Interior Finishes: The Ripple Effect
kmills
Ever notice a ripple effect when you update a finish in your home whether its the flooring, walls or countertops?

Neff kitchen cabinets

You start with what seems to be a simple update to your interior and then suddenly realize that your newly finished floors, walls or whatever you’re replacing doesn’t look that great with the rest of your outdated interiors.  What do you do?  If you’re like most homeowners you’re caught offguard and often get thrust into a remodel of the entire space. 

To avoid costly mistakes or unplanned major remodels,  I recommend consulting with a professional designer first to ensure the new finish(s) coordinate with your existing design and make sense with your home.

If you’re looking for new finishes, the possibilities are endlessfrom  beautiful laquered kitchen cabinets with a holographic finish that change colors depending on where you’re standing to
