It’s that time of year when we are thinking about what we want to accomplish in 2016. A lot of us have some outstanding home projects that we want to finish up, or maybe ones that we want to start. I know I do! So, I wanted to take a look at the newest trends that we’re seeing in tile for Kitchen and Baths. Black Tile. This one actually sort of surprised me because historically it was so rare to see black tile unless it was the black & white checkerboard classic look.

Backsplashes are one of the most decorative areas in the kitchen. This is the place most homeowners splash out on for something colorful, detailed, or impressive to help complete the kitchen design. One of the most frequently used designs includes a border along the counters while a more decorative focal point is placed behind the cooktop. The question that arises, however, when installing a border along the counters is at what height to place it.

Powder rooms, or half bathrooms, are popular on the first floor of large and busy homes. They are often the bathroom used by friends and family who drop by for a short time, and they can be formal or functional depending on the rest of the family’s needs. Because there is no tub or shower in the powder room, this floor doesn’t tend to get wet or need the non-skid, super durable attributes that another bathroom might need.

When a family’s cabin on a remote lake in Ladysmith, Quebec, was too dilapidated to be renovated, they enlisted Kariouk Associates to help them create a new waterfront retreat. Sitting on the footprint of the original building, the new cabin was prefabricated off-site and transported to the location for a quick assembly. This greatly lessened the cost, as well as the stress of long-term construction on the property.

This light-permeable concrete could be used in all sorts of creative ways in the kitchen or bath—I'd fancy a shower enclosure made of it, or a backsplash panel. Tiny pores allow natural light to filter through the material for a subtle yet surprising look; for a more pronounced effect, thread-like fiber optics can light up the surface. The strength and water-repellent quality of the material is uncompromised. luccon.com.

It takes more than watching home-design shows to think like an interior designer.

They certainly have a lot to offer and are an excellent resource for those who hire them — but many of us just don’t have the budget.

One of the things that is just a fact of life in a small architecture firm, is that you have to do just about everything yourself – rarely do we simply pull out the company wallet and pay for something to get done. We tend to take advantage of the manpower we have on hand and no time is this more true than the holidays. Like most firms, we would like to let people know that we appreciate their patronage and support throughout this year and in years past.

Choosing the right headboard is an important design factor — but that doesn’t mean you’re limited to what you see in the design studios or furniture showrooms. Headboards, as impactful as they are on your room’s design, are actually one of the easiest bedroom components to make yourself.
