SURPRISING COLORS YOU WOULDN’T THINK TO PUT IN YOUR KITCHEN When it comes to redecorating the kitchen, it’s not surprising that we tend to play it safe. After all, the kitchen is usually the most-used room in the house. Since a full-on kitchen remodel is costly, it often makes sense to opt for a classic color scheme that you won’t tire of too quickly or that won’t become dated when the next trend emerges.

That said, the kitchen is also a great place to let your creative juices flow, and a new paint job will dramatically change the look of your kitchen without breaking the bank. And, if and when you’re ready to move on, repainting is easy. So if you want to be a little bold, think about choosing one of these not-so-neutral color schemes to give your kitchen a brand new, stylish look: MATTE BLACK. If your kitchen has a lot of neutral wood accents, lightcolored tile or large windows that let in a lot of natural light, you can add a sleek, dramatic touch with a matte black paint for walls and/or cabinets. This shade of black works well with modern farmhouse and contemporary designs.

TEAL. For a fun and slightly retro look, consider teal for your cabinets or backsplash. This soothing shade of green/blue goes particularly well with white countertops and appliances.

You can add more whimsy with brightly colored small appliances, like a yellow toaster or pink mixer.

ORANGE. Nothing beats the warmth of a healthy dose of orange in your kitchen. Whether you opt for a soft creamsicle or a deep tangerine shade, an orange wall or backsplash goes great with white or natural wood cabinets.

You can add more pizzazz with navy or cobalt accessories and glass.

PINK. Not just for little girls’ rooms, pink is a pleasing, fresh color for kitchens, too. You can experiment by painting just your kitchen island pink—a great counterpart to white or wooden cabinetry—and carrying the theme through with pink curtains and kitchen linens.

To get even more creative, mix and match colors in your kitchen, painting lower cabinets one color and upper cabinets another. Or paint a wooden floor in a colorful geometric pattern. You can also add an unexpected pop of color with a retro fridge or stove in bright blue or red. Explore online for more great kitchen color options!

REMODELING ON THE RISE IN 2021

The strength of the current housing market—combined with continued working and schooling from home for many—is sparking an increase in home improvements and repairs. Whether you’re planning to sell your home or adapting it to better suit your family’s needs and tastes, the time is ripe for remodeling.

According to a recent report, the “Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity” (LIRA), released by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Har vard University, annual gains in spending for improvements and repairs to owneroccupied homes are expected to increase slightly this year, from 3.5 percent at the close of 2020 to 3.8 percent by year-end 2021.

The LIRA provides a short-term outlook of national home improvement and repair spending to owneroccupied homes. As Chris Herbert, managing director of the Joint Center for Housing Studies says, “The remodeling market continues to benefit from a strong housing market. In addition to routine replacement and repair projects, homeowners are likely to pursue more and larger discretionar y home improvements this year as the broader economy recovers.”

The most popular improvements on the docket this year for homeowners include projects that make life more efficient and enjoyable, such as: UPDATING THE KITCHEN. While a full kitchen remodel may not be within your budget, you can still modernize your kitchen by replacing the floors or backsplash. Painting kitchen cabinets is an inexpensive way to give your kitchen a design refresh, or invest in a new appliance or two to instantly improve functionality and add value.

ADDING A DECK OR PATIO. More attention is being given to outdoor living space than ever before. Extend your family’s living area by installing decking or creating a spacious patio. Outfit your new outdoor space with comfortable patio furniture, a fire pit, water feature, kitchen set-up and more.

CREATING AN EXERCISE SPACE. Many have taken their exercise routines out of the gym and into the home, so car ving out a functional, designated space to work out is a popular home-improvement trend this year. Whether it’s a corner of the basement or unused space in your garage, designing an area specifically for fitness is an on-point trend.

TRADITIONAL VS. OPEN FLOOR PLANS: W hi ch One Is Rig ht fo r Yo u?

For years, open concepts have been touted as more conducive to modern living, yet traditional floor plans certainly have their own benefits, particularly for those who are spending lots of time at home. If you’re trying to determine which is right for you, read on to find out what each one has to offer.

OPEN FLOOR PLANS

TRADITIONAL FLOOR PLANS

Great for Entertaining. One of the main arguments for an open layout is that it’s ideal for hosting small get-togethers with friends and family. Combining your cooking, living and dining areas makes it easy to communicate and interact with everyone.

Distinct Spaces. The way that we use our living space is always changing. These days, many luxury buyers are looking for a home where they can work remotely and their kids can learn virtually. If you want separate rooms that are free of distractions and can be used for distinct purposes, a traditional floor plan may be the better fit.

Provide Versatility. Often centered around a large, multi-purpose area, open concept homes offer a lot of flexibility.

You can create different spaces, such as a workstation, a reading area and even a media room, all in the center of the home.

More Natural Light. With fewer walls, sunlight is able to flood your home from all angles. If you want a living space that feels bright and airy, an open floor plan will most likely have the edge in this department.

More Privacy. Rather than having one main space where the family congregates, this layout provides more privacy throughout the home. For those who like to have their alone time, this is certainly a benefit. Additionally, it can make your home quieter because there are more walls to absorb noise.

Easier to Decorate. Decorating a multi-purpose space can be a challenge when it comes to getting the flow right and might even require having furniture custom made. Rooms that have a specific purpose, however, are much easier to furnish because the space is more defined.

4 ITEMS YOU MAY WANT TO INSURE BEFORE MOVING

Even when everything goes according to plan, moving is pretty much guaranteed to be a stressful process. If something gets lost or damaged, however, it’s only going to get worse. That’s why it’s important to make sure that certain luxury items are insured before they’re packed and transported to your new home.

While homeowners insurance will usually cover you in the event of a break-in or natural disaster, such as a fire or hurricane, you could still be liable for anything that happens while moving. Moving companies, on the other hand, can be held liable to replace or fix a damaged item if you purchase full-value protection, though you’re not guaranteed to receive full compensation because you’re usually only covered up to a certain amount. For items of extraordinary value, which are defined as being worth more than $100 per pound, it can be a good idea to purchase separate insurance to cover you while moving. Here are a few items that luxury homeowners frequently opt to add coverage to.

JEWELRY

ARTWORK AND ANTIQUES

TECHNOLOGY

For a valuable art collection, it’s quite common to purchase property insurance in addition to your homeowners policy. Even if you’ve already done this, though, you’ll want to check and see if it covers moving, as it’s entirely possible that damage that occurs in the back of a truck is not included.

A state-of-the-art home entertainment setup, complete with an ultra-high-definition television and high-fidelity audio system, can easily set you back tens of thousands of dollars. These items are far from indestructible, but they are replaceable. With insurance, you can enjoy peace of mind should anything happen en route to your new abode.

Perhaps the easiest item to “mysteriously disappear,” it’s always important to take proper precautions with your jewelry collection when moving. Be sure to have highvalue pieces appraised beforehand and, for items that are truly irreplaceable, you may want to hire a special jewelry shipping service, or carry it with you.

WINE All it takes is a bump in the road or a slam on the brakes, and a rare bottle of wine could be lost to the move.

Hopefully, you won’t find yourself unpacking any winesoaked boxes at your new home, but, given the fragile nature, it’s smart to insure a valuable collection.

FINDING A HOME WHERE THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN THRIVE For many luxury buyers, the perfect home is often one where your family can maintain a sense of balance. It’s a place that’s designed for work, play and living a healthy lifestyle all under one roof. Ideally, this will provide a stress-free environment that promotes both physical and mental well-being. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, here are several features to keep in mind when searching for your next home.

DESIGNATED WORK SPACES An office or study is important for parents who work from home because it allows them to escape distractions and plugin for the day. It’s also necessary, however, for the little ones to have their own workspace where they can study and get their schoolwork done. Unfortunately, a high-traffic area, like the kitchen table, can be a difficult spot for kids to stay focused each day.

ABILITY TO EXERCISE Whether it’s a fully-equipped home gym or access to nearby walking trails, everyone feels better when they’re able to incorporate some exercise into their daily routine. Being active isn’t just about staying fit, but also reducing stress and sleeping better at night. This is especially important for children because it instills healthy habits in them at an early age.

ACTIVITY SPACES We all likely spend too much time staring at screens, even though we know it’s not great for us. It’s easier to be more productive with your free time when your home caters to different activities. Setting up a space for your hobbies, like a music room or a painting studio, for example, can help to offer relaxation at the end of each day. A recreation room with games for the whole family is another fun way to put your phones down and reconnect once everyone’s finished their work.

OUTDOOR AREAS Everyone feels better when they can get outside for fresh air. For the kids, that usually means having a backyard where they can run around and play.

Parents, of course, might be more interested in a well-designed seating area with a view where they can relax, grill or entertain friends and family. The right space will depend on your specific needs, but there’s no denying the importance of having ample outdoor space to enjoy nature.
