Just as with fashion and cars, home décor trends can change over the years. The changes are not usually so drastic from year to year, so trends tend to last a bit longer when it comes to home design, but they are still trends, and that means that they will eventually fade out. Just take a look at a photo album with pictures from your childhood. Is there any doubt that the kitchen, living room, or den that you see in those pictures are from a bygone era? If you are considering kitchen remodeling in Oceanside CA, consider whether or not you want to do it again in 10 years. If you are the kind of person who wants to display all of the latest styles and designs in your home, your general contractor in Oceanside CA will be able to remodel your kitchen so that it is up to date in every way. However, if this remodel is intended to last for quite a while, talk with your general contractor about creating a more timeless look that does not rely too heavily on trends and fads.
One of the current trends is to update a kitchen with lots of bright colors in citrus shades like orange, lemon, and lime. For some, this splash of color is limited to the walls. Others have mixed and matched with various colors on walls and cabinets. Still others have gone all out in a citrus explosion of paint, cabinets, and appliances. Many of us shudder to remember the avocado and harvest gold kitchens of the 1970s. Your general contractor will be able to advise you on how to best incorporate a judicious use of color in your remodeling project.
Another trend that has really caught hold recently is to build a “cookbook” shelf into the kitchen that is designed to hold a tablet computer such as an iPad rather than a traditional cookbook. Such shelving units can also be designed by your general contractor to be a docking station for all small, portable electronics. Again, it is a great and useful idea right now, but as quickly as technology changes, it may not be an iPad or your laptop that you are turning to for recipes in five years. Do not limit your options by becoming too wedded to current technology that may not be current tomorrow.
Many homes are stylish and well-decorated without falling into the category of soon-to-be-outdated. Your general contractor in Oceanside CA will be able to help you incorporate décor styles and trends in a way that will last or that can be easily and inexpensively changed in future.
