It’s a place where relaxation and luxury go hand in hand. Hot tubs can be fabulous additions to the home, but maximizing your backyard space to accommodate for it is key. Some deck designs can be built around a hot tub, depending on its size and capacity. Once you figure out how to make your deck and hot tub work together in harmony, you can choose how you want it to look.

How To Determine If A Deck Can Support A Hot Tub

Naturally, you want to inspect your deck to ensure it can hold a fair amount of weight. If it can’t, there are ways to add the proper amount of support. Decks are one of the most common (and most preferred) backyard locations for a hot tub, and there are ways to carefully plan for its structural integrity so that all is done safely.

The Formula

There is actually a specific formula that can help you determine the weight of your spa, and whether your deck is supported enough to hold it:

[Weight of Hot Tub + (Number of Gallons of Water in Your Tub x 8.34lbs) + (Number of Total People Hot Tub Can Seat x 175lbs)] / Number of Total Square Feet of Your Tub = Your Pounds Per Square Foot

There can be extra factors and variations added by the manufacturer, or by the professional contractor you’re speaking with. This is just a general mathematical formula to determine weight at the baseline, but other considerations are needed. This is especially true if your deck is already elevated, or if you plan on elevating it while installing a built-in hot tub.

ZEN SPACE

What an amazing pool deck that surrounds the tub.

BACKYARD OASIS

SPA STONE

HYDROPOOL

The Rule of Thumb

It’s always recommended to check with the hot tub’s manufacturer for specific weight information first. It is also to speak with a renovation expert about the status of your deck before starting any projects on your own.

That being said, it is generally understood that decks situated just a few feet above the ground can hold roughly 100 pounds per square foot. If your hot tub’s manufacturer lets you know that the hot tub weighs less than 100 pounds per square foot (filled with water, of course), then you do not need to worry about adding extra reinforcements.

Extra Considerations

Of course, it’s important to consider extra weight factors such as yourself and your family while you enjoy the tub. Typically, the manufacturer takes this into account when giving you the numbers. But if you still aren’t feeling completely confident with how to reinforce a deck for a hot tub, you are encouraged to reach out to a contractor who can help you further your deck specifications for a safe – and stylish – spa construction.

Deck Designs With Hot Tub

While a deck with a hot tub isn’t the rarest backyard build, there are certainly some designs that stand out more than others. Designing a deck around a hot tub – or vice versa – is a great way to incorporate natural with man-made landscaping. Many homeowners see it as a harmony of the elements, with water and wood completing each other as one extending backyard unit. It flows well with an open-concept style home, where each individual element comes together to be a part of the whole.

Here are some of the top backyard designs to complement your yard, no matter the size or style.

1. Small Space Deck Tub

Our first hot tub on deck design features a smaller backyard, to emphasize the importance of space optimization, rather than expansion. A lot can be done with vertical space, and an elevated spa on top of a small deck can add that sense of depth and dimension to completely transform the space.

Not only will this make your backyard space look larger, but it will also make the hot tub the focal point of the entire display. This is a great idea for deck corners as well. Built-in spas can be incorporated into the overall design of the deck, and elevated spas will add to its value without needing a deck redesign.

2. Big Yard, Small Deck

If you plan on building a deck along with your hot tub, you don’t necessarily need to dominate the space. Big backyards can incorporate a number of elements and themes at once, much like a home. You can build a smaller deck that exists on just one side or corner of your yard, while the rest is complete with your other landscaping ideas.

When this type of construction comes into play, it’s important to take a piece of wisdom from the previous image. Stack the hot tub on top of the deck to give it more visual size growth. Again, expanding vertically gives you a lot more to work with. These decks can also rest on the ground level, so you won’t have to worry about the specifics of weight per square foot.

ROMANTIC

Hot Spring Spas

One of a kind use of stone around the hot tub to give it that rough look.

ROOF DECK

Trace Kannel Architecture

A hot tub on the roof is a perfect place for privacy.

BRILLIANT

ndrew Hinman Architecture

Amazing use of architecture and design to make this hot tub design.

JACUZZI

Oregon Hot Tub

So satisfying to see how the hot tub sits flush with its exterior.

3. Raised Short Deck

Combine traditional and modern with a raised short deck and hot tub addition. Short decks are designed to elevate your backyard space while giving you all the luxury of a backyard retreat. One popular idea is to accent the space with seating and greenery while keeping your leisure area as the main focal point of the space. The deck can be built to accommodate the hot tub, or the hot tub can be measured and weighed for the perfect placement on your already-built backyard deck.

4. Rooftop Deck with Raised Spa

Even if you aren’t lucky enough to have a rooftop patio, this design might still be useful when it comes to planning out your space. Rooftop decks are not large, yet they can account for a lot of luxury. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in something more precious: privacy. Decks are meant to be an expression of privacy, especially when you can enjoy them in your own home.

Structurally-speaking, you may have special considerations to take into account if the deck is on the roof. Installing a spa might be easiest if you do so above-deck, creating the perfect space for privacy and relaxation – with a stunning view.

The perfect spot to relax and be one with nature.

5. Your Own Private Spa

Don’t have time to go to the spa? Don’t have time for weekly hot tub dips or sauna cleanses? Take matters into your own hands and build a backyard spa that treats your every need in the comfort of your home. You can transform your deck into a private spa area by adding fencing to close the space in. Design steps leading up to an elevated deck, or add a gate to make entry even more private.

Build your hot tub in the deck. Add some comfy chairs or even a massage table in the space to really make it your own. Turn on some relaxing music, enjoy the sights and smells of your thriving gardens, and stay warm in the bubbling hot tub all night long.

Sebring Tip: Add a few drops of natural essential oils into your bubbling hot tub to produce a variety of lovely and calming smells, such as lavender or orange.

6. A Four-Post Structure

Is your backyard a little too free from privacy for your tastes? You can accommodate for that by building your own walls and hedges to keep the neighbors’ eyes away. A creative trend that many homeowners are investing in is the four-post structure style, creating lattice walls and trellis around three sides of the hot tub. That way, you can have a more private space on your deck without having to pay for expensive landscaping costs.

Plus, you can control how much privacy you want. With a trellis, you can plant vines, or create a wall of bushes to block the neighbors’ view while keeping up with a natural garden look. Checkout these Spring Gardening Tips.

WINE NIGHT

STONE WALL

7. Wrap-Around Deck Stairs

There’s just as much opportunity with a real, built-in hot tub as there is with a hot tub stacked on top of the deck. If you want to go completely built-in, you can expand the design of your deck to offer something contemporary and unique. Wrap-around stairs are a popular and inexpensive addition to a deck that can blend the floor and deck levels together while also leading the eyes towards the prize: the hot tub.

Spas should always be a major focus of the backyard, one that suggests luxury and leisure. The hot tub can be made beautiful with all of the solid wood decking surrounding it. Wrap-around wooden deck stairs can frame the tub while adding more natural wood to your yard.

8. A Deck, With A Hot Tub On The Side

Maximizing your space to add a hot tub doesn’t mean you have to change anything about the way your deck currently looks. It’s always possible to add a side extension to your deck – perhaps even on an elevated level – to fit the hot tub while keeping the main area of your deck as the major focus that pulls the yard together. Add lots of greenery around the deck to blend natural and man-made in perfect unison.

Decks can hold a lot of important backyard pieces in its space. Make sure you have room for your table and chairs, fire pit, barbecue, or any other functional piece that makes your backyard experience complete.

CITY PENTHOUSE

Secret Gardens

An oasis overlooking a body of water close to a city.

CLOSE TO NATURE

9. Backyard Gazebo Oasis

For those who have as little space as possible to make any additions or changes, there is still hope. You can add layers of privacy, beauty, and dimension by building a gazebo around your hot tub. Raised hot tubs can be an eyesore if they don’t have a lot surrounding them. But you can easily box them in with a beautifully-built wooden gazebo that extends the look of your deck upwards and completes your backyard as a cohesive style.

Plus, this will add a layer of privacy that can keep you feeling safe and secure in your backyard – even if it isn’t the most closed-off space to begin with. Adding trellises with vines, slatted fencing, or lots of greenery can give you all the privacy you need.

10. Maximum Elevation With Built-in Benches

You can easily build a wooden bench that matches the height of your hot tub while also providing additional seating space. Not only have you just added new levels to your deck, resulting in a look of height and depth, but you’ve also created more function out of a valuable backyard piece that already serves you so well. This is a great way to maximize your form, function, design, and style all into one.

This works well with elevated hot tubs that are placed on the side or in the corner of the deck area. Lifting the wood up to meet the top of the hot tub makes it all feel like a cohesive unit, rather than just having an ugly spa sitting on top of a wooden deck. Now you have somewhere to safely enter the hot tub, or take a seat, or store your towels. It’s a win-win situation for form and function.

Transform Your Backyard Deck Into The Hottest Spa In Your Home!

It doesn’t take much to turn your deck into a spa-friendly place for the ultimate luxury and leisure. However, it’s important to speak with a professional before moving on to any of the steps in your backyard plan. There are lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration before a hot tub can be safely elevated onto a deck – or built into one.

Depending on the shape, size, and weight per square foot of the hot tub, you will have a number of options to build it into your deck. And if you can only place it on top, you can build extra accommodations to make it look like the tub has existed there all along.

It’s easy to do this in an affordable and reliable way with Sebring Design Build.

Building Your Outdoor Kitchen

The art of outdoor entertaining can increase both your creativity and your land value. Outdoor kitchens are leisurely, allowing families to enjoy the feeling of a good cookout without having to stay indoors. But there are a few key considerations to understand when embarking on your outdoor kitchen journey. Take a look at some of these DIY outdoor kitchen ideas and tips to help you transform your backyard into the outdoor entertainment center you want it to be.

Take Accurate Measurements

You need to take the space and size of your backyard into account before deciding which outdoor kitchen ideas work best for you. You can get in touch with a professional contractor for help making measurements of your patio and kitchen area. Make sure not to put aside too much backyard space for the kitchen alone, as you still need an area for comfortable seating, tabling, and relaxation.

Think About Framing

Is your outdoor kitchen going to be the main focal point of the backyard? How many components of the outdoor kitchen do you plan on installing? Being able to answer these questions will give you a better idea of the design you’re looking for.

Plus, you should make sure that you have a sturdy foundation built up for you to base all of your appliances on. Make sure that whatever you’re building is solid enough to hold the backyard kitchen you plan on having.

Know Your Decor And Details

An outdoor kitchen isn’t complete without a nearby place to sit down and enjoy the food. Arranging your decor can be another big step in the decision-making process when looking for new outdoor kitchen ideas. And going beyond just form, you need function, too. Make sure you’ve planned for additional storage space for your cookware and dishes. Make sure you know where your water and gas lines are if you plan on installing a stove or sink. Get all the details before you set the design portion of your plan into motion.

Outdoor Kitchen Ideas For Small Spaces

Just because your backyard is small, doesn’t mean there isn’t a space for an outdoor kitchen. In fact, some of the best designs can be laid on a budget. The most important thing an outdoor kitchen needs is a functional space, not a large one. In fact, you can even design a kitchen that is closeby to your indoor one; that way, you can quickly run in and grab additional items without having to run all throughout the house. It also allows you to use many of the same gas and water hookups that you use for your regular kitchen. Saving energy and time go hand in hand with saving space.

Make It Separate

When it comes to cooking outdoors, you just need a place for your stove or oven to ventilate. As long as you can build sufficient space for that, the rest of your design can be resized to your liking. One clever idea is to build a small bar or island that can be designated especially for the outdoor kitchen. The rest of your backyard can be left the way it is, or reserved for other functions. It will help your space to feel larger while also having a special space put aside just for cooking.

Keep It Covered

A covered outdoor kitchen can actually expand its lifespan. Offering your outdoor kitchen a fair amount of protection from the elements or the sun’s constant rays can prolong the functionality of your appliances and utensils. Wooden archways or patio covers make excellent coverings for an outdoor kitchen and bar area. It can be solid or slatted to fit well with your already-existing style.

Combine Your Cooking And Seating Areas

Kitchens with attached bars look attractive for a reason. It can be both a fun and functional way to conserve space while making sure not to skimp out on any of the outdoor kitchen necessities. You can have a full seating area with some chairs and plenty of space for food and drinks on the bar, while your oven or stove is on the other side. This is sure to liven up your holiday barbecues, and this time you won’t be embarrassed to invite the neighbors.

Rustic Outdoor Kitchen Ideas

Something about old fashioned makes it always in fashion. The rustic, artisan style is popular for outdoor kitchens, especially those inspired by rustic country farms or Tuscan villas.

Make New Look Like Old

Rustic kitchens use a lot of slatted and reclaimed wood to decorate tables, provide awnings and offer unique decoration. Mixing a little bit of old in with the new – like leaving some vintage kitchen utensils on the bar for decor – can really go a long way by boosting the value of your yard. Using farm tools as functional decoration pieces (like the top of a pitchfork for hanging your spatulas, for example) will add both history and charm to your once plain backyard.

Work With Nature

You dont need to separate the kitchen part of your backyard from the garden part of backyard. Incorporate it all at once so you can get that true rustic farmhouse look. Build seating areas around tree trunks, or use old wooden flowerbeds as coolers to store fresh ingredients. There are a number of ways to enhance the design of your outdoor kitchen by giving it some old fashioned style.

Use Stone and Brick

It’s true that wood gives off a rustic vibe. But stone and brick can transform your outdoor kitchen into a quaint cottage or old-fashioned European home. The cool stone walls will help regulate temperatures as your cooking is sure to turn up the heat. Some homeowners even opt for built-in pizza ovens right into the stone, where hand-tossed pies can be cooked to perfection.

Make A Fireplace Retreat

Add a covering and a fireplace to your kitchen area for a true rustic outdoors experience. You can create your own little sanctuary in your old-fashioned outdoor kitchen. It’s your own escape from the stresses of modern life while you and your family can enjoy the feeling of living in simpler times.

DIY Outdoor Kitchen Ideas

Looking to build your outdoor kitchen with your own hands? There are a couple of designs that will help make your job easier – and more amazing.

Make An Island Frame

The best way to get the kitchen of your dreams with your own work and materials is to construct a frame for a kitchen island. No matter the size of the yard, it might be easy to have a separate piece made just for the kitchen, rather than having to rip up or replace certain parts of your yard that already exist. You should also know your materials. Wood is combustible yet affordable, and brick is heavy and long-lasting. Even if you are invested in a DIY project, you may still want to communicate with a professional contractor to ensure that you have all the materials and supply you need to build a reinforced structure.

Build A Patio Or Deck

Outdoor kitchens look wonderful on top of a patio or deck, where they are elevated to become the focal point of the yard. If you have parts of your outdoor kitchen ready, but nowhere to put it, you can start by designating a solid foundation to put your kitchen upon. Decks made of wood and patios made of concerete are both solid options – no pun intended.

Outdoor Kitchen Ideas On A Budget

Sometimes it’s good to get back to basics. When you’re working on a budget, you learn to really reflect on what’s necessary and what isn’t. There are several ways you can build your dream outdoor kitchen while sticking to your price plan. Some parts of the outdoor kitchen experience might be DIY, but that can be part of the fun, and all the more rewarding once it’s built.

TROPICAL

New Leaf Construction

What a relaxing place to have a cook out.

EXTERNAL BAR

Mihaly Slocombe

Amazing space that has all the high-end elements.

Plot Out Your Essentials

Designing a kitchen that has just the basics doesn’t mean it needs to look bad or bare. In fact, a little bit can go a long way. Spending some of your budget on a nice grill that comes with plenty of storage and cleanup space will save you the cost of separate cabinets and trash cans later. A basic table and chairs is all that’s needed to make an inviting dinner setting where your friends and family will enjoy dining with you under the stars. Or, you can build your own kitchen island and install some of your kitchen appliances inside of it to make it look like a full modular component.

Get Reused Or Salvaged Materials

Looking to make a wooden island frame but you can’t afford to cut a bunch of fresh lumber? There are still options available. Go to salvage yards or recycling centers where you can find reclaimed wood, stone, countertops, building materials, and even some appliances or machinery that might help you further your outdoor kitchen plans. Your local hardware store might even have “put-it-together” kits where you can install modular kitchen appliances without having to build every little thing from scratch.

Focus On The Seating

If you can’t afford much in the way of kitchen appliances, don’t feel like it’s going to dampen your idea of a picturesque backyard. You can enhance other parts of the kitchen design – such as the seating and tabling arrangements – in a more opulent way. Keeping in mind that both form and function are important, and what you lack in function you can make up for in form. Having a simple grill is enough to create an entire outdoor kitchen space.

Install A TV

Again, you can focus on the extra parts of the outdoor design to make up for a lack of actual kitchen appliances. Having a television set up next to your seating area can make it the best place for entertainment. What was once an empty space is now the go-to spot for family gatherings and neighborhood parties every summer. Simple outdoor kitchens are all you need to create a dynamic space.

Build Your Outdoor Kitchen Without Limits

Achieving your ideal outdoor kitchen design is not something that has to empty out your bank account. If you are working on a budget, there are plenty of design and decor options that will take a little bit and go a long way with it. In fact, some of the most popular outdoor kitchens have been made in small spaces or with a small budget.

If you are in the market for multiple appliances and a designated kitchen setup in your yard, there are a number of ideas to help you enhance the space. As an example, building a deck or patio can add new levels and dimension to your yard, making it look bigger than it was before. Or, you can design a patio cover that will cover the kitchen area for a more private and peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors.

21 Wainscoting Ideas For Your Home Remodel

October 4, 2021

Featured Image Source: MantelCraft

Dating back centuries, wainscoting is a tradition that adds value to the home regardless of style or design. Installing unique wainscoting patterns in the bathroom, kitchen, or hallways can really boost your overall look. When it comes to these architectural accents, there is something for everybody to enjoy.

It is one of the simplest and most elegant ways to add architectural detail to your home. It is the perfect technique for making your plain walls a little more lively. Not only is it visually stunning, but it’s utilitarian as well.

Whether you want a simple trim, or you want to go all out with molding and chair rail details, there are a lot of ways to turn wainscoting into something useful. Below are our favorite bathroom wainscoting ideas, as well as some DIY wainscoting ideas for those of you who want to start this project as soon as possible.

Wainscoting, Defined

First, let’s take a look at what wainscoting means for your bathroom. According to Realtor.com, wainscoting began as a tradition in the early 1700s to provide more insulation to homes for added warmth. It also provides a fairly durable sheeting around your wall for extra protection. Nowadays, it’s used mainly for decorative purposes to create more visual appeal.

In the past, wainscoting has been made completely from wood. While that’s largely still the case, the art of wainscoting has grown to include a number of materials such as pressed wood, fiberboard, PVC plastic, and embossed metal. Even drywall can be used for wainscoting, although it is not often recommended for wainscoting ideas in the bathroom due to its inability to hold up to moisture.

When designed correctly, wainscoting should start partly up the wall with a chair rail, and have a base board at the bottom of the wall. While wainscoting typically does not go higher than 31” – 32”, it can be applied liberally if the design is right. Between the base molding and the top railing, what happens in between is up to the creative eye of the homeowner.

Let’s take a look at some popular and artistic wainscoting ideas that can help spruce up your bathroom or foyer.

Unifying Wainscoting

Wainscoting is often installed in the bathroom in order to blend the room together. It’s a great way to join ceiling and floor, making everything look like one cohesive unit. It’s a good idea to match wainscoting to the color of your sinks or tub, for example, and then raise it upwards to the wall to incorporate elements at all levels. This can really help to elevate your bathroom from plain to sophisticated.

Matching Cabinetry

Another idea is to match your wainscoting to your bathroom cabinetry, which can make the whole room look more uniform rather than disjointed. This is well done in a traditional style, and can be incorporated into more contemporary looks as well. Wainscoting that is painted in the same color as the cabinets can extend the look of the cabinets upwards and outwards, which actually can make the room appear bigger altogether.

Merge With Backsplash

Speaking of making the room look bigger, merging the wainscoting with the backsplash can make your bathroom walls grow – literally. This is another ideal way to create a spacious effect. It will also make the wainscoting appear higher, since it blends so seamlessly with the backsplash. But this makes it easier for you to attach additional features to your bathroom such as towel rings, light fixtures, and wall art.

Floor Matching

Matching with cabinets and appliances might be one thing, but matching with the floor is another option as well. This serves to both elongate the room and bring it together. And by matching, not only do we mean matching the color of the floor, but the texture and pattern as well. Wood paneling looks great when extended upwards on the wall, or when finished across the room in a molding.

More Wood Paneling

When it comes to wood paneling on your wainscoting decoration, there are nearly countless ways to go about it. One thing that deserves to be brought to attention is the unique usefulness of horizontal lines. It’s no secret that most wood paneling is assembled vertically, and there’s good reason for that – it can accentuate features and elongate the look of the room. But there’s a place in design for horizontal panels too. In fact, it might serve to add some dynamism to the room if you combine both vertical and horizontal panels together.

Going Back To The Basics

One of the best DIY wainscoting ideas is to just stick with the basics. All you need for successful wainscoting is a top rail, stiles, and a baseboard. You have a number of style and material options at your disposal, and as long as you have the tools to accurately measure the walls and place the studs, you can transform your bathroom into something of elegance all on your own.

Updating Existing Wainscoting

Maybe you already have a wainscoting decoration in your bathroom, but you don’t like the way it looks. Instead of tearing it down and building a completely new one, you can apply some updates to what you have. An easy and budget-friendly way to do this is to repaint and re-stain your molding and baseboards to match a color you desire. We recommend using a semi-gloss paint, as they are more resistant to dirt and can be wiped down easily.

Forget Color

On the opposite end of the spectrum, sometimes adding more color is too much for your bathroom. Instead, leave the wainscoting white. This is an especially good bathroom wainscoting idea if you already have a lot of color and vibrancy to begin with. If you’ve chosen intricate flooring or brightly-colored cabinets, add white wainscoting to neutralize the area and offset the chance that someone will be visually overwhelmed. Plus, it adds a touch of class, which boosts the value of your home.

9. Use Wainscoting To Cover Up Tile

The great thing about wainscoting is that you don’t necessarily need to have a solid foundation behind it in order to build upon. If your bathroom has some damaged tile or vinyl on the walls, it can be cheaper to cover it up than to go through a full bathroom remodel. Simple wainscoting can be applied in front of your damaged tile to create a whole new look for a bathroom, increasing its value in the process. This takes “out of sight, out of mind” to a whole new level!

Wainscoting As The Defining Color

Some people have a lot of color in their bathrooms, and others don’t. For those who are lacking in something other than monotone, the wainscoting can be an excellent opportunity to add a splash of flair. Make the wainscoting the primary source of color in the room. Not only will it beautify the bathroom, but it will train the eyes to make the wainscoting the focal point of the room. This will make it even more appealing.

Replace Tiles

If you’re considering putting wall tiles in your bathroom, you might want to think about installing wainscoting instead. Not only can this save you money (especially if you are a DIY wainscoting kind of person), but it can actually amplify the visual and architectural appeal of the bathroom. Plus, tile in many cases actually adds an element of coldness to the bathroom, which may not be the type of ambiance you’re looking for.

Dark Wainscoting To Accentuate The Mood

Small half-bathrooms and powder rooms can benefit from some mood-amplifying wainscoting. You may think that adding architectural detail to a room that’s already so small is too overwhelming, but not when it’s done right. For example, a dark powder room with moody wallpaper can be accentuated by black wainscoting to give the once insignificant room a dramatic appeal. The same method can be applied with light, cheery colors as well.

Match Your Floor Tiles

You can match your wainscoting to your floor without having to completely make things color-for-color. If your bathroom has a nice floor tile pattern with multiple colors, choose the one you’d like to highlight the most. Paint your wainscoting in that color (or very similar shades of that color) to make the room pop. It creates a sense of cohesiveness in the meantime, too.

Wainscoting Around All Elements Of The Bathroom

You can help create a “pop” in your bathroom by wainscoting around the elements of the bathroom, rather than just the walls. For example, if your tub is built into the structure of the bathroom with a little bit of drywall around it, you can add the wainscoting around all four sides of the tub for visual appeal. This will definitely make the space in your bathroom appear larger, and it will give it some depth so you have different height levels to work with.

Wainscoting With A Pattern

You don’t need to limit yourself to the traditional paneling or bedboard style. Wainscoting has limitless decoration options, and it’s important to find one that you can get the most value and enjoyment out of. One of our favorite selections includes diamond-shaped panels between the railing and the baseboard to make things architecturally interesting.

How High Should The Wainscoting Wall Be?

Incorporating your wainscoting bathroom ideas can be a challenge if you don’t have a ton of wall height to work with. But thankfully, most wainscoting professionals aren’t too stingy on the specifics. While the traditional height of a wainscoting design reaches up to 32”, the average in bathrooms is extended to 36”. Some people with very tall ceilings in their bathrooms have reported their wainscoting measuring up to 52”. This is mainly up to a personal decision, but there are a few things to consider:

Building the wainscoting too high, or all the way up to the ceiling, will sacrifice the nature of the duality that wainscoting brings to the bathroom in the first place.You don’t want the wainscoting to overwhelm all other elements of the bathroom, but rather you want to use it as an accent.Wainscoting can be a good way to protect the bathroom walls against mildew, mold, and moisture buildup. But be sure to get an exterior grade paint that will ward that moisture off in the first place.

Remember that wainscoting is a textured wall paneling that adds to your existing wall, rather than replaces it. If you want floor-to-ceiling paneling, it can serve well in the way of design, but some people would be hard-pressed to call that actual wainscoting. It shouldn’t extend more than halfway up the wall, and in most cases, it covers even less of it. You want something that will add to your architectural height, not completely take it over.

Find Additional Wainscoting Techniques For Your Dream Bathroom Remodeling Project

Wainscoting is certainly not one of the top necessities of any room, but it can add plenty of value and architectural appeal. If you’re looking for ways to accentuate your half-bath, powder room, or full bathroom, wainscoting can be an elegant and affordable way to do it. In fact, improving on the trim around your walls, especially on your wainscoting, can really boost the net value of your home.

While most wainscoting projects can be done in a DIY fashion, it’s important to work with a professional contractor you can trust. That way, you know that each panel is installed correctly, and all external factors are taken into account. For example, you want to make sure that wainscoting is actually effective in protecting your wall against moisture and mildew. Then you won’t have to replace any of that broken or old tile that you’re sick of looking at.

More ideas for getting started with wainscoting can be found in our free eBook, Remodeling 101: A Free Homeowner’s Guide. In the book, you can get access to tips for designing the bathroom remodel you’ve always wanted.

French Country Style, A History

At one point in time, French Country was considered “old school”. And that is perhaps what gives it some of its timeless charm. This design trend started in the Provence countryside, with old French villas and chateaus made of stone. The inside furnishings were exactly what you’d imagine – distressed wood ceilings, brightly-colored decorations, and vibrant wall coatings. The perfect combination of rustic and modern created this sense of chic design that hadn’t been done anywhere else before.

The style actually dates back as far as the 1600s, during the reign of Louis XIV. When he renovated the Palace of Versailles, he made it one of the first large-scale buildings to boast the French Country style. At the time, this was considered the height of luxuriousness and wealth, making people across all nations jealous of the fabulous style.

Over the years, the style evolved into something that citizens in simple country homes could adopt. It soon became a symbol of the elegant and rustic French countryside. People wanted to imitate the style of richness and elegance brought on by the palaces in Paris, but put to practical and affordable use. That is where the modern Country French dining room style began. As a result, the world has adopted the style to reflect both elegance and frugality, with a warm blend of rustic nature that appeals to many modern homeowners.

Things That Set A Country French Dining Room Apart

There are a few key elements that make a Country French dining room unique. There are times where it may get mistaken for a similar style—French Rococo, for example—but understanding the features that make it special can help you distinguish it from the rest.

These include:

Natural colors. The French countryside inspires this design, so naturally, many colors reflect neutral browns, bright yellows, rusty reds, and soft whites. Sebring Tip: If your dining room is on the smaller side, opt for more brilliant colors. If your dining room is large, you can introduce darker earth tones.Natural materials. Surfaces and flooring should also be inspired by nature. Also, French Country dining rooms use plenty of light-colored wood and timbers for ceilings and floors. This style also makes use of stone.French Country dining room furniture is unique to its style. Moreover, the table and chairs can genuinely make or break the whole scene. Furniture made from reclaimed wood is a popular choice. Farmhouse-style is ideal for bringing your Country French dining room to life. Furniture should also be functional; for example, large cupboards or sideboards with storage space are worth considering.Soft patterns. French Country dining rooms are not shy of decoration or style. It’s common to find a space in this style with animal-print styles or floral decorations.

Many other elements make up a French Country style. From adding warm and gentle furnishings to filling the room with accessories, you can create a look that makes your dining room look “lived-in.” Natural light, earth tones, and rustic furniture are priorities to consider when transforming your living space.

Decorating Ideas For Country French Dining Rooms

The above elements can be expressed in many ways to create the traditional Country French dining room style. Take a look at the following images, each highlighting a different feature that makes this style so warm and familiar – without sacrificing its uniqueness.

Opposites Attract

Remember that the key to defining a French Country style is with the peaceful marriage of sophisticated and rustic. Combining these elements can be done the right way. Your French Country dining room table and chairs are simple, made of solid or reclaimed wood, in an authentic farmhouse style. This leaves the sophisticated elements to the decor. Add fanciness with the drape patterns, chair cushions, or kitchenware.

Lots Of Toile

Toile is known as a French cloth used for decorating. While it literally means “cloth” in French, it also describes a fabric typically in beige or white background and covered in a repeating pattern. The pattern can be in many shapes or styles but most often depicts nature scenes (trees, animals, or farmers). Having this kind of pattern for your French Country dining room furniture can add credit to its value.

Make A Lot Out Of Your Lighting

Keeping things simple at eye level is a good idea. That allows you to add more of a sophisticated twist to the upper levels of the dining room. A hanging, antique-style lantern in your dining room can completely set the mood of the whole room. Make it a truly eye-catching piece with bright colors and fancy framing. This will look especially good against the simplistic backdrop of exposed beam ceilings or reclaimed wood chairs.

CUSTOM

Thick Beams and Wooden Accents

Speaking of exposed beams, this is one of the most famous architectural elements of a French Country dining room. Using distressed wood for the ceiling beams can give your home an antique look, immediately adding to its value. This also adds a touch of charm to a room that instantly makes it more inviting. A style like this can be accented well with stone flag flooring. Your rustic French Country dining room sets are what blend everything together in this chic yet savvy look.

Add A Real Rustic Touch

It’s one thing to make some of the elements of your dining room look rustic, but it may be of use to incorporate actual antique pieces into your room. For example, antique farm tools, kitchen utensils, or silverware can look good displayed on the wall. Put a vintage vase out as the centerpiece on your French Country dining room table to show that you want nothing less than the real deal.

Use Ornate Colors

The French Country style is all about using natural colors…but it’s also about being elegant and inspiring a scene from French royalty. Use ornate colors like gold and silver – but especially gold – as an accent for some of the decorative items in your room. Gold drapes, gold drawer handles, or a duvet color made from gold fabric can make you feel Parisian and chic.

Use Motifs

Perhaps one of the most famous historical elements of the French Country style is its motifs on the window panels. Adding motifs to any wooden framing or molding is a creative way to turn something regular into something unique. Inspire fanciness with traditional French motifs on your windows. Your window treatments should be one of the more elaborate elements of your French Country dining room, as you want it to stand out.

Make A Statement With Old And New

Again, it’s important to incorporate both elaborate and simplistic pieces into your dining room. When you are finished with your design, it should look like you sourced your French Country dining room sets from an upscale antique store or a quality flea market shopping spree. The perfect combination of high-end and homemade, of ultra-modern and antique, of calm and noisy, is what gives this style its own definition.

SOFT WHITE

Don’t Let the Patterns Overwhelm

It’s all too easy to get carried away with the diverse and multi-colored fabric patterns that the French Country dining room furniture style typically has to offer. And while almost any fabric pattern choice will help improve the look of your dining room, it’s essential not to use it too much. Adding just a little bit of something fancy and colorful—like toile fabric upholstered on the chairs, for example—can go a long way. It shouldn’t be so much that it becomes the entire focal point of the room. Leave that to your excellent dining set or your natural exposed beams!

Add Lots of Artwork

If it’s one thing the French Country style loves to do, it’s decorating the walls. Harkening back to the times of Louis XIV and the Palace of Versailles, one way to express the status of wealth was by hanging plenty of artwork on the walls. You can even imitate the style of the olden days by framing your portraits and paintings in large, gold-gilded wooden frames. Not only does it enrich the room, but it also gives it dimension.

Don’t Forget the Little Details

You can make something fancy out of even the most ordinary things. Adding those little details to the room can really bring it to life, giving it a warm and familial characteristic. Rustic decor pieces like an old wine rack are a unique focal point and a convenient storage space for your everyday items. Keep the furniture vintage, but you can marry rusticism with modernity with colorful seat upholstery. Think about what kind of light you want hanging above the table or what your centerpiece will look like. Use these little things as opportunities to add the vintage and rustic touches without making the room lose its poise.

Dark and Light

Bright colors in small rooms and dark colors in big rooms go a long way. But no matter what size your dining room is, you can add something both bright and vibrant. Dark-colored flooring goes great with white walls, white ceiling lights, and white French Country dining room sets. And vice versa; dark chandeliers, rich wood-colored furniture, and light floors with light-colored beams atop can make the room stand out.

Keep Things Symmetrical

It’s okay for the French Country to look a little asymmetrical at times, as this is part of its charm. But in some cases, and especially for large dining rooms, it might be wise to be symmetrical. The best way to keep the room in balance is to keep some of the focal points lined up. This can mean lining up your lanterns directly over the table, securing your rug in the middle of the room, or ensuring that there are an equal amount of decorations on each side of the room. While it doesn’t need to look so straight to the point of being static (you still want the room to look lived-in!), it can keep the eyes from getting too overwhelmed when entering such a bright and dynamic room.

Consider French Country In Your Kitchen!

French Country is a timeless style that will never steer you wrong. If you are considering remodeling your dining room, you can learn more about how the French Country style can work with you. If you have a taste for the eclectic, and you want to invite some warmth and comfort to your home, this may be a good style to consider.

The dining room is a big part of the home remodeling process. If you are a homeowner who’s planning on a renovation project, make sure you are prepared before starting the next big task. You can design, build, and remodel your home in a design that will compliment your personal tastes and add overall value to your home.

43 Stunning Wine Cellar Design Ideas That You Can Use Today

October 4, 2021

A great wine cellar is all about creating a controlled environment. Whether it is located in a sprawling mansion or in a tiny apartment, design options are virtually limitless. However, if temperature and humidity are not controlled properly, your precious wine may not age in the right way.

Our wine cellar ideas roundup showcases some of the most creative designs. If you are thinking of setting up your own wine cellar at home, these design ideas and guidelines should provide some inspiration.

Once you make a decision to build a wine cellar at your home, your first consideration should be maintaining the right conditions all the time. How you do this will depend on the size of the wine cellar and where it is located. A large basement wine cellar will require considerably more work in climate conditioning compared to a small wine cellar. If you opt for a pre-made wine closet or cabinet; chances are that it comes with climate control mechanism already installed, relieving you of most of the burden.

Here are some of the climate control actions you need to take when building a wine cellar:

Full room insulation to keep temperatures at a steady range. Make sure the insulation is also a good vapor barrier.For large wine cellars, a wine cooling system may be necessary. This will also require an adequately sized exhaust room to absorb expelled heat.If the location of the wine cellar tends to get too dry, a humidifier will be required.

Once you have the climate control part figured out, you are ready to get started on your wine cellar. Our home wine cellar image round up is a good starting point to help you figure out the design that works best for your needs and budget.

Wine Cellar Climate Control

Climate control will make or break your wine cellar. Wine is a delicate thing. It tolerates temperature and humidity changes only within a narrow band. If it goes above or below, then the aging process is likely to go awry.

When it comes to temperature, 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius) is the accepted sweet spot. A range of 3-4 points above or below this temperature is acceptable. In chemistry, we learn that an increase in temperature increases the rate of reaction. If your wine cellar is too warm, your wine will age too quickly and produce other unwanted reactions. This will damage the quality and taste of the wine. On the other hand, if the conditions are too cool, chemical reactions slow down and your wine ages at a much slower pace.

There is also another aspect of temperature that can damage the wine and that is variability. Without proper climate control, temperatures in the wine cellar will keep swinging between cold and hot. In many cases, the cork sealing the wine is not 100% airtight. As it expands and contracts with temperature variations, oxygen finds its way inside the bottle. As any wine connoisseur knows, too much wine will damage wine flavors because of over-oxidation.

As for humidity, the slightly damp conditions of a basement are actually good. Slightly high humidity keeps the cork from drying out, which could compromise the quality of the seal. The ideal humidity level is 57%, with an ideal maximum of 70 percent and minimum of 50 percent. If it goes too high the biggest risk is the development of mold in the cork, which could damage the wine. Additionally, it can damage any labels on the wine bottle.

Proper Wine Storage Tips

No matter what wine storage design you choose, there are some essential basics to consider. Keep the following tips in mind to ensure your bottles are stored properly, which means more enjoyment when you finally pop the cork:

Keep the temperature stable. Wine doesn’t hold up well to major fluctuations in temperature. The longer you store your wine, the more stable the temperature its environment should be. So if you have a growing collection, and you’re waiting to open that bottle of Barbaresco until at least another five years have passed, then it’s best to choose a wine storage design that isn’t in a space that sees lots of changes in temperature (top of the fridge, we’re looking at you!). If you only keep enough bottles in the house for easy enjoyment, and drink your bottles within a few months after purchase, then temperature fluctuation is less of a concern.Keep the temperature cool. When possible, keep your wines stored somewhere within the cool range of 50°F to 59°F. This is often cited as the ideal temperature to store wine, though bottles can certainly withstand exposure to lower and higher temperatures. The essential idea is that heat accelerates the aging process, so as mentioned above, higher temperatures (though not exceeding 68°F) are less of a concern if you are simply buying wine to drink fairly quickly. A dedicated cool space is more important for long-term storage plans.Keep bottles away from intense light. Light, too, can play a big factor in the quality of wine. For wines that will be stored for more than a year, and for bottles of bubbly, it’s best to keep these away from direct, strong sources of light.Keep corks moist. When a bottle’s cork dries out, it shrinks and allows oxygen to creep inside. Oxygen is great for letting a wine breathe and develop its flavors, but a wine should be consumed shortly after exposure. Within a few days, oxygen turns even the sturdiest of wines into rancid vinegar. The easiest way to keep corks from drying out is to store bottles on their side.

WINE ENTHUSIAST

Smart Storage: Take Advantage of Unused Spaces

Utilize existing furniture for smart storage: add custom shelving in a kitchen island or a buffet side table. Even the smallest nooks, like spaces between the refrigerator and wall, can be turned into clever wine storage spots. Remember, however, that warmer areas like the kitchen are best for people who aren’t storing wine bottles for the long haul.

The colorful kitchen island pictured here includes an impressive wine rack, while there is still plenty of additional cabinet space for storing china, pantry items, and smaller appliances. A sink built into the island, with easy access to the wine collection, makes this kitchen is a great spot for making drinks and entertaining guests.

Diagonal planks make the most of storage space, and are frequently used in wine cabinet and rack designs. The rack here is flanked by clear fronted cabinets, and the wet bar is complete with sink and beverage cooler. This basement bar design truly stands out thanks to the bright, backlit subway tile.

This elegant design is takes advantage of vertical space, with limited room under a kitchen counter making way for a small collection of wine bottles stored on their side. The crisp white lines of the wine rack are the perfect complement to the marble kitchen countertop.

This kitchen island highlights another example of vertical storage design. Instead of dedicating the entire end space to cookbooks, the island has shelving on either side of the clear fronted cabinets. It simple yet smart design holds up to ten wine bottles.

This basement kitchenette has additional overhead shelving to accommodate a well stocked wine bar. This remodeled interior features a richly hued, traditional cabinet design that feels bright and open. There is also plenty of countertop space for another rack for more storage options.

Sleek Wine Cooler Designs

Wine coolers are a great idea for any true wine lover, keeping bottles at a set temperature to ensure they keep well over time. Some models are dual-zone, meaning that you can store both red and white wines at different temperatures. Consider adding a wine cooler to your kitchen island, wet bar, or even outdoor entertaining area.

This unique wine cooler design is perfectly suited alongside the main refrigerator. The matching stainless steel appliances are the perfect complement to the kitchen’s traditional wood cabinets.

LONDON FARMHOUSE

lhadeff Architects

This lovely wine cellar is located in a London farmhouse.

Location

The basement is one of the most common places to locate a wine cellar. It provides a large space to set up a decently sized wine cellar and is fairly easy to maintain in terms of temperature and humidity. Unlike other rooms in the house, the basement does not experience much variation in both temperature and humidity.

If you do not have a basement or it is being used for some other purpose, look for a corner of your house that is not in the direct line of sunlight or draft. One increasingly common and creative idea is to set up a mini-cellar under the stairs. Often enclosed by glass, under-the-stairs wine cellars can look quite dramatic especially when you plan the lighting properly. If you have a pantry with no windows, that would also make an ideal location for a wine cellar. If you have bar area, you can set up a small wine storage cabinet behind the bar.

Generally, the location depends on the size and design of your home. Wherever you decide to locate it, make sure you are able to control the conditions so as to maintain the integrity of the wine.

Storage

Once you have decided on location, you need to figure out what kind of storage you are going to use. Most people opt for wine racks. Wine racks come in a wide range of styles and some companies even offer custom made options.

Even in a small wine cellar, racks can take up surprisingly little space, allowing you to store a significant number of bottles in a limited area. Most wine racks are made from wood though you will come across other made from metal. Make sure you choose the right size. Some racks are small enough to be set down just about anywhere in the house. Others will take up an entire room. For really vast storage, such as one consisting of hundreds or thousands of bottles, consider getting custom wine racks that perfectly match your needs. One other thing to be careful about when buying wine racks is the size of the opening. Some bottles such as Magnum and champagne bottles require large openings.

If you need smaller wine storage, there are many options beyond a wine rack. You can have a wine refrigerator small enough for 50 bottles or a bigger one for a couple hundred bottles or more. Another option is a walk-in vault. These vaults are mini-cellars complete with built-in storage and climate control. Other storage options include wine cabinets and wine lockers.

Design and Lighting

Design is an essential part of wine cellars. After all, the collection is a point of great pride for its owner. The design needs to reflect that. When designing a wine cellar, consider working with a contractor to decide on these design elements.

Many wine enthusiasts opt for hardwood flooring to match the wooden wine racks on the walls. Others opt for stone flooring to contrast with the wood racks and create a vintage style. Glass is also a popular material especially for enclosing smaller under-the-stairs wine cellars.

One of the most important aspects of the design is the lighting. There are two things to consider when deciding what kind of lighting to install. One is of course the style. Do you want a warm darker feel or a brighter futuristic vibe? A good idea is to install lights that can change color to reflect the current mood. The second issue is heat. Halogen or incandescent bulbs should never be used because they emit too much heat, which is bad for the wine. LEDs are the best. You can choose from puck lights, strip LEDs or track lights depending on the style you are going for.

Try to highlight specific areas such as wine racks and any other interesting displays. You can also have an assortment of overhead lights providing general illumination.

Bonus Tips

Here are a few extra tips to keep in mind:

Select a strong door that is insulated to protect the wine cellar climate. If you want a glass door, make sure it has exterior-grade insulation and should be double-paned. Ideally, a wine cellar should not have windows. If they are present, they should be as properly insulated as the door.For flooring, most materials including wood, tile, vinyl and marble are acceptable. The only no-no is carpet. It will develop mold and mildew because of the high humidity levels.For a large wine cellar, consider adding a tasting center. This often consists of a table and chairs. Add more seating space if you plan on holding tasting events often.Don’t forget about security. Always keep the door to the wine cellar locked to prevent any unauthorized individual from going inside. For really big collections, install a monitoring alarm system as well as cameras.

Setting up a wine cellar is no easy task. There are so many components to work on including storage, climate control, design and security. But if you love your wine, there is no end to the enjoyment after the wine cellar is complete. It becomes a personal sanctuary where you can relax, be happy and admire your priceless collection.

For the man who is married or living with a partner, having the option to decorate your room may not always be the case. In any case, for men who are carrying on with the single life, one of the most significant rooms in the house is the bedroom. Thus, it should be stupendous.

Aside from the fact that we rely on the bedroom as a secluded sanctuary for relaxation, we also rely on its decor to assist us in other ways, like a cozy theater or a hangout after a romantic date.

Choosing Furniture For Men’s Bedroom Ideas

Besides the bed, furniture is a need for any bedroom. Obviously, the furniture expenses are cut if you have an existing built-in closet, but for many seasoned homes without walk-in closets, having chests, dressers, and cabinets is fundamental. As a base, you’ll need at least one huge dresser that can be utilized both for storage as well as a table for pictures or someplace to put your TV or stereo.

Also, it’s an insightful plan to have an end table on each side of the bed. Whether you don’t utilize them consistently, they help hold everything from a bedside valet to an alarm clock or table lamp.

In case your bedroom is massive enough, one thing worth considering is a tiny sitting area. For instance, this can be two seats by the window or a different living space with lounge chairs and an end table. In general, the room will consistently be your most unwinding and tranquil room in the house.

Moreover, having a region other than the bed to unwind in can be very quieting following a hard day at work. From sitting to watch TV to reading a novel or working, it’s one spot you won’t have guests in but will invest a lot of time without anyone around or with a special someone.

How To Mix Different Types Of Floors

When installing two distinct floors in adjoining rooms without a door in between, keep up with the direction the floor runs all through the two areas. However, in case a door isolates the two adjoining rooms, blend things up considerably more by altering the course the floor runs in.

When seen from the end, this molding makes a T shape, where the lower part spaces in the middle of two floors and the top part make a smooth change.

Firstly, be sure to remove the doors from the hinges and lay them level before beginning any of the painting projects, and you’ll see it a lot simpler to work that way.

On the other hand, in case that you’ve discovered a wallpaper that you adore but you prefer not to cover your full room walls with this, you can just drape the paper on your closet doors instead. Significantly, the wallpaper available today is a far cry from the hard to-hang, difficult-to-remove paper you may recall from your childhood. In addition, most wallpaper nowadays is self-adhesive and simple to strip in the event that you move or do not feel the design anymore.

Finally, you can provide your closet with a stylish flair with stencil art. In fact, you can go as straightforward or as intricate as you’d like—there are stencils accessible in each theme that you can imagine. Hence, spruce up a child’s bedroom with forest animals or sports pictures.

Specialty stores, paint stores, and online retailers all sell a noteworthy exhibit of stencils. Must be remembered: before you start, use graph paper to design your stenciled plan, testing until you have the most satisfying pattern.

Budget-Friendly: DIY Cheap Closet Door Ideas

Who said that closet doors need to be solid wood, or even be a door by any means? We are here to give you cheap closet door ideas! In particular, in case you need something delicate, textural, and as simple to change as your mood, you can try curtain closet door ideas. For example, try to hang the curtain rod inside the closet, up over the door so that from the exterior, the highest point of the curtain is covered up. Check out some of the best blackout curtains.

After that, you now have a closet door that needs no swing room to open. Now, you can simply slide the curtains to the side or part in the center in case you are utilizing two pieces.

Next, decoupage is an extraordinary method to utilize fabric scraps, gift wrap, scrapbooking paper, old maps, or some other lightweight, level material that can be pasted to your door. Interestingly, you can cover the whole door, make a highlight and encompass it with painted embellishment, decoupage only one door of a couple of sliders, or decoupage an open structure that lets the door’s unique surface show through.

Finally, designing your closet doors with wall decals is possibly the simplest method to give them a touch of color and style. Uniquely, this procedure is great in a kid’s room, where you’ll most likely need to change the design as your youngster gets more matured. Moreover, wall decals are self-adhesive and strip away effectively without leaving any imprints or buildup. Furthermore, they also come in almost boundless designs, sizes, and hues, so you can go as straightforward or as intricate as you’d like.

lternative Closet Door Ideas

Ultimately, a closet door’s principal intention is to hide clothes and mess from view. The most well-known kind of closet doors are bi-fold doors, wooden sliding doors, regular hinged doors, and mirror sliding doors. While those doors are sufficient, they are unwieldy for specific individuals. In case you are arranging a remodel or a room makeover, think about the alternative to traditional closet doors. Additionally, replacing conventional closet doors offer you a chance to boost living spaces and add a visual effect to your rooms.

First, we have French doors. French doors are lightweight interior doors that you can buy in pairs. The doors come with glass boards along the length. They swing out simply like customary doors. Unlike bi-fold doors, French doors do not need sliding tracks. Ideally, you can utilize different sets of French doors for closets with large openings. Furthermore, French doors with frosted glass or mirror panels add light and receptiveness to small living areas—best for small closet door ideas.

Similarly, appealing room dividers or shoji screens are perfect for home office closets. Convenient dividers come in lightweight materials like wood, bamboo, paper, or fabric. First, remove closet doors totally and place a shoji screen to hide the opening. Any lighting inside the closet will quickly become mood lighting through the screen.

Swinging doors are otherwise called saloon doors or cafe doors. They swing two ways—inward and outward. Also, you can get these doors in pairs. Indeed, cafe doors make a decent choice to closet doors in case you want a feeling of openness in your room design. Thus, this kind of door is perfect between your room and walk-in closet.

8 Places You Might Have Missed Out During the Renovation of Your 1st Property

October 1, 2021

Don’t forget to spend some time planning for these places, when you embark on your dream abode renovation journey!

#1. Location of the mobile device charging station

Image from Define bottle

Charging your mobile devices can be a rather chaotic affair, with messy charging cords running all over the table. In addition, the multiple devices for the entire family will take up precious space and clutter the table while they are being charged.

What this means to you

Settingupa simple charging station will eliminate such unsightly scattered, mismatched tangled cords and utilise the space more effectively. Although there are many simple DIY tutorials for you to setup a homemade charging station to keep battery life high, fabricating a customised charging station will be a better solution if you want it to blend into the rest of the home interior design.

#2. Location of the smart vacuum robot docking station

Smart robot vacuum robots have become ubiquitous cleaning partners in modern homes. This is because having an intelligent machine like this means one less household chore for you to worry about. Some models can be controlled through the Smart Home Assistant; Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant. Others can even double up as mobile home security cameras. Unfortunately, most homeowners decide on the placement of the docking station as an afterthought, and this often results in a suboptimal location of the vacuum robot.

What this means to you

The best placement for the vacuum robot docking station is at one corner of the room, where it uses the base to triangulate its relative position, to calculate its starting and ending cleaning routine. In addition, make sure that there is an electrical socket next to the docking station, so that the wire does not sprawl over the floor. Furthermore, there must be plenty of room for the vacuum robot to manoeuvre, while it lines up with the base when it re-docks to recharge. Lastly, set aside at least 1.5 to 3 feet of clearance space on either side of the docking station. If you want to hide the docking station beneath a customized cabinet, make sure that there is enough vertical clearance too.

#3. Placement of the mesh Wi-fi system

Image from Drumitloud.com

Wi-fi routers are now a part and parcel of most households. However, most homeowners experience poor Wi-fi signals when they decide the locations of their wi-fi routers as an afterthought, since most will resort to chunking the messy-looking Wi-fi router at a convenient dark hidden nook. A mesh Wi-fi system consists of the main router, that connects directly to your modem and links up with a series of satellite nodes, which are distributed throughout the house. Nevertheless a mesh Wi-fi system offers a significantly better coverage over the traditional Wi-fi router and eliminates dead zones, and is a better option than a traditional Wi-fi router.

What this means to you

The optimal location of the mesh Wi-fi system is more tricky, since its nodes are to be placed throughout the house for optimal Wi-fi coverage. The main router node should be setup centrally away from the walls, in close physical proximity to the cable modem or an existing router, preferably next to an electrical socket. Since the setup of these IT equipment might clash with the aesthetic design, they are usually hidden inside a customized cabinet or on the topmost shelf, to maximize coverage. The satellite nodes should also be placed out in the open, away from the concrete walls, big metal obstacles such as a refrigerator or steel cabinets.

#4. Approval for a kitchen exhaust duct

The kitchen hood’s main function is to keep the cooking fumes away from the kitchen so that it is clean and odour-free. The kitchen hood comes in a wide variety of styles and there are 2 types of kitchen hoods; ductless (or recirculating) kitchen hoods and ducted (or ventilating) hoods. Traditionally, only ductless models are allowed in HDB apartments since the unfiltered fumes will affect the neighbouring units.

What this means to you

Since ductless kitchen hood recirculates air instead of venting the warm and stale outside of the kitchen, the kitchen will become hot and humid over time. In addition, the ductless hood is nosier since more fan power is required to suck in and recirculate the warm air. Hence, you may want to consider seeking HDB’s approval, to install the specially designed ducting system for your kitchen hood system, to keep your kitchen cooler and cleaner.

#5. Installation of a dishwasher

Design: Ovon Design

Dishwashers have gained much popularity over the years because contrary to popular beliefs, dishwashers are not electricity and water wasting machines. In fact, dishwashers have proven to be energy efficient, game-changer appliances for time-strapped homeowners. Furthermore, due to technological advancements, dishwashers have become more compact and affordable too.

What this means to you

Ideally the dishwasher should be located somewhere where there are minimal plumbing works, for an easier and cheaper renovation. In addition, the dishwasher should be located near the sink, where it is easy for you to load the soiled dishes into the dishwasher drawers after a quick rinse. Due to human ergonomics considerations, it is easier for you to load the dishes into the dishwasher, which is installed to the left of the sink if you are right-handed and vice versa. The placement of the dishwasher also affects where your cutlery drawers or crockery cabinets are located, since they should be near or next to your dishwasher to make it easier for you to offload the clean cutlery or crockery after they have dried.

#6. Setting aside space for an automated laundry rack

Singapore’s tropical humid climate poses a great challenge for homeowners, especially if they rely on the laundry racks during the monsoon months. Thanks to the technology advancements, aside from the dryers, fully automated laundry racks also allow your laundry to be dried safely indoors. The automated models are getting more sophisticated, and can be controlled with smartphone apps. Some even come equipped with solar tubes (to simulate the sunlight), air circulators (to mimic the wind) to shorten the drying duration, and disinfects the clothes with a combination of heaters and ionisers.

What this means to you

The size and orientation of the automated laundry rack might affect the placement of the washing machine, wall mounted cabinets (if you are looking to optimize the space vertically) and the location of the service yard light. To choose the most suitable automated laundry rack for the service yard, the size matters since certain brands and models might be more suitable for a smaller, compact service yard. Unless you are living in a loft apartment, most brands are suitable for ceiling height of around 2.6m – 3m.

#7. Having a steam closet system

In recent years, big electronic brands such as LG and Samsung have come up with a steam closet system, designed to be installed in the space-challenged laundry room. It is extremely useful if you are looking to effortlessly refresh your clothes such as jackets, suits and jeans in between weekly washes, by minimizing wrinkles and deodorize with hot steam. In addition, it is useful for steam-refreshing and sanitizing other household items by removing allergens such as pollen, bacteria, dust and dander from the beddings, and plush soft toys!

What this means to you

The steam closet offerings from LG and Samsung are freestanding models and does not require a separate water pipeline or plumbing for its water reservoir. This means that you have a flexible option of placing the steam closet at the service yard or even in your bedroom, just next to your wardrobe! Just make sure that an electrical socket is installed next to the steam closet system.

#8. Approval for installation of an air ventilation system

Design: DISTINCTidENTITY

Poorly ventilated bathrooms are vulnerable to mould and mildew and they cause the walls and floor to be stained. Hence, exhausting moist, warm air, which is created during showers will help to keep out the humidity at bay. In addition, air ventilators help to remove nasty odours from a bathroom more easily.

What this means to you

There are mainly 2 types of exhaust fans: ceiling mounted and window mounted. The ceiling mounted air ventilators have to be installed with a false ceiling and the window mounted air ventilators will require some modifications to the bathroom window. As the window might need to cut a hole for the air ventilator to be installed, or the louvered window panes have to be changed to a top-hung casement window, this might require approval from the HDB authorities.
