Mudrooms are becoming more popular as homeowners realize their many benefits. A mudroom raises the value of your home. You’ll enjoy a cleaner, more organized home with a mudroom. Many people choose to combine their laundry room and mudroom for convenience.
Bars
Adding a home bar will also to increase your home’s value. It’s a straightforward process that requires a few decisions from you, and we’ll handle the details.
Location
Living room: An ideal location for homeowners who entertain guests frequently.
Kitchen: Another fantastic spot if you host parties.
Lower Level or Basement: The quintessential location for a home bar. A bar gives your finished basement a refined look and allows for refrigerated storage and counterspace for entertaining.
Wall Units and Fireplaces
Custom wall units with fireplaces are becoming increasingly common. Refreshing a Fireplace with new stone or tile and replacing a dated mantel will bring, not only a sense of coziness to the room, but will make the living room feel more current in style. Wall units have many display and storage benefits. As with many other home renovation projects, wall units add value to your home. They also enhance your home’s interior and provide an attractive place to display photos, vases, and other accents.

What To Know About Wainscot
Wainscoting became popular in the 18th century to protect walls from scuffs and blemishes. It’s a functional and decorative addition to walls. It typically exists on the bottom third of a wall.
Different Types of Wainscot
Raised Panel: The oldest style of wainscot features a flat inside panel with a beveled edge that gives it a lifted appearance. It’s a popular choice for dining and living rooms in a more traditional home.
Flat Panel: Panels installed behind molding and trim for a clean, flat appearance.
Beadboard: The style uses thin rails connected with tongue and groove.
Overlay: Overlay is a combination of flat and raised panel styles. Flat panels are installed with additional panels to create a raised panel look.
Board and Batten: Vertical boards, known as battens, that cover seams on flat panels.
Rooms to Use Wainscot
Wainscot is an elegant accent in any space, but there are some places in your home where it will stand out more:
Foyers: These rooms are an excellent area for wainscot to give it a refined appearance. If you have a staircase leading off from the foyer, continuing the wainscot up the stairs will give your home a cohesive design.
Dining Rooms: Another fantastic room for wainscoting because the walls are susceptible to bangs and scuffs from chairs. It also complements features of formal dining rooms.
Fireplaces: Even if you never enjoy a fire, the mantel and surrounding space are where you display treasured family photos, and the wainscot is a beautiful way to complement those items.
