Happy New Year!!!

Classic Remodeling NW Inc. is busy this year and it has been great. Yes COVID put a damper on things but we were able to get back into the office after the shut down and continue working which has been so wonderful. Going through the holiday season we are staying busy and are looking forward to your phone calls after New Years for your remodeling projects. We know you don’t want us in your home now but when you are ready to call us we will be ready to meet with you. Bathrooms and kitchens are normally the main focus around the winter and going into spring season, as it is pretty cold outside most do not want work done outside yet. So if you need that kitchen, bathroom or master suite remodel, give us a call so we can come meet with you to start the process.  We offer complimentary consultations, so give us a call at 425-224-2004. We would love to hear about your remodeling ideas.

5 Kitchen Designs Rules You Should Definitely Break In 2021

[realtor.com: Ana Durrani]

If you’re anything like us, you’re feeling more than ready to finally be done with 2020 and dive into 2021. And one of the best ways to ring in the new year with (besides Champagne) is a fresh look and new décor.

That’s why we’re back this week with five of the hottest looks on Instagram that will transform your space, this time with an eye on the bathroom. After all, what better place to get a fresh start than in a place where we’re all scrubbing away the stress of 2020?

So what are you waiting for? After such a tough year, it’s time to turn your bland bathroom into a spa oasis you deserve. If you’re ready to take on 2021, here are five styles to help you do it.

Retro Green Tile

We’re seeing a resurgence of retro styles, and this fresh green look is no exception.

“Green is the new neutral, and with wonderful benefits,” says Michelle Harrison-McAllister of Michelle Harrison Design. “This color plays well with both warm and cool tones, making it great for any style. Geometric tile patterns add a hip vibe to any bathroom, not to mention the color itself boosting feelings of calmness, renewal, and harmony.”

Bath-Sode Mural

If a bold artsy statement you’re looking for in the new year, then look no further than this bath-side mural trend.

“Murals have proven to be the high-impact art option for bathroom decor,” says Harrison-McAllister. “With so many options to choose from, we’re no longer restricted to permanent tile design detail. Self-adhesive ones from Etsy give you a custom bathroom design that is upscale and also makes you feel like you’re in a fancy European spa.”

Double Sconce

Add some old-world sophistication to your bathroom in the new year by upgrading your light features to a double sconce like this one. 

“We’re seeing big influence from midcentury modern and art deco styles with these minimalist, brass double wall sconce,” says designer and CEO Mark Wood of National Pool Fences. 

“Overhead bathroom lighting can be harsh and uninviting, and installing a double wall sconce can give a more soft, flattering light,” says Wood. “It’s also the perfect way to bring more light to a smaller space, and makes the room feel more relaxing as if you’re in a five-star hotel.”

Eclectic Wall Art

If big, bold statement are your vibe for 2021, then you’ll love this artsy bathroom design. 

“Try mixing up different art mediums, styles, and eras to help create a well curated, personalized bathroom decor,” says Harrison-McAllister. “This doesn’t have to cost you a fortune either. Simply mix up pieces from Target, Minted, or even yard sales add a unique style element to your bathroom.”
Bathroom Barn Door
 
Last but certainly not least is one of the most unique design elements we’re taking with us into the new year: this bathroom barn door.

“One easy way to personalize your home decor style to a quaint cottage vibe is to switch out your classic bathroom door for a barn door – styled one,” says Harrison-McAllister. “These barn doors are a simple yet impactful change that will leave people wondering if you designed your whole home.”
