Are you looking to renovate or remodel your kitchen or bathroom in Calgary? Here's what's popular among homeowners at the moment.
Basins and Sinks
In terms of bathroom basins the latest styles are often wide and shallow, but deep, round basins are also popular. For kitchen sinks, the double-sink is going out of fashion and instead single sinks or trough sinks are becoming more popular.
Baths for your Bathroom
What is the trend in terms of baths when remodeling your bathroom? The roll-top style is a modern bath style that is free standing. In terms of materials you can now consider stone, cast-stone composites and wood.
Tiling
Tiling is another important element in the remodeling of your kitchen or bathroom. The use of tiles is becoming more varied with a variety of sizes and textures. Different tiles of different sizes can be layered for different effects, but ensure that you get a professional to do this to ensure that the tiles are watertight.
Open Plan Kitchen
A trend you can consider in the renovating of your kitchen is the fact that many people today are trying to integrate their kitchens with the rest of their homes, making an open-plan with the living room or family room area. Although this can be a good idea when it comes to being able to spend more time with family or friends in the living room, or watching TV, while cooking; the negative aspect could be that if you will also be doing formal entertaining in the open-plan area that you may not wish guests to see you preparing the dinner. Consider whether this option is going to work best for you or not.
Spacious and Light
Another trend in Calgary that is being seen in remodeling is that people want more spacious areas that also have more light. This is part of the reason for the open-plan kitchen design described above, and in bathrooms there is an increased use of glass and larger floor plans.
Wet Rooms to Complement Your Bathrooms
Another element that is becoming popular in Calgary is your wet room. The whole bathroom could be turned into a wet room with the use of a waterproof membrane or a small wet-room within the bathroom could be created. In both of these situations the waterproofing is vital and should be carefully done by a trained professional.
Environmentally Friendly
An environmentally friendly or green approach is also becoming more popular as people look for renewable materials, water conservation and energy renewal techniques in their home. If you are interested in creating an environmentally friendly space then speak to local contractor about how you can implement these plans into your home.
