Odd Design Details (that matter)

  1. Select a Kitchen venthood that will actually get used (not too loud but effective (adequate CFMs)). Turning-on the venthood prior to cooking, during, as well as 10-15 minutes after the cooktop is off, allows for smells, grease, and heat to be evacuated out of the surrounding space thus improving the indoor air quality.

  2. Magnetic locks can be hidden on cabinetry for discreet safety or privacy (such as for child-proofing, jewelry storage, access to alcohol, etc.).

  3. Toilet risers can be purchased for homeowners not wanting to replace an existing toilet but needing a taller overall seat height (for accessibility with aging, injury, growing kids, etc.).

  4. Carpet runners on wooden stairs not only absorb sound, add interest in color and pattern, and provide softness underfoot, but they are a must for safely navigating wooden stairs sans shoes.

  5. Decorative P-traps are available in different styles (bottle) and finishes to add a decorative touch on open/ exposed vanities.

  6. When remodeling or building a new home, take into consideration upgrading light switches and outlets for cohesion with the surrounding materials.

  7. Schluter profiles can be used as minimal trim pieces for flooring transitions and tile detailing instead of bulky saddles or raw tile ends.
