Not every home starts with sprawling square footage–but with the right design strategy, even the smallest rooms can feel open, airy, and intentionally styled. Whether it’s a compact bathroom, a cozy bedroom, or a tight kitchen corner, thoughtful remodeling choices can completely change how a space looks and lives. Here are some of the most effective ways homeowners can make small spaces feel bigger without sacrificing style or functionality.

Choosing the right flooring for a basement is completely different from choosing flooring for the rest of your home. Basements deal with unique challenges–moisture, humidity, temperature fluctuations, and limited natural light–so the material you pick needs to be as durable as it is beautiful. If you’re planning on a remodel or finishing an unfinished lower level, here are the top flooring options that actually perform well in basements.

When it comes to designing a luxury bathroom that looks beautiful for years and holds up to daily use, choosing the right materials matters just as much as choosing the layout. Moisture, humidity, heat, and cleaning chemicals create a harsher environment than most homeowners realize. Here are five luxury materials for a high-end bathroom that performs well and stays low-maintenance.

When it comes to remodeling a kitchen, layout matters just as much as materials. You can choose the most beautiful cabinets, premium appliances, and high-end countertops – but if the layout isn’t functional, the space will never feel right. Over the years, we’ve seen the same layout mistakes pop up again and again. The good news? They’re all avoidable with thoughtful planning and expert guidance.

Color is one of the most powerful tools in home design. It sets the tone, influences mood, and shapes how a space feels the moment you walk in. Whether you’re drawn to the inviting warmth of creamy neutrals or the crisp serenity of cool grays and blues, understanding color temperature can help you create a home that truly feels like you. At KBUILD, we believe great design isn’t just about how something looks – it’s about how it feels. And color is where that feeling begins. 

A home remodel is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make – not just financially, but emotionally. You’re trusting a team with your space, your routines, and your vision of what “home” should feel like. That’s why choosing the right remodel or build partner is every bit as important as choosing the right design. Here’s what to look for when selecting the team that will bring your project to life.

As we wrapped up another incredible year, our team came together to celebrate not just the projects we completed – but the people who made them possible.

Your outdoor living space is more than just a backyard – it’s an extension of your home. Whether it’s a full outdoor kitchen, a cozy patio, or a fire feature that brings people together, it deserves to be cared for just like the spaces inside. As the temperatures start to drop, taking time to properly winterize your outdoor area will protect your investment and make sure everything is ready to enjoy again when spring arrives.

Sometimes, the most impactful changes can come from the simplest upgrades. Paint is one of the most effective (and affordable) ways to breathe new life into a home – redefining spaces, enhancing architecture, and reflecting a homeowner’s unique personality. Whether it’s a full interior refresh or a subtle color shift, the right paint choices can completely transform a space without tearing down a single wall.

A kitchen isn’t just a place to cook – it’s where life happens. It’s where families gather, where conversations linger long after dinner, and where design meets daily living. At KBUILD, we believe a kitchen should be more than functional – it should be inspiring. Every element, from the layout to the lighting, should reflect your lifestyle and bring a sense of warmth and beauty to your home.

When it comes to remodeling, many homeowners fall into the trap of chasing quick fixes or the latest design trends. While trendy features can make a home feel fresh in the short term, they often fade quickly, leaving you with spaces that feel dated or impractical within just a few years. A remodel designed with purpose, however, goes beyond appearances. It creates a living space that is timeless, functional, and built to serve not just your current lifestyle but the needs of the future too.

Cabinetry is more than just storage – it’s one of the most impactful design elements in your home. Whether in the kitchen, bathroom, mudroom, or living space, the quality and style of your cabinets set the tone for the entire room. While prefab cabinets may seem like a quick, cost-friendly option, custom cabinetry offers long-term advantages that prefab simply can't match.

Lighting is one of the most powerful yet underrated design elements in any home. The right lighting can make a small space feel larger, create a cozy atmosphere, and even highlight the craftsmanship of a remodel. Whether you’re refreshing one room or undertaking a full home renovation, choosing the right lighting is key to setting the mood and functionality of your space.

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as seeing a space completely transformed. A great remodel not only changes the way a home looks but also how it feels and functions. At KBUILD, we believe every project tells a story, from the very first walk-through to the final reveal. Today, we’re sharing an inspiring before-and-after transformation that shows what’s possible with vision, craftsmanship, and a dedication to excellence.

When it comes to luxury living, storage is more than just functionality–it’s about creating spaces that look beautiful and fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Whether it’s a custom walk-in closet, a well-designed mudroom, or built-in cabinetry, tailored storage solutions can dramatically elevate your home’s value and day-to-day comfort.

When homeowners think about renovations, their minds often jump to large-scale projects, such as knocking down walls, adding square footage, or completely gutting a kitchen or bathroom. While those upgrades can be transformative, the truth is that sometimes it’s the smallest changes that leave the biggest impression. Strategic, small-scale renovations can breathe new life into your home, boost its value, refresh its style–all without the stress or price tag of a full remodel.

When you picture your “Forever home”, you’re imagining a space that not only meets your needs today but continues to serve you beautifully for decades to come. A truly timeless home balances function and adaptability–offering a place where you can create memories, grow, and relax without ever feeling the need to move again.

Your backyard has the potential to be more than just a patch of grass — it can become a private sanctuary, a vibrant entertainment space, or even an extension of your indoor living area. With the right design and craftsmanship, your outdoor space can offer the same level of luxury, comfort, and style as the inside of your home. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful place to unwind or an entertainer’s paradise for hosting friends and family, a well-designed outdoor retreat can elevate your entire home experience.

Choosing tile for your kitchen may seem like a small detail–but it plays a big role in how your space looks, feels, and functions.
