Search results for "Maintain consistent" in Home Design Ideas

The kitchen in this 1950’s home needed a complete overhaul. It was dark, outdated and inefficient.
The homeowners wanted to give the space a modern feel without losing the 50’s vibe that is consistent throughout the rest of the home.
The homeowner’s needs included:
- Working within a fixed space, though reconfiguring or moving walls was okay
- Incorporating work space for two chefs
- Creating a mudroom
- Maintaining the existing laundry chute
- A concealed trash receptacle
The new kitchen makes use of every inch of space. To maximize counter and cabinet space, we closed in a second exit door and removed a wall between the kitchen and family room. This allowed us to create two L shaped workspaces and an eat-in bar space. A new mudroom entrance was gained by capturing space from an existing closet next to the main exit door.
The industrial lighting fixtures and wrought iron hardware bring a modern touch to this retro space. Inset doors on cabinets and beadboard details replicate details found throughout the rest of this 50’s era house.

The client wanted a better flow throughout their landscape, as well as introduce straight lines to a space to modernize the irregular shaped pool.
Their upper deck was where they did a majority of their entertaining so ensuring this space was large enough for both dining and lounge was the starting point of the design. Introducing privacy from the many on looking neighbours, without completely blocking it off from the rest of their own yard was important. Laser cut privacy screens added this filtered privacy.
A round hot tub was added to the back corner of the property, which otherwise seemed like wasted space. Highlighted by the privacy panels in the same pattern used on the deck to create some consistency.
Trees were both maintained and added where needs along the property to add greenery and privacy. The entire space now feels open within the backyard, but private from neighbours.

BEFORE photo. This project consisted of lightening the colour of the hardie and brightening the trim! The house was already beautiful to start with, but this update was totally worth it and made for super happy clients!
Invest in your high-end hardie board for the long haul. Our coating boosts protection & fade durability to keep your siding looking its best.
Hardie Board is incredibly durable and is one of the most expensive types of siding. While it requires very little maintenance, it is porous and can still absorb water. The best way to maintain your investment and prevent replacement is to waterproof your hardie board with a high-performance paint for siding.

Warm wood-paneled bathroom passage frames a clear view toward a brighter adjoining dressing or bedroom area. Flush wood doors and trim create a continuous architectural envelope, contrasted by a curved white vanity at the edge and a partially visible frosted glass shower panel. Pale floor tile and recessed lighting keep the narrow transition open. The composition shows how consistent millwork can visually connect multiple functions while maintaining a calm, refined contemporary atmosphere.

This eclectic space is infused with unique pieces and warm finishes combined to create a welcoming and comfortable space. We used Ikea kitchen cabinets and butcher block counter top for the bar area and built in media center. Custom wood floating shelves to match, maximize storage while maintaining clean lines and minimizing clutter. A custom bar table in the same wood tones is the perfect spot to hang out and play games. Splashes of brass and pewter in the hardware and antique accessories offset bright accents that pop against or white walls and ceiling. Grey floor tiles are an easy to clean solution warmed up by woven area rugs.

The remarkable Greek inspired indoor pool facility has a blend of contemporary rectilinear components with Greek-Roman architectural elements and finishes, such as the over-extending, ancient-style aqueduct that transitions from the spa into the pool, and the hand carved fire-water features at each end of the room. The aqueduct is a key relevance to the style which portrays an ancient cultural method of elutriating stagnant bath water with a continuous supply of fresh water. Each elaborately hand carved feature sets a mood of Greek architectural expression in this space. The two fire-water features at each end of the pool and all of the column structural support depict a ‘Doric’ style consisting of channeled columns. Also, to enhance this space with a full perspective of Greek-Roman style, the convex ceiling depicts a vision of an opened-ceiling that reveals a fully animated Greek-mythological star setting created by fiber optic lighting. Geothermal technology is the primary source for heating and cooling the pool and spa. Although they appear to be one body of water, they are independent so the spa can be maintained at 103degrees all year round.

Cleaning your pool shouldn’t be like a house chore. It needs to be an easy and simplified task for all. With epoxy pool paint, maintaining a sparkling pool surface is a breeze. It is not like other paints and finishes. Unlike porous finishes, epoxy paints create a smooth, non-porous surface. It helps to repel stains and prevent algae growth. This means less time spent scrubbing the pool walls and more time spent managing the pool.
Resilience against wear and tear
From pool parties to daily swims, it is your pool that is consistently exposed to dirt and tear. Thankfully, with the application of epoxy pool paint, this challenge has been tackled. Epoxy pool paint is equipped with durability and can protect the pool walls from high temperatures or the rigorous barriers of daily use. With epoxy pool paint, you can easily say good-bye to chips, cracks, and other fading for many years.

As part of this full house renovation in Upper Lonsdale, North Vancouver, the staircase was reimagined as a modern architectural feature connecting the home’s primary living levels. Solid hardwood treads were installed with precise alignment and consistent stain tone to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding flooring.
The guardrail system features tempered glass panels secured with stainless steel standoffs, paired with a brushed metal handrail for both structural integrity and refined visual continuity. Careful attention was given to anchoring points, hardware spacing, and finish transitions to maintain a clean, contemporary aesthetic while meeting building code requirements.
This staircase renovation demonstrates Arani Construction’s expertise in structural upgrades and finish-level execution across North Vancouver full home renovations.

This angle highlights the pantry’s role as a true support space for the kitchen, offering expanded storage, additional refrigeration, and a secondary sink for prep and cleanup. Open shelving keeps everyday items within easy reach, while closed cabinetry provides concealed storage to maintain a clean, organized appearance.
The layout allows the pantry to handle overflow during entertaining, keeping the main kitchen uncluttered and calm. Durable finishes and easy-to-clean surfaces ensure the space remains practical while still feeling consistent with the rest of the home’s design.
Designed with long-term use in mind, this pantry adds flexibility and efficiency to daily routines — a behind-the-scenes space that quietly elevates how the home functions.

In this exclusive villa project in İstanbul, architectural elegance meets Serapool’s refined aesthetic, creating a sophisticated swimming area. The Serastone Series blends the texture of natural stone with modern design, crafting a serene atmosphere around the pool. Its soft tonal transitions integrate harmoniously with the architecture, enhancing the sense of luxury. The Serastone outer trim ensures visual and functional continuity at edge transitions, offering a seamless aesthetic. With a water absorption rate below 0.5%, the surfaces provide long-lasting durability. The tiles exhibit high resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and sudden temperature changes. A PTV ≥ 45° slip resistance value elevates the safety standard in wet areas. By maintaining design consistency across all details, this project delivers not just a swimming space but a refined living environment where aesthetics, safety, and comfort coexist in harmony.
