Unique features to include in your home renovation

Investing in a home renovation can be exciting, but it also involves careful planning and design to ensure you get the results you dreamed of. If you’re renovating, add your personal touches with unique features that reflect your style and benefit your lifestyle!

Four Elements Construction, a top renovation company in Edmonton, share some ideas that can help make your home stand out:

Wine or whiskey cellar under the stairs

If you have space under your stairs, use it! Wine or whiskey connoisseurs can transform the often-overlooked space under your stairs into a stylish cellar for their collection. Custom cabinetry can be designed to store your collection, with racks for bottles and shelves for glassware. Add a small countertop for pouring and tasting if you have the space in or near the cellar. If you want to take it to the next level, invest in temperature controls for the space to ensure your collection is always at optimal temperature.  This feature maximizes your space and adds a sophisticated touch to your home.

Unique lighting and glass in cabinets and countertops

Lighting and glass can dramatically change the atmosphere of your kitchen or basement wet bar. Under-cabinet lighting can highlight countertops and provide practical illumination. As shown in the photo, you can also highlight your bar or kitchen island with lighting. For a modern touch, use glass shelves or cabinets with glass doors to display your glassware and decorative items. Backlighting glass panels can also add a stunning effect, making your space look elegant and inviting. Four Elements Construction can help you with their comprehensive design and custom major renovations in Edmonton.

Use distinctive materials for a natural or industrial look

Materials like natural stone, brick, steel, and wood can transform your home with an industrial or natural aesthetic. Exposed brick walls add texture and character, perfect for living rooms or loft spaces. Steel beams and fixtures give an industrial edge. On the other hand, natural rock can bring a natural look and create a focal point in the room. In addition, reclaimed wood can be used for flooring, accent walls, or furniture, adding warmth and a unique, timeless look.

Build with wood beams and posts.

Who doesn’t love a vaulted ceiling with exposed natural wood beams? They create architectural interest and a sense of openness in the space. Plus, you can get creative with your beams, depending on the style you’re after. For example, rustic wood beams give the farmhouse look, while smooth modern beams give a contemporary feel. Posts can be integrated into staircases, room dividers, or decorative elements. They are functional and add a cool look to your home.
