43 She Shed & Woman Cave Ideas: The Ladies Answer to the Man Cave

43 She Shed & Woman Cave Ideas: The Ladies Answer to the Man Cave

September 15, 2021

Featured Image Source: Nicholas Haslam

Despite what may immediately come to mind, a woman cave is not filled with girly pink things. Furthermore, it is not the exact opposite of a man cave, in that it is obviously girly’ in design and style. Rather, it is a space where a woman can relax and have some me-time. A place where she can let her hair down, allowing her personality and creativity to run free.

Like a man cave, a woman cave can be located in various areas of the house, especially off-traffic spaces. A basement remodel is usually a time to add a spot for a woman cave, though it can also be located in an unused bedroom or any other secluded part of the house. But it is not always the case that women find their sanctuaries inside the house, sometimes it can be located outside the house. In such cases, it is more commonly referred to as a she-shed.

DRESSING

The Design Co.

WOW! Gorgeous dressing room/closet-stunning floors.

While the term she-shed’ conjures up an image of a lady surrounded by a large worktable with plenty of tools and a pile of timbre, a she-shed can be put to any use. The most important part is that it serves as a quite retreat from a busy life. For mothers who are looking for a place to escape the often-chaotic life that kids bring, it could also be called a mom cave or a mom shed.

We have a picture roundup of amazing woman cave and she shed ideas for you to use. The images will give you ideas on how to design and decorate your own sanctuary at home.

Love the word wall and he window seat.

Finding the Right Space

The first step to the perfect sanctuary is determining where you will locate it. If you want somewhere inside the house, there are several possible locations that could work.

Basement: The basement is one of the most common places to locate a woman cave. Even man caves tend to be located in the basement. This is one of the most ideal locations thanks to the secluded nature and space availability. You can design it the way you wish without getting in the way of your home décor. It is also naturally soundproof, creating a noise-free place to relax and do your stuff. The challenge with a basement finishing project is that it requires quite a bit of work before it ready to use.Spare Room: If you do not want the laborious and often expensive work of remodeling a room, a spare room makes for a quick woman cave. The only work remaining is decoration. If you are lucky, you might even get a spare bedroom with an attached bathroom. The only downside is the possible lack of seclusion.

VANITY & CHAISE

Orange Coast Interior Design

Restful, elegant and classic.

THE WINE SPOT

Smith Firestone Associates

Fun & loungy — great spot to dish with your girlfriends.

SUNNY DAYS

Digs Design Company

Love the bright accent colors!

BLUE BLISS

Jennifer Pacca Interiors

Beautiful tranquil blues help calm you and keep you focused.

Garage: This seems more like the location of a man cave than a woman cave. But with some remodeling and decorating, it could become quite the beautiful space. It could work even better for a she-shed, where you expect to do some rougher work. With the garage however, you might have to share space with the car.Walk-In Closet: This is quite a brilliant idea. A walk in closet could make for a quiet, secluded and cozy woman cave, especially if it is unused. One downside is the space. On the bright side though, having a small space to work with could spur your creativity.Attic: This is often not a great location for a woman cave, or any other room for that matter. This is due to numerous construction challenges the attic presents. If you have to use the attic, make sure you get a good contractor to remodel it properly.Outdoor Shed: An outdoor building such as workshop or a tool shed can also work as a woman cave or she-shed. If there is no existing building, you can get one built, though this comes with extra costs of heating, lighting and electrical wiring.

COTTAGE CALM

12th Ave Homes, LLC

Nice use of space in a backyard cottage.

Choosing a Theme

With the right space chosen, what theme have you decided on? A woman cave gives you the freedom to be as creative and unique as possible. This is your space and it should express who you are and what you love. Unlike other rooms in the house where practical considerations have to be made during decorations, you are allowed to throw most practicality out of the window when deciding on a she-shed theme.

Most women base their themes on their hobbies. If you love photography, you could use printed images and photography paraphernalia to establish a theme. If your passion is flowers, you could fill your shed with all kinds of potted ones and surround the shed in a garden of them. Essentially, let your passions and personality direct the decorations.

LIGHT & AIRY

Lucy Interior Design

This sunroom is so light and airy–great place to forget the troubles of the day.

CHEERFUL COMFORT

As you set up your woman cave, do not forget a few other essentials. For instance, you need to ensure that you have enough storage space in your sanctuary. This is especially important if you are going to be doing some work there or are engaging in hobbies such as crafts and painting. Before you start anything, do some extensive planning. Plan a layout based on the space available and figure out where everything will go.

COUNTRY CALM

Theresa Fine

Nice potting shed. Great place to hide.

Do you plan to have any entertainment? Will you include a private mini-gym? Maybe a kitchenette or bar? Think through all these questions during the planning phase. For an outdoor shed, consider things like electrical wiring and insulation. You do not want a dark cold shed as your personal sanctuary. But the most important thing is to create a space that is a perfect fit for you. This is one of the few times you are allowed to be positively narcissistic; think of no one else but you. Create a space that fits your objectives and makes you happy. Remember that this is where you will be coming to decompress, re-energize and cultivate your hobbies.

Woman Cave She Shed Tips

It’s official: the she shed trend isn’t going away. Giving man caves a run for their money, these backyard hideaways are a nice little space for ladies to call their own, whether for gardening or just curling up with a good book. So, how does one go about claiming her own she shed, you may wonder? Whether you have a neglected potting shed in your backyard or want to build your own from the ground up (more power to you), we’ve gathered all the DIY design inspiration and advice you’ll need to bring your backyard retreat to life.

Make The Most of Your Available Space

First and foremost: It’s essential to understand the amount of space available in your she shed so that you can design correctly. Knowing how much area you have to deal with will also assist you in deciding on the theme of your shed and how much furnishings you can fit within!

Choose A Theme

When designing a she shed, choose a motif and stick to it throughout. It might be a place for gardening, meditation, entertaining, or working on crafts—the possibilities are endless! A unified design in your storage shed will make it feel more tidy and pleasant for daily use.

Paint The Exterior

Don’t become so preoccupied with the inside of your she shed that you overlook the outside. Give your woman cave a new coat of paint to make it appear fantastic! To make your shed stand out in your backyard, use bright colors like red, blue, or green. Alternatively, for a truly clean, ageless aesthetic, try a bright white! Keep in mind that you’ll need weather-resistant paint, such as an exterior wood stain or varnish.

As always, we are here to help in any way possible. If you are looking for skilled professionals to turn an unused space into a comfortable personal sanctuary, we are here to help. Feel free to send us a message any time with a question or comment.

83 Exciting Kitchen Backsplash Trends

September 14, 2021

Featured Image Source: Peninsula Modern

The primary purpose of a kitchen backsplash is to protect the wall from liquids, usually water. But it also serves as the decor focal point after your kitchen renovation. It defines the style of your work area, radiating your personality and reflecting the mood and feel of your cooking space.

From clean minimalist to chic vintage, there are countless design and style options to choose from. What is most important is to choose a style that makes you happy. This is what matters most after all. Do not be afraid to test out unique and even outrageous options. Remember that this is something that will be a central defining aspect to your overall theme.

Also important to remember is that your choice of backsplash has to blend in with the existing décor. You need to create a harmony from the work area, to the countertops, to the walls and even the floor. This collaboration of color and texture is essential to the function and aesthetics of your cooking space.

If choosing the right backsplash seems too difficult a task, worry not, we have some amazing inspirations for you. In this article, we have brought together amazing kitchen tile backsplash ideas to get you started.

How to Choose a Kitchen Backsplash

Choosing the right backsplash involves many decisions. First, you need to decide what types of tiles you want. Then, you still have to find a nice design that fits your needs while also creating the perfect décor for you. Here are some tips that you will find most helpful.

1. Picking the Right Tile

There are several tile materials to choose from; glass, ceramic, porcelain, marble, granite and even metal. One big factor in deciding which tile material to go for is cost. If you are on a budget, the best options include porcelain and ceramic. If you are able and willing to spend a bit more, you might want to consider more expensive options such as marble, granite, and glass.

The issue of style is not as important nowadays when choosing between various tile materials. Thanks to technology, even ceramic tiles can be designed to resemble marble or even a metal surface. This is beneficial when you want a specific look but at a cheaper price.

SUBWAY

2. Tile Design

Tiles come in so many cuts, colors, and styles. Here are just a few examples;

Diagonal tile – tiles come in a diagonal cut, giving your backsplash a unique look. Note that you will require more tiles than usual when tiling kitchen backsplash. Additionally, diagonal tiles tend to cost more.Laser cut tiles – because of their intricate designs and patterns, these tiles are cut using laser technology. Different pieces are joined like a jigsaw puzzle, resulting in an elaborately designed backsplash. Laser cut tiles tend to be quite pricey.Subway tiles – these are some of the most popular backsplash tiles. They are named after the tiles used in most subway stations. They create a classic and clean cut look.

Other types of vintage tiles designs include hand-painted tiles, specialty-shaped tiles, herringbone tiles, and mosaic tiles. You can take a look at our project portfolio for more home remodeling inspiration.

With so many options to choose from, we recommend that you compare some before you make a decision. Start from our images of kitchen backsplashes. See what your local home store has to offer. In time, you will find a design that is perfect for your kitchen.

SHADES OF GREEN

3. Mixing and Matching

As we mentioned before, achieving harmony is an important part of choosing your kitchen backsplash. You need to think of how your chosen tile design will go with your countertops, floor, walls and even appliances. In our article for example, you will find that kitchen backsplashes with white cabinets are quite common. A great example is from this kitchen remodel portfolio, take a look.

There are two things you can do when mixing and matching. One, you can choose a design that matches the surrounding décor. For instance, blue tiles would blend perfectly with grey cabinets. A white tiled backsplash would match up very well with black countertops and so on. Two, you could opt for a design that sharply contrasts the existing décor and acts as a standout style, stealing away most of the attention to itself. Mosaic and hand painted tiles tend to have this effect. You could also choose something like bright red tiles against a white wall and white countertops.

GRAY SUBWAY

This is another important decision you need to make as it affects the overall style of your kitchen. While most homeowners opt for the standard countertop-to-cabinet height, you could decide to be more radical and go for a full height backsplash. This creates a more attention-gobbling focal point for the kitchen.

5. Installing Kitchen Backsplash

Plan your layout. This includes determining your preferred backsplash height and the total area to be covered. This will help you calculate the number of tile you will need.After making sure the wall is completely clean, apply thin set mortar or mastic adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions.Make sure to purchase a great tile saw, then measure and cut tiles. Be sure to place them carefully, making sure to hold them down to ensure they adhere. For larger or more complicated tile designs, we highly recommend you get a professional contractor.

Home Design No Comments

Sebring Design Build

Nothing feels as tranquil as a sunny day under a clear blue sky or gazing out at a shimmering blue ocean. The color blue triggers feelings of relaxation, peace, quiet, grandness and expansiveness. When used inside the house, blue creates the same feelings of tranquility, space and luxury. It is also a well-known stress reducer, helping to slow down your heartbeat and lower blood pressure.

Why not try this cool shade during your kitchen remodel with blue kitchen cabinets? It will make your kitchen appear bigger, seem cooler and feel more relaxing. One other interesting characteristic of blue scientists have uncovered is that it suppresses appetite.

Picking the Right Shade of Blue Cabinets

There are literally hundreds of shades of blue to choose from depending on your décor preferences and the overall style you are going for. On the darker end of the scale, navy blue kitchen cabinets bring to your kitchen a twist of dark luxury. On the lighter end of the scale, light blue kitchen cabinets have a more airy coolness to them. In the middle of the scale, your options include midnight blue, deep sky blue, Persian blue and denim blue.

So how do you go about choosing the right shade for your kitchen? It all depends on the feel and style you are going for. If you want a somber cool-dark feel to your kitchen, you could go for navy blue or royal blue (traditional). This would be a great option for someone living in a hot sunny climate. The dark blue helps balance out the heat and light.

If the look you want is light, playful, fun and airy, the middle and lighter shades of blue are better. They tend to promote the effect of light and space in a kitchen. Some good examples of these shades include Baby Blue, Royal Azure, Celestial Blue and Cadet Blue. These light blues are especially great for small kitchens, as they tend to intensify the perception of space. For large kitchens where you need to create a feeling of coziness, the middle and darker shades of blue are best.

If your heart loves the radical, try some unique shades such as Persian Indigo, Purple Navy and Nile Blue. These colors are so far from the middle true blue that they create a kitchen that immediately stands out. Push the boundary even further by paring them up with other outrageous colors.

The most important thing when picking a shade for your kitchen cabinets is to test a number of shades. Most paint companies provide paint swatches that you can test at your home. See how the color appears in different lighting conditions and next to other colors in your kitchen.

Once you have picked your shade of choice, the next step is mixing and matching it with other colors and accessories.

Mixing and Matching Kitchen Cabinets

For your blue kitchen cabinets to work out great, you must mix and match them properly with other colors in the room. How the blue complements the color of other surfaces and accessories determines the final overall look and feel of the kitchen.

One popular trend is to mix blue and grey. This combination is reminiscent of Mother Nature; think a blue sky with grey clouds setting in. The two colors contrast perfectly, reinforcing the freshness and relaxing nature of blue. Light grey often works best, because it contrasts the blue without overshadowing its position as the central focus of the kitchen.

For more stark contrasts, try navy blue cabinets with brighter colors such as white, cream or yellow. For instance, you can have a deep blue cabinet with marble white countertops. Another idea is blue cabinets with bright yellow knobs or blue cabinets against a white wall.

The combination options are endless; baby blue and white, navy blue and wood-brown and so on. Look through some of the creative mix and matches below to get ideas of your own. The picture roundup includes everything from blue grey kitchen cabinets to all-blue kitchen cabinets. Whichever combination you choose, the most important thing is to make sure the two colors complement each other well and result in the right style for your kitchen.

TRANSITIONAL WOW

Mowlem & Co

My first thought was WOW! Just so different and unique. You just don’t see an island like this every day.

DYNAMIC TURQUOISE

Mal Corboy Design

So different–the turquoise color, the lighting within the island shelving. Clean and dynamic.

WATERCOLOR KITCHEN

Cara McBroom, Licensed Interior Designer

Spectacular contemporary kitchen in Watercolor, Florida.

Moderation in Kitchen Colors

Like with most things in life, moderation is important in achieving the perfect interior decor style. While it has many advantages (cool, relaxing, spacey and so on), the downsides of blue could manifest if overdone. Too much of it and your kitchen takes on an almost depressing feeling. Can you imagine a kitchen with all cabinets, including floor and wall cabinets, in the same blue shade? It looks more melancholy than relaxing.

The secret is knowing just how much is right? Not too little that it does not make a difference and not too much that it gets overwhelming. If you must fill up your kitchen with blue, then at least give different cabinets varying shades of blue to create gentle contrasts.

Another good way preventing an overdone kitchen is using other colors. We have discussed this in the mix and match section. Look for colors such as yellow, brown and white that give the eye a break from the blue. Something as small as a flower vase can make a big difference.

Take a look through the various blue kitchen cabinets ideas below and use them to create your own unique style. If you are looking for more home remodeling ideas, check out our previous projects for design ideas.

TRANSITIONAL BLUE

Reed Design Group

This kitchen is so charming. What a different and refreshing choice to use a purple light fixture. Love the island!

Why Choose Blue Kitchen Cabinets

Blue works well in bathrooms, guest bedrooms, nurseries, and…kitchen cabinets? That would be a resounding yes. While you may be tempted to settle w/ classic oak Shaker cabinets or trendy but unremarkable open shelves, colors like cobalt, navy, and azure may be just what your kitchen needs.

Even the most astute color minimalists can see the appeal of blue, and it may work wonders for cookie-cutter kitchens or spaces that are feeling boring. Of course, as with any color, there are nearly as many ways to incorporate it into your environment as there are shades of it. Tastemakers and people who love all-things-bold will welcome layers of floor-to-ceiling color, but if you’re a little more hesitant to add a splash of cornflower blue, try putting it into just your island for a pop that won’t feel overpowering.

The Impact Of Blue Kitchen Cabinets

By using more blue, you are generating an immensely relaxing ambiance that is ideal for the kitchen.

Of course, different colors will evoke slightly different emotions. Light blue, for example, is supposed to inspire creativity (ideal for coming up with new recipes), but dark blue is connected with elegance and intelligence.

Aside from the psychological aspect, blue goes well with a variety of other culinary aspects. It can work with a variety of hues such as white, black, grey, and brown. A white countertop contrasts wonderfully with the dark blue cabinets. Cabinets in sky blue go well with whites and browns. Lighter hues of the color can be coupled with grey, while darker shades, such as deep brown and black, can be paired with lighter shades.

This versatility in mixing and matching means that homeowners contemplating a kitchen renovation will have fewer headaches.

Final Thoughts:

For many people, the kitchen is a sanctuary; the perfect place to rid your mind of all the day’s stresses. Like gazing at the deep expanse of the sky on a perfect summer day or taking in the sight of a deep blue ocean, a blue-centered kitchen provides a bust of freshness after a long day.

Blue kitchen cabinets are especially perfect for homeowners in hot climates, as they help balance the stuffy heat with their coolness. They work for all kinds of home styles from classical to baroque to contemporary and futuristic. A light blue looks perfect in a ranch-style home just as a dark blue does in an urban apartment kitchen.

39 Luxury Walk in Shower Tile Ideas That Will Inspire You

September 14, 2021

Home Design No Comments

Featured Image: Pinterest

A luxury walk-in shower creates a nice roomy feeling for your bathroom remodeling project. The lack of obstructions provides a seamless transition from the rest of the bathroom into the shower area. Not only is a walk in shower safer, especially for the elderly and children, it also works perfectly for those who desire a relaxing minimalist bathroom style.

SOPHISTICATED

This is proof that you don’t need to put a lot of details to make your walk in shower extraordinary.

Various Luxury Walk in Shower Design Options

There are various design options for your walk in shower. One of the most common variations comes in the form of a glass enclosure, with the glass helping create a bright and airy feeling. For an even lighter effect, consider adding a window to the shower, if it is possible. If not, try a skylight. If neither of these is possible, an all-glass enclosure would be better because it remains bright enough even with artificial lighting only.

You can also opt for walk in shower designs without doors. Take a look at our bathroom remodeling ideas, compiled from our previous projects. You could have the other walls solid, glass-only or a solid base with a glass top half. One thing to note about the doorless walk in shower is that it does not allow for much privacy, and this is generally true for all walk in showers. If privacy is not your priority (or is already provided by other means) then a walk in shower is perfect.

Each design comes with its own logistical and construction headaches on issues such as drainage. So make sure you consider these when choosing what style to go for.

WARM & MODERN

Jablonski Associates

Luxury Walk in Shower Floor and Wall Designs

Like any other bathroom, you also have to consider the floor and wall design. If you plan to have a solid wall as part of your walk in shower, use a neutral tile color that maintains the airiness of the bathroom. One area where you can create a unique style is the back wall, which you can use as the focus of your walk in shower and bathroom as a whole. For instance, a nice stone mosaic back wall draws your attention to it immediately you set foot into the shower.

As for the floor, ceramic, stone and glass tiles are popular because they are waterproof. You can either choose a neutral walk in shower tile design that keeps up with the overall minimalist style or go for a unique eye-catching design to complement an equally attention-commanding back wall.

Finally, consider the role accessories play in the overall style and feel of your walk in shower. Circular showerheads create a warm traditional feel while square rainfall showerheads give the bathroom a more futuristic feel. Other accessories to consider include a soap dish, grab bars, a corner seat and a spa-style bench for larger walk in showers.

Things To Consider When Installing A Walk In Shower

We could spend all day looking at walk-in shower designs since they are so lovely! We used to obsess over them, figuring they were just destined for huge baths and fancy homes, but these stunning rooms have proven us wrong. It turns out that a walk-in shower may also function in a tiny bathroom. In fact, they are an excellent alternative for a small area because you eliminate the cumbersome tray and enclosure. They can also be used with any style, and you can currently find some really affordable designs.

Having a walk-in shower has various advantages. You will be able to use a small or awkward space where a bath or regular shower would not fit due to the lack of an appropriate enclosure. You’re also future-proofing your home by tanking the room because having waterproof surfaces will come in handy during bath time with little children.

A walk-in shower works nicely in a variety of bathroom designs. It’s a terrific alternative for small rooms because a standard shower enclosure can split up the area & make it look smaller than it is. A walk-in shower creates the sense of a larger room by providing a larger feel—primarily if you use a simple, frameless glass panel.

Because of their unobtrusive style, walk-in showers go in well with various bathroom trends. They add to the overall aesthetic and improve the overall design of modern bathrooms. They can lend a subtle contemporary edge to more classic bathrooms. You can design your walk-in bathroom in various colors, ranging from whites to dark blacks, to match any color scheme.

Select The Best Location For A Walk-In Shower

When preparing to install a walk-in shower, one of the first things to consider is the location of the drain. To reduce the chance of water escaping the room, the drain should be placed as far away from the bathroom door as feasible. If you have a hardwood subfloor, the location of your drain is determined by the way your joists run. To avoid any tricky wedging effects, you’ll also need to consider how the gradient falls towards the garbage will run.

Include An Elegant Partition In A Walk-In Shower

A walk-in shower divider may not be necessary in larger bathrooms, but to make them work in a compact area, you will most likely need something to keep water from splashing all over the place. Black Crittall-style shower partitions are incredibly trendy right now, and they appear to be in every bathroom on Instagram. They manage to make a statement while being subtle.

dd A Walk-In Shower To A Standard Bathroom

Walk-in showers appear to be associated with more modern bathrooms, although they can also be used in more classic bathrooms. The wall paneling in this bathroom is in keeping with the time, and the basic glass screen doesn’t break up the space or add anything too modern.

Take note of the shelves that have been incorporated into this walk-in shower; they are a terrific way to provide storage for your toiletries as well as decoration.

Make A Walk-In Shower Work Even In The Smallest Bathroom

As we mentioned, walk-in showers could be the greatest solution in a small bathroom. A shower enclosure would take up unnecessary space in this cramped space, whereas a walk-in shower offers a seamless look. The partition is a curtain on a sliding rail that can be placed against the wall when the shower isn’t in use, which is quite ingenious and looks fantastic.

Use Bold Tiles To Make A Walk-In Shower A Feature

A walk-in shower can be a focal point in your bathroom rather than a minor detail. Bold tiles are a great way to achieve this, and you don’t need to tile much of the area to create an impact; try tiling the back of your walk-in shower with a large statement pattern and keeping the rest of the room basic so the shower becomes the focal point.

Work Next To A Window With A Walk-in Shower

A window in a bathroom is a desirable feature, but it can limit where you can place your bathroom furniture. A walk-in shower avoids all of these issues since you can simply install a window in the shower—a functional solution that also looks great!

Make A Walk-In Shower Nearly Invisible

If you have a small bathroom, constructing a walk-in shower that fits seamlessly and nearly invisibly into your space is a smart idea. Match the shower tiles to the wall tiles and keep the surround slim and basic.

How Much Does It Cost To Install A Walk-In Shower

This is determined by the design chosen. For a simple tray & screen design, you can get a pre-fab unit for roughly $1,000, but the prices rise from there if you want something more opulent. You may pay anything from $8,000 and $15,000 for something completely customized.

You must also consider the cost of installation. It depends on how much plumbing work you require, but it might cost between $2,000 and $2,500 if pipes need to be replaced. You should factor in the expense of waterproofing the room, which is likely to be roughly $1,000. The cost of tiles and labor to install them should also be accounted for—obviously, this will vary depending on the tiles you select, but on average, you should spend $2,000.

What Material Is Best For A Walk-In Shower

When selecting a material for your walk-in shower, you have many alternatives. Ceramic tiles or glass are some of the most popular shower wall options since they come in a variety of styles and are easy to maintain. Marble and natural stone also work well, but they can be expensive, so it all depends on your budget.

The ideal material for the walk-in shower flooring depends on your design—if you want a shower tray, you can select between acrylic and ceramic. If you’re going to tile the floor to match the rest of your area, you may need to be more selective.

Instead of a shower tray, opt for a walk-in shower or wet room, which enables the floor tiles to run to the shower area, adding visual space to a room. However, not all surfaces are suitable for usage in a wet environment, and it is critical to understand the slip rating of the material. To provide increased traction in damp situations, I recommend utilizing a material with a structured, textured finish. Mosaics are also an excellent choice for damp places since the grout lines between the tiles provide adequate grip.

Glass is usually an excellent choice for a bathroom. Glass, which is both transparent and reflecting, can make a space feel brighter and more expansive. Water-resistant marble appearance tiles may look truly sophisticated in wetrooms, and they also come in a variety of hues ranging from dark to light.

If you love spacey, bright and airy bathrooms, the luxury walk in shower could be just what you need. Despite its minimalist feel, there are numerous design styles to choose from. We have given you a few ideas above to get your creative juices flowing.

39 of the Best Wainscoting Ideas for Your Next Project

September 11, 2021

Home Renovation No Comments

Sebring Design Build

Wainscoting provides the perfect mix of function and style by adorning the lower half of walls while also protecting the wall from scuffs and smudges. This form of wall paneling started back in 1300s primarily as a way to shield the lower half of plaster walls from damage from things like chairs and boots. Today, they make up an important part of interior design, helping add some warmth and style to a space. Wainscoting is especially great at styling up bare walls that would otherwise look dull and boring.

Traditionally, wainscoting (typically pronounced as Wayne’s-Coating) is made from solid wood panels. But these days, there is so much more variety in materials. You can get it in plastic, plywood or medium fiber board (MDF). For more money per square foot, you can get yourself custom made hardwood wainscoting panels. Other materials used, though less commonly, include stone, tile and acrylic.

RESTFUL RESPITE

shton Woods

The height and color adds warmth without being too dark and the slightly deeper outer pieces give it more detail than the wainscotting you usually see.

Wainscoting Installation

While you can install your own wainscoting during your home renovation if you know your way around with tools, it is always best to hire a contractor to do a perfectly neat wainscoting installation. To save time and money, you can buy pre-made wainscoting panels so that the only work will be installing them onto the wall.

There are numerous styles, colors and patterns to choose from, ensuring that you can find something to match your décor. For instance, you can choose a recessed type of panel, raised panel or shaker panel.

PRETTY IN PINK

The pink color is just precious for this baby’s room.

HELMET FUN

Sebring Design Build

The decorating ledge is awesome in this boy’s bedroom. Plus the varying sizes of the rectangle and square detail in the wainscotting makes it more interesting.

Wainscoting Height

An important part of wainscoting is its height. This greatly defines its look and how it impacts the overall style of the room. When planning a wainscot installation, the first step is to measure the height you want it to reach. Here are a few pointers on how to Measure Your Walls for Wainscoting Panels.

Generally, the wainscoting goes up to a 1/3 of the wall height. This is not a rigid rule; you can place it lower or higher depending on your specific décor preferences.Determine the height of the bottom wainscoting railing, which usually starts at 7.5 inches.Measure the width of the wall and divided it by the number of panels you want, determining the size of each panel.

For more accuracy, ask your contractor to help you take the wall measurements. Use these measurements in buying the right wainscoting panels and molding.

Ideas For Wainscoting

Wainscoting used to serve a simple utilitarian purpose. Back in the 18th century, before central heating, putting the wood to the lower part of a wall was an elegant and inconspicuous way to insulate a space. But just because wainscoting isn’t needed to keep your home warm doesn’t mean it’s lost its allure. With the correct combination, this once-outdated element can feel shockingly new and current.

What Is Wainscoting?

Wainscoting (or paneling) is a wall covering usually used for decorative purposes to provide architectural detail to an interior area.

Wainscoting was initially employed for two reasons: to insulate the chilly stone walls of ancient houses and to keep moisture out.

That is no longer the case, and the purposes and materials employed have developed significantly throughout the years.

Material Used For Ideas For Wainscoting

The chosen material in 18th century Europe was light oak wood, but today it spans from other types of wood to plastic and fiberboard.

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) engineered wood is a popular paneling material because it is denser than plywood and easier to work with.

dvantages And Disadvantages

Wall panels are stylish and sophisticated. Consider luxurious flats and cottage houses throughout the ages.

They were found in medieval homes, as well as in Georgian and Victorian interiors.

Throughout history, they were seen as beneficial and fashionable, and they expanded all the way to America and European colonies abroad.

So paneling your home is a timeless style statement.

Wainscoting also serves two practical purposes: panels can conceal wall flaws while remaining repairable and interchangeable.

They can conceal abnormalities, protruding wires or cables, and even prevent wetness.

Wainscoting also helps to insulate the walls on the interior.

Even if you don’t have a moisture problem, your room could benefit from some soundproofing or thermal insulation to keep you warm in the winter.

Panels, on the other hand, require more care than many other types of walls.

Under certain conditions, wood can rot, distort, or lose moisture.

Of course, wall panels can be fixed or replaced. However, homeowners should still take care of them by ensuring that they are properly mounted and not deformed by external forces, painting them with the appropriate paint, or waxing them if the room conditions are too dry.

Another questionable disadvantage of wainscoting is its age.

While some consider them to be classy, many say they do not necessarily go well with a cleaner, minimalist modern style.

Wainscoting can be quite contemporary and modern-looking, as evidenced by our collection of over 30 ideas.

Types Of Wainscoting

There are several varieties of panels, including flat and raised panels, beadboard, and board and batten.

Typically, when we think of wainscoted walls, we think of panels.

Beadboard

Wainscoting with beadboard is an exception to this norm.

It is made up of panes that are mounted vertically next to one other and separated by a narrow bead (ridge).

Wainscoting panels are made out of a frame (rails and stiles) with a flat panel inside.

They might be flat (flat panel wainscoting) or elevated (raised panel wainscoting) (raised panel wainscoting).

The only distinction between the two kinds is the panel itself, not the frame.

Batten And Board

Board and batten wainscoting is made up of broader boards alternated with narrower battens.

This style adds informality to wainscoting and is even used for building exteriors.

The battens’ role is to provide strength to the structure.

Final Thoughts:

With so many styles to choose from, you are assured of finding one that is perfect for your home. Remember to get a style that will blend in well with your existing room décor and which you love. With the right choice, you can transform an ordinary kitchen or living room into a chic yet homely space.

Getting Your Basement Finishing Project Underway

So you have decided to turn your musty junk-filled basement into a warm liveable space. Or maybe you are already using the basement but want to style it up a notch. Basement design ideas are limitless. Whether you want a cool chic look or a more dramatic themed basement, the choices are endless. But before you decide on the style you want for your new finished basement, here are a few things to consider.

First, what are you using your basement for? This will greatly determine what finish you give the basement. A living area needs to feel warm and cozy, a bedroom needs to have a quiet and relaxing finish and a game room needs some exciting colors. There are plenty of websites offering basement finishing ideas you can borrow. We have our own list below that you can use as a starting point. Find a style that pleases you and adapt it to fit your finished basement.

Let Your Creativity Fly

Do not be bound so much by functionality and practicality that you forget about making the basement a fun place to be in. While playing it safe with the rooms above is understandable, let the space below be your own personal canvas. Try out a crazy theme, a cool wall art, a unique color pattern, or anything else that comes to mind.

Check out some cool basement ideas we have compiled below, in addition, you can take a look at our own Before & After Finished Basement Remodeling Ideas portfolio. Included below is everything from themed finished basement ideas to small finished basement ideas.

On to the planning phase. Planning is essential to achieving the right finish for your basement. A good idea is to use one of the many online tools to create a cad drawing of the room. Put in the wall color, seat arrangements, and anything else you want to have an idea of how the basement will look.

Even if you do not use an online tool, plan extensively beforehand as to exactly what you plan to do. What color will the wall be? Will you put in any art? What flooring style will you go for? If your budget allows, you can consult an interior designer for recommendations. One advantage of such planning is that it allows you to set out a budget that you can work within, ensuring that you are not caught short of cash in the middle of your project.

Tips For Nailing Finished Basements Ideas

When most people envision their basement, they envision an unfinished place filled with cobwebs, odd trash, and cold concrete. Many homeowners fail to recognize the potential. Consider a fully realized area, tailored to fit into your ideal home, an extension of the quality and personality you instill in the rest of the house.

Designing Finished Basement Ideas

It’s a big step from an underutilized unfinished basement to a completely restored and finished basement. Before beginning building, there are numerous options to consider. One of the most enjoyable aspects of renovating is creating your unique vision. Whether you want to use modern basement ideas or functional basement ideas, the new room will reflect your unique creative touch. If you give yourself a few hours, you might be astonished at how many innovative basement designs you can come up with.

Home Theater System

When it comes to basement design, nothing beats the classics. This classic feature enhances the luxury and value of your home. Consider a cozy night in with friends and family to watch the latest blockbuster in the comfort of your own home theater.

Workout Room

This is the ideal complement for the multi-functional individual. With this function, you’ll never have to pay for another monthly gym membership. Make the most of your healthy living by investing in a fully equipped home gym perfectly suited to your workout requirements.

Recreational Area

In this relaxing area, recline in your favorite chair. Consider a room that has been specifically designed for technology-free leisure. There’s a pool table, a foosball table, a dartboard, a handmade board game table, a pingpong table, and more just down the stairs.

Dry Or Wet Bar

What better way to relax after work than with a refreshing beverage from the comfort of a personalized bar? This area can also serve as a terrific entertainment component for a lively get-together with friends and family for any occasion.

n At-Home Office

This practical basement design is ideal for those who have L-shaped basement floor plans. While optimizing productivity, enclose your workspace in a personalized home office. Go upstairs to leave your work at home.

Craft Shop

A multi-purpose craft room is a terrific little finished basement concept if you need extra space for hobbies. Building storage features and installing useful fixtures are wonderful methods to personalize your home makeover for this type of redesign.

dditional Living Area

As a family grows, the room becomes increasingly scarce. Creating a completely new area with new rooms and living areas ensures that your family will fit, no matter how large it becomes. Even modest basements can contain one or two additional rooms.

Basement Essentials

Whatever your creative orientation, there are certain elements that every basement redesign must include in order to improve the area. When planning your redesign, make sure you don’t overlook any of the following important details:

• An abundance of high-quality lighting fixtures.

• A bathroom, either full or half.

• Additional storage for unused furniture and objects; and

• An open concept design.

Basement remodeling can be stressful, and understandably so. But the styling aspect will provide some much-needed fun. Seeing your newly finished basement take shape as the flooring is installed and the walls painted will be exciting and there is no feeling like seeing it come to life as furniture is put into place and light fixtures are installed.

41 Incredible Man Cave Ideas That Will Make You Jealous

September 10, 2021

Home Renovation No Comments

Featured Image: Sebring Design Build

A man cave is a personal sanctuary where you can indulge your hobbies and guilty pleasures with freedom. It provides personal space for much needed me-time especially if you have a big family and busy days, as well as a great selling point for potential buyers. The best thing about it is that you have complete control over the aesthetics. So however crazy or unique you want the design to be, you can have it all.

There are three important factors to consider when planning a man cave; location, style and furnishings.

Location

The location of your man cave will depend a lot on where you can get extra space in the house. In many cases, the basement makes a perfect location. When properly refurbished, it is cozy and well insulated from the racket of the kids above. If you have no basement in your home or if it is being used for another function, there are plenty of great garage man cave ideas too. You can also use an extra room, an unused bedroom, or a secluded area in the house. If you have limited space to use as a man cave, don’t worry, there are some creative man cave ideas for small rooms below.

Wherever you locate it, what is most important is the feeling of privacy and personal space.

Man Cave Room Ideas

This is the most important part of the man cave. Be as creative, as crazy, and as unique as you want. The most common starting point is to decide what theme you want dominating the room. This will depend on your hobbies and activities. Some create replicas of submarines or airplane cockpits. Some fill their man cave with film or music regalia. It all depends on your passions. The trick is to create a theme that feels right at home with you, one that makes your heart race a bit every time you step inside the man cave.

Make sure that everything from the wall color, to the style of furnishings, to the flooring are aligned with a specific theme. While we have numerous man cave room ideas below to get your creative juices flowing, you should also check out our home remodeling ideas.

HOOPS & HORSEPOWER

Furnishings and Accessories

A man cave is a home within a home. As such, it must be well accessorized to become a livable space. Furniture such as a sofa and recliner are a must. Also consider putting in a fridge, microwave, drinks bar (if size allows) and bar stools.

If you are a sports or movie lover, make space for a large screen TV. A pool table, poker table, or dart board are also great additions especially if you plan on having guests over often.

Other accessories include sports memorabilia, wall art, and personally crafted items.

Man Cave Ideas At Home

When you like to get away from the stresses of contemporary life for a while, nothing beats a relaxing vacation to your man cave. These treasured areas allow us to slow down in a fast-paced environment and recharge our batteries for men. For many men with families, the man cave may be the only place in the house they can genuinely call their own. It is a location that is specifically designed for masculine energy and interests.

Our man caves are also personal sanctuaries where we may honor the various memories we’ve amassed throughout the years. It’s where we keep the things that are most important to us, such as our trophies, photographs, and even the baseball card collection we’ve had since we were kids. A man cave is similar to a closet. It is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your distinct style and individuality.

Man caves are, of course, great places to entertain. Home theaters, sports rooms with pool tables, and even indoor basketball courts are just a few of the ways that men use their man caves to unwind with friends after a long day at work.

Your man cave may become your ultimate at-home hideaway, whether it’s utilized to decompress after a long day at work, watch the big game, hang out with a group of friends, or get in a workout. Check out these ideas for establishing a man cave if you’re looking for ways to create your hangout at home!

Where To Put Man Cave Ideas

This is entirely up to you! Your ultimate man cave might be built in a variety of locations, depending on what you want to build and the available space in your home. These are only a few examples.

ttic Or Flex Room

Don’t know what to do with an attic or bonus room? Convert it into a man cave! Not only does this make use of previously unused space, but it can also provide your man cave extra privacy!

Basement

Basements offer privacy for your man cave! With a basement, you can have an entirely different décor and atmosphere from the rest of the house, allowing you to personalize it.

Garage

Because there is no carpet or furniture to worry about in this area of the house, a garage man cave can be a fantastic place for a home gym, workshop, or art studio where you can get a bit dirty!

Backyard Or Patio

The backyard is a wonderful place to barbeque, sit by the pool, play yard games, or simply enjoy the weather. If you enjoy spending time outside, a patio or deck could be the ideal location for your man cave!

Outbuilding Or Shed

Your man cave does not even have to be connected to the rest of the house! A detached building in the backyard can be converted into a man shed, ideal for loud activities like cheering at a game, using power tools, or playing instruments.

Extra Bedroom

Do you have an additional bedroom that you aren’t using? Underutilized spare bedrooms or other underutilized areas in the home are blank canvases begging to be transformed into a man cave!

By now, you must be brimming over with your own man cave ideas, or at the very least, you have found one or two ideas worth considering. If you are ready to go ahead with creating a man cave, we are here to help. We know more than a little about interior design and home remodeling. Our experience and expertise would come in handy in creating the coolest man cave of your dreams. Feel free to head to our basement finishing page for more info.
