1. Paint – Your new best friend:  A new coat of paint is one of the most drastic ways to refresh your home’s look.  Use colors that are stylish and work well with others to create a color scheme that appeals to the eye.








 

 

Pastels were last popular in interior design during the early 1990s, but over the following 20 years we watched them practically disappear from the color palette, as first neutral tones, and then bright and bold colors, permeated our homes. Suddenly pastels are back with a vengeance, and homeowners are wondering how to integrate these soft, calming colors into their boldly decorated spaces around the home.

Pastel chairs and accent pillows add subtle color to a neutral space. Living room by Case Design/Remodeling.

Interior decorating for spring is the perfect time to introduce pastels. Although trends in interior color schemes don’t always change with the seasons, interior color trends are much like seasonal changes that take place over longer periods of time. Consider the four seasons and the colors we typically associate with them:

•  Spring – pastels and whites
• Summer – bright, bold colors
• Fall – earth tones and neutral colors
• Winter – dark colors, grays, and black

Interior color palettes are once again entering their spring, and this means a turn toward pastels in the home.  

 Pastel finishes add color that keeps a room light and bright. Bathroom by Case Design/Remodeling.

Although pastels are contrary to the color schemes of yesterday, they have a lot to offer our homes if we’re willing to make room for them. Pastels have a soft spot on the color spectrum, giving them the ability to cushion a space by making it more welcoming, calming, and peaceful. In today’s fast-paced world, the home has become a place of order and retreat, and pastels offer a way to counter the busy world outside our living spaces. How to decorate for spring with pastels. How can we incorporate pastels into our home décor for spring, without doing a major remodel? Many people shy away from pastels because they run the risk of turning a home into a permanent Easter basket. In overabundance, pastels can quickly turn a space from serene to saccharine, but pairing a few new pastels with your existing color scheme can give a room a fresh look for spring without going overboard.  

Choosing a pastel finish for one major item in an otherwise neutral space brings color into the room without dominating the scene. Living room by Case Design/Remodeling.

If you’re into seasonal redecorating, consider a renovation that brings your space’s base colors and finishes back to neutral, and then plan to switch out some of the less permanent items seasonally—including accent pillows, blankets, artwork, smaller furniture, and décor—in order to maintain a fresh look that reflects changes in the natural world. Pastels are the perfect decorations for spring. Springtime is all about warming up for the year, and when it comes to pastels, even the colors on the cool end of the spectrum can be warming.

The blues are equally as warming as the yellows in this living room, while the accents in the painting and area rug help keep the space bright.

Pastels are naturally calming. Instead of screaming for attention like many brighter colors can, pastels take a more subtle approach with tones that can be relaxing instead of overpowering. Inducing calmness and sleep may be the very reason pastels seem to dominate many nurseries.

This baby blue bathtub and hexagon tile mosaic floor against the mint green return wall invite bathers to stay for awhile by contributing toward a relaxing atmosphere.

Integrate pastels through décor. If large surfaces covered in pastel finishes will never be your thing, try adding a splash of soft color here and there with some pastel-colored accent pieces instead.

The accents in this room provide plenty of color while still keeping the room relatively neutral. When the owners of this space are ready for a new look, removing the accents will leave a completely neutral palette for a fresh look, despite the baby blue walls.

Pair softer pastels with brighter shades. Pastels are created by adding white to a bolder color, so try integrating some tones that aren’t as “pastel” as others, to keep the edge on those softer colors.

Pastel pink can be a tough color to crack, but this space uses it well as the calming backdrop for some hot pink accents.

Use varying shades of the same pastel. Many spaces that successfully use pastels avoid the Easter basket look by sticking to just one or two pastels and using multiple shades of those colors.

 Light mint walls, the sage backsplash, and a spring green kitchen island work together to create a room that isn’t overtly green or pastel, even though the room’s finishes have a lot of both elements.

Pastels help warm up a cold or colorless space. Pastels represent the lighter side of darker colors. Even gray in a pastel shade can bring a warming quality to a space.

At a glance this room is really colorful, but take away the accent pillows, blanket, and bright painting and you have a very neutral, basic color scheme and framework for the space, making it extremely adaptable and easy to change up.

Pastels provide something different. Pastels offer something that has been missing from other color trends: not too bright, too bold, or too cold, pastels light up a room while allowing us to relax and unwind at the same time.  

Mint walls and pastel pink accent pillows are all this space needs to take it from stark white to bright and colorful. Attic conversion by Case Design/Remodeling.

As spring symbolizes new beginnings and a fresh start, there’s no better time to clean, organize, and redecorate the home. Maybe it’s because it’s warm enough to open windows again, or perhaps it’s the days becoming longer than the nights, but spring is a good time for change.

Remodel by Case Design

Redecorating gives households a chance to make a big change without undergoing a major remodeling or home improvement project. Sometimes a new look is all it takes to create a new room, and it can often be done without changing any major elements of infrastructure or design. The family room is a good place to start. A family room is constantly changing, just like the seasons. It’s a room that welcomes new family members, visitors, and friends, while adapting to the tastes, habits, and needs of a constantly changing household. Sometimes a little bit of redecorating can push a much-needed change in the right direction and help keep the space in harmony with its users.

Consider these spring decorating ideas and tips for a fun and functional family room redecorating project in the upcoming months.

Spring decorating ideas for the family room.

You can improve the look, feel, and function of a family room simply by redecorating. A variety of activities take place in a family room, involving family and friends of all ages, and part of the trick is building a room where these dissimilar events can coexist in harmony.

Rearrange the furniture. Sometimes that’s all it takes to make a room come alive again. Try drawing plans of the room with different furniture arrangements to see how a new layout could improve function. There are also several smart phone apps that do the same job. Change accent elements. Rearranging or replacing some of the minor elements of family room décor can make a big impact. You don’t have to replace your sofa or other furniture to create a new look. Instead turn to more easily expendable features such as window treatments, accent pillows, area rugs, and accent décor.

Display photos and artwork. What better place for a family photo wall than the family room? Children’s artwork can also be the perfect wall art for the family room, whether you tack up projects as they come home or frame your favorites for a gallery-style approach.

Add an entertainment center. An entertainment center can be one of the most important family room features in a home with electronics extending beyond a television. Whether you purchase an organizational unit, install shelving, or simply combine several pieces of existing furniture to fit your needs, an entertainment storage solution can be a major step toward family room organization.

Build an art wall. If you have the room and you don’t mind repainting on a regular basis, consider an art wall for your kids or grandkids. Provide them with art supplies and a wall as their canvas and see what kind of wall art they produce for the family room. An un-textured surface can be painted with chalkboard paint for a less permanent approach.

Create kid-friendly storage. It can be as simple as a toy box or as extensive as custom-built, personalized cubbies, but giving kids a place to put their stuff makes them more likely to pick it up and will help them keep better track of toys too.

Improve natural lighting. Daylight can improve the mood of a room dramatically and can even encourage us to trade TV for the outdoors on a sunny day. Try trading out darker window treatments for lighter, more opaque choices, and moving pieces of furniture and other obstacles that may be preventing sunlight from permeating the room.

Spring decorating tips for the family room.

Choose neutral designs. Family rooms are used by adults and children of all ages. You can keep the room universal for a variety of users by choosing neutral colors, patterns, and styles.

Use chemical-free products. When children and pets are around it’s even more important to use products that reduce or eliminate lingering toxins. Low-VOC paints are much safer during application and over the long term. Flor carpet tiles are a versatile product made from chemical-free recycled materials that can be installed as an area rug or wall-to-wall carpet.

Minimize décor. Family rooms become cluttered quickly enough as it is. Let the range of items stored in a family room become the décor rather than over-decorating the space.

Transition to summer. How can your family room decorating project help your household transition to the summer months? It can be an opportunity to switch out differently styled items seasonally for a fresh look. Try exchanging insulating window treatments in winter and opaque curtains in summer, for example, or bringing out different colored accent pillows and décor to match the seasons. In spring, try to go for pastels and neutral color combinations such as yellow, green, and blue.

Which types of investments will you make in your home this year? Home upgrades include projects ranging from easy, energy-saving solutions you can do yourself over the weekend to major renovation projects like a full kitchen remodel. The objective of a home upgrade project may be to improve your long-term living expenses, increase comfort, or make your home more salable. Many home improvements are done for all of these reasons, but comfort and cost effectiveness are currently at the top of the list for our clients as more of them prepare to stay in their homes long term. A major kitchen remodel upgrades appliances and materials and adds features such as a kitchen island and additional storage. It also adds increased comfort and value to your home. Kitchen by Case Design and Remodeling of San Jose. Even if you never plan to sell your house, home upgrade projects should always be planned around a budget and design that adds value to your home. Increasing your home’s value through remodeling adds equity that can be used to make future repairs and improvements to your biggest asset. Home upgrades that add value also tend to be the ones that increase our comfort and functional living space the most: attic conversions, kitchen remodels, and deck additions were at the top of the list in 2012, followed by family room additions, bathroom remodels, and basement conversions. And window and siding replacement remain popular and important home maintenance projects because they do so much to increase comfort, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. A basement renovation like this Case Design remodel can double a home’s functional living space and transform the entire home’s use. This remodel upgraded the basement family room and added a full bar that doubles as a second kitchen where the homeowners can cook and entertain without trips up and down the stairs. Even new homes, whether they’re new construction or just new to your family, can require some immediate improvements. New home upgrades often mean custom modifications that help tailor a space to your family’s needs, including projects such as converting full rooms into usable spaces, custom shelving and organization, aging in place modifications, and child-friendly improvements.

Home upgrades that add value.

Every home upgrade should add multiple levels of value to your home. A well-planned home improvement will solve your specific design dilemmas to increase your own ease of living while making the space more universal for a range of future users. Just as empty nesters begin remodeling their spaces into the home of their dreams, it’s time to baby-proof the house again for the grandkids, so universal design has a lot going for it these days. When it comes to adding monetary value to your home through a remodel, attic bedroom additions, minor kitchen remodels, and outdoor deck additions were the projects that added the most value to homes in 2012, with all three projects providing a return on investment (ROI) over 70%. An attic conversion is often the most affordable way to add both a bedroom and a bathroom to your home within the existing footprint. As one of the most efficient ways to transform unused space in your home, attics make great bedrooms, offices, libraries, and family rooms. Many of them add architectural value to your home as well, like this attic bedroom by Workshop/apd. Kitchen by Case Design. A minor kitchen remodel can make your home look more appealing to buyers, or it can address functional issues over aesthetic ones if you plan to stay. A minor kitchen upgrade usually focuses on one or two areas such as replacing appliances, increasing storage and countertop space, or making energy-related upgrades. Adding a kitchen island is a home upgrade that can create a lot of value in the home’s most frequently-used room, by adding storage, counter space, and the possibility of additional features such as bar seating and an improved kitchen work triangle. Composite deck addition by Case Design and Remodeling Indy. A deck addition is considered a lower-cost home upgrade with a high ROI that makes a home’s exterior more appealing and also adds a lot of value in the home comfort arena. A deck or patio that includes high-end features such as an outdoor kitchen can be a lot more costly, but the return on investment for homeowners that stay put can be limitless.

Home upgrades that increase function.

More people are moving toward urban centers, living in smaller spaces, and choosing to stay in the same home long term. It’s imperative for many households to maximize their amount of useable living space in order to maintain comfort as families grow and change. Basement renovations, family room additions, and bathroom remodels are all remodeling projects that increase usable living space, and all three had an ROI over 60% in 2012. This basement remodel by Peregrine Design Build combines a family room, children’s playroom, storage and organization, and a backyard entrance. The custom shelving keeps the room open and full of sunlight.

Aging-in-place and universal design.

These two design concepts make homes more user-friendly for long-term use and more appealing to a variety of users. Open floor plans, continuous spaces, and addressing safety issues are the hallmarks of universal design ideas that inherently include aging-in-place concepts as well. Aging-in-place modifications are usually made to increase the safety and comfort of aging homeowners who want to stay in their homes, while universal design concepts are attractive to multi-generational users and make homes more salable by pleasing a wider range of people and their needs. A no-threshold shower entrance is safer and more manageable for users with limited mobility. This design by ID by Gwen uses extra shower space and the open design to fit a separate soaking tub inside a smaller bathroom, making it useful for users of all ages. An open floor plan limits narrow halls and entryways and the number of mobility-decreasing obstacles a person may encounter in the home. Image courtesy of Monarch Renovations.

Easy home upgrades.

You don’t have to do a home remodel to make your home more useful, valuable, or beautiful. Many homeowners are beginning with small, energy efficiency-based upgrades that help save money and reduce your home’s carbon footprint. Lower bills are attractive to buyers and the extra savings can be recycled into additional home improvement projects. Low-flow fixtures in the bath and kitchen save tons of water without decreasing water pressure. Kitchen remodel by Case Design. Insulating Roman shades decrease energy costs and add texture and a beautiful accent to a space. Bathroom remodel by Case Design and Remodeling Indy.

Home libraries can conjure up images of dark rooms with vaulted ceilings, haunted mansions, or perhaps a friendly game of Clue. Not every home has the space to devote an entire room or even an entire wall to a home library, but more architects and designers are finding innovative ways to integrate a library space into the home elsewhere. Even with a growing number of people trading in their paperbacks for tablets, many homeowners continue to build traditional book collections. Many households have an anthology of heirloom family books, and some publications are simply better enjoyed in print. A book display is an opportunity to create aesthetic organization and storage while personalizing your home through design elements. Regardless of your home’s size, seek out that underused space that inspires creative ways to build a custom home library. You’ll be surprised at the library designs you come up with. Try using these innovative home library ideas to help you get started. Vaulted ceilings can waste a lot of space inside a home. This living room library makes use of some of that space while maintaining the open feeling of the room, by taking the bookshelves all the way to the ceiling. Image courtesy of Mark Dodge Design. This similar home library design integrated the library into the great room. Custom shelf lighting brings attention to accent décor and makes the library wall less overwhelming.

The fireplace is just one of many places around the home that we like to decorate during the holiday season. A living room mantel is often the centerpiece of the home, where a warm fire naturally creates a cozy gathering place for family members to come together and celebrate. With the tree nearby and the stockings already hanging from the mantel, a decorative fireplace becomes the perfect setting to spread some holiday cheer and creativity. This Case Design fireplace surround becomes the perfect palette for a holiday display at the heart of the home. Live tree trimmings, holiday ornaments, candles, seasonal family heirlooms, and holiday cards are at the top of the list of items found in a decorative fireplace display. If your home has an open fireplace, a fireplace insert, or a mantel, you can create your own unique holiday fireplace, or a holiday display anywhere in your home, using some of these ideas for inspiration. This simple display by Mustard Seed Interiors is wonderfully attractive, and it’s made from a mix of unique personal items and common seasonal décor that can be purchased just about anywhere this time of year. A salvaged wooden window cover becomes the backdrop for entire display, which incorporates an antique doll buggy and decorative wooden candlesticks. While there several pros and cons of using live tree trimmings in a holiday display, one advantage of the faux stuff is that it can be reused year after year. In fact, this entire display is easy to pack away for the year, to be recreated next December. This holiday fireplace display by Restyled Home celebrates the cool tones of winter and proves that a holiday display doesn’t need to scream red and green. The design is planned around the room’s current color scheme rather than traditional holiday colors. This simple, symmetrical design didn’t take a lot of décor or money to create. Designer Stephanie Woody’s idea for decorating fireplace mantels is wide open for adaptation to different spaces and attitudes. The burlap bows can be fashioned from fabric scraps or any number of other items you may already have. The holiday balls come in many colors. And there are endless options for words, quotes, or other items to clip to the display. The mantel is mostly clear and ready for holiday cards, artwork, and other items as they arrive. Jeanette Lunde’s decorative fireplace proves that a wintertime display can be simple and refreshing enough to enjoy throughout the year. Even when combined with the Charlie Brown Christmas tree around the corner, the room still doesn’t put a ton of emphasis on the holidays. This colorful display by It’s the Little Things… integrates many of the items available locally during the harvest season and reminds us that seasonal mantel décor can be a cheerful addition to the home any time of year. This same mantel by It’s the Little Things… is redecorated for the Christmas season, showing us that it can be easy to switch out seasonal decorative fireplace displays. The brush hung from the mantel is the only item that’s recycled from the previous display, providing the perfect spot to hang holiday globes. Live cedar tree clippings create a beautiful centerpiece and bring nature’s seasonal scents indoors. The décor on this mantel matches the other holiday displays in the room as well as the space’s usual furnishings and color scheme, simply by sticking to classic gold, silver, and white. Like many of the decorative fireplaces in our examples, this one shows that a simple display can be beautiful and classy. Image courtesy of Jill Asher.

A banquette is simply an upholstered bench, but in the kitchen it becomes a whole lot more. Banquettes are often found in kitchens and other rooms as comfortable window seats. You may find one tucked inside the awkward space under a stairwell. In living rooms they can provide extra seating for guests along an underused wall.

In the kitchen, banquettes provide comfortable bench-style seating and can lend an element of style to the room. And for practical purposes, a modern kitchen banquette isn’t always upholstered either. As you’ll see in some of our examples, the style, shape, and optional upholstery of a kitchen banquette design can take the entire room in a new direction.

The banquette in this Case Design/Remodeling kitchen clears up space in the center of the room by moving the dining table into the corner. While chairs are awkward when placed up against the wall, a built-in bench becomes the perfect solution.

More often than not, a kitchen banquette is located beneath a set of windows because it makes good use of the space. A wall with windows doesn’t fit as much cabinetry and windows provide a nice view at mealtime.

In this kitchen a traditional table and chairs could have been placed in the same nook, but a built-in banquette fits the space so much better. Image courtesy of Kipnis Architecture and Planning
http://www.houzz.com/photos/29500/Breakfast-Nook-traditional-kitchen-chicago.

In the kitchen, a banquette is also called a breakfast nook, booth, storage bench, or window seat. This U-shaped booth design by Arkin Tilt Architects http://www.houzz.com/photos/727142/Urban-Farmhouse-Kitchen-eclectic-kitchen-san-francisco is the ultimate dining nook with its combination of hidden storage and open shelves.

Colorful teapots decorate one side of the nook while the daily dishes are stored within arm’s reach of the table on the other. Look closer, and you’ll see that drawers for silverware pull out from the sides of the bench backs and the bench seats flip up to reveal additional storage.

Bench storage is common in a banquette, but storage that’s accessed from the top can become inconvenient if you have to move the cushions or the table’s in the way.

This banquette design by Venegas and Company http://www.houzz.com/photos/95751/West-Newton-Kitchen-kitchen-boston includes multiple storage drawers underneath. The dining nook takes advantage of the windows and vaulted ceiling to create a very open feeling space in the dining area.

The angular shape of this kitchen banquette design helps integrate the storage drawers underneath. Image courtesy of AHMANN LLC http://www.houzz.com/photos/657495/Kitchen-View-traditional-kitchen-dc-metro.

The banquette in this Case Design kitchen doubles as a china cabinet that keeps items hidden away. The bench itself can be used as banquette seating, a sunny windowsill for plants, or simply a place to gaze out the window.

The design of this banquette by TreHus Architects http://www.houzz.com/photos/824082/Spanish-Revival-Addition—Remodel—Breakfast-Nook-traditional-kids-minneapolis includes storage drawers that are more easily accessed from the ends of the benches than from the fronts.

One advantage of a banquette over a traditional table and chairs is that banquette seating can fit twice as many people. In this Rachel Reider Interiors http://www.houzz.com/photos/75321/Kitchen-traditional-kitchen-other-metros design, the curved bench helps fit more people around table while extending beyond the table to create plenty of extra seats for any occasion.

Without a dining table, a banquet looks a lot like a built-in bench and functions like a couch. A banquette comes with design options where a table can be added or removed at any time to change the look of the room or create extra dining space.

The bench pictured in this Mc Adam Kitchens http://www.houzz.com/photos/676993/Painted-In-Frame-Kitchen-In-Sage-Green-with-Lime-Oak-traditional-kitchen-dublin design can function as a comfortable sitting bench with a view and some extra storage below, or it can comfortably sit three along one side of a kitchen table.

Some banquette designs are very functional with their cutting-edge storage, extra seating, comfortable cushions, and refreshing views of both the outdoors and the room itself. But when it comes to some banquettes, design and style trump seating and storage needs. It all depends on your lifestyle and the look you’re striving for inside your space.

Outside the kitchen, a banquette around a smaller table can be perfect for drinks or small plates. Choosing a dining-level table instead of a lower coffee table keeps the space ready to quickly transform for dinner by adding a few chairs.

Placed on the other side of the kitchen window, this banquette and smaller table double as a couch and raised coffee table without any additional chairs. The serving window makes it easy to move food to the table from the kitchen. Photo courtesy of Mark Newman Design
