finishes cycle out. Kitchens and living areas are
being designed to communicate a more relaxed
and lived-in vibe, with saturated colors, natural
finishes like rattan, real houseplants, and handfinished
pieces, like imperfect handmade tiles,
finding their groove in a 2021 home.
A glut of new kitchens and baths are being
built and are in the queue at F&S Building
Innovations, says Smith, who notes that before
the pandemic, families were often rushed at
dinnertime and grabbing takeout, or having
easy meals. " Suddenly, everyone was in the
kitchen during the pandemic, cooking and
eating together and having family time and
people discovered what wasn't working in the
kitchen for them, " she says.
Smith is now often taking space from a
small dining nook or breakfast area to add in
more kitchen functionality, with more storage
or a larger island. " The island has really taken
the place of the separate breakfast nook, " Smith
says.
Janelle also thinks that the sudden shift to
cooking and entertaining at home has changed
what people want from their kitchens. " The
polished show-piece kitchen was impossible to
maintain, and clients are now craving natural
finishes and hand-crafted pieces in the kitchen,
and imperfect, aged finishes that signal 'it's
okay to relax and be at home here.' " I
In this Tera Janelle-designed living area, a sofa console
doubles as a desk space. Moving forward, expect to see
more multi-functional rooms in homes.
REVIVE YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE ON A BUDGET
A backyard worthy of Houzz or Pinterest can
be a major investment, but you can revive an
existing porch or deck without emptying your
bank account.
Get an outdoor rug. You can find these
at big box stores and online, and they lend a
softness to the hard surfaces of a deck or porch,
and can be hosed off when dirty.
Replace worn cushions. Cushions exposed
to the elements take a beating, so consider
replacements to punch up existing furniture.
Set up a firepit area. Choose an area of
your yard without overhanging trees, and add
some Adirondack chairs and a portable fire pit.
Define the area with mulch or pea gravel for a
more permanent set-up.
String cafe lights. Cafe lights bring the
ambiance with a warm, after-dark glow. String
them along a fence post, over a patio or wrap
them around your deck railing.
