Search results for "Improve flow" in Home Design Ideas

Tired of doing laundry in an unfinished rugged basement? These homeowner's were as well! They contacted Castle to help them with their basement planning and build for a finished laundry space and new bathroom with shower.
After the designer and client walked through ideas to improve flow of space, we decided to eliminate the existing 1/2 bath in the family room, and move the new bathroom into the existing laundry room. The full laundry room was finished to include new walls, ceilings, new plumbing, new Adura luxury vinyl tile flooring, beautiful shaker style cabinetry with beadboard panel, Glossy white Cultured marble countertops, a new Blanco composite sink, and Kohler Bellera faucet.
In the new bathroom space, we continued the Adura luxury vinyl flooring. Finishes in the bathroom include Kohler Memoirs pedestal sink, Kohler Archer faucet, custom hex tile shower floor, subway tile walls, and custom frameless glass shower enclosure.
Additional improvements were made to improve the health of the home including asbestos tile abatement, new drain tile and sump pump, new spray foam insulation, new glass block window, and a new Panasonic bathroom fan. We also decided to save and restore some original pieces in the home like their existing 5-panel doors and repurposing one salvaged door into a pocket door for the new bathroom.
The homeowner completed the basement finish with new carpeting in the family room. The whole basement feels fresh, new, and has a great flow. They will enjoy their happy and healthy home for years to come.

Atascadero bungalow gets a much needed update. We removed the dropped ceiling and peninsula creating an open space that flows into the dining room. The monochromatic color scheme adds to the feeling of spaciousness and the large island allows this family to congregate and visit in the kitchen during meal prep, something that couldn't happen in the former kitchen layout.

We created an open concept floor plan between the family room and kitchen to improve the traffic between the spaces. The Mercier maple species hardwood floor marries the two areas so they flow together seamlessly.

A family of five living in a Chantilly, Virginia, neighborhood with a lot of improvement going on decided to do a project of their own. An active family, they decided their old deck was ragged, beat up and needed revamping.
After discussing their needs, the design team at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes developed a plan for a covered porch and a wrap-around upscale deck. Traffic flow and multiple entrances were important, as was a place for the kids to leave their muddy shoes.
A double staircase leading the deck into the large backyard provides a panoramic view of the parkland behind the property. A side staircase lets the kids come into the covered porch and mudroom prior to entering the main house.
The covered porch touts large colonial style columns, a beaded cedar (stained) ceiling, recess lighting, ceiling fans and a large television with outdoor surround sound.
The deck touts synthetic railing and stained grade decking and offers extended living space just outside of the kitchen and family room, as well as a grill space and outdoor patio seating.
This new outdoor facility has become the jewel of their neighborhood and now the family can enjoy their backyard activities more than ever.

The owners of this 1950s colonial on Philadelphia’s Main Line wanted to preserve its traditional architecture and take advantage of the kitchen’s ample footprint. In addition to reworking the floorplan and improving the flow, the owner wanted a large island with several seating options, a desk area and a small table for dining.
One of the design goals was to transform the spacious room into a functional kitchen that still felt intimate and comfortable for everyday use. Furniture style inset cabinetry kept the room in tune with the home’s original character and made it feel less utilitarian. Removing the wall that hindered the flow and views between the kitchen and the adjacent family room ensured that the main entertaining areas flowed together. Stylistically, we wanted to avoid the typical white kitchen, opting instead to pull in rich wood tones to create a warmer and more classic look.

BEFORE
This small kitchen was inaccessible from the existing dining room. The rooms adjacent to the kitchen were needing natural light and improved flow. Opening the wall between the spaces, updating all the systems, finishes and reworking the layout turned this outdated space into as sensation shabby-chic redux!

Before this remodel the support pole seemed like it was right in the middle of traffic pattern. I moved the refrigerator from the opposite kitchenette corner and ran the counter tops in a 'U' shape and created a peninsula that added seating, increased the counter space, improved flow in and out of the kitchen and removed the nuisance of the support pole.

Homeowner wanted to open up the existing outdated kitchen and incorporate it into shared space with existing sunroom. Small spaces, if designed well can provide ample storage, improved flow, better access to natural light and feel expansive! Documodern Photography

This hall was crafted from an old bathroom and improves the flow between rooms. The hall functions as a butler's pantry providing much needed storage and prep space for these perennial entertainers. The curved cabinets provide a sense of openness and transition as one enters the upper floor stairs.

This galley style kitchen was redesigned with 18 inch cabinets, high gloss finishes, and crystal chandeliers for improved storage, work flow and an opulent look.

Opening up the floor plan improves sightlines and allows natural light to flow into both the dining and living rooms. Carefully proportioned cased openings, custom millwork, and consistent flooring tones create a sense of visual continuity that ties the new space back to the home’s original Craftsman charm.
