Things to Consider Before Starting a Remodel Job

Are you looking to update your home? Have you been considering a remodel job but aren’t sure where to start? Remodeling your home is a wonderful way to refresh your home, bring old trends up to date, and sometimes even repair or upgrade certain areas.  

While a remodel job will give your home with a new look, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed about the process itself. Omorfia Designs can help you evaluate all the steps and find what is right for you.

Deciding to renovate your home can be a big step, but with proper planning and consideration, you can help avoid many of the inconveniences that sometimes go hand in hand with a remodel job.

Your Time Frame

It is essential to consider the remodel time frame before beginning this project. You will want to avoid any big family events, or maybe even think about the weather during the particular season you want to start.

Assessing the length of time the remodel will take is also important so you can evaluate how long you might be without certain areas of your home. If you are remodeling your kitchen, for instance, you will need to think about how long you may be eating out, or ordering takeout.

Avoiding holidays, vacations, or other key events, as well as considering how long the remodel job can take is essential to planning your project. Go ahead, sit down with a calendar and think about what will work best for your household. Planning the right time and accounting for the amount of time you’ll be working with a remodel job will help to avoid stress as the process unfolds.

Your Budget

Your budget might be the least fun thing to consider when planning to remodel your home, but it is one of the most important. It is essential to be realistic when preparing your budget. Getting halfway through a remodel job and finding out you are already at the end of your budget can be discouraging and stressful.

With sufficient planning and budgeting, you can make sure you account for almost everything, and then leave a cushion for some of the unknown items that could come up. If you plan to budget for a little extra, running into any problems or changes won’t be catastrophic, and you will be ready.

Aside from materials and labor, you should also account for some of the inconveniences of a remodel job, such as being without a kitchen and having to eat out or replacing items that could become damaged.

Clear Out the Clutter

Cleaning and organizing can help prepare your home for a remodel job. You will need a blank canvas to work with and will require many of your items packed away, as well as furniture, moved out.

Prepping your home for remodeling is a great time to declutter and organize areas in your home that you’ve been meaning to get to. Removing unwanted items, trading outdated decor for more current pieces, and cleaning, in general, will prepare you for this endeavor. Ensure you have space to move your furniture and belongings during the remodel.

Keep Your Family Safe

Do you have pets or kids? If so, it will be essential to make sure that the conditions of your home remain safe. Baby gates may need to be utilized to keep small children and pets out of construction areas, and debris will need to be cleaned up regularly.

If the living areas that kids and pets frequently spend time in are no longer available to them, you will need to make sure you have another safe and livable area for them during the remodeling time.

Make Your Dream a Reality

If you are willing to take the time and money to remodel your home, you will want to make sure the result is exactly what you’ve dreamed. Make sure you spend plenty of time listing and planning your dreams and expectations.

Draw pictures, list your ideas and develop a clear concept of how you want the result to end up. Details and planning will help you make your dream become a reality, and will make achieving that dream a lot easier.

Don’t Forget The Permits

Your county will likely require the necessary permits and fees before you can begin your remodel job if you are creating an addition to your home. If you are going beyond a simple remodel in your home and adding living space, you will need to make sure you check with your county and have everything approved.

Don’t be caught off guard and plan to obtain the required permits before you start your remodel job. Getting this vital step out of the way will help to ensure everything is done correctly and up to code.

Choose the Contractor That’s Right For You

You will want to decide if you are going to tackle your remodel job on your own or hire a contractor. While a DIY remodel might save money, a contractor can save you time, and potentially a headache. A contractor can ensure everything is done right and can likely accomplish the job on a shorter time frame.

Be sure to find the contractor that’s right for you by looking over client reviews and consulting with the contractor. You will want to be sure you’re confident in the contractor’s abilities and work ethic.

Omorfia Designs can recommend licensed and bonded contractors that they regularly work with and can provide you with a recommendation for you. Feel free to ask them about a contractor that would be right for you.

Focus on Interior Styling

Once the construction part of your remodel job is finished, you’ll be able to enjoy the fun part. Working with Omorfia Designs, you’ll be able to establish the interior design aesthetic you’ve been looking for.

Their team of professionals can help put the finishing touches on your newly renovated home with updated trends, style, and expertise. Interior styling of your remodeled space is the much-awaited result, and usually the most enjoyable part of a remodel.

Enjoy The Process

In the end, it’s important not just to survive the remodel process but to embrace and enjoy it. With planning, lists, and some research, you can make your remodel job easier and even enjoyable.

Let Omorfia Designs help get you started with a free 30-minute consult. Relying on experts for your remodel job will help take the guesswork and stress out of the process, leaving you free to enjoy the new look of your home.

Popular Kitchen Remodel Ideas

Your kitchen is the heart of your home. You spend hours there every day, so you want it to feel bright, inviting, and comfortable. And if you do any entertaining, your kitchen is on display for guests to see.

Updating a kitchen can make the space more your style, more useful, and something you want to show off. It can also increase the value of your home. Kitchen remodeling is one of the most popular interior design projects we help our clients with.

A full kitchen remodel averages $21,751, with a range of between $12,000 and $33,000. But kitchen remodeling doesn’t have to be a $30,000, month-long project. Omorfia designers can also help you with some smaller-scale remodels that will pack a punch without breaking your budget.

Here are some kitchen remodeling ideas that can be done alone, or in combination, to upgrade your space. Let us know if any of these sound interesting, and we’ll help you get your kitchen spiffy in a jiffy.

Light Up Your Life with New Kitchen Fixtures

Is your kitchen saddled with a white square on the ceiling that looks like a piece of gum? How about one of those long rectangular fluorescent lights like they have at the dentist? Maybe your current fixture screams “That 70’s Show.” One of the quickest and most effective kitchen remodel ideas is to change out your lighting.

Without much cost or intrusion into your kitchen, you can upgrade your lighting to get a lot of bang for your buck. Adding some spotlighting, track lighting, under-cabinet lighting, pendants, or a central fixture that draws your eye will make your kitchen bright and stylish.

One of our consultants can help you navigate the lighting world and ensure your choices are affordable, durable, and will not overload your circuits. We can also help you add recessed lighting or task lighting to make your kitchen more usable.

Treat Your Windows to a New Look

New blinds, curtains, or a valance will add color and visual interest to your kitchen window and spruce up your kitchen. It’s an opportunity to coordinate with other color choices and pull the room together for a classy look.

Our designers will help you make choices between plantation blinds, Roman shades, natural woods or bamboo, cordless cellular shades, or solar shades. We can help with fabric choices for valances and coordinate towels, placemats, and other fabric accents for eye-catching flair.

Make a Splash with a New Backsplash

A stylish new backsplash behind your stove and countertops will update any kitchen and provide a focal point. Backsplashes also make cleaning easier, as they can be wiped down and often don’t show dirt.

Backsplashes are a great way to play with color and make a visual point in an otherwise neutral kitchen. You don’t have to install the backsplash throughout the kitchen. You can make an accent wall by only putting it behind your stove, for example, or use a different pattern there and a more uniform look elsewhere.

Replacing your oven hood is a good complementary project to adding a backsplash and can also make a huge change in your kitchen. Removing the under-cabinet oven hood that is in most kitchens and replacing it with a ceiling or wall-mounted stainless steel hood will open more wall behind the hood for a beautiful backsplash.

Installing a backsplash is also a good time to consider adding any wall outlets to your kitchen that you wish you had. Many older kitchens suffer from a lack of outlets behind the counter for small appliances such as toaster ovens and Instapots. Add these outlets now, before you put tile on the wall.

Wash that Old Sink Right Out of Your Kitchen

A new sink and an upgraded faucet will make your existing kitchen more useful and beautiful. Since you aren’t tearing out your cabinets or appliances, you’ll be restricted to roughly the overall size of your current sink, but there are big changes you can make even so.

Get rid of your standard, shallow stainless sink and replace it with a double-basin sink of various depths and duties, or a farmhouse sink. Choose among composite sinks, stainless, granite, or cast-iron. Improve the functionality of your sink with features such as built-in drainboards and vegetable sinks.

Depending on your needs, faucets with built-in sprayers, or that turn on with the back of a hand can help you be more efficient in the kitchen. A high-neck faucet and a deeper sink will allow you to fill tall pitchers and buckets, for example.

Changing your sink and faucet is also a time to consider adding a water filtration system, a garbage disposal, or other upgrades. Let our designers help you make the most of this kitchen remodeling choice.

New Flooring Makes a Huge Difference

If your kitchen is stuck in a previous decade with its linoleum floor or saddled with the design choice of a previous owner that isn’t your style, upgrading the flooring can be a great choice.

There are many options for a great kitchen floor that will suit your needs and budget. Our designers can help you understand the differences and select the right one.

Ceramic tile is a classic material that is durable and offers a lot of variety and style. Wood flooring can be great, especially if you’re extending a floor from an adjacent living or dining room. Laminate flooring is durable and cleans up easily if you have a family that makes kitchen messes. Cork flooring is comfortable to stand on and can relieve joint pain if you’re on your feet in the kitchen often.

There are also sustainable choices such as bamboo, and the new vinyls are much classier and more diverse than in previous years. Often you can have a vinyl floor that looks like wood or tile, saving you a bundle in materials costs but offering a luxurious look.

A kitchen floor remodel can usually be done in a day or two without requiring you to take everything out of your cabinets.

Other Ideas for Partial Kitchen Remodels

• Remove cabinets and add shelving or pot racks instead

• Remove cabinet doors and use open shelving for a brighter look and to show off pretty dishes or stemware.

• Upgrade your countertops

• Repaint your current cabinets and install updated hardware

• Add an island

• Update your appliances

Whether you’re looking for a complete kitchen redesign for better flow and use of space or a more modest kitchen remodel, we can help you go from ideas to reality. Contact us for a free 30-minute consultation and let us help you make your kitchen the place you want to be.

Easy & Fun Bathroom Makeover Tips

Are you looking to bring new life to your bathroom space? Here are some fun and easy tips on making over your bathroom.

Have A Plan and Stick to It!

It’s important before beginning your bathroom makeover to have a plan in place. Whether you’re just freshening things up or doing a complete remodel, it’s essential to know how much space you have and what you’re willing to spend.

If you’re adding a vanity or tiling the floor, you need to be sure that what you buy fits in your bathroom. Better Homes & Gardens suggest you get a copy of your home’s blueprints to know your bathroom dimensions and the placement of plumbing and electrical.

Be sure to have a good idea of what you are willing to spend. To help stick to your budget, it is good to know exactly what you want to do from start to finish. Making adjustments to tile selections, faucet choice or even paint colors can change your final price tag significantly.

A bathroom makeover sounds like a small project, but it can turn into a headache. Having the right partner to help you navigate the planning process can help take the stress out of your project.

At Omorfia Designs Inc., we listen to what you want, and we help you put those ideas into a plan, and make your space beautiful.

Paint

Painting is a small investment and a great way to transform your bathroom. Because most bathrooms are small, it’s best to avoid dark colors that will only make it feel smaller. Light or muted colors and bold patterns do well to makeover your bathroom walls.

Be sure that you take moisture into consideration when purchasing paint. Many paint and hardware stores have bathroom-specific paint readily available.

Most of us have some experience painting walls somewhere in our house. Painting the bathroom, however, takes a bit more preparation than most rooms. To avoid bumpy textures and paint not sticking to the walls, The Spruce suggests you scrub down your bathroom walls to rid them of soap scum and other substances.

Easy Window Treatments

If you have the natural light of a window or two in your bathroom, there are lots of ways you can dress up those windows that also help to control the light they offer.

• Roman shades are yet another way to add color and pattern to your space. They also soften the light coming from your window, giving a much more ambient feel.

• Shutters, whether decorative or functional, work well in bathrooms to help accent your windows. Be sure the wood finish or shutter color you choose matches any trim in your bathroom.

• Drapes, cafe curtains, balloon curtains, and valances can help you highlight windows and add privacy to more formal designs. White is the most popular color for bathroom curtains, giving a bright and airy look, but you can also add pops of color or pattern with the materials you choose.

Fixtures

Choosing faucets and shower heads aren’t the most fun jobs, but deciding on stainless steel versus copper makes a difference when you look at your bathroom. It’s also good to consider low-flow faucets, shower heads, and toilets to help conserve water and keep your water bill low.

Lighting in a bathroom is very important. Some bathrooms have little to no natural light available. Adding sconces on either side of or near mirrors can maximize the light they project and illuminate countertops. Pendant lights can add a second layer of lighting and work well in bathrooms with high ceilings or hung above freestanding tubs.

Update Your Vanity

Another great bathroom makeover element is the vanity. Finding the perfect style, height, and details help to bring the room together.

Better Homes & Gardens has some ideas on how you can update your existing vanity. You can paint it, stain it, or shabby-chic it with a distressed look. A fresh coat of paint in a shade that complements your color scheme can bring new life to your vanity. Add new hardware or use decorative papers on the cabinet doors to bring texture and depth.  

If you’re not keen on the stock vanities available, there are lots of ways to create your own with found or purchased furniture. Get a dresser, desk, or media cabinet that has the right dimensions for your space and can accommodate a sink and plumbing. Be sure to think about the height of the furniture for washing hands and doing your morning hygiene routine

Time to Tile

Whether you do it yourself or call the professionals for help, installing new tile helps bring texture, and sometimes color, to your bathroom. There are a wide variety of tile styles and materials available now from classic ceramic tiles to floor tiles that mimic wood flooring. Whatever you choose, be sure that you know how much you need of it so that you don’t run into unforeseen costs during your project.

Adding tile to walls, floors, and showers or tubs gets expensive. To save time and money, Money Crashers advises you to add a feature to one wall or a strip of decorative tiles to break up your wall space. This is a great way to add a pop of color without breaking the bank.

If you opt to add a large amount of tile or no tile at all, be sure to take the time to clean the grout of any existing tile. There’s nothing drabber in a bathroom than grimy grout. The same goes for redoing your caulking. It’s a simple and effective way to freshen up your bathroom at very little cost.

If you’re still feeling overwhelmed by all the options out there or you don’t know where to start, we’re here for you! At Omorfia Designs Inc. we bring ten years of design experience, so we have the knowledge and skills to help you from the planning process right through to completion.

If you just need a bit of guidance as you begin your project, give us a call, the first 30 minutes are FREE. We also have a 90-minute personal design consultation for just $99 for those who want hands-on help. We look forward to working with you as you make your bathroom space beautiful.

Royal Wedding Colors and U.S. Interior Design Trends Collide

Have you caught yourself watching any of the recent royal weddings? It is hard not to be at least a little bit fascinated by the lavish affairs that are generally broadcast even on our side of the pond. Between the elegant dresses, the incredible floral arrangements, the food, and of course the hats and fascinators, our screens are filled with an array of colors.

Is our country influenced by these color choices? How did Kate Middleton’s choices of colors for her wedding affect Americans? Or how about Meghan Markle’s light green arrangements? Or even Princess Beatrice and Eugenie with Eugenie’s recent marriage.

Americans are enamored with the royal lifestyle, so it makes sense that their choices will influence us. Time and again, we have seen colors from a royal affair creep into our fashion and design world. Whatever colors are chosen to adorn the dresses and flowers at royal weddings inevitably invade our walls and wardrobes, too. The experts at Omorfia follow these trends and will help bring these colors into your home.

Mint Green Galore

For the 29 million Americans and 53 million people worldwide who tuned in to watch Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tie the knot, the evidence of Meghan’s favorite color was everywhere.

It is no secret Meghan Markle prefers shades of light green, in particular, mint green. It is noticeable in her clothing choices, and the incredibly popular lifestyle blog she used to run is full of her preferences for this soft color.

Pictures from the royal wedding in May showcase all shades of green. Meghan’s mother wore an incredible mint green dress with a matching hat and coat. The Queen herself, who is known for her love of bright colors, even wore a green jacket over her floral dress. Many of the guests were in similar shades of green. Everyone looked fabulous in this calming yet flattering color.

Since the wedding, Americans have seen a drastic rise in the color green across the board. Interior decorators are filling homes and walls with beautiful shades of green. One of the hottest colors of 2018 is light green. This color is an excellent choice because it comes in so many beautiful shades from mint to chartreuse to sage and citron.

It will not be hard to find a way to incorporate light green as there is a shade for everyone. If you are looking for ways to try out light green without painting a wall or buying a new couch, try throw pillows, curtains, vases, artwork, or throw blankets on your couch. Or simply bring in a bouquet filled with soft green or even a live plant.

If you are sold on this appealing color, there are numerous shades of paints from every distributor that will fit the bill. One particular color that will be easy to find is Pearl Gray from Sherwin-Williams. Painting any area of your home, or even painting one wall as an accent, will create a warm and soft feel. Light green is known to be a calming color.

Will Jewel Tones Be Next?

Though not as heavily publicized or followed, Princess Eugenie is another royal who also had a royal wedding this year. Princess Eugenie is the daughter of Prince Andrew, the third child of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Edward, and Sarah, Duchess of York, though the world knows her as Fergie.

Princess Eugenie is not a “working royal,” meaning she does not perform daily duties for the queen. She is not close in line for the throne; she is ninth in line, so she has fewer responsibilities. That doesn’t stop people all over the world from being fascinated with her and her wedding.

The princess married Jack Brooksbank in October. Jack is a small celebrity himself since he works for the alcohol brand started by George Clooney and Rande Gerber. Many well-known celebrities attended their wedding, including George and Amal Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Liv Tyler, Naomi Campbell, and Kate Moss; Andrea Bocelli even performed!

Even amidst all these celebrities, it was hard to miss the prevalence of jewel tones everywhere. Across the board deep blues, vibrant greens, and beautiful reds adorned dresses, flowers, and decoration. Emeralds, rubies, and sapphires were called to mind as we watched guest after guest come and go from this lavish affair. Princess Eugenie even borrowed a tiara for her special day filled with incredible emeralds from The Queen.

Will we start seeing rich jewel tones in paint colors coming out in the next year? When we go shopping for a cocktail dress to a holiday party will we see lots of deep reds, blues, and greens? Jewel tones are incredibly beautiful and bold. Most people wouldn’t mind picking from these beautiful hues.

Princess Beatrice is the older sister of Princess Eugenie. Though not currently dating anyone, it is fun to surmise what another royal wedding might bring. What colors will she choose? What will the guests wear? Will we see these colors creeping across the pond and into our homes the following few months?

We can only assume that it will be a lavish affair that people all over the world will be interested in and take time out of their schedules to watch. Royal weddings, though not a regular occurrence, have quite the effect on the world around them.

In Conclusion

If you have been inspired by either of the recent royal weddings and want to incorporate those colors into your home, call the experts at Omorfia. They will meet with you and together make a plan on how to bring the beauty of the royal weddings into your everyday life.
