She suggests, “The vibrant blue shiplap infuses this bedroom with a nautical essence, offering a cost-effective and striking DIY transformation.” This idea of a blue shiplap accent wall is a compelling example of that. By painting your shiplap wall blue, you can effortlessly evoke breezy and nautical vibes in your bedroom, reminiscent of the ocean.

Huong’s insight further reinforces the potential of this DIY project.

The Truth About Using One Flooring Type in an Entire House

The word of the decade is simplification, and that is precisely what is happening within interior design. Where walls once separated every room in our homes, we now have open floorplans that showcase unobstructed spaces and bright light. This is possible because of how contractors and designers have encouraged the selection of one flooring type to extend through the entire house. https://upgradedhome.com/should-flooring-be-the-same-throughout-the-house/ The obvious benefits include better resale value, cohesiveness, and seamless transitions, but where there are positives, there will always be negatives to consider.
We asked our interior designers to share their take on this current trend and prompted homeowners who have implemented this advice in their homes to share their experiences. The greatest takeaway is the necessity for water-resistant flooring in spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, but the overall feedback was positive, encouraging a continuation of this theme in future builds and renovations. Make sure you read on to get all the best advice for installing the same floor throughout your house.
