Here Are 10 Ways to Give Any Home a Custom Look

Most of us want to make our homes more admirable and customized this year. When you think about home renovation shortly, here are ten ways to do that: From changing your doorknobs to repainting walls, there is plenty you can do.

Custom Built-Ins

A trim carpenter with experience in custom home building can build bookshelves, TV cabinets, desks, and a butler’s pantry that perfectly fit your space. The most common spaces where homeowners often opt for this bespoke piece are their Living Room, Study, or Game Room.

Modified Staircase

A staircase is often found in a home and can be updated to make it look more luxurious. If you are looking for new, builder-standard stairs but want something a little different, consider updating your stairwell with new railing, trim, tiles on the risers, or a runner of unique design. Why not install some trim detailing around your stair hall for an even more dramatic change?

Trim and Shine

A complete update of your trim details will make it seem like you had a designer build the house. It is often cheaper to replace door and window trim or baseboard than to buy new pieces that match your bedroom furniture or other areas where there might be an expensive embellishment.

Interior Doors With a Solid Core

When replacing hollow core doors with solid core doors, you can customize them to match your updated style. They are higher quality and weightier- giving a better feel when opening and closing the door!

Wall Detailing

When we want to customize our homes, sometimes all it takes is changing the color of a wall or adding some custom paneling. Infusing your taste and desired aesthetic into your home can give it a unique look and feel! The next time you’re thinking about renovating, think about using fresh wallpaper or paint colors that are unique to inject your personality into the design of the walls. Say goodbye to boring white walls!

Ceiling Detailing

Ceilings can be detailed, too. Ceiling detailing is also a great way to make your home feel like yours and not some knock-off of the Joneses next door. The good news is that this doesn’t have to be an expensive or time-consuming undertaking. It’s just about adding solid or boxed beams, tongue & groove paneling (or any other unique ceiling detail you can think up) with paint that complements the walls in critical spaces so there are no glaring mismatches in design.

Modernized Bathrooms

Let’s be honest. This is not an easy or inexpensive update to make if your bathroom already functions well. But, it can be worth the investment! If you have a layout that works for you in your bathrooms, focus on updating finishes (lighting, cabinetry/storage, and countertops) with new options that won’t break the bank but still look great! Before making this kind of time-and-money consuming change to all of your bathrooms, though, find one new design option in each bathroom before investing anything at all.

Floor Inlays

The inlay is a design feature that typically isn’t done alone, but it’s added to flooring renovations. This helps define the space or transition from one area of your home to another. Putting this type of detail into a foyer or hallway can also add more interest and creativity to simple designs.

Revamp your Lighting

Beyond the regular mix of recessed cans and basic hanging fixtures, there are so many considerations to think about lighting for your home’s renovation. Lighting is often overlooked when adding production or semi-custom homes. When thinking about your specific preferences, you should start with whether you prefer warmer or cooler light; overhead lights (recessed cans) vs. indirect lamps (lamp lighting, directional wall lighting)? With pendants, chandeliers, and sconces as other options? Art wall lights can also create a truly custom plan specifically tailored for your needs!

Contemporized Kitchens

One of the top prerogatives when updating your home is to renovate your kitchen! This will enhance the look and feel of our home as a whole, but it’ll also make sure that you’re able to cook efficiently. Make sure that both form and function are addressed in this space- if they don’t work well together. We have an issue. A great way to ensure cohesive style is by choosing items with sleek lines or patterns on them – those two elements go exceptionally well together.

Have fun renovating! In this article, we hope to get your creative juices flowing! As you embark on a home renovation journey, some strategic choices can help elevate your home and achieve a truly custom look.
