Alternatives to Custom Built Bathroom Vanities

 

A custom bathroom vanity may sound like a great idea when you are remodeling your bathroom (who doesn't want their bathroom to be truly unique). People usually change their minds right at the point when they find out how much a custom vanity will cost. To find a true craftsman that will hand-make a custom vanity for you, can easily end up costing you thousands. Not to mention the fact, that it could take months for it to be built. If you have plenty of time, and a lot of disposable income, then a custom vanity may still be an option for you (for most homeowners, it is simply out of the question).

While a custom vanity may be out of your price range, there are plenty of semi-custom and stock vanity lines that will give you the look and feel of a custom vanity without the high ticket price. There are plenty of cabinet manufacturers that have picked up on the need for vanities that offer more than just the plain square oak front with particleboard sides. Some of the stock cabinets that are on the market now actually feature hand-carved accents, curved legs, and unique architectural features. While they are not completely hand-made, I can assure you that there are enough styles on the market that none of your neighbors will have the same exact one.

One of the latest trends, which was developed from the custom built cabinet industry, is the built-in furniture look. I have come across several vanity lines on the internet that have the look and feel of built-in furniture rather than a square box in your bathroom. Semi-custom cabinets can provide the old-world look of antique furniture, a modern sleek look, or a more contemporary art-deco feel.

So if you are getting ready to remodel your bathroom, and you are looking for a unique or custom look, do some research for semi-custom and stock bathroom vanities. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by what you find.

Kitchen Design Techniques To Ensure Proper Traffic Flow

 

When it comes to kitchen design and kitchen layouts, no matter how much you spend on upgrades and high end materials, if it is not properly laid out, you will get that investment back when it comes time to sell. In no other room is the phrase "form follows function" more appropriate than in the kitchen. By contrast, if you have a kitchen that not only looks good, but is also allows for proper traffic flow and adequate work space, it will not only benefit you in your daily activities but it will also translate to the bottom line when it comes time to sell.

Potential home buyers are looking for kitchens that provide a roomy work space and that are open to the rest of the home, since kitchens tend to be the most used room in a house. Even when you have guests over, often everyone gathers in the kitchen.

So, in kitchen designs you need a space that not only looks good, but allows you to accomplish your various cooking tasks as well. As any kitchen designer will tell you, it is important to factor in the "work triangle" into your kitchen layout. In this design idea, the three most used spots in your kitchen, the refrigerator, the stove and the sink are all within just a couple of steps of each other and laid out to form a triangular workflow area. If you're in the process of having your kitchen renovated or having a new house constructed, consider the impact kitchen designs can have on this space. Improperly laid out kitchens can lead to traffic flow problems and potentially dangerous accidents when moving hot food or pans.

Most interior designers or kitchen cabinet companies will have software programs that will help you visualize the kitchen of your dreams, but you can also do it on your own. There are inexpensive programs on the market that the average homeowner can buy to help layout their kitchen and the other rooms in their house. With the increase in homeowner's that are taking on the remodeling projects themselves, these software programs have become more and more popular.

If you don't feel comfortable taking on a task like this alone, there are plenty of kitchen design companies that will help you, but they are not cheap. Be prepared to increase your budget if you are going to get help from a designer.

 

Find out where the experts go to get all of their kitchen cabinets and accessories. Learn how to save thousand on kitchen cabinets by buying them where contractors and builders shop.
