Design Tips To Transition Your Home From Fall To Winter

November and December are notoriously busy months. That being said, taking a moment to get your home ready for winter is not as easy as it sounds. If you feel like you hardly have a minute to spare this time of year, you’ll appreciate these simple design tips that make transitioning your home from fall to winter sweeter than a cup of hot chocolate.

Build storage that can accommodate your holiday decor.

The word “storage” is often associated with cluttered, bulky boxes, stacked in a dusty corner. It’s no wonder getting out your holiday decor feels like a grueling chore. Someone cue the elves!

One of the best home design hacks for transitioning from season to season is built-in storage. By opting for all wood cabinetry rather than plastic containers and cardboard boxes, you can easily organize and label all of your holiday decor and keep it discreetly hidden behind closed doors.

The best place to add storage cabinets will depend on the layout of your home, but garages and laundry rooms are often ideal for storing seasonal items. If you need some help picking a place for your new storage cabinets, contact our team for free room design services.

Set up a home bar for holiday entertaining.

It’s not uncommon for your home to have an increase in foot traffic during the winter months. From festive family gatherings to New Year’s Eve celebrations, you’ll probably have at least one party this season.

While crowding in the kitchen is common, it makes entertaining much more difficult. It’s enough to have your hands full with food preparation — no need to add fighting for countertop space into the mix.

Direct some of the traffic flow elsewhere by investing in a home bar. The great thing about home bars is that they can be as small and cost effective or large and elaborate as you like. From a custom all wood cabinetry bar with a wine storage cabinet to a quaint, portable island or cart, there is an option for every size budget and home.

Invest in radiant floor heating for the ultimate winter luxury.

Turning on the heat is helpful, but if you have tile floors, you know that raising the temperature won’t warm up your flooring. Radiant floor heating or in-floor heating is installed under your flooring during a renovation.

This simple addition gives your home heat from the bottom up which offers a few key benefits. Firstly, you can forget about stepping on ice cold bathroom tile in the morning (not the wake up call we want at all). No matter what type of flooring you have, it will stay comfortably warm all year long.

But radiant floor heating warms more than just the floor. The heat radiates upward throughout the room itself, providing a consistent, equally distributed warmth. This is definitely a benefit, especially when compared to a traditional radiator that tends to leave many “cold spots” throughout the home that are just too far out of reach.

In-floor heating is also relatively affordable and an easy step to add when installing new flooring. Homeowners that have opted for this design feature also experience lower electricity bills, as radiant flooring is considered a more energy efficient heating option.

How To Add A Touch Of Fall And Winter Warmth To Your TV Room

The nights are getting colder and all you want to do is get cozy on the couch with your favorite snacks and a holiday movie. Whether it’s Hocus Pocus in October or A Christmas Story in December, you’ll want your TV room to be movie night ready all fall and winter long. Add these touches to prepare your TV room for a season of binge watching.

Install an entertainment center so that every seat is a VIP seat.

With custom cabinets, you can create the perfect entertainment center for your TV room. There will be no more fighting over the best seat in the house, because every seat will be the best seat. Custom cabinets can be fitted for your big screen television for perfect viewing throughout the entire room. Everyone will feel like a VIP when their seat is front and center.

Spark some inspiration for your TV room by browsing our selection of all wood cabinetry. From traditional walnut finishes to sleek modern grey cabinets, we have a style for every room and theme. Willow Lane Cabinetry also offers free room design services. Reach out to our team for support in picking the perfect all wood cabinetry for your TV room.

Upgrade your sofa for comfort and durability.

Just like with custom cabinets, you are able to create the dream sofa for your home. If you are looking for a specific color or dimensions, many retailers offer the option to personalize your purchase so that it is exactly what you want.

As far as comfort and durability, you want to choose a sofa that is both easy to lounge in and easy to keep clean. Deep seats tend to be more comfortable, as do couches and sofas made with plush down filling rather than polyester.

Leather and natural fabrics tend to look nicer, but some are more difficult to clean or require a little extra TLC. If you want a kid-friendly option, polyester fabrics are stain-resistant and durable. If you really love the look of leather but don’t want the maintenance, there are really good faux options out there that don’t require any upkeep.

Stock up on all the cold weather essentials.

Comfort is key when watching a good movie. During fall and winter, that means you’ll need blankets. Wool blankets tend to be the warmest, but some people find them itchy. Cotton fleece or cashmere are good alternatives. Both of these materials will keep you warm and are softer to the touch.

If you are someone who is always cold, consider investing in a heated blanket. This can be a game changer in winter months when you feel like nothing can warm you up. You’ll find cordless options that don’t even need to be plugged in. They use a rechargeable battery, so your blanket will stay warm wherever it goes.

Keep blankets in the drawers of your custom cabinets, or place them in a basket or storage ottoman for easy access. Who wants to run around the house looking for blankets right when your movie is getting to the good part?

Secrets To Making A Small Living Space Seem Larger

Whether you live in a condo, a townhouse, or a single-family home with minimal square footage, chances are you desire a little more breathing room. While cozy and just the right size for your lifestyle, small living spaces can also seem cramped at times, and it’s natural to crave a more open an airy vibe. Here are the secrets to making a small living space seem larger.

In The Kitchen

If you are making a home renovation checklist for your small living space, don’t forget to include the kitchen. Perhaps the most important room in the home; the kitchen is where friends and family gather. They don’t call it the heart of the home for nothing.

The easiest way to make a small kitchen seem larger is by incorporating glass front doors in your all-wood cabinetry. Glass doors add an airy touch, as they help to draw light around the room.

Speaking of cabinetry…. be sure to take advantage of vertical real estate by installing all wood cabinetry that runs floor to ceiling, especially if you don’t have a designated panty. Choose a style that has clean lines and simple details, such as Shaker cabinetry.

For Open Concept Floor Plans

An open concept space should have a cohesive look that flows from the kitchen to the dining area and to the TV room. This can be achieved by matching the all-wood cabinetry in your kitchen to your TV room cabinetry. TV room cabinetry helps to keep clutter under control, which can also help your small living space appear larger.

Speaking of flow…. choose a light, neutral paint color for the walls, such as a warm gray or beige. Then go a step or two up on the color swatch for accent walls. If you prefer colorful walls, select a subtle shade, such as aqua, buttery yellow, sage green, or pale pink. Carry your color scheme throughout your small, open concept space.

To make your home seem larger than it is, flooring should also be seamless. You can avoid the choppy look of mix and match flooring by installing wood-look tile. Wood-look tile gives you the beauty of hardwood floors, but is water resistant and suitable for wet areas like the kitchen.

Keep window coverings to a minimum to let in as much natural light as possible. Plantation shutters or Roman shades offer privacy without adding visual clutter. If you prefer drapes, opt for light fabrics and hang them slightly below ceiling level to emphasize the height of the room.

Now that you know the secrets to making a small living space seem larger, it’s time to decorate in a manner that compliments the scale of your home without overpowering it. For tips on decorating a small living area from Better Homes and Gardens, click here.

3 Secrets to Designing An Awe-Inspiring Guest Bath

Dream bathrooms aren’t reserved for the master suite. In fact, any bathroom can be worthy of “oohs” and “ahs,” including the guest bath. Put your best bath forward and design a beautiful, welcoming retreat for visiting friends and family. Here are the secrets to designing an awe-inspiring guest bath in your home.

#1: Bathroom vanities are the focal point of the room for a reason.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “Vanity” as pride in oneself or one’s appearance. It’s also defined as a bathroom cabinet containing a sink and usually having a countertop. Take pride in the appearance of your guest bathroom by picking out a beautiful bathroom vanity that warrants attention.

Bathroom vanities are vital for storing fluffy towels, extra toothbrushes, and any other toiletries your guests might require. Willow Lane Cabinetry offers bathroom vanities in a wide selection of gorgeous styles and finishes, plus free room design services to bring dream bathrooms to life!

#2: Custom details are worth the splurge in a small space.

As we mentioned earlier, bathroom vanities also have sinks and countertops. Take advantage of this opportunity to add custom touches. For an awe-inspiring guest bath, opt for a unique vessel sink and countertops from Willow Lane Cabinetry. Then, finish the look with matching bath hardware and cabinet pulls.

When you shop at Willow Lane Cabinetry, you’ll save 30-50% over big box stores. Combine that with the free room design service we mentioned earlier, and it’s really not such a splurge at all! We have nearly everything you need for dream bathrooms and more.

#3. Dream bathrooms always have dreamy décor.

When designing an awe-inspiring guest bath, be sure to add dreamy décor that welcomes friends and family. Start by adding a mirror that compliments your cabinetry and lighting to illuminate the room. While functional, these elements can also add style to a small space.

Paint your walls a soothing color, or select durable wallpaper that makes a stunning statement. You may even want to consider adding a splash of color to your ceiling! Select backsplash tile and water-resistant flooring to achieve that magazine quality look. Then, complete the transformation with finishing touches, such as art, baskets, glass jars, and washable area rugs.

How To Make Tile Flooring A Fabulous Focal Point In Your Home

Look down, not up! Flooring might be the most overused and underappreciated element in your kitchen, but that doesn’t mean it can’t stand out. Your tile flooring can most definitely be a focal point in your modern kitchen design with these tips. It’s time to take your floors from functional to fabulous.

Old is charming but sometimes new is just better.

If your floors are simply outdated and overrun, replacing them may be all you really need. Encourage guests to look down (and then all around your kitchen) by installing new porcelain tile. You’d be surprised how new flooring can make your all wood cabinetry and other furnishings shine in a whole new way. That smooth, shimmering surface can make the entire room glow like never before.

Mix complementary styles to create an interesting design.

Flooring often falls short, but that’s not because it doesn’t have potential. We simply don’t realize all of the possibilities we have to make it a fabulous focal point. One truly unique way to optimize floors is to mix more than one style. By creating a visual dance from one pattern to another, all eyes will be captivated by your interesting floors.

When mixing tiles, there are some helpful rules to follow. First, think about scale. Mix small and large patterns together, rather than both small or both large styles. Next, stick to the same color. It’s much more complementary to mix two different patterns in the same color than two different colors in the same pattern. Lastly, choose either glossy or matte. While it’s possible to mix a glossy and matte tile, it is much more difficult than not.

Pick a pattern that is outside of the box but completely in style.

Consider a tile in a compelling pattern that you might have previously overlooked. Today’s materials have practically been engineered to perfection, which opens up so many doors for flooring. It used to be that only the most durable of materials could stand strong against kitchen traffic, but now you have the opportunity to indulge in your creative side with herringbone, hexagon, and basketweave patterns.

It’s often good to ask yourself, “Would I love this for a backsplash in a modern kitchen design?” It’s not uncommon to have preconceptions about what is flooring and what’s not. By allowing your mind to imagine this tile elsewhere, you are able to find a pattern you love — even if you’re not completely comfortable using it for flooring just yet.

Design an accent area highlighting your favorite part of the room.

You may have an accent wall in your TV room but have you ever explored the idea of accent flooring? When laying out your new tile design, consider creating an accent area to highlight one element of the room. Maybe it’s the beautiful all wood cabinetry of your kitchen island or your dining room table. You can make this element, as well as your floor, a focal point by creating a decorative trim or design using a different tile than the rest of the room.

3 Cool And Contemporary Color Combos For The Kitchen

When looking for a color palette to compliment your modern kitchen design, it can be difficult to know where to start. For inspiration, here are a few of our favorite cool and contemporary color combinations for the kitchen.

Light and Bright Combos

Once upon a time, pink and green was the “It” color combo. According to Southern Living, this colorful kitchen trend is making a comeback. Add a splash of crisp white to the mix, and you get cool and contemporary kitchens with a splash of pure whimsy.

To get the look, pair Mint Green Glass Subway Tile with Midtown White Shaker all wood cabinetry. Then, choose a soft pink shade for the walls. For a list of gorgeous pink paint colors, according to top designers, click here for a recent article from Elle Decor.

Bright shades of blue are also fun and always in fashion. According to Sherwin Williams, blue is the most popular color family by far. For a modern color palette, start with an energetic blue wall color or backsplash tile. Then, add cool contrast with white all wood cabinetry, such as our Regency White collection.

Neutral and Monochromatic Combos

Monochromatic color schemes are right on point. While light, neutral shades of gray, beige and white are classic, they can also be chic. The key is to layer tones for visual interest. Start with a subtle shade, and go one or two steps up the color swatch for an accent wall.

Neutral hues are soothing and can be a cool choice for contemporary kitchens, especially with decorating in an industrial or Modern Farmhouse style. Willow Lane Cabinetry offers a number of light finishes, including white, off-white and gray options in all wood cabinetry.

Dark and Dramatic Combos

Deep jewel tones are right on trend for home interiors, and can be a stunning choice for contemporary kitchens. From cool Emerald and Turquoise to warm Amethyst and Ruby Red, these dramatic, versatile shades pair nicely with both light and dark cabinet finishes.

Blueprint, Behr’s Color of the Year, also has a distinctly contemporary flair. This is especially true when paired with the dark cabinet finishes that optimize modern kitchen design, like our Midtown Dark Shaker all wood cabinetry. Cool Carolina Timber Wood Look Tile softens the look and is perfect for wet areas like the kitchen. Then, add natural stone countertops and stainless steel appliances to complete your cool and contemporary custom kitchen design.

5 Ways To Add Beautiful Style To A Boring White Ceiling

It’s quite the misconception that you can’t add style to basic architecture. In fact, even a boring white ceiling can come alive with the right addition. Here are five of our favorite ways to add beautiful style to your white ceiling.

A Splash Of Color

Color on the ceiling is very unexpected, which is why painting a ceiling with a splash of color is so powerful. From accenting your all wood cabinetry to enhancing the room’s character, a colorful ceiling can really transform a room.

If this is the route you decide to take, there are a few ways to go about it. If you want to be subtle, simply select a shade lighter or darker than what currently exists on your walls. This will create a slight contrast that is noticeable but not overwhelming.

Alternatively, if you have a modern kitchen design or your design style is more daring, you can opt for an accent color that plays off a specific element in the room. Taking this plunge is definitely riskier, but if it’s done right, it’s a statement that will make a lasting impression.

Rustic Faux Wood Beams

Wood beams are a beautiful addition to rustic, country or industrial style homes. They make things feel a little undone but in a thought-out way. This ceiling style is great for a making a room comfortable and cozy, plus it adds some instant charm.

Many homeowners get lucky and purchase a house that has exposed beams — but you can also install your own. You can add this style with reclaimed wood for a warm, country vibe or take things up a notch with a grained wood like mahogany for a more elegant, traditional take.

Shiplap Paneling

If you love the classic look of shiplap, you’ll be thrilled for this design opportunity. Shiplap makes for a beautiful ceiling and is another excellent choice for rustic, country or industrial style homes.

Shiplap looks great white but you can also paint it a color to add more character. Grey, black and navy are popular color choices, but the options are endless. Painted wood paneling can also be combined with beams for a really interesting look. Beams can be painted the same color as paneling or a contrasting color.

Glitzy Wallpaper

Wallpaper isn’t only reserved for walls. You can take this trendy decorative feature to new heights by applying wallpaper over your basic white ceiling. This is a great addition to contemporary kitchens or homes with a more eclectic style. The addition of a vibrant print or pattern adds an artistic element that really ties in well with a modern kitchen design. Metallic patterns, such as distressed gold-leaf wallpaper, are another dynamic selection.

Of course, you don’t have to go for the wow factor. A wallpapered ceiling can work well in a variety of themes, not just contemporary kitchens, and textured wallpaper can have an equally interesting effect.

Coffered Ceilings

Traditionally a more formal option, coffered ceilings can help tie together a large room or high ceilings. The pattern adds depth, which creates an interesting contrast. Homeowners that want the most elegant way to add style to their ceiling should consider this surface pattern.

Coffers can be pretty shallow or deep and come in different colors, giving the homeowner lots of design flexibility. You can add as much drama as you like or create subtle architectural interest.

How To Design a Charming and Cozy Eat-In Kitchen

While we often talk about open concept kitchens, many families end up eating in the kitchen despite having a dining room. Dream kitchens need functionality as much as flair, so if meal time often happens in your kitchen, your kitchen should be able to accommodate your preference. Here are some tips to help you design a charming and cozy kitchen perfect for eating in.

Build a breakfast bar.

Whether you have an all wood cabinetry kitchen island that could easily double as a breakfast bar or you need to set up a portable island, this extra seating is great for families that like to grab a quick bite before work and school. All you need is some place settings and comfy stools.

Building a breakfast bar also makes your kitchen better prepared for entertaining. When you have guests over, this seating will provide a more comfortable and expansive area for guests to sip and snack. In smaller homes, this can be a huge asset — especially if you host dinners or parties during the holidays.

Set up a two-person or four-person table in your kitchen.

If your kitchen is larger, you can optimize some corner space into a cozy dining nook. A two or four-person table can offer a secondary seating area when you don’t want to eat in the dining room. Depending on the layout of your kitchen, you could also install a built-in bench so that this secondary dining table is also an inviting spot to sit, socialize or read. A dining nook can offer much more than a standard kitchen table.

Alternatively, for those who don’t have an empty corner to convert, you can extend your kitchen island to serve as a table. This is often a good choice in tight spaces, as it creates additional seating while maintaining the existing flow and layout of the kitchen.

Consider high top seating.

Your all wood cabinetry home bar is a beautiful addition to your home, but it’s not the only place you can have high top seating. While a staple in most bars, this seating option also works great in smaller spaces.

Consider adding bar stool seating to your eat-in kitchen if you want to save space and add a little variety to the room. Because of its vertical design, high top seating can sometimes be the perfect solution in tiny eat-in kitchens.

Double down on storage to create more room for seating in your kitchen.

If you feel like your room can’t accommodate an eating space, you may have to get creative with storage solutions. The best dream kitchens have optimized every inch, so that they are clutter free and have plenty of room to live comfortably. If you do install a bench in your cozy corner, add some built in storage. This allows you to utilize the area underneath the bench to tuck away items. A portable island is another great way to add an eating space while also increasing your storage options.

Keeping storage in mind when designing your eat-in kitchen can help you make the most of your space by keeping clutter under control.
