Customization Increases Aesthetic Appeal and Real Estate Investment for Homeowners
From top-dollar homes in the San Francisco Bay Area to sprawling mountain homes in the Colorado Rockies, discriminating homeowners are demanding custom designs and finishes in their kitchens. In particular, they are looking to express their individuality and distinct design preferences with the fast-growing design material of choice — concrete.
In fact, concrete countertops have become somewhat of a
status symbol for kitchens, rivaling granite and other high-

Can you imagine how enlightening it feels to swim in crystal clear turquoise seawater, or to dive into the deep blue depths of a swimming pool? This is a sensation that can be created in the privacy of the home too, in the form of a fresh bathroom. The right choice of colour goes a long way to promote this feeling of freshness in the limited confines of the shower stall or bathroom, aquamarine, azure, pearl, and crystal all help to desired atmosphere. The fresh look bathroom should always provoke a sense of space and light, with an open and bright quality, rather than a cozy and sensual one. Colour and line accentuate this feeling, so use sea coloured tiles to cover large areas, creating a platform of uninterrupted colour, alongside a generous use of transparent materials and glass. It may be possible to replace a whole wall with glass to eliminate solid visual obstructions, and to install sleek bathroom units in gleaming white or a fresh aqua shade, with minimal visible plumbing. Paint the ceiling in a suitably pale hue and keep the floor light in colour and pattern to further promote the atmosphere of fresh spaciousness.
