The best solution is to pick alternate colors that match the specific paint to create a stunning interior color scheme.

Are you curious about Benjamin Moore Gray Owl complementary colors? If that is so, it is not easy to find which hues can excellently complement the gray paint.

The reason behind it is related directly to the fact that gray is actually a color that does not exist in the color wheel, something that makes it easier for people to find the right complementary color of a particular hue.

If that is the case, what should you do when you are in love with the specific Benjamin Moore paint and want to know about other hues you can use together for an excellent interior color scheme? We have a solution that might work well for your situation.

It is none other than finding the perfect colors that go well with the Gray Owl. Although the gray paint series can indeed match any different hues so easily because of the neutral characteristic, in this post, we will limit the options only to the best-looking ones.

One important thing you must keep in mind is that the choices are not limited only to other paint series. They can also be the colors of other items placed in the interior, including appliances, decorations, and furniture since they are also essential parts of the color scheme.

1. Benjamin Moore Snowfall White OC-118 for a Warm and Inviting Interior

Is a warm and inviting atmosphere the one you like the most? If so, you can pair the Gray Owl with Benjamin Moore Snowfall White OC-118. The picture of the living room above shows an example of the usage.

In this open-style interior, the Gray Owl exists on the walls. On the other hand, Snowfall White can be seen in the trims and kitchen cabinets at the back.

What we love the most about the color combination is that the colors complete one another. At the same time, they are also connected by a similarity, which is a warm appearance.

The wall paint here has a darker tone compatible with the beige L-shaped sofa. Because of this fact, the decision to choose a lighter trim and cabinet color is the best solution to avoid the interior looking too warm so that it can make everyone entering it feel uncomfortable instead of feeling invited.

The color scheme improves because of Decorator’s White OC-149 on the ceiling. It not only makes the living room interior look brighter but also prevents it from looking too narrow because of the height that is not too high.

2. Compatibility with Grayish Tone in Benjamin Moore White Wisp OC-54

If you want to stay out of trouble, picking a neutral color as the match for the Gray Owl can always be the best solution. Here, we are talking about nothing but the ultimate neutral hue; white.

Please take a look at the picture of a traditional entry above. Here, the wall color used is Gray Owl. As the pair, it gets White Wisp OC-54 on both the ceiling and interior trims.

Compatible visual is the one that you will get from this color combination. The best thing of all, the white hue seems to bring out a refreshing touch to the interior, dominated by gray from the wall and some dark shades of brown from the floor, doors, stairs, and even the furniture choices.

3. Benjamin Moore Tropical Orange 2170-20 for a Zestful Boost

For you who use the Gray Owl in the dining room or in the breakfast area, and at the same time, you want the place to be zestful since you always start your day there, this unique alternate complementary color can be a great choice to consider. It is none other than Tropical Orange 2170-20.

The midcentury dining room in the picture above presents you with an excellent example. The wall design combines Gray Owl and the fun and vigorous Tropical Orange accent wall.

Can you imagine how amazing it is to start every working or school day in this dining room, enjoying breakfast and morning chat while at the same time gaining some fun and cheerful feeling from the orange tone that is balanced with the existence of the neutral gray wall paint? Something like this is just perfect.

4. Crisp Feel with Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White OC-149

To give a crisp feel to your interior, you can pair the Gray Owl with something brighter. An excellent example we want to suggest here is Decorator’s White OC-149.

The picture above shows you how neat and clean the transitional family room is, right? This interior combines Gray Owl for the walls and Decorator’s White for the trim.

Adding the white trim is even better because it does not only compliment the gray walls nicely. It also matches the furniture choices in the family room, especially the seats and the rug.

5. Complementing, Bold Whale Gray 2134-40 Accent Wall

Gray Owl is not only applicable on the walls. You can also use it for any other room parts, including the ceiling.

It can create a visual effect of a higher ceiling when used on that part. It is especially when the walls are in a darker hue.

The picture above gives us a really good example. It has the most simple yet effective combination between gray and gray.

The wall color used here is Benjamin Moore Whale Gray 2134-40. It clearly has a darker hue.

That is why the choice of Gray Owl on the ceiling is excellent. Its brighter tone makes the room look like it has a higher ceiling, creating a more spacious visual.

A similar visual effect also resulted from the choice of cabinet color. Here, the paint is Benjamin Moore Coventry Gray HC-169. It also looks good together with the walls and ceiling hues.

6. Whale Gray for an Alternative Classic Combo

The combination of Gray Owl and Whale Gray is also excellent for creating a classic look. A good example of this is in the traditional, modern, beach-style kitchen you can see in the picture above.

This interior strongly shows the classic feel, dominated by the welcoming Gray Owl on the walls, cabinets, and trims. It gets even better with the existence of Whale Gray island right in the center.

If you want to make the classic look even more substantial, you can add some white touches. In the kitchen above, this color exists in the kitchen island top and furniture detailing.

7. Benjamin Moore Sea Haze 2137-50 for a Soothing Bedroom Pair

Gray Owl can look soothing and relaxing when paired with the right match. A combination like this can be a perfect choice for a bedroom.

Let us look at the picture of the transitional bedroom, which from the decorations, seems to be made for kids. Here, the walls below the chair rail are painted in Gray Owl. On the other hand, the color of the upper part is Benjamin Moore Sea Haze 2137-50.

This paint color has a green undertone in it. It is also the one that brings a soothing feel to the bedroom.

For additional information, two other paint colors are used to add brightness to this bedroom. Those are Benjamin Moore Hushed Hue 1520 on the ceiling and Benjamin Moore Dune White 968 For all the trim, moldings, and doors.

8. A Classic Touch in a Gray Owl Living Room with Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron

Another way to create a classic visual while using Gray Owl in your interior is by pairing it with Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron 2124-10. This paint color still belongs to the share of black but with a hint of brown.

When you pair both paint colors and do not want the interior to look dark, please ensure that the Gray Owl is more dominating than the Wrought Iron. As an example of the application, we can look at the contemporary living room picture.

Here, most of the room is dominated by a bright color combination consisting of Gray Owl on walls and Sherwin Williams Extra White 7006 on the trims. The Wrought Iron is used on the fireplace only.

Here is a closer look at the color combination. You can see how gorgeous the paints are together here, right?

9. Evening Sky and Medium-Tone Stained Wood for a Cozy and Elegant Traditional Feel

Everybody loves cozy interiors. And if you do, too, you can create it by using Gray Owl combined with Benjamin Moore Evening Sky 833 as done in the traditional kitchen above.

The best thing about using Evening Sky as the match for the Gray Owl is not merely about the visual compatibility. It is also because they can create a cozy traditional atmosphere that is at the same time elegant too.

In the interior design shown in the pic, the Gray Owl is applied on the walls. As for the Evening Sky, it appears on the cabinets and island. The cozy look is simply unmistakable with the wooden island top and hardwood wall choices.

The designer chose a bright hue for the ceiling to prevent the room from visually becoming too dark. It is none other but White Dove OC-17.

10. Timeless Interior Design with Benjamin Moore Black and Gray Owl

Do you need a timeless idea with Gray Owl because you are the type who likes to stick with the same interior style for a long time? If yes, the color match you need is none other than Benjamin Moore Black 2132-10.

It has been known for a long time that the pairing between Gray and black is timeless. It always looks fantastic, no matter what the era is. Besides, it is also applicable in any interior style.

The transitional mudroom is one good example. Its walls are painted in Gray Owl and paired with the stunning Benjamin Moore Black 2132-10 door.

Just like earlier examples that we have presented here, we can also find the addition of white in this mudroom design. It is the custom coat rack storage with the color of Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17. Something like this is the easiest yet most effective way to make a room with a gray and black color scheme to get the brightness needed.

11. Gray Owl and Black Accentuating Small Details

As we have explained earlier, using black as one of the best matches for Gray Owl is not limited to the choice of the Black paint series from Benjamin Moore. As a matter of fact, any shade of black can be a perfect pair for the specific gray paint.

In this transitional bathroom, for example, the neutral Gray Owl cabinets look lovely together with the black hardware and some other black items in the room, including the faucet, door handle, and even the frames. All those small details give some bold touches in a very simple yet fabulous way.

If you are curious about the wall paint, it is Benjamin Moore Intense White OC-51.

12. Deep Espresso Stain for Adding Boldness to a Neutral Interior

When your room is dominated by Gray Owl, such as when you apply this hue on the walls, please do not think you can only pick something light, bright, or neutral as the match. For example, you can add a bit of boldness by selecting deep espresso staining as the pair.

In the traditional neutral interior shown in the picture, the pairing of Gray Owl and warm white color dominate the space quite the most. They make the interior tend to be on the neutral warm side.

The existence of the walnut floor stained in deep espresso, on the other hand, boosts the boldness of the room in a good way. It avoids the visual being too neutral or warm, which can only make the beautiful space less fabulous.

13. Bright Red for a Passionate and Lively Atmosphere

Let’s talk about some attractive alternative, complementary colors for the Gray Owl that we think to be perfect if you are a fan of popping visuals. The hue that we mean here is red.

Gray Owl and red pairing can result in a passionate and lively visual. The neutral characteristic of the gray color really brings out the best look of the red.

For example, you can look at the transitional kitchen in which Gray Owl cabinets get a charming, popping match: the bright red range.

This closer look shows how the bright red range pops perfectly with the Gray Owl on one side of the room.

Another example that we consider too gorgeous to miss is available in this picture. This Gray Owl living room also gets red as its pairs. In this case, we are talking about the bright red chairs.

The room definitely becomes more lively with this additional color. It gets even nicer because some other elements, such as the pillows, are in red too.

14. Refreshing Interior with Gray Owl and Blue

If you want the Gray Owl interior to look more refreshing, blue is the color you must pick as the pair. By adding some blue elements, you can see how significantly the ambiance in the room will change.

Please take a look at the traditional dining room design. Without the bright blue chairs, the space will tend to be warm and cozy.

With the chairs in it, everything is on a different level. Besides, the blue elements also become the new center of attention thanks to the neutral gray owl background.

This beach-style living room is designed considerately. While gray, including the Gray Owl wall paint, is clearly the most dominant color there, the designer also added a lot of small yet significant blue accents.

We call them the perfect addition because together with the gray colors, they visually represent the beach strongly enough. Even when you enter this kind of room, we are sure that the first image that comes through your mind is the sea.

15. Gray Owl and Yellow for a Bit of Vibrancy in a Cool and Calming Living Room

Gray Owl and the yellow combination can be perfect for the living room. Thanks to the gray color that tones it down, the yellow hue brings up some vibrancy without being too vibrant.

The picture above shows how fabulous the existence of a mustard yellow sofa in a Gray Owl living room is. It brings a cheerful and lively atmosphere without ruining the gray’s cool and calming look.

16. Gray Owl and Brown Furniture for Coziness and Elegance

Lastly, we want to show you another easy yet effective idea about the best color you can match with Gray Owl paint. It is none other than brown, and you must know it would be perfect for the furniture.

Let us take the image of the traditional entry above as an example. The existence of the brown dining chairs in a room with Gray Owl walls is fabulous. It completes the color scheme and the elegant style chosen for the interior.

10 Burnished Slate Metal Roof ideas for Stunning Home Exterior Design https://www.jimenezphoto.com/burnished-slate-metal-roof/ https://www.jimenezphoto.com/burnished-slate-metal-roof/#respond Wed, 22 Mar 2023 22:11:14 +0000 https://www.jimenezphoto.com/?p=4803 Burnished slate metal roof has become a preference among many people primarily because of the look that is highly similar to the actual copper roofing, complete with the brown patina. Pairing it with the right colors can help create a stunning look for enhancing your exterior.

burnished slate metal roof idea

LindaBrownell.com

The burnished slate metal roof has become a preference among many people because of its benefits. The most significant one is the look highly similar to the actual copper roofing, complete with the brown patina.

The best thing about choosing it instead of natural copper is the lower price. Besides, because it is a painted product, you can instantly get the brown patina look without waiting too long.

While some people do not really like copper because of the fact that as time goes by, it can create staining in the surrounding areas where it is installed, the burnished slate option is not like that. Worrying about stains is not necessary when you choose them.

With all those benefits, it is reasonable for this type of roof to become a favorite among people. If you also think so, in the following, we will provide you 10 roofing ideas with burnished slate metal as the primary material.

Here, we will focus on how it can be paired with other elements, including color, to create a stunning exterior look.

1. Burnished Slate Metal Roofing Over the Singles of a Traditional Grey and White Exterior

This first idea shows a gorgeous combination of a metal roof in burnished slate color paired with grey wall siding. Since both colors go along, they create a beautiful traditional exterior.

The detail we love here is the choice of white for the trims. It prevents the dark tone of the roof and the wall from making the exterior look dull.

Another piece of information that we should not miss is the fact that this metal roofing is actually something that is installed right over the old shingles of the traditional house. It is exciting to consider when you want new roofing without having to remove the old one.

2. The Combination of Metal Roof in Burnished Slate and Brick for a Cozy-Looking Exterior

A metal roof in burnished slate color can create a cozy exterior too. It is especially when you pair it with the correct elements.

The picture above is an excellent example that you can take a look at. Here, the roof gets exposed-brick wall as the pair. The compatibility of the colors, in which some touch of brown exists, creates the perfect cozy exterior atmosphere.

Just like the previous idea, white color is also used in this one, as you can see in the wall siding, trim, window, and also doors. While balancing the darkness and brightness in the exterior look, it somehow makes the burnished slate hue of the metal roof pop even better.

3. Burnished Slate Metal Roofing and Warm White Walls for an Inviting Visual

A warm and inviting look is another that you can create by using a metal roof in burnished slate in the exterior design. However, the visual can be better when you pair it with another element. In this case, we specifically discuss warm white color for the exterior walls.

The picture above shows an excellent example that you must look at. It combines the metal roof’s brown tone and the wall siding’s warm white hue.

The pairing between the elements creates a cozy, warm, and inviting atmosphere. It makes the house look gorgeous and relaxing to see at the same time.

4. Roof in Burnished Slate Metal Material Complementing a Beautiful Neutral Grey Exterior

For you who are more on the neutral side, burnished slate metal roofing can still be your perfect choice. Although so you must know about the most suitable exterior colors to consider to create the visual.

The traditional house that you see in the picture also uses a metal roof in burnished slate as the option. It also has white trim, as found in earlier ideas.

The difference exists in the wall siding color, which directly connects with the roof’s burnished slate hue. It is the bluish-grey tone that also helps the roofing in creating a stronger neutral look.

5. Stunning Visual with Brick Red Siding and Metal Roof in Burnished Slate

Metal roofs in burnished slate can also be an excellent choice for your garage, no matter whether it is an attached or detached one. It can even be an element to create a stunning exterior color scheme to make the house more noticeable.

The attached garage idea that you see in the picture can be an excellent example to take a look at. The type of roof used here is metal in the burnished slate color.

It is paired really nicely with brick-red siding. It looks even better because the stone material is used in the lowest part of the wall and has a compatible color that matches the roof well.

The combination of all the colors simply looks stunning. At the same time, it also warmly creates boldness.

If you are curious about the visual of the rest of the house, here it is. It is clear here that the garage is attached.

6. Burnished Slate Roofing and Natural Stone Wall for a Contemporary Look

Burnished slate color for metal roofing has excellent simplicity and boldness, making it a perfect choice for a contemporary exterior. It becomes even better since you can pair it with a broad selection of materials and colors to meet the styling.

In this next idea, the combination used is between metal roofing in burnished slate and natural stone walls in warm white.

The boldness shown by the metal roof pops even better because of the help of the wall material. As a part of a contemporary exterior design, this roofing is also excellent in the way it has minimalist value too.

7. Burnished Slate Metal and Shingles Roofing Combination

Sometimes, metal roofing in burnished slate color does not go alone. We meant that it can also look amazing when paired with another material in the exact same function.

You can see the idea in the picture above as an example. Here, the burnished slate metal is paired with regular roof shingles.

Although the metal material portion is smaller here, which is only for the front porch of the house, it does not make it less attractive. As a matter of fact, its position is at the very front, and its unique appearance makes it pop better if compared with the shingles.

Another thing that we love about it is the color that looks fabulous to be a part of the cozy transitional exterior design. It does match not only the shingles but also the stone walls and even the garage doors.

8. Porch with Burnished Slate Metal Roofing

For this idea, we can still see the combination of roofing in burnished slate paint and regular shingles. However, that is not the main point we want to show you more about here.

FYI, the porch with the burnished slate roof here is not a part of the original building of this transitional house. It is a new detail used to replace the small portico that used to be there in the exact location.

We try to say that if you have to add a porch to your exterior design, you can consider using metal material in the burnished slate for the roof. It works even if the rest of the house roofing uses something else, such as shingles, as used in the transitional residence above. Although it might not be easier to install, it can give the exterior more points of interest as well as something to catch more attention.

9. Metal Hallway Roof in Burnished Slate to Match Metal Modern Exterior

For those who plan to build a room addition for a larger living area, you must look at this idea. Here, we can also see the use of metal roofing in a burnished slate hue. More specifically, it is used for the hallway connecting the main house with the new room.

The thing that cannot get out of our minds here is that the roof is highly compatible with corrugated metal siding. Although the colors are different, their brown tones make them suitable for one another really nicely.

From a broader view, you can see how the burnished slate metal is quite visible, although it does not have too much of a portion compared to the other roof materials. Amazingly, it also looks matching with the wood siding of the hallway, which gives a rustic touch to the whole exterior.

10. Accentuating Portico with Burnished Slate Metal Roofing

If a portico is a part of your home exterior, then you should consider using burnished slate metal material for its roof, as done in the idea available in the picture. The reason is that it can make the entrance more accentuating.

This idea also works when the structure is a new addition to the house. Choosing a metal roof instead of the same material as the rest that covers the house brings a catchy detail that people will pay more attention to.

As for the color combination, you can see from the picture that this metal roof can also look lovely paired with the warm white color of the wall and the wooden tone of the portico posts.

25 Gorgeous Kitchen Garden Windows Over Sink for Herbs, Potted Plants, and Other Decorative Items https://www.jimenezphoto.com/kitchen-garden-windows-over-sink/ https://www.jimenezphoto.com/kitchen-garden-windows-over-sink/#respond Mon, 20 Jun 2022 22:28:41 +0000 https://www.jimenezphoto.com/?p=4782 The specific placement of kitchen garden windows over sink is excellent because of its benefits. It is not merely about maximizing the use of the vertical space but also some other more interesting things.

25 gorgeous kitchen garden windows over sink

LindaBrownell.com

The specific placement of kitchen garden windows over sink offers some benefits. It is especially when we compare it to when the same features are placed on any other vertical space in the same room.

Having a garden window like this is way better than having some storage shelves over the sink, or even worse, some blank wall that blocks your view whenever you do the dishes or clean the cooking ingredients. FYI, a garden window like this can function as storage because of the deeper sill, but with a bonus: the beautiful scenery outside the kitchen and extra natural light during the day.

Well, we could just put a regular window over the sink since it also offers the view and sunlight benefits. However, if you do so, you will not get the extra storage benefit you can use to store items without making the interior look too crowded. You can even grow your own herbs or other potted plants there too.

An idea to use the window as a miniature greenhouse like this is also the one that makes the specific placement perfect. When you need to water the plants, it will be very quick to get the water right from the sink. It is very efficient and convenient at the same time, isn’t it?

To make it even clearer that placing a kitchen garden window over the sink is excellent, we have collected some gorgeous examples in the following. Hopefully, these will clearly show you why the placement of the unique feature is just perfect.

Take a look at the placement of this garden window. Something like this is usually meant for using the existence of vertical space over the sink that is generally left without any wall cabinets for convenience.

Instead of leaving the wall blank, putting a garden window with a coordinating design is much better. In this case, the coordinating details come from the quartz sill top, the same as the one used for the cabinet countertops.

As a bonus, this placement over the white, undermount farmhouse sink creates a more spacious feel in the kitchen because of the vast, green scenery outside. It is a really excellent benefit for a small kitchen like this.

Although the location of the garden window is in the wall, the deeper sill makes it possible to add extra storage function in the design too. In this case, the storage also functions as a greenhouse for growing potted plants, such as the indoor vines or succulents you can see in the picture.

The following example is quite the same as the previous one in which the reason behind the placement of the garden window is to use the available vertical space over the double stainless-steel sink. However, there is a difference in this one.

Here, the garden window is placed on the same level as the sink and comes with the same countertop. There is no wall space left between the sink and the window.

This placement can give a unique benefit, especially when the size of the window is big, as shown in the picture. It provides an even more open feel to the kitchen interior.

As for those who are outside, such a window becomes a big display that is perfect for placing decorations. Here, the option goes to the large potted orchids that bring a nice tropical feel to the interior.

From this point of view, you can see clearly that the garden window and sink level are the same. It also creates a sleeker visual because of the uncut countertops.

3. Clean and Refreshing White Garden Window with Shade Over a White Undermount Farmhouse Kitchen Sink

This next garden window is placed over the farmhouse sink not only to maximize the use of the wall space. A more important reason behind it is related to the window type used here.

As you can see, the design does not only contain a single-panel window. Instead, there are three.

Besides, the window also faces the right direction where natural light from outside can pass through. It makes the placement perfect for making the interior brighter during the day.

When choosing an over-the-sink placement like this, you should not be worried about the glare. To deal with such things, you can add shades as done in the picture.

We love that the sink, the window, the shade, and even the countertops here are all in white color. It gives a clean and refreshing feel to the interior.

4. Labeled Herb Pots in White Garden Windows Placed Over Sink

The placement and design of this garden window are similar to the previous one. It is over the sink, facing the right direction of sunlight.

This spot is even more excellent because it gets enough sunlight that helps grow the herbs healthily. It is supported even better by the deeper sill, making it more convenient to place the pots.

About the herbs, which are interestingly placed inside labeled pots for easier naming, this garden window location is also excellent in a way that it is very close to the sink. This way, watering plants can be done more easily and quickly.

5. Kitchen Garden Window with Two-Tier Storage Over a Single-Basin Stainless-Steel Sink

If the wall space in the kitchen is located over a small sink, just like the single-basin stainless-steel one you can see in the picture above, a smaller garden window can be a perfect choice to consider. The placement would be excellent, primarily because of the coordinating size of the window and the sink.

If we specifically talk about the example shown in the picture, the garden window location is right because it faces the woods outside the house. It then provides an excellent view that can be enjoyed from the interior, especially when the sink is in use.

Another thing that we can talk about this placement is related more to the design and function of the garden window itself. With a shape like that, primarily because of the glass material at the top of the window, it seems clear the primary function is as a miniature greenhouse. It is proven even better because of the potted plants placed inside it.

This window location over the sink is perfect since it gains enough sunlight. It is beneficial for growing the plants and giving extra natural light to the interior.

6. A Contrasting Look of a Small Kitchen Garden Window Placed Over a Black Undermount Sink

Like the name, most garden windows are functional for indoor gardening, particularly for small to medium potted plants. The example that you see in this picture is also like that. Here, the homeowner seems to be a fan of orchids.

Because the windows are for indoor orchids gardening, the location over the sink is excellent. Water can be obtained quickly and effortlessly.

There is another exciting thing we found about this garden window design, although it is not related to the location over the sink. It is about the contrasting design from the choice of colors that adds a more attractive value to the kitchen design. As you can see, the window here is white, while the undermount sink is black.

7. Fabulous Custom French Kitchen Garden Window Over a Caesarstone-Encased Stainless-Steel Sink

For us, this example is a bit different compared to the ones we discussed earlier. Here, if seen from the design and the large size, the custom French-style window is placed over the sink not merely for using the empty vertical space above the sink, although it is true that the absence of wall cabinets makes the area excellent for it.

It is more likely that it is purposely placed over the sink to provide more natural light for the kitchen interior. As a bonus, the potted flowers also gain the sunlight they need to grow.

The off-white color of the window also becomes a good match for the Caesarstone-encased stainless-steel sink. Not only that, but it also looks good as a part of the interior color scheme. Not only that, the French-style design enhances the beauty in the kitchen area too, which is fabulous.

8. Vased Flowers in an Oversized Glass Garden Window with Black Frame over a Double-Basin Sink

A garden window like this is also excellent for locating over the sink. The reason is quite the same as the one we already stated above. Its large size allows more natural light to enter the kitchen.

The window size here is reasonable. As you can see, the Mediterranean kitchen is spacious here. In a case like this, the window is sometimes way larger than the sink.

With a size like this, placing more potted plants or other items, including decorations, over the sink is possible. In the example, the things that can be seen are the large pots containing flowers to beautify the interior.

9. Small and Medium Potted Indoor Plants in a Contemporary Garden Window Installed Over an Undermount Kitchen Sink

If you have a backsplash with subway tiles as the material, as you can see in the picture, you may know that it can sometimes make the kitchen interior look busy and crowded because of the pattern. It can get even worse when the backsplash goes up to the ceiling.

In such a situation, placing a garden window right over the kitchen sink can be an excellent solution. We said so because the window glass can break the busy pattern and gives a more balanced visual.

If you agree with a benefit like this, it will be much better to choose a garden window with a large clear window like the contemporary one shown in the picture. Something like this creates a more open look for the interior too. As a bonus, you can place some potted plants too.

10. Symmetrical Double Kitchen Garden Window over a Triple-Basin Undermount Sink with Aesthetic Faucets

Sometimes, placing a garden window over the sink is the best solution to deal with the darkness inside the kitchen area during the day. It is especially when the sink actually faces the right direction of sunlight.

An excellent example of this occurs in the picture. The kitchen seems to be a bit dark without the help of lamps.

The addition of the symmetrical garden windows placed over the triple-basin undermount sink here is just perfect. During the day, the natural sunlight can enter the kitchen area through the windows, making it brighter without turning on the lamps.

11. Kitchen Garden Window for Gorgeous Indoor Succulents Over the Sink

Having a collection of succulents often makes you want the plants to exist in every corner of the house, right? If so, you should consider placing a garden window on the empty wall space over the kitchen sink.

This placement allows you to have more potted succulents without taking any other space in the house, including the one on the floor. As we all know, floor space often functions more for other things, including furniture.

In the example above, the wall space over the sink is quite spacious for placing large garden windows. This design is attractive since it gives you more potted succulents to put on the deep sill.

12. Openable Arched Herb Garden Window Over The Sink in a Contemporary Kitchen

The same idea exists in this next example. The difference is that this one is more suitable for you if you like cooking with fresh organic herbs instead of buying ones from the market.

The unique placement of the window over the sink is beneficial. If you like cooking, you may use the other existing wall space for racks or cabinets where you can store the cooking and eating ware that you usually use.

The space over the sink that is often left empty for convenience in cleaning the dish or cooking ingredients is just perfect. With a deeper sill, you can place several potted herbs, especially the ones you use more often in cooking.

13. Glass Garden Window Over Sink with Metal Frame and Shelves

This garden window is placed over the undermount sink to give the kitchen interior at least two benefits. The first is the extra natural light to add brightness to the dark-themed kitchen. As you can see, the room gains more light because the window faces the right direction.

The second benefit is not only related to the use of empty wall space over the sink but also because of the addition of shelves in the window design. It provides more than enough space for indoor potted plants and some decorative items that are not entirely possible to put in any other spot in the interior.

14. An Eclectic Kitchen with Small Slide Garden Window Over The Sink

Based on the items placed inside it, it is evident that this garden window is meant for a miniature greenhouse. This makes the placement perfect because the availability of fresh water from the sink makes it way easier to take care of the potted plants.

If seen from the design, it seems that the garden window has a sliding opening. Again, it excellently coordinates with the placement because it makes it easier to care for the plants from the yard or garden area outside once in a while whenever it is necessary. The most common example is when you need to change the soil in the pots for even healthier plants.

15. Three Garden Windows Over a Small Sink in a Cozy Traditional Kitchen

If you see the sink’s small size here, you may wonder why it is paired with not only one but three garden windows at once. In this case, we can take a closer look at the fact that although the kitchen is not that big, it has plenty of storage spaces from all the base and wall cabinets.

Based on that, it seems that the over-the-sink placement of the garden window is meant more for filling up the wall’s blank.

At the same time, it brings the benefit of extra sunlight as a bonus. This adds more natural brightness to the kitchen interior for sure.

Another bonus is, of course, available in the deeper sill window design. It creates space for potted herbs beneficial in cooking.

16. A Stylish Garden Window with Medium Tone Wood Frame Over a Pretty White Offset Sink

Although beautiful, an offset sink like this can create an unbalanced visual in the kitchen interior. In this case, placing a garden window in the wall space over the sink can be a perfect solution.

As you can see in the picture, the stylish garden window with medium wood color creates a more balanced look. It is particularly because it arrests more attention than the offset sink does.

17. Garden Window Over The Sink as Alternative Spot for Decorative Kitchenware

Do you like collecting beautiful kitchenware, not only for cooking sake but also for decorations? Is there no space left for you to show them off?

In such a situation, adding a garden window to the blank wall over the sink is a solution you should consider. Take a look at the picture above as an example.

This garden window with a shelf becomes an alternative spot for placing the colorful and decorative kitchenware. The best thing about it is that everything is also displayed clearly through the clear glass from the outside.

18. Skylight and Garden Windows Over The Sink in a Contemporary Craftsman Kitchen

While the reason behind the placement of this garden window, which is over the undermount, double-basin, stainless-steel, is quite the same as some that we have discussed earlier, there is a design variation here different. It is the existence of a skylight window on the ceiling right above the sink.

For the garden window, this skylight offers more sunlight for healthier plants. As for the kitchen, it creates brightness as if a light is turned on in day time.

19. Kitchen Ingredients Jars And Containers on a Garden Window Over the Double Undermount Sink

Adding a garden window over the sink can also create an alternative spot for ingredients and spices jars and containers, especially if you do not have any other places for that purpose. An example of this is available in the picture above.

In a closer look, you can see a set of jars for ingredients and spices placed on the deeper sill of the garden window over the double-basin undermount sink. The sill is spacious enough to put a lot of bottles, jars, and containers at once.

If you are curious about what the garden window looks like from away, then here is the picture. It seems that this unique feature also becomes the source of light in the kitchen.

20. Rustic, Double Opening Kitchen Garden Window Over a White Drop-in Sink

Because of the roof and ceiling design, placing a window on the left side of this rustic kitchen is impossible for better light and airflow. Thankfully, the wall space over the sink is available.

For that reason, placing a garden window there is an excellent choice. It gets even better because the window is double-opening, which will provide better light and airflow. It even makes the interior feel airier.

In the example above, the owner uses the available space right over the sink to place some potted herbs. With enough light and water like this, it is reasonable why the herbs grow nicely here.

21. Teapot Collection in a Unique Kitchen Garden Window Over Sink with Drainboard

While any other wall spaces in this simple yet gorgeous kitchen are used for something functional, even the open shelving is used for placing cookbooks and recipe books. It does not seem that there is any other place available for decorations here. Thankfully, the large, panoramic garden window exists.

This feature maximizes the available vertical space over the sink with the drainboard. To be more specific, it is used for displaying the teapot collections.

It seems the garden window’s large size here is significant because it creates a more open feel to the relatively closed interior. It gets even better because of the vast green scenery outside.

22. Double Folded Opening Garden Window Over a Traditional Farmhouse Kitchen Sink

This traditional kitchen has a large garden window right over the undermount farmhouse sink. However, the main reason behind the placement of this unique feature is not for decorative purposes or indoor greenhouse.

The opening type, which is folded, seems to create a better reason why this window is placed over the sink. It is to change a closed kitchen into an open one. Something like this is beneficial for when you host an event or if there is an outdoor family gathering.

23. Decorative Potteries Displayed in a Kitchen Garden Window over an Earthy Color Sink

This garden window is meant for a display by maximizing the wall space over the earthy color farmhouse sink. At the same time, it is intended to give a more open feel, while other spots are used for the wall cabinets that provide enough storage for all the kitchen stuff.

One thing that we love about this window is the addition of built-in lights in the design. They emphasize the decorative potteries and make the window like an actual display we usually find in the museums.

24. Large, Deep Sill Garden Window Over a Stainless-Steel Sink with Unique Slope Drainer

This kitchen design is somehow minimalist. The placement of the regular windows, which because of the deeper sill, also becomes the garden window, is just perfect.

We said so because the large window takes up quite an ample wall space, making it impossible to add some wall cabinets there. Something like this suits the minimalist design very well. At the same time, it also boosts the brightness of the interior because of the natural light from outside.

25. Arched Kitchen Garden Window Over Sink Facing a Beautiful Natural View Outside

If seen from the picture, this last example of a garden window we found does not seem to be placed over the sink for extra natural lighting. As you can see, even if the picture was taken in the daytime, there is not much light entering through the garden window, which is also possibly caused by the existence of an outdoor roof right outside the window.

If that is so, what could possibly be the reason why the feature is placed over the undermount sink? Seeing the beauty of the greens outside, it seems more likely for the window to be put there so that the house occupants can always get a good scenery whenever they use the sink, which is also a good idea to consider.

It is also versatile enough to place in any part of your home exterior.

15+ Fabulous Board on Board Fence Ideas

LindaBrownell.com

Board on board fence has become a favorite among many homeowners because of its benefits.

The enclosed overlapping pattern gives better privacy. Because of this reason, it can be a good choice for you who love to keep your personal life away from your neighbors eyes.

The unique design of this fencing also makes it possible for the outer and inner sides to equally have a pleasing appearance. Something like this is not available in other fencing types, which usually only look good on one side.

Another benefit that is obtainable from the unique pattern of this fence is related to security. It can be a perfect choice for a family with children or pets.

We can say so because there is no need to worry about them escaping while playing in the back or front yard.

The solid characteristic of this fencing is another good point to consider. It makes the construction strong enough, which also means extra protection.

The last but not most minor benefit that you must know is the fence’s appearance. There are broad possibilities for the look, from painting to staining. Therefore, you can pick the most suitable one for the house efficiently.

With all those benefits, it is reasonable if more and more people gain interest in it and want to add it as a part of their exterior design. What about you? If you are curious about what the board on board fencing looks like, in the following, we provide you 16 fabulous ideas that will get you inspired.

1. Board on Board Cedar Fencing with Cap

The first idea in the picture above shows a board-on-board fencing style, specifically made of cedar. From it, you can recognize what the fence style actually looks like.

As you can see, the boards are arranged in an overlapping pattern. It leaves no gap in the fence design to give a better level of privacy.

There are at least two exciting details from this fencing that we want you to notice more. The first is about how the fencing is made to fit the slope characteristic of the ground. A plus point like this can be your point of consideration if, by any chance, you live in a place with uneven ground.

The second thing is about the cap on the upper part of the fence. It is a decorative choice that can make the design of this outdoor element way better.

2. Craftsman Style Board on Board Fencing with Wooden Gate Feature

Sometimes, a fence with the board on board style also comes with additional features. An example of this is available in the picture above.

This fence is made in a craftsman style, complete with a wooden gate for accessing the yard. It is made in the same board-on-board pattern as the fencing.

This unique feature also enhances the beauty of the fencing because it does not come plainly. On the upper part, you can see a decorative frame to match the arched shape of the wooden gate.

There is also an iron window in some kind of clover shape included in the design. It not only functions to take a peek at someone who knocks on the gate but also makes the overall appearance of the exterior elements look even more fabulous.

If you see the other side of the fence, you can see the proof that the overlapping pattern is so neat. Everything looks pleasant to see from this side too.

Other than that, you may also notice some metal posts. Something like this is sometimes added to the board on board fencing design for extra support to make the structure even stronger.

3. Fence with Board on Board Design and Flagstone Retaining Wall on the Bottom

If your property stands on uneven ground or a slope, but you want the fence to have a straighter look, you can get it. You have to add a retaining wall on the bottom, as you can see in the picture above.

This wooden board on board fencing has a flagstone retaining wall. It helps create a more even visual and a neater look.

The fence and the flagstone retaining wall also creates a contrasting appearance here. It gives the exterior design a beautiful boost.

4. Board on Board Fencing with Dog Window for Happier Pets

If you have pets at home, whether dogs, cats, or even both, adding a unique feature like the dog window shown in the picture can be a great idea. While providing protection and extra privacy to the house, you can keep your pets happy by letting them peek at the world outside the fence through the window.

The exciting thing is that this feature comes in various options and materials. The one used in the picture seems to be made from iron with a decorative design. It also comes with a wooden frame that has a coordinating look with the boards of the fence.

5. The Combination of Board on Board and Wrought Iron Fencing

It is also possible for you to pair the board on board fencing with other materials without reducing the beauty. As an example, you can take a look at the picture.

It is a cedar board on board fence with a cap on the top and a door for access. The picture seems to show the visual of the outdoor element seen from the property area.

There, you can clearly see a wrought iron fence as the match, added for the homeowners’ dogs. Although the primary materials are different, they still look good together here.

6. Board on Board Fencing Design with Decorative Iron Windows

If you love providing excellent privacy to your property, but at the same time, you do not want the fencing to give 100% coverage, this idea might be suitable for you. It is to add windows in some parts of the fence.

An excellent example of it is shown in the above picture. This fencing is cedar with the board on board styling. And as you can see, on one side, it has wrought iron windows as the features.

Something like this allows for some better airflow. Other than that, depending on the design, it can also enhance the aesthetic value of the exterior structure.

As a suggestion, if you are interested in this idea, you can add the window features on the sides where privacy is not crucial. This way, you and your family can still enjoy your personal life comfortably.

7. Cap for a Neater Board on Board Fencing

Here is another idea for you who love a neater exterior look. Actually, we have mentioned a bit about it previously. However, let us give you a more apparent inspiration about it.

The idea that we meant here is actually the use of caps that are often matched with trim. The primary function is to cover the upper part of the fence and create a tidier look.

In the picture above, you can see the use of cap and trim in the board on board cedar fencing. FYI, this one shows the view seen from outside the property land.

Here is the look of the fence on the inner side. Here, you can see how the combination of the board on board style and the use of cap and trim can create such a neat look, making the structure have a tidy look even if it is seen from inside the property area.

8. A Unique Board on Board Fencing with Lattice Screen on the Top

The design possibilities of the board-on-board fencing are pretty broad. It means there will be a lot of choices that you can consider.

The one you see in the picture is another interesting choice. It does not only have the main board on board style but also an addition of lattice on the top. Other than that, trim and cap are added to unite the fence and the screen.

While it is clear enough that the lattice enhances the structure’s beauty, it also lowers the privacy level a bit. It produces a more open sensation and avoids the property land’s closed or even cramped feeling.

9. A Pool with Board on Board Privacy Fencing

As we told you repeatedly, fencing with the board on board style offers an excellent privacy level that it becomes highly suitable for a place where the value is mainly needed. An example that we want you to take a look at here is the swimming pool.

Having a fence in this style can help you get a more relaxing quality time with your loved ones while playing in the pool area during the hot weather. For an even higher privacy level, you can pick tall fencing like the one shown in the picture.

There are several interesting details that you can find in this one. The first is that it has a rather dark color, probably from a staining process.

The second is that it has a cap for decoration and a neater look. The third is that its design is made to match the sloped ground of the property.

10. An Attractive, Medium Tone Board on Board Fence for Privacy

Board on board fencing should not always be tall. It can also be shorter than the one shown in the picture.

This fence looks very attractive with its medium tone. Something like this is not hard to match with any exterior color scheme.

About the height, it is more suitable to pick when you only need a medium level of privacy. The good thing about it is the more open and spacious feel that you will get in your exterior.

11. Board on Board Fencing with Decorative, Arched Cap

When it comes to board-on-board fencing that is completed with a cap feature, we can talk not only about the plain or simple one. FYI, this part of the fence can look decorative too.

The picture above shows you a good example. As you can see, the cap has an arched style instead of the straight one. Besides, it also has some decorative details on some parts.

Something like this proves that the board-on-board fencing style can also boost the beauty point of view despite the solidness and strength. It can help you build an even more fabulous exterior design without making it look exaggerated.

12. Darker Post Combination for a More Interesting Board on Board Fencing Design

Another design variation that you can choose for the fence in the board on board design is the one in which the posts have different colors from the other parts. As an example, please take a look at the picture.

Here, the board has a bright color. On the other hand, the posts are darker.

An idea like this is suitable for creating a contrasting look. Besides, it can help match the board design with the home exterior color scheme.

13. A Fence with Board on Board Style and Height Variations

This next design idea has similarities with others that we have discussed previously. It has a solid look. It also seems neat because of the cap and rail.

The thing that we found to be interestingly different is the height variations. As you can see, this design does not seem to be caused by the sloped ground because the front end stands on an even retaining wall.

The possibility is that it is a variation meant for a unique visual. Another possible cause is that the fence does not block the residence’s facade entirely.

14. A Sweet Traditional Touch with Arched, Low Board on Board Fencing

If you want something sweet with a traditional touch, this idea is the one you must look at. It is a 5’ board on board fencing with an arched top.

The design looks so simple. However, it allows people to see the landscape you arrange, especially right behind it. It gives a clear and solid boundary but does not block privacy entirely.

We also love the choice of wood color for this fence. It provides an excellent background to make the plants in front of it more prominent.

15. Board on Board Fencing with Boxed Posts

an example of boxed post in a board on board fencing style

Do you want a bolder design? If you do, then you must take a look at this idea.

It is the one in which the posts are concealed in a box, custom-made to match the appearance of the fence boards. Something like this is actually suitable for any height. However, the taller ones will create an even bolder look.

You can also add some horizontal rails to make everything more attractive, as shown in the picture. It will make the fence even more fabulous.

16. Columns for Fence with Board on Board Style

the attractive column with cap feature in a board on board fence design

Do you think that the design with boxed posts is not bold enough? If that is so, you must look at the picture in which the cedar fence comes with columns instead.

Although the features are only located in some parts of the fencing, they can still give the bold decorative visual that you want. It gets even better because the size of the cap is also bigger here, so it can catch more attention.

Closing

So what do you think after seeing all the board on board fence ideas above? Are you ready to make your home exterior design look even more aesthetic and fabulous?

It is reasonable if you are ready for that with all the benefits offered. However, you should not forget that everything in this world comes not only with positive but also negative sides. The same thing is applied to fencing with the board on board style.

Before deciding to use this type of fence, there are two things you must consider more. The first is none other than the cost.

If being compared to other similar options, such as the stockade fence, this one is usually more expensive. The reason behind this higher cost is the overlapping design that you must provide more pickets.

Another thing is about the finishing process, especially for the vertical boards. It is something that you must do before installing the whole structure. You must do so because it will be tricky to finish the edges on the overlapping parts after the installation.

If both of those cons are not significant problems for you, it is OK to pick this type of fencing to create borders and provide extra privacy to your property.

Refacing your kitchen cabinets can significantly affect the whole interior look.

The best thing of all is it often costs less than replacing the entire storage furniture with the new one.

It will not change the kitchen layout, so it will be a perfect remodeling choice for you who only want the refreshed look and keep the current layout that already meets your needs. Besides, the style options available for cabinet refacing are broad, so anything you want, you can get it.

In this post, we will share with you the 12 most stunning reface cabinets before and after photos to show you how the projects can really make a significant difference in updating the furniture and the kitchen look. Check them all out in the following.

1. Amazing Refacing Project for A New Contemporary Cabinets Look

This cabinet refacing was a part of a kitchen remodeling project. It is reasonable then if in the following pictures you will find that the changes are not only located in the storage furniture but also in some other parts of the cooking space.

It also proves that a cabinet refacing can save almost half the cost of the whole remodeling project since the furniture takes most space in the interior. That is why something like this can be suitable to pick when you are on a tight budget.

Take a look at this first picture of the cabinets before it gets resurfaced. We cannot find any information about the material used here, but, as you can see in the photo, it had a medium tone wood visual and a raised panel style for the doors and drawers.

Another detail that we can see here is the knobs. These were in round shape and gold color.

Other than the base and wall cabinets shown previously, another piece was located on the other side of the kitchen. It had the same color and style, but the difference is that there was a stained glass feature on the upper part.

The whole look of the kitchen cabinet after the refacing project is stunning. It is now dominated by white, creating a significantly refreshed look in the interior.

Another detail that we love is the recessed panel style of the cabinet doors. It excellently suits the new contemporary look.

If you are curious about the other cabinet, of course, it gets the same new refacing too. It even gets a new glass door for the upper part, which allows everything stored inside it to be more visible to add another decorative value to the kitchen.

The overall look of the refaced cabinets, together with other detailed changes in the makeover projects, is fantastic. Everything seems brighter and more modern. An idea like this is perfect for switching from traditional to contemporary kitchen interior style.

2. From Warm to Crisp Kitchen Cabinet Refacing

A refacing cabinet is also helpful in changing the ambiance in the kitchen interior design. As an example, you can take a look at the following project.

before reface - the old cabinets with medium tone wood, raised panels, and traditional-looking handles

Here is the picture of the kitchen cabinets before the refacing took place. The interior seemed warm because of the domination of medium-tone wood. Although the countertops were white, those did not seem to reduce the warm ambiance.

Something like this is not a bad thing, actually. However, it is very reasonable for you to desire something fresher after some time if, by any chance, you have the same cabinet styling at home.

From this picture, we can see how refacing can significantly change everything. At a glance, it only seems that the white color is everything we can find to be different after the project. However, that is not all.

While the cabinet doors are still in the same raised-panel style, if you look closely, you will find that the drawers are different. Besides, all the knobs are replaced with new ones to match the new white color.

The upper glass cabinets experience some changes too. The doors, which used to be on the side, are now moved to the front. It makes more sense now since accessing everything stored inside will be easier this way.

3. Cabinet Refacing for a More Classic Look

Kitchen cabinet refacing is not always about making the furniture look more modern. It can also obtain something like a more classic look as done in the following project.

The original cabinets have wood color for the box and white for the doors. This traditional furniture piece had a vintage look in it at a glance. Although it did have some charm, it looked pretty plain because of the flat panels.

The refacing project gives the cabinet a whole new look. As you can see here, it now has recessed flat panels for the doors and raised for the drawer fronts. Both are solid maple materials.

The color is another significant change resulting from the refacing. The cabinets now look more elegant because of the cherry finish.

The simple yet significant change is the satin nickel hardware. It makes the cabinets look so different than before.

4. A Dramatic, Fabulous Result of a Cabinet Refacing Project

Some kitchen cabinets look too ordinary or even plain, and it can reduce the beauty value of the interior. In this case, a cabinet refacing as done in the following project gives the stunning inspiration we all need.

Before the refacing took place, the function of this cabinet was for the desk and bar section of the traditional kitchen interior. As you can see, it had a light wood tone, which was just fine but could look even more stunning if only it at least had a different color.

The shape of this cabinet was unique. It effectively used the available space in a kitchen corner to gain more functions, including a desk for working or something else.

Look how stunning the cabinet looks now. The new cherry veneer and doors are the ones that give the most dramatic changes to this furniture piece. Together with the new granite countertops and the crown molding, they form an elegance that is beautiful and timeless at the same time.

If the glass insert of the wall cabinet doors used to be simply clear, the new one is more gorgeous. In a closer look, you can see that it has some kind of pattern that enhances the beauty of the furniture even better.

Other than the ones that we can see in the picture, the hinges are replaced too. Those are now in soft-close style, giving you extra convenience in using the cabinets.

5. Outdated to Timeless Cabinet Refacing

Refacing is also excellent for dealing with an outdated kitchen cabinet design. Something like this can even boost the property price if the house is meant for selling.

This traditional kitchen interior, for example, had an outdated cabinet. At a glance, it looked like it had a vintage style. Unfortunately, it did not seem to create any point of interest and even made the interior look dull.

Thankfully, a refacing project was performed to change the whole look. As shown in the picture, the cabinets get new doors, new drawer fronts, and, possibly, veneer.

The changes erase the dull impression in the interior since it now has a white color that makes everything brighter. It even looks more compatible with the stainless-steel appliances, including the new oven.

6. Modernizing a Kitchen with Cabinet Refacing

Sometimes, a cabinet refacing can only significantly change the entire look of the kitchen interior, even without changing any other things in there. In this case, you can even modernize your kitchen as done in the project shown in the following pictures.

Here is what the old cabinets looked like. It had a traditional-looking arched-style door as the pairing for the glossy wood finish.

From this after-refacing picture, you can see that everything else in the kitchen is actually still the same. Those include the countertops and appliances.

Obviously, the cabinets are the ones that look totally different here. It now has a white color with a new square raised door styling that makes the interior gain a more modern look and a brighter visual.

7. Refaced Kitchen Cabinets with Accentuating Black Glaze

You can also consider adding some glazing to the final look when refacing kitchen cabinets. It helps accentuate the details of the doors for a more stunning visual.

You can take a look at this kitchen cabinet design as an example. The simple design and brown color that it had actually looked okay. Moreover, it seemed to match the cozy and elegant interior scheme.

However, a new face can make everything look even better. In this case, the new white color from a refacing project affects the kitchen’s brightness visual.

It gets even better because there is black glazing too. It accentuates the details on the cabinet doors, making the furniture look even more gorgeous.

8. Fabulous Cabinet Refacing from Brown to Grey

Some contrasting color changes can also result from a refacing kitchen cabinets project. The one shown in the following is the example that we found.

before the refacing took place, the cabinets has brown color and arched, raised-panel doors

The brown stained color of the old version of the kitchen cabinets is the most essential detail that you must look at. You can also see that the door is on the raised-panel side with an arched style on the top part.

the refreshed and simpler cabinet look after the refacing

A simpler visual occurs after the cabinets get a refacing. The new grey color does not erase the traditional look of the kitchen furniture. Although so, it does create a more refreshed but still cozy atmosphere in the interior.

An even simpler look has also resulted from the door replacement. It comes with a flat panel instead of the raised one.

Another change is located in the handles. At a glance, it looks highly similar to the old ones, but it is different. The new handles look simpler and have a darker tone.

9. Saving Money on Creating New Kitchen Look with Cabinet Refacing

Updating a kitchen look with a cabinet reface while keeping the old backsplash and countertops can save you a lot of money. It is something we can find in the following project example.

Here, you can see kitchen cabinets with clear coats. As for the pair, there were grey and white backsplash and countertops.

After the refacing took place, you can see that the countertops and backsplash are still the same. On the other hand, the cabinets look totally different because of the white color. Doing something like this enables you to save a significant amount of cash while getting the new kitchen look that you want.

FYI, this project gets even friendlier in the budget because the cabinet boxes are not changed here. The only parts replaced are the doors and the color.

10. Bolder with Black Cabinet Refacing

Do you wish to create a bolder kitchen look? If yes, why don’t you try to reface your cabinets and color them in black as done in the project below?

Take a look at these medium-tone wood cabinets. While they looked nice and compatible with the backsplash, countertops, and floor tiles, they did not seem to be the right choice for the kitchen. That is why a refacing would be nice to improve everything.

the new face and black color after the refacing

This refacing project includes several details. The most obvious one is, of course, the new black color.

About the cabinet boxes, it seems that the project still uses the original one. The one that is replaced is the doors, which are now flat instead of raised-panel. New handles are also installed, and they somehow look compatible with new appliances added along with the refacing project.

Another detail that you should not miss here is the molding. At the top, a new crown is added, enhancing the decorative value to the next level. While at the bottom, a new choice is also added to replace the old one.

11. Refacing Kitchen Cabinets with Ebony Glazing for a Gorgeous, Rustic Look

If you see these before and after photos of a kitchen cabinet refacing project, you may think that the doors used here are the same, only with another coating. As a matter of fact, those are two different choices.

Before the refacing project took place, the doors were oak with black and round knobs. These somehow look dated, and a refacing would be very helpful in renewing the look.

After the refacing, although the door style looks highly similar, the material is different. It is now alder with natural knots that enhance its rustic visual.

Another difference results from the use of nutmeg finish and ebony glazing. The darker tone creates extra elegance in the interior.

The last but not least change included in the refacing project is the doorknobs replacement. The new ones match the new appliances placed in the kitchen from the style and color point of view.

12. Stronger Modern Visual with High-Gloss Doors and Drawer Fronts Refacing

When you buy a new house and find that the kitchen cabinets do not meet your taste, a refacing can help. An example is shown in the following project.

Before the refacing, the cabinets were pickled oak in medium wood tone. The mitered flat panel doors and the choice of drawer fronts here create a more traditional visual.

After getting refaced, the cabinets look totally different. It now has a grey color. More importantly, it has a more substantial modern feel because of its sleek, high-gloss appearance.

As shown in the picture, some other changes are found along with the new, refaced cabinets. Those include the new backsplash and appliances. Other than those, everything else is still original, such as the wall paint, floor, countertop, and even sink.

Closing

The reface kitchen cabinets before and after photos prove that such a project can really change the whole look of the storage furniture, which affects the entire interior. As a bonus, something like this is considered more budget-friendly than other alternatives, including purchasing new cabinets.

The refacing project can also help increase the house selling price before being put on the market. The best thing is that such a project does not always cost much. You can get potential buyers’ interest with a small amount of money, which means a more significant sale.

Suppose the refacing is meant to boost the residence price instead of only considering something that meets the styling of the interior. In that case, you can also choose something timeless since style changes in the future won’t affect it. Something like this can also arrest the interest of your potential buyer.

To make the success of a refacing kitchen cabinet project even more extensive, sometimes it is followed with some updates, such as replacing the countertops or updating the backsplash. Although it is optional, it does boost the compatibility between the furniture and the interior even better.

So, what do you think about refacing old kitchen cabinets? Is this the kind of project you would do in the future?

Thankfully, right now, there are quite a lot of designs available, including the ones we share in this post.

13+ Most Aesthetic Outdoor Stair Railing Ideas

LindaBrownell.com

Finding a railing for your outdoor stair may sound like a simple project. However, when you finally find out that endless options are available out there, it will not be easy to do anymore.

If you try to see it from a positive point of view, it can actually be a good thing. Anything you need, you can definitely find it.

The confusion pops out when you must choose to pick one among the others. If you really do not know where to start, something like this can consume much of your time and even give you a headache.

In this post, we will share with you 7 aesthetic outdoor stair railing ideas that contain the combination of both function and aesthetic value. Hopefully, this post can be a good starting point to make everything easier and headache-free.

1. Simple Metal Railing Painted in Black

From all the types of railing for the outdoor staircase available right now, we would like to start with a black-painted rail with a simple design. A choice like this is relatively easy to pair with any exterior style.

1.1. Black-Painted Wrought Iron Railing for a White Contemporary Outdoor Stair

As the first example, you can take a look at the simple black railing of this exterior remodeled by Jacksonbuilt Custom Homes. This element also has white posts as the details coordinating with the home design.

We know that there is nothing wrong with a simple choice from it. Just look at how fabulous this house’s whole exterior stair design is.

The black paint, Sherwin Williams Hitching Post Black DCR 108, makes the railing a suitable addition for the black and white color theme. It looks matching with the dominant color of Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lee OC-65 as well as the foundation and trim painted in Sherwin Williams Ellie Grey SW 7650.

1.2. An Even Simpler Square Tube Steel Handrail for Outdoor Staircase

Do you think that the previous idea is not simple enough? If that is so, you can take a look at this one.

This contemporary wood and pebbles staircase has a square tube black steel railing for safety value. As you can see, the design by Sion Structural and Ornamental is so simple without any decorative elements at all.

The best thing about it is that it does not block the landscape view since it does not have any balusters or panels. Something like this would be a perfect choice to create a pleasant natural experience whenever you walk through the staircase, especially when you have a beautifully-designed landscape that is just too pretty to miss.

For this example, the builder shared no specific paint information. However, it is stated that it is a semi-gloss black paint. As for the size of the railing tube, it is 1,5 by 1,5 inches.

1.3. The Pairing Between Metal and Cable in a Contemporary Deck Stair Railing Design

Simple, black metal railing can also look attractive when paired with cable as an alternative to the traditional balusters. As an example, you can look at the one created by Kikuchi + Kankel Design Group.

The railing of this deck stair pairs both metal and cable materials to create a contemporary feel that perfectly matches the residence exterior. At the same time, the combination does not block the view of the green landscape for the sake of a soothing transition from the street to the home area.

Here is a closer look at the stair railing design if you are curious about it. As you can see here, it becomes a really nice pair for the relatively spacious stairway.

2. Outdoor Stair Railing with Three Materials; Metal, Cable, and Wood

The next exciting design that we recommend you pairs not only two but three materials at once. Those are wood, cable, and metal.

2.1. The Combination of Wood, Metal, and Cable in a Contemporary Boat Docking Stair Railing

Sometimes a stair railing design can combine three different materials at once. The creation of Quigley Decks you see in the picture is an interesting example that we found.

The three materials used in this railing design are wood for the handrail, cable for extra security, and black metal for the posts. The color combination between them creates a cozy and elegant visual, both aesthetic and excellent for the natural surroundings.

Here is a more detailed look at the stair railing. With a design like this, we can freely enjoy the scenery offered by the environment. Going down to the boat docking will definitely be full of relaxing experiences.

3. Extra Light and Ambiance with Outdoor Stair Railing with Lighting

Are you looking for a stair railing that does not only offer you safety but also ambiance? If that is so, the ones that come with lighting are the most excellent to consider.

3.1. Post Cap Lighting Stair Railing Feature for a Warm Ambiance

This railing idea by Trex is unique because it includes the function of rail as a safety feature and has a beauty value that enhances the look way better. We said so because the railing post comes with an exceptional detailing called the post cap lighting.

Together with the stair riser light, it creates a glow that enhances the safety and beauty at the same time. A choice like this is perfect if the stair leads to an outdoor living area, like a deck. The warm and cozy ambiance helps create quality time with the closest ones there.

For you, who are curious about the type of stair railing used here, it is called Trex Transcend. It comes in various colors and materials to match your needs.

3.2. Brighter Steps with LED Lighting on the Stair Railing Newel

A light feature is not only possible to add to the stair railing design cap. It can also be added to the newel, as you can see in the picture above.

The stair railing you see here is made from the DesignRail Kits by Feeney. It gets the LED light feature that gives the space extra light.

Something like this is beneficial for creating an ambiance and aesthetic look at night. It also makes the first step of the stair more visible, which is very helpful when the area is quite dark. This way, people will not trip.

3.3. Stair Railing with Under-Cap LED Light

As shown in the picture, an outdoor stair railing can also have an under-cap LED light. Compared to the ones with lighting in the cap, this one is more concealed.

You can look at the modern deck stair railing design shown in the picture above. This one gets the Feeney LED lighting under the cap. The same lighting system is also used on the railing in the deck level area.

4. Natural or Unfinished Wood Railing for Rustic Outdoor Stair Design

Are you into rustic exterior design? We recommend you choose a natural-looking or unfinished railing for the outdoor stair if that is so.

4.1. Natural Wood Railing with Clear Coat for an Eclectic, Rustic Ambiance

This wonderful creation of Creative Woodworks Inc. really catches our attention. Just look at how stunning this piece is.

The wood choice looks highly natural. It even gets a clear, glossy coat to make it look even more impressive.

The thing that we think to be very unique is located in the lower end part. It looks as if it really grows from the ground.

4.2. Unfinished Wood and Cable Railing Can Create a Rustic Look Too

If you do not like the natural-looking wood railing as shown in the previous example, of course, you can choose something else. The model that we choose for you is this rustic wood and cable railing by Andrew A. Willet Architect.

It comes with a combination of two materials. Those are unfinished wood and cable.

The design may look simple. However, it has a certain charm that makes it look fascinating. More importantly, it excellently matches the exterior design of the house, which is simply beautiful.

5. Glass Stair Railing for a More Open Exterior Feel

The following choice of outdoor stair railing that can give you both function and aesthetic value is glass. It even offers a more open feeling to the exterior of your house.

5.1. A More Open and Spacious Feel with Glass Railing with Metal Posts

We choose this fabulous glass railing design by Mullet’s Aluminum Products Inc. as an example to show you. It has a combination of metal posts and glass panels. As for the steps, it looks like concrete, matching the contemporary patio design.

Another thing that we love about the glass outdoor stair railing is that it actually matches the exterior design of the residence, in which glass is one of the most dominant materials. As you can see in the picture, the railing and the stair excellently blend with the background, which is the house.

5.2. Seamless Glass Railing To Create a More Open Feel in Semi-Outdoor Area

You can choose a seamless glass railing for an even more open feel instead of others.

A stair railing like this is simply stunning. Besides, it creates an illusion that there is no railing used for the safety feature of the staircase.

5.3. Outdoor Glass Railing with Round Metal Handrail

Here is another idea by KSR Architects & Interior Designers that we cannot just miss. It also has seamless glass panels as the railing.

The difference is that it also has a round tube handrail for extra convenience and safety whenever the stair is used. The color of the handrail matches the concrete steps really nicely.

6. Bamboo Stair Railing for Asian Theme

Do you have an Asian-themed landscape? A bamboo railing will be an excellent choice for the stairway if that is so.

6.1. Bamboo Railing for Perfection in an Ancient Asian-Themed Landscape

Bamboo is always a perfect choice of materials for Asian-themed landscapes. Of course, this idea works, too, when it comes to the stair railing.

The simple yet gorgeous bamboo railing you can see in the picture is a good example. It matches the natural surroundings and looks really lovely, becoming the pair of natural stone steps and walls.

7. Outdoor Metal Stair Railing with Decorative Design

The last but not slightest idea that we recommend you to consider when thinking about railing for your outdoor stair is decorative metal. It comes in vast choices, from the ones with balusters to laser-cut panels.

7.1. A Mediterranean Exterior with Decorative Metal Stair Railing

There is nothing better than a black, decorative metal railing to match such a beautiful tile staircase as the one you see in the picture. Morrison Interiors really did a fantastic job in this one.

The decorative design of the metal railing is actually quite simple. However, it is also very fabulous at the same time. A look like this will never be worn out by time.

8. Closing

What do you think about the 7 outdoor stair railing ideas that we have shared above? Don’t you love them?

We try to say to you from all of those that, when located outside the house, a stair rail functions as more than just a safety feature. It also works as something to boost the visual of the home exterior.

If you have difficulties choosing the right one, take your time observing the style you choose for the house. You can match the railing with the exterior design to make everything look even better.

[21 Inspiring Choices] Should Wood Floors Match Throughout the House?

LindaBrownell.com

Should wood floors match throughout the house? Have you ever had this question in your mind? If the answer is yes, there is a chance that some part of you think that it would be dull or at least too ordinary to have the same hardwood flooring for all the rooms in the house.

Is it true? We do not think so.

The answer to that question is totally personal. It means preferences and different types of necessities are included as the points for each homeowner to consider.

In this post, we will share the four most common choices of wood floor design for residential needs to help you decide whether you want the same hardwood flooring for the whole interior or pick something more unique than that.

1. Matching Appearance of Wood Flooring for All Rooms

The first choice is to match the appearance of hardwood flooring in all the rooms you have in the house. It means the material, species, and even the color are all the same.

This choice is the easiest one because you do not have to experience the difficulty of thinking about the combination to pair with the wood floor. At the same time, you can get a great uniform look.

Another good thing about it is the installation will be less troublesome. The installer just needs to repeat the same pattern until all the floor surface is covered with the specific hardwood material chosen. Something like this can save money, too, because the more complex and complicated a wood floor design, the higher the installation cost will be.

We will show you some examples of interiors with uniform hardwood floors in all the rooms in the following. Although we say so, you must know that bathrooms are often excluded in such design since it commonly needs a different floor type due to the damp environment.

A Split-Level Transitional Interior with Light-Tone Wood Floor and White Walls in All Rooms

This first design example comes from an interior renovation project done by Ardesia Design. The wood floor that you see here is brand new, and it covers almost all parts of the house. Since no clear bathroom flooring images are shared, we do not know about the type used there.

This picture shows an open, split-level kitchen, dining, and living interior in which a bright wood floor is chosen. The first thing that catches our attention about this selection is how it becomes an excellent part of the color scheme dominated with neutral tones, including off-white and bright wood tones.

We also love how the wood floor choice looks compatible with the post and exposed beams. The colors are not precisely the same, but they sure complement each other nicely.

The living area is also a part of the open floor plan we talked about previously. Here, there is no change in the floor and the walls and ceiling. The difference is located in the color of the seats.

The chairs have white covers in the dining room shown in the previous picture. Here, the sofas are more on the beige side. No matter what, both choices still look amazing being paired with the bright wood floor and the neutral theme.

The uniform value of the wood flooring is at the next level in this interior. One of the most significant proofs is located in the staircase design.

As you see in this picture, the wood floor and steps here look different. However, it is the same choice. The different visuals can possibly be caused by lighting or some other factors.

This is the second floor of the house. As you can see, the floor here is also the same. From this picture, you can see how the steps also use a material that looks exactly the same as the floor.

Medium-Tone Oak Wood Floor in a Beach-Style Interior

This beach house interior designed by GMT Home Designs is the following example of a uniform wood floor. FYI, the type used here is oak with a medium tone.

a living room with matte-finished, medium tone, oak wood floor in a beach-style summer house

The first part we want to show you from this fabulous interior is the living. It has a medium-tone oak floor that becomes an excellent background for the beige L-shaped sofa, the custom cabinetry, and the standard stone fireplace.

From this picture, we also seem to find evidence that a medium tone wood floor can look fantastic being in touch with some pooping, bright color, such as the sapphire blue door that adds a refreshing touch to the beach-style interior. As a matter of fact, the floor emphasizing the blue hue is even better here.

This one is the open kitchen area that shares the same wood floor type as the one you previously saw in the living room. The countertop choice here is a smart one. Although the hue is not the same, it looks highly compatible with the wood floor tone.

The overall look gets even better because there are blue accents everywhere. Those include the rug, decorations, and even the ceiling.

Still, on the same open floor, there is a dining area complete with a table, four chairs, and a custom L-shaped bench. While everything included in the color scheme is more or less the same here, we want to focus more on using an area rug here.

When the wood floor in a home interior is in uniform design, especially when the plan is open with no walls, a rug can help differentiate the room function. Here, together with a table set, the rug shows the role of a dining room.

The mudroom of the beach house also shows the same wood floor and color scheme. The uniform hardwood floor is decorated even until the smallest corner of the house.

Lastly, we want to show you the shared kids’ bedroom. Here, we still find the exact floor type. Although so, we are sure that you also notice the massive difference in the color scheme. The cause is none other than the navy wall paint.

Surprisingly, the hue matches the medium wood tone really excellently. Together, they create an elegant neutral visual that makes the room suitable for boys and girls.

Especially for this room, we love wood accents from the rope ladder and bed rail protector. Although we all know that natural colored wood floors are pretty neutral to pair with any color, the wood accents create compatibility that makes the design even better.

Contemporary Interior with Dark Hardwood Floor

Next, let us look at the project done by Mega Builders. This Contemporary interior used dark hardwood floors, except for the bathroom.

Although the floor looks rather dark because of the wood material, it does not make the interior look gloomy. Thanks to the neutral wall paint that boosts the brightness in there.

Another thing that we love about this contemporary interior is the addition of bright colors in each room, which helps boost the cheerful value there. The first example is available in this open dining area, in which there are six yellow, patterned chairs.

Next, there is an open kitchen area with a pastel blue island. Being placed on the dark wood floor, these elements look prominent.

In the family room, there are several interesting details that we find. The first is yellow chairs that somehow remind us of the color scheme in the open dining area.

The second is about the custom entertainment center. It has a highly similar hue to the wood floor.

Next to the open kitchen dining, there is a living room. The color concept applied here is the same, in which the dark wood floor becomes the background of the neutral tones elements placed on it.

Here, we can also find the accentuating, popping color that adds interest to the design. In this case, we talk about none other than the magenta pink accents from the cushions and ottoman tables.

The home office is another place where we can find the combination between a dark hardwood floor and popping colors. Here, at least three unique colors are used as the match, including the orange ceiling and tables, the blue chair, and the green chair.

A somewhat different combination exists in this bedroom. Here, we do not find any bright and popping color matching the dark wood floor. Instead, shades of soft, calming, and even pastel purple are used here.

These choices are something reasonable, we think. The reason is to create a relaxing visual that can help gain quality sleep.

After seeing all the unique colors in all rooms in this contemporary house, we think those seem to prove something. The dark hardwood floor is not hard to pair with any hues, which is an excellent point to consider.

2. Wood Floors with Various Patterns Throughout the House

The next hardwood floor design that you can choose focuses more on pattern varieties. That is why different shades or even species are often included to create it.

An option is perfect if you are not interested in a uniform look but still do not wish to have some extreme contrast. One thing that you must remember about this design is that it does not mean that each room in the house must have a different wood floor pattern. Instead of doing so, you can just apply a distinct pattern in some interior parts only, such as for enhancing the interest or decorative value.

Versailles Parquet and Strip Pattern Wood Floor

The first example from this design category is available in the picture of the Mediterranean interior. Here, we can see a fascinating parquet done by Gaetano Hardwood floors Inc. You can see the white oak versailles pattern for the hallway with a small combination of the mahogany grid that gives an extra decorative value to the area.

Although it is not shown very much, you can still see that in the room next to it, the wood floor pattern is different, although the appearance of the material is the same. The design that you see here is called the wood strip.

Here, we can also find a trick to separate between two different patterns on the same floor without making each look forcefully cut. As you can see in the picture, it is by placing a long wood plank as the separator.

Wood Floor Combination with Herringbone and Strip Pattern

The following example is available in this entryway by David Henig Architect, located between an open living room and a kitchen. The medium-tone hardwood floor here has a herringbone pattern.

We can see a changing visual in the kitchen area. Here, the pattern is no longer herringbone but wood strips. As for the wood species and finish, everything is the same between this one and the one used in the hallway.

Stained Diamond and Strip Patterns Wood Floor Design

The last example from this category that we want you to look at is this entryway with a diamond wood floor pattern created by Archer & Buchanan Architecture. The difference between it and the previous ones is that the design was obtained from staining.

The wood floor itself is in a stripe pattern if you look closely. Two different stain colors were used to create the diamond pattern. Something like this can be an alternative to parquet.

3. Home Interior with Wood and Other Types of Floors

The third wood floor design that you can choose pairs wood and some other types of floor in the same interior. It is another alternative to pick if you do not like a uniform look.

To better understand, you can check out the following examples.

Wood and Some Other Floor Types in a Unique Contemporary House

This contemporary interior is very unique. In this case, we focus on the floor design. The type of flooring used here is multiple, although we can say that wood is the most dominant one.

For example, you can look at this split-level hall and living room. From the picture, it is evident that two different floor types are used here. One of them is a dark wood floor, and the one in the upper level is engineered bamboo.

Here is another view of the interior showing the shared split-level open space between a kitchen and a family room. The floor type used in each area here is different from one another.

The one used in the kitchen is the same as the one used in the hallway shown in the previous picture, which is engineered bamboo. As for the family room, the info says that the dark floor we see is engineered maple.

There is no specific information on whether or not it is the same as the one found in the living room. Although so, we think the looks are highly similar.

A somewhat different option exists in the home office area. Although the floor here looks like wood, it seems that it is not. It is more likely to be tiled.

FYI, this floor is the same as the one used in the bedroom located on the same floor, while another bedroom gets the engineered bamboo floor.

In the deck area, the floor design uniqueness continues. Instead of using wood only, it also has concrete as the pair.

Fabulous Transitional Interior with Various Floor Types Including Light Wood

For the following example, you can take a look at this fabulous transitional interior remodeled by Cornerstones Architects. There are at least four different floor types in this residence, including the dominant light wood floor that you can see in the picture above.

This living room has an open concept that connects it with two other functions: the kitchen and dining area. It is reasonable then if all of those share the same floor type, white oak.

Outside the open concept living room, a patio is accessible through the glass door. Here, the type of floor used is different, which is beige natural stone.

The color of this flooring type does not only match the patio wall. If the glass door is opened, it also looks good to match the interior white oak hardwood floor.

Another floor type exists in the family room. The floor used here is quite unique.

At a glance, it looks like marble. However, we think that it seems more similar to stained concrete. No matter what, the visual is stunning, and we love it.

If you want to know about how the (possibly) stained concrete floor looks, here is a closer look at it.

In the home office, we can find comfort-boosting options. It is none other but carpet flooring. The same floor type is also used in the bedroom.

Last but not least, there are tiles used in the bathroom. As we have told you earlier, although a residence has a dominant wood floor, in most cases, the bathrooms have different options to match the commonly damp characteristics. Although so, it does not mean a wood floor cannot be used in such a room at all because it can.

Cozy Atmosphere with Dark Wood, Beige Carpet, and Limestone Tile Floors

The following example by Kyle Hunt & Partners Artisan Homes has similarities with the previous one because the living room has an open concept that makes it share space with the kitchen and dining. The difference is that the floor is white oak with a finish that gives it a dark appearance.

If you look carefully, you can see that both living and dining rooms have an area rug. In this interior design, this accessory not only marks the function but also makes the space look brighter, although the wood floor’s dark tone dominates.

Another similarity is located in the bedroom area. Here, the floor type is not hardwood but carpet in beige.

If in the previous residence example, the other room that uses the same flooring as the bedroom is the home office, in this one, it is somewhat different. The family room is dominated by beige, as shown in the picture.

Lastly, there is the bathroom in which limestone tile flooring is chosen. The exciting thing is that it is paired with grey walls instead of something from warm or earthy colors. It is an excellent idea, actually, because it adds a refreshing touch to the bathroom.

4. The Combination of Wood and Other Flooring Material in a Room

The last type of wood floor design combination that you can pick is the one that pairs wood and other material in the same level and even room. Something like this can create a unique appearance, as proven in some examples in the following.

Dark Wood and Dark Grey Porcelain Combination

This contemporary dining room entry by gne Architecture brings the attractive combination between hardwood and tile in the entry design. The type of wood used here is Sapele, while the tile is dark grey porcelain that looks highly similar to metal.

This floor design seems to create clear marks between the dining area and the entryway. The best thing is that it is not presented with straight lines but curves that enhance the design interest.

Unique Combination of White Terrazzo and Hardwood in a Curvy Entry Floor Design

Something similar exists in this living room interior by Iwan Sastrawiguna. Here, we can also see a curvy combination between hardwood and white terrazzo.

The difference is that each of the materials does not create any function mark in this interior. It is inspired by yin and yang and becomes a part of the living room design. As you can see, the ceiling even has a similar look here.

Another difference is that the other material used to match the hardwood floor here is not tiles but the seamless option. The combination somehow reminds us of the beauty of the sandy beach floor.

Bathtub Area with Ipe Wood Floor in a Bathroom with Acrylic-Sealed Concrete Floor

The pairing between hardwood and other flooring material can also be found in the bathroom by Christian Dean Architecture. The picture above shows us an excellent example.

The uniqueness that we can find here is that, although it is not always like that, the hardwood is used as flooring for the wet area, the bathtub, instead of something drier. If you are curious about the material detail used here, it combines ipe wood and acrylic-sealed concrete in beige.

A Trendy Combination of Multicolor, Hexagonal Tile, and Medium Tone Hardwood

We love how trendy this open kitchen and dining room design by Annette Jaffe Interiors is. It pairs a medium-tone hardwood and multi-grey hexagonal tile.

The design is unique because the two materials’ meeting point is not made straight. Instead, it is made to match the shape of the hexagonal tiles.

Bold and Fun Medium Tone Hardwood Floor and Black and White Hexagonal Tile Combo in a Transitional Half Bath with

This transitional half bath by Dremodeling has a pretty similar design in which a medium tone hardwood floor is matched neatly with hexagonal tile. The difference is that the tile has a uniform look with a combination of black and white colors.

Something like this does not only give a bold and fun visual to the half bath. Instead, it builds up a more modern atmosphere there too.

A Contemporary Bathroom with Curve Wood and Mosaic Natural Stone Tile Floor

Look how cozy the color scheme of this contemporary bathroom interior is by Carriage House Design Inc. Indeed, this atmosphere is also supported by the pairing of dark wood and mosaic natural stone tile on the floor.

It gets even more interesting because the floor is made in a curvy design instead of a straight one. It indeed enhances the interest value in this interior.

Clean Lines in the Combination between Bamboo Wood and Multitone Slate Tile Floor

The material combination that you can see in this picture is between bamboo wood and natural, multitone slate tile. We pay more attention to the straight line in the meeting point between the two materials. It excellently matches the modern contemporary design.

This picture was taken by Jason Snyder Photographer, but the renovation project itself was done by Lauren Piasecki of the Black Cherry Design.

Columns to Add a Clearer Function in the Combination of Engineered Walnut and Beige Stone Tile Flooring

This open interior design by Noel Cross + Architects does not only show the pairing between two different flooring materials, which are engineered walnut hardwood floors with custom stains and beige tile. It also shows us that columns can build up a more apparent border without covering the space, like when we use walls.

If the interior is quite spacious, this idea is fascinating to do. As you can see in the picture, the combination of the columns and the two different flooring materials separates the hallway from the room next to it more transparently.

An Open Kitchen with Grey Tile That Is Different from the Natural Cherry Wood Floor in the Dining Area

The main idea shown here is more or less the same as what we have shown you earlier. Although so, we cannot just miss the attractiveness offered in this open kitchen and dining design by Studio On Cedar LLC.

It shows the use of other flooring materials to pair with wood. Here, the combo consists of natural cherry wood and grey tile.

While the interior is dominated by medium wood tone, the existence of the grey tile here adds a spark. It complements the wall paint and balances the space with mostly warm colors.

A Rustic Kitchen with Reclaimed White Oak Floor and Unique Warm White Color Tile for the Cooking Area

This rustic kitchen interior by Period Architecture Ltd. looks unique because of the warm white color tile floor near the cooking area. The exciting thing is that the rest of the kitchen has reclaimed white oak floors instead.

A design like this can be an excellent choice if you worry about the cooking process that can sometimes result in spills or other things that may damage the hardwood floor. Besides, it is also perfect for easier cleaning, depending on the material that you choose for the cooking area.

Dark Hardwood Floor with Multitone Natural Stone Tile as The Pair

Halfway seems to be one of the most common choices to match hardwood floors with other materials. Here we found another fabulous example by Fratantoni Luxury Estates LLC.

Although there is no detailed information about the materials used for the hallway or entry floor, it does not reduce how stunned we are with the visuals. We love the contrasting look resulting from the color difference. It creates an elegance for a better visual experience when passing the hall.

Two-Tone Diamond Pattern Tile and Dark Hardwood Floor Combination in a Contemporary Entry

Each flooring type shows a different function in this entry design photographed by VI360 Digital Imaging. The first is the two-tone, diamond pattern tile that marks the hallway, and the next is the dark hardwood floor that shows the seating area.

5. Closing

When you question should wood floors match throughout the house, the answer backs again at you and what you need the most. Just like what we have explained here, there are actually 4 different choices available, each with endless design combinations that you can try.

For an easier choice, you can think carefully about how you want the floor design to be. Will you emphasize the decorative value or the function more? Question yourself about all sorts of possible questions that will help you decide.

No matter what, each selection has its own uniqueness that can boost your interior visual to a higher level. So, which one do you think is the best option for your house?

[34 Images] 5 Splendid RV Garage with Living Quarter Inspirations for A Comfortable Staying in a Limited Space https://www.jimenezphoto.com/rv-garage-with-living-quarters/ https://www.jimenezphoto.com/rv-garage-with-living-quarters/#respond Thu, 02 Dec 2021 00:26:42 +0000 https://www.jimenezphoto.com/?p=4554 RV garage with living quarters is more than just a place to house your recreational vehicle. It provides essential functions that make it a place to live in or at least a comfortable area where your guests can stay while sleeping over for a day or two or even more.

5 Splendid RV Garage with Living Quarter Inspirations

LindaBrownell.com

When you hear the word ‘garage’, we are really sure that you will directly think about a particular spot in a residence where you can house vehicles, like bikes, motorcycles, cars, and others. The fact you must know is that not all only provide this housing function.

An example that we want to bring up as the main topic of this post is an RV garage with living quarters. What is it?

Just like the standard function of a garage, this one is also the same. The difference is that it is for housing a recreational vehicle.

Another difference is that it comes with living quarters. When a residential RV garage comes with this special feature, the space usually functions for guests, particularly those who sleepover, or a temporary living place.

Are you curious about how an RV garage with the special feature of living quarters looks like? Below, we have 5 excellent examples of it. Read further to know all of them and all the uniqueness included.

1. A Rustic RV Garage with a Guest Quarters and Complete Facilities

The first example that we want you to take a look at is the creation of Western Design International. It is a rustic RV garage that seems to be located in a valley with mountains as the view.

Just like the primary function, the first floor of this building is dominated by housing for the recreational vehicle. The exciting thing is that the main floor also functions as a shop and a space for hobbies.

For the design, the stained wood material makes the rustic impression even obvious. Besides, it is also suitable for the mountains and woods environments.

The exterior also comes with greyish green for the doors and trims. This hue adds a refreshing touch that, again, is matching with the environment really well.

On one side of the building, there is a stair. It connects the side door of the first floor to the second floor and the balcony area.

Although it is pretty high, a railing is included in the design. This element increases the safety value while going up and down.

Entering the second-floor area, you will see an open-style space with three main functions. Those are living, dining, and cooking. These are everything needed in the daily life of the guest while staying over.

In the interior of the guest quarters, some entertainment values are found too. For the details, there are old-style television and radio.

In the background, you can see a door connecting the interior and the balcony in which there are some seats. A place like this is perfect for enjoying the time when the weather’s friendly or even at night.

This RV garage and guest quarters are also completed with a bedroom. However, we are not sure whether it is located on the first or on the second floor of the building.

This room is suitable for up to two occupants. It has simple yet comfortable elements and a color theme.

The living quarters feature that is in unity with an RV garage is not always located on the second floor above the vehicle housing. It can also be on the same first-floor level as you can see in this gorgeous grey, black, and white building by C. Hall Construction, Inc.

While most floor space seems to be used for the RV garage and workshop functions, it also has an apartment building, which amazingly has complete features to support a comfortable living.

Entering the building from the front door, we can see an open floor with large windows on one side. We know that in the picture, there is no furniture piece seen. However, a space like this is perfect for combining living and dining areas together.

If seen from the other side of the room, we can see a door right next to the front entrance. The fact that it has an entry indicates that it could be for a place that needs extra privacy, such as a bedroom.

In the open floor space, there is another detail that we love the most. It is none other but the open kitchen.

It is not just a small one. It is a full-size kitchen. It even comes with complete base and wall cabinets, a dishwasher, a standard sink, a cooker, and a microwave.

For completion, you must know that the fascinating living quarters also come with a full bath. Although the room is relatively narrow, it does not seem to lose any comfort value.

The arrangement of each element here is fascinating so that every function is obtainable regardless of the limited space.

At one end, we can see that there is an enclosed shower. A toilet is concealed with a wall so that it is not fully seen from the sink area.

This picture shows that the full bath also comes with a double sink instead of the single one. It seems this place can also function as a restroom because of the existence of this plumbing fixture.

This bunkhouse and RV garage by 360 Construction & Design has everything you can dream of about a holiday home. From the outside, it may look relatively small and limited. However, once you enter it, you will know the reasons why we said so.

There is a living area in the center of the open floor with two sofas and a coffee table. We love how there are also windows here, giving a more open feeling to the relatively small interior.

From this point of view, we can also see a restroom with a rustic sliding barn door and a master bedroom dominated with red at the very end of the guest quarters.

Still, in the living area, we can see a television included for entertainment value. Right below it, there is a wet bar making the place perfect for adult dwellers.

Here is a sneak peek at the public restroom door we saw in an earlier picture. There are no other pictures of its interior shared, but there may be a toilet at the other end of this room. If that is so, it is then suitable to call it a powder room.

An addition like this boosts the convenience when spending time in the living area. It is especially when there are some guests over.

Other than the powder room, this living quarters also has a ¾ bathroom. Something unique about it is that it is accessible from both the hallway and the master bedroom.

The existence of two entrances here makes it more convenient for all occupants to access the bathroom area. As shown in the pic, there is even a double-sink that would be perfect for kids to brush their teeth together.

As a ¾ bathroom, the room does not only come with a double sink and a toilet. As you can see in the picture, it also has a shower room.

We love the choice of a glass door here because it does not make the room look cramped. At the same time, it also prevents water from splashing all over the place and creating some mess.

As shown in the picture above, this detached garage comes with two vehicle doors. One is made taller to fit the common characteristic of an RV.

The exterior is dominated by timber, cedar siding to be precise. It emits a relatively strong rustic impression because of it.

At the back, you can see that the second floor of the building comes with a balcony. A feature like this can complete upper floor living quarters, adding an alternative living area to the limited space.

From this view, we can see that two garage doors are precisely the same as the ones shown in the front part. While those are functional for vehicle access, there are still double-opening swing doors on one side of the building providing a more convenient entrance for humans.

The interior of the RV garage is quite spacious, and it can accommodate up to three cars. This area also functions as a workspace, FYI.

There is a curved staircase accessible from the garage interior to connect the first and second floors. There are two details about this element that catches our attention the most; log steps and decorative iron railing.

There is also a corrugated metal surround with a combination of copper and black color to complete the staircase design. It excellent matches the rustic design of the building.

Last but not least, this RV garage that is completed with living quarters in the design is made by Barn Pros. This detached building is not only functional for housing an RV or other vehicle but is also versatile enough for other necessities.

From the exterior design, we can see that the color scheme is fantastic. The most dominant hue comes from the wood siding. Besides, the black color of the garage doors, beams, and exterior trims give such a beautiful contrast to the building. For perfection, there are grey roof shingles at the very top.

This is how the garage looks when the tall doors are opened. While one side is clearly functional for housing a vehicle, including when the type is an RV, the homeowners use the other side for storage. It is where the versatile value comes from.

The primary function of this RV garage and living quarters is guest accommodation, including when there is a family gathering. The existence of extra space in the garage is very beneficial since various items can be stored there.

One example that you can see in this picture is golfing equipment. Right behind that, you can also see other items for kids playing.

Upstairs, there is an open space in which three different room functions are in touch without being separated by the walls. These include the kitchen area, dining, and living room.

At the back, you can see that there are two rooms with sliding barn doors. The functions of those rooms are not shown clearly. However, they can be bedrooms.

We do love how the kitchen area gains enough natural light from the gorgeous single-hung windows. The choice of wood countertop does match not only the grey cabinets but also other wood elements in the interior.

When talking about the appliances included there, it is pretty complete for living quarters. As you can see, this kitchen has a side-by-side refrigerator, microwave, cooker, and dishwasher. All those are enough for a comfortable stay.

To complete everything, there is also an island with stools. It functions not only as a place for preparation but also as an alternative breakfast table.

the dining area with long table and enough chairs for everyone

Just like the kitchen area, the dining table also gets enough sunlight from the sun. The long table here is enough to accommodate up to eight people at once.

We love the choices of decorations placed here, including the oversized wall clock, the hanging lamp, and the potted grass. Especially for the centerpiece, we love how it matches the natural atmosphere resulting from the domination of wood elements there.

Not all pictures of the bedrooms in the living quarters are shared. However, this one, which seems to be the master bedroom, seems enough to imagine how the interior of each room in the building more or less looks like.

Just like the open-stile area we talked about previously, we can still see a dominant wood siding material here. Together with simple decorating, it creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere for a night of quality sleep.

This bedroom also has windows, making it possible to enjoy the outside view right from the bed. There is nothing better than seeing natural scenery when you open your eyes in the morning, right?

the elegant bathroom vanity of the living quarters

Lastly, we want you to take a look at this bathroom vanity. Everything included in the design boosts the elegance of the interior.

We specifically love the pairing between the table-style vanity. It becomes the element that matches all other wooden detailing in the whole building.

Closing

From the five examples of RV garage with living quarters that we have shared in this post, there is one similarity found. It is a fact that vehicle housing can also serve another function to expand the space for living.

In this case, we are not only talking about the second floor but also the one located on the same level as the RV garage. As you can see above, there is an example where the living quarters are also located on the first floor.

The sure thing is that creating an RV garage design with extra space for staying is just incredible. It functions when there are some guests over and when there is not enough space available for all the residence’s occupants.

So, if you have an RV, are you interested in building this kind of garage to park it?

17+ Most Awesome Wood Look Garage Doors You Won’t Believe Are Faux

The visuals offered by genuine wood garage doors are undeniably fascinating. It is even better because it is also highly customizable, and at the same time, it is considered a dent-proof material.

However, all those are not enough for some people to make the doors an option to consider.

The reason is none other but the disadvantages that naturally come together with the benefits. These include the fact that genuine wood garage doors need high maintenance, often cost higher, are not durable enough when not getting regular water sealant, and lastly, often come with insulation issues.

Thankfully, right now, there are a lot of wood look garage doors available. These are none other but the ones made with the look of genuine wood. Some even come with grains too, but not accompanied by all the complicated upkeep.

The types of material and style for this kind of garage door are various. As examples, we will present you with some of the best garage doors that you will not believe are not from genuine woods.

All those come from some fantastic manufacturers and makeover companies who decided to do a makeover. Read further and find the best ideas that may inspire you to determine the next type of garage door to get.

This first product comes from Clopay, a quality door manufacturer with more than 50 years of experience. The garage doors that you see in the picture above really look like these are made from genuine wood with windows medium staining, right?

As a matter of fact, these are not. The wooden visual comes from cladding, overlay, and a staining process. If seen from the information shared on their official website, the finish we see here seems to be ultra-grain oak walnut or oak dark from their premium collection.

If we look at the doors closely, we can see some paneling lines. From there, it seems that this entrance has an overhead opening or something like a sectional one.

Take a look at how the garage doors look like an excellent addition to the white farmhouse exterior. We will never guess from such a distance that these are faux wood instead of the real ones.

The following excellent example still comes from the modern steel collections of Clopay. This time, the faux wood garage door is a part of a modern, contemporary exterior design.

Talking about the general design of the residence seen from the outside, we love how the dark wood finish looks matching with the visual of the cedar siding used on the second-floor exterior. Together, both elements create a dark and elegant touch to the multi-tone design.

About the looks, it also comes with the Clopay signature walnut ultra-grain wood finish. As for the windows, it has frosted glass that can give light without exposing privacy.

This other creation of Clopay shows a fabulous combination between a white exterior and faux wood appearance in steel garage door design. FYI, the look here results from the use of mahogany cladding and overlay.

Although the doors are very possible to have a sectional opening, we love the detailed addition that makes them look like they have a swing opening instead. Those include the black handles and hardware, which also look coordinating with the wall lantern sconces.

Paint Tile Floor to Look Like Slate: An Amazing Inexpensive Alternative for Interior Update https://www.jimenezphoto.com/paint-tile-floor-to-look-like-slate/ https://www.jimenezphoto.com/paint-tile-floor-to-look-like-slate/#respond Sat, 06 Nov 2021 22:23:12 +0000 https://www.jimenezphoto.com/?p=4496 Paint tile to look like slate can be an amazing option that you can choose when having an interior update plan. Instead of selecting the real slate flooring, this option is better, particularly when you provide a limited budget.

Paint Tile Floor to Look Like Slate: An Amazing Inexpensive Alternative for Interior Update

LindaBrownell.com

Updating the flooring in your house can cost you a lot of money. The reason is related to the fact that the floor is one of the most extensive parts of any interior.

The situation can be quite problematic when the money you provide for the update is limited. In this situation, it would be best for you to find an alternative to still get what you need without having to pay more than the budget you have.

An example that we will bring up in this post is to paint tile to look like slate. Compared to purchasing the natural slate floor, this can be a better alternative, especially when you see it from a cost point of view.

Read this post further if you want to know why painting your current tile flooring can be a better alternative than installing a brand new slate option. We will also share some fascinating projects done by creative homeowners to get you inspired.

1. Why Faux Slate Tile Is a Better Choice Than the Real One

Before getting inspired, first of all, we want you to know why faux slate made by painting existing tile floors is a better choice. In this case, we cannot separate the talk from some facts about the metamorphic rock.

When made for tile floors, slate is actually a good selection. Its high popularity comes from its very durable characteristics.

Besides, people also love it because of its unique value as well as attractiveness. For houses with a radiant heat system, slate tile can also be an excellent choice to consider. With all the advantages it has, it is even considered an option to boost real estate value.

When we see it from the positive point of view, slate tile is an excellent option to think about when you want to update the interior floor. However, you must not forget that it, indeed, comes with some disadvantages too.

All the best quality slate tile comes with a price. As a matter of fact, its price is expensive, so that it will not have the budget-friendly value you are looking for to get the interior update.

Other disadvantages of it are also still connected to cost. These include the difficulties in replacing or repairing it, the need for sealing to prevent staining, and the more significant difficulties in DIY installation.

On the other hand, painting your current tile flooring is a highly considerable alternative. The first benefit is that you do not have to remove the existing flooring to do the project. This point already helps you to save effort and money.

When done correctly, you will get the slate look on the floor as the final result. It is genuinely eye-deceiving in a positive way.

Another benefit that you must not forget is that by doing such a project, you will not lose all the qualities and characteristics that you love from the old flooring. For example, if the existing tile floor is ceramic, you can still get all the natural benefits and, at the same time, get an attractive slate appearance.

The last but not least point that we love about the idea of painting the interior floor to look like genuine slate is the higher chance for you to do it in a DIY project. It has been proven by some creative and talented homeowners in the inspiring projects in the following.

2. Some Project Examples to Get Inspired From

Here, we will show you some inspiring projects that we found. They seem to prove that painting existing tiles can result in a fascinating slate-like look too.

Besides, they also prove that with a simple painting, an outdated or cheap tile floor can be ‘changed’ into something amazing. It can even give you the expensive visual of natural slate without wasting you much money.

2.1 Painting Old Ceramic Floor to Get Slate Appearance

The first project is from House Tweaking. The project was focused on the hallway and entry in which the original floor is reddish-brown ceramic.

While the straight herringbone pattern and the 70’s vibe are the things that the homeowners find of, the reddish-brown tile color and the darkened grout became the reasons why the update took place in the first place.

The exciting thing about this project is that the homeowners were also concerned about the project cost and all the waste resulting if they had to remove the existing floor first. Getting inspired by some similar makeover, they finally decided to paint the tile instead and get the slate appearance they wanted.

This picture here shows how the new slate-like floor looks like. In the project, there are two types of paint and a sealer used. Those are French Linen Chalk Paint for the grout, Graphite Chalk Paint for the tile, and Annie Sloan Lacquer Matte Finish for the sealer. All these are from The Purple Painted Lady.

Like any other tile painting or repainting project, this one was also started from a proper cleaning. It is a must if you want the final result to be excellent.

After cleaning, the next step was applying a new color to the grout. It was then followed by the color of the tile by the graphite chalk paint. The last but not least step is applying the sealer to enhance the look and durability.

The whole process was completed not in a day but several. The reason is that some time is needed between steps for a more excellent result. The example was the time between cleaning the grout painting or the coloring of the grout and the tile paint application.

Here is the close-up look of the tile floor after getting the update. The final result is so satisfying. It emphasizes the straight herringbone pattern even better. Besides, it also gives a more natural slate-like look to the entry and hallway tile floor.

2.2 Fascinating New Slate Look on Builder’s Grade Kitchen Floor Tile

The next project was done by Our Old Place. Here, the painting was done to give the original beige builder’s grade kitchen tile a new look. For us, it seems like another proof that new paint color can change the floor appearance to something unique that even looks like the actual slate.

We do not say that builder’s grade tile floor is a wrong choice because it is undeniably a good and inexpensive starting point, mainly when there is a strict budget limitation.

However, we cannot lie that it comes with some disadvantages too. An example that is suitable for the topic of this post is the look.

This was something that the owners of the kitchen shown in the picture above wanted to change. The solution they picked was painting the tile floor with a darker color that makes it look like slate.

Compared to the previous project example, this one used more products to get the slate appearance on the kitchen tile. Those include; Fresh Earth BCP14 Behr Chalk Decorative Paint, Farmhouse White BCP09 Behr Chalk Decorative Paint, Rust-Oleum Home Floor Coating, Annie Sloan Lacquer Matte Finish, and Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover Premium Latex Primer.

We think the new slate-like look creates a cleaner look on the kitchen floor. It even affects all the kitchen elements above it, including the white cabinets with black countertops.

Generally, the dark yet clean hue of the floor somehow makes the room brighter. We really love how the contrast visual between the new floor and the cabinet is formed here.

Here is a closer look at the final result. The new paint color really changed the whole appearance of the beige builder’s grade kitchen floor.

2.3 Tan Builder’s Grade Bathroom Tile Floor to Faux Slate

This last project example that we found is from The DIY Vibe. Here, the original floor was also a standard builder’s grade tile. The difference is that the one that gets the makeover is the kids’ bathroom.

At first, the floor color was tan, as you can see in the picture above. The project here is meant for making the tile floor more attractive by painting it in a slate color.

There are actually at least four different products used in this product to obtain the natural stone look. The first is Slate Gray 1-Part Epoxy Concrete and Garage Floor Paint by Kilz, the second is some different craft paints used by the homeowners to get the natural slate look, Semi-Gloss Transparent Varathane Elite Floor Finish by Rust-Oleum, and the last is regular paint for the grout.

This project also shows the beautiful and contrasting appearance between slate grey from the floor and white from other upper elements, including the walls, door, cabinet, and sanitaryware.

Again, it creates a clean look that we think is perfect for the bathroom. It also seems that white seems to be one of the best color to pair with slate grey too.

4. Closing

The idea to paint tile floor to look like slate is a clever solution to deal with budget limitations to makeover an interior. Remembering that the cost for replacement can be pretty expensive, this idea becomes a saver you can pick so that the update you want is truly obtainable.

Another best thing that you should never forget is that you can do everything yourself in a DIY project, as proven in the three outstanding examples we mentioned earlier. It is another value that makes the budget-friendly value even better.

You even do not have to worry about removing the existing tiles first since it is not necessary. in this case, it makes painting a better option even when compared to other alternatives available to make the floor looking like slate, including installing new tiles with faux natural stone look.

If you worry that the result will be far from durable, we have a suggestion that you can do. Here you can try to do a small research first by searching for more and more project examples.

It would be better if you find ones that also show detailed information not only about the products they use but also the steps such as two from the three examples that we present you here. Following the correct instructions from the right people will lead you to the best final result.

Other than that, you can also try to find more pictures of interior designed with slate-like painted tile floor to get even more inspired. This way, there is a bigger chance to get the best look that is the closest to the one you want.

One last thing that you must remember is to apply a sealer to the painted tile floor. This is the best decision to increase the durability of the final result. Although it is inexpensive, it will be better for it to last longer, too, right?
