Decorative wood beams offer a distinctive way to add architectural detail to your room and/or ceiling, as well as create warmth and depth. Including wood beams in your new custom home design will add both form and function.

Thinking of remodeling? Due to the innovative construction of these beams, they can also be added to existing homes. The results will enhance your space and give it new life!

The beams come in a variety of specialty woods and styles. A custom stain can be applied to match any existing décor. For additional detail, rustic hardware (clavos, strap hinges and decorative nails) can also be incorporated.

When compared with high-end floor coverings, such as ceramic tile or slate, stained concrete is frequently a low cost alternative. And the life expectancy of a concrete floor will surpass most floor covering materials.

The low maintenance needs of decorative or stained concrete also make it appealing to many homeowners. In most cases, just regular sweeping and damp mopping will keep the floor looking like new for many years.

This kid-size white floral-shaped sink really pops against a vibrantly colored wall. Color is a guaranteed way to liven up a kid’s bathroom. Brightly painted walls can make a huge impact and it’s easy and inexpensive to change colors. The same goes for towels, rugs and other bath accessories. They can energize your theme and be easily changed as children grow.

Recently, clients have requested bath fixtures that are sized for kids. Some fixtures (including the sink pictured below) are designed for young children, which can be safer than using a step stool. These “right-sized” fixtures also allow for greater independence.

As with all bathrooms, safety is a primary concern. The faucets should have anti-scald devices in place for both sinks and tubs. Slip-resistant flooring is also a must. And using practical surfaces will make the clean up process less cumbersome.
