite or simple guest bath, upgrading the utilities, storage space, and other intricacies of these readily used rooms often comes with a long list of benefits. Not only can these upgrades allow for more efficiency but they also add value while bringing your home decor and design styles more in line with the current market - especially if the home you live in was built many years ago.

While there are many options available for different surfaces, one of the most prominent and flexible is travertine tile. This natural stone has multiple benefits and the travertine flooring pros are increasingly worth the price. However, homeowners shouldn’t limit their imagination when deciding to incorporate tile into their bathroom. One of the latest trends associated with modern style is the return of tile throughout the space.

Flooring
The natural use for travertine tile is as a floor covering. Water resistant and able to offer a variety of design styles and patterns, this option is often a monumental upgrade over your current material. Not only will tile give you versatility, but it also opens up a variety of different patterns which can be incorporated with the installation.

Shower
Tile can also be used as a wall and flooring construction material for stand alone showers. Custom built to match any space or individual’s desire, utilizing natural stone to create a unique shower can immediately create a spa feeling for you or your guests to enjoy each and every day.   

Walls
One of the latest bathroom tile trends revolves around a nod to the past with tile walls. Comprised with many of the same benefits that tile offers to homeowners no matter where it’s installed, the use of walls can create a sense of connectivity and flow throughout a bathroom. When incorporated in conjunction with a matching shower and flooring, the end result offers a unique experience and can even make the room appear much larger.

Granite countertops are exploding across the housing market. From new construction builds to remodeling projects, getting a natural stone surface installed within the kitchen, bathroom, or both keeps growing in popularity. Just as hardwood flooring has withstood the test of time, it appears the demand for this material will continue at least into the foreseeable future and likely well beyond. With a wide range of color options available, in addition to the varying veining intricacies of each granite slab, no two countertops are exactly alike. However, due to their natural state, there are often leftover pieces following an installation. Fortunately, there are multiple other uses for granite throughout the home.

As with anything, granite has pros and cons but knowing that the material you select is extremely durable opens up a variety of different possibilities for its use. Not only can granite add value to your property by being installed in the typical locations, but this material can also aid in other areas. If you have some leftover pieces or wish to create a unique look with something new, then consider the following alternate uses for granite both inside and outside the home. 

Fireplace
Encasing your fireplace with granite creates an immediate focal point wherever it’s located. In addition, using the same material as your countertops can help extend the color and design scheme of a home from the kitchen into living areas and also serves as an extremely durable and practical application of the natural stone material.

Shelving
Extra pieces of any size can be cut to be used as shelving in any area of the home. Gain some extra storage in the kitchen or bathroom with granite shelves or extend the pre-existing patterns of a kitchen or bathroom into other living areas with unique shelf placements.

Flooring/Patio
Granite use doesn’t end inside the home. Outdoors, the material can be used as a flooring surface for an entertainment space or walkway. Curbing to either outline a walkway, garden, or landscaped area is also another area where the natural stone may be applied.

If you’re ready to take advantage of these alternate uses for granite around the house or create a new look entirely, then we’re here and ready to help move your remodeling or new construction project forward.

Finding ways to incorporate nature into the interior of homes has been a design trend growing in popularity for many years. From the use of natural stone countertops, house plants, and even other stone fixtures - utilizing these elements of design and materials greatly enhances the look or feel of a room. While countertop surfaces are obviously limited to the kitchen and bathrooms, other uses are necessary in order to generate this natural look within different areas of the home. Adding a unique element to the property, homeowners have been expanding the use of these specific elements for quite some time.

Able to be used both on the wall and as floor tile, natural stone continues to grow in popularity. This has expanded the typical uses to include other factors, including ledgers. Originally designed to encase fireplaces and provide an outdoor “setting” within the interior of a home, this component is also increasing its use in and around a property. Stone ledgers are rising in demand and their use in each of the following areas continues to highlight the natural components of appearance within a design outline.

Column Accents

If you have columns either near an entrance way or within a basement serving as support, consider encasing these with natural stone. Doing so immediately enhances their existence while helping to bring a more natural feel into the space. Multiple color combinations can be used in lieu of a solid paint scheme and the ledgers serve to help break up the space with a more natural feel than simply having visible columns breaking up an open area.

Floor to Ceiling Accent Walls

Used initially in and around those homes which are equipped with a fireplace or wood stove, stone ledgers are becoming more a design component in recent construction projects. Many homeowners have elected to extend their fireplace surroundings up to the ceiling and others are choosing to simply create an accent wall with their use. Again, instead of utilizing a bold or contrasting color to make a room stand out, the use of these stone ledgers accomplishes this feat, in addition to bringing a sense of nature inside the walls of a property.

Versatile Placement

The versatility of stone ledgers also makes them a popular option for design components. Able to be used inside beyond the typical kitchen and bathroom placements, natural stones can also help create entertainment spaces on a property’s exterior as well. By either surrounding outdoor columns, as a patio, walkway, or in creation of an outdoor kitchen - the expanded uses for these items make them a solid option for any space.
