How to Incorporate Dark Features in Your Kitchen

April 7, 2021 by WL Construction

Black is quickly turning into the new white for kitchens. Although it may seem too dark for your room, black goes with virtually everything and is a great color to incorporate throughout your home. No matter the style of your kitchen, black features can easily be incorporated.

Whether you’re looking to add a statement feature, or you wish to incorporate small black details to your home, here are some ideas for incorporating this gorgeous, deep color into your kitchen:

Black Floors Paired with Warm Toned Walls

If you’re looking to turn your kitchen into a cozy area of your home, consider staining your floors black. Dark floors paired with white cabinetry and a warmer painted wall can make your kitchen feel taller and cozier. Encourage natural lighting to shine through your kitchen windows by adding bright window shades too!

Add Black Appliances to Make a Statements

Black appliances stand out in the kitchen like no other. They look sleek, clean, and pair well with many colors. If you want your kitchen to catch your guests’ attention, consider pairing your shiny black appliances with pale painted kitchen color and brass hardware.

Colors like white, pale aqua, green, and grey are great examples of colors that pair well with black appliances.

Mix Black and Copper

If you’d consider your aesthetic to be more colonial inspired, consider adding hints of copper to your black cabinetry to complete your aesthetic. Copper also pairs well with stainless steel appliances and, when used together, creates a gorgeous kitchen design.

Start Small

Black is a powerful color. If you love the idea of incorporating dark features into your kitchen, but you’re not ready to fully commit to changing the color of your kitchen, start small by incorporating a few statement pieces. Installing a sleek black sink on top of your white marble countertops is a great place to start! As darker kitchens start becoming more popular, you can find nearly any kitchen appliance in black, so there is plenty of ways that you can experiment.

Black Lower Cabinets Paired with White Tiled Floors

Glossy white tiled floors pair perfectly with black cabinets. To help open your kitchen, consider installing lower cabinets and use open shelves above your countertops for extra storage. Having a high-gloss finish on your cabinets and floors will also help maximize the light in your space.

4 Features to Add to Your New Home Build

January 27, 2021 by WL Construction

There’s a lot to think about when you start the beginning steps of building a new home. However, one of the best parts about building a new home is that you can customize it however you’d like. When designing your dream house, you can use your creativity to add some cool features to your home.

Here are some construction ideas that you can add to your new build:

Add Built-In Shelving

You can never go wrong with adding shelving to your home. There’s no better time to add extra storage to your home than during a custom build. Consider installing built-in shelves for a sleek and spacious way to organize and decorate your room.

Install Higher Ceilings

If you’re looking for a way to open up your home, consider installing higher ceilings. High ceilings also give your home a more luxurious feel and appearance. If you enjoy decorating with wall art, having high ceilings will help make those finishing touches stand out and look more dramatic.

Add a Mudroom

As you’re designing your new home, consider everything that you might want/needs. Many new home builders love installing mudrooms in their new homes, so they have a place to store coats and muddy shoes without having to trudge through the main parts of your home. Luckily, if you’re on a tighter budget, mudrooms don’t need to be that big. Even just a small, closet-sized space can make a world of difference.

Create an Upstairs Laundry Room

When you’re building your new home, keep convenience in mind. You frequently use your laundry room, so it makes sense to consider building one on the second floor of your home. Having the convenience of a laundry room on the second floor will save you fewer trips lugging baskets up and down the stairs.

Building Your New Custom Home

Do you have a vision of what your dream home looks like? Well, what are you waiting for? Contact the professionals at W.L. Construction to make your dreams come true.

What Are the Top Renovation Trends for 2021?

December 30, 2020 by WL Construction

There is no better time to change up your home than the start of a new year! As we get closer to the new year, it’s time to start thinking about the latest home renovation trends for 2021.

Check out a few of the predicted 2021 renovation trends:

Multi-Zone Kitchens

Your kitchen can become quite chaotic when too many people are in there. Your kitchen, however, should have the opposite effect. It should be a place where you can relax, unwind, and spend time creating and experimenting with different dishes. That’s why multi-zone kitchens are becoming more and more popular.

Multi-zone kitchens have two access points, so no one gets trapped in or blocked from entering the kitchen. There might even be dedicated areas for baking, prepping, and separate stations for those to eat in this kitchen layout.

Light Woods

One of the biggest remodeling trends for the new year will be incorporating light woods throughout the home. It will be common to find light woods used on your walls, ceilings, and floors. Because shades of navy blue are predicted to be a popular color scheme among households in the new year, adding light wood accents will help create an elegant and contemporary look.

Stylish Home Offices and Nooks

This year, many of us had to make a quick adjustment to start working from home. And because there are still plenty of people working and participating in virtual learning, family members of all ages would benefit from having a productive workspace in the home. If you haven’t dedicated a place to work within your home, it’s time to do so!

Two-Toned Cabinets

For years, following a monochromatic color scheme has been the trend, but this year, you’ll have more room to experiment. Two-toned cabinets are predicted to become popular in 2021.

Homeowners can try out this trend by painting cabinets installed in one area different colors. For example, you can paint the overhead cabinets one color and your sink base cabinets another. This trend will be popular among household kitchens and bathrooms!
