A BEAUTIFULLY DEISGNED
DAY

Storage Solutions

  Pulling into the driveway signals freedom and sanctuary, it has been a long day at work and home is just so appealing.  The vehicle gives a beep as it locks, the keys jingle to the front door and that familiar sound of home fills the air.  Things are getting better until the kitchen comes into view…

Dishes from the night before are in the sink, leftover breakfast is still out, the cat knocked over all the spices lined along the stove and the dog found the trash bin…again.
​
The kitchen is the most used room in the house, why should it not fit your lifestyle? LA Home solutions work closely with Rev-A-Shelf to ensure every kitchen is fit for the lifestyle of the home.  Just look at this amazing closet we completed! Our biggest challenge was getting the new cabinetry to match the already installed cabinets - we had a near perfect match!!

​Children and pets can get into anything, which is a fear most parents have.  Rev-A-Lock Cabinet Security uses a powerful magnet lock that can attach to wood, glass, metal, and particle board cabinets for a “guaranteed safeguard”.  It is easy to use too, just hold the provided magnet key against the cabinet door to disengage the lock.

Using Rev-A-Shelf we can hide the garbage and recycling inside a cabinet drawer, put spice rack in a hidden area by the stove, or just help keep your cabinet organized. 

There are so many options that can transform your space, at LA Home Solutions we can show you those options and find the right one for your home and lifestyle.  Come visit us today, or book an in-house consultation.

Thinking of Renovating? Start by picking a floor!

​Why do we renovate?
 
As humans we change in many ways, and sometimes we want our space to reflect that.  Do any of you remember when the colour combination “hot pink/Lime green” was the hottest thing?  I do, and at the age of 12 I felt so cool with my Lime green bedroom walls and pink carpet.
 
A favorite saying of mine is “I am not what I have done, I am what I have overcome.” – author unknown.
 
Whether it be growing up, reaching a new state of mind, moving into a new place, or the space is damaged and needs some TLC. We want our spaces to reflect us and what we have done.

​ Flooring is a fantastic “update” that can change a whole room’s atmosphere without spending a fortune. There are so many flooring options to 
choose from: Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), Luxury Vinyl Plant (LVP), Tile, Hardwood, Capet, Cork, Laminate, Linoleum, etc.… No matter what product you are looking at, there are always price ranges, varieties of colour, and styles.
​So how do you decide?  Here are 4 easy steps to help you:
 
  • Location.
Where is this space located in your home?  Certain materials work better in different environments, and by taking into account the room usage you can narrow down your search.  
You would not want a hardwood floor in a space that was regularly wet as hardwood expands and contracts, becomes soft when wet and can begin cupping, however a hardwood floor could be just what you want in a bedroom or dinning room.
 
  • Consider what do you want your space to reflect.
What happens in this space, is it lively, quiet, just for storage, or in a high traffic area.  Different materials hold up better than others in certain situations.  A glue down luxury vinyl tile(LVT) can sometime begin cupping in front of a large window due to the heat – A click version could work to a better advantage for that room.
 
  • What is currently installed.
What does your current floor look like, some flooring types can be installed over already existing flooring, while others you may have to remove and apply directly to the sub floor.  This can take your project a lot longer to complete and cost more then you had planned for.  
 
  • What is your price.
Everyone has an ideal price they find reasonable to spend, each floor type has their own price ranges.  At LA Home Solutions we can show you many different pricing options for each flooring type.  At that point we can then weigh the differences between each product to find the perfect product for your budget

We all know that Grey is the new Beige and Hardwood flooring colors have really been showcasing that. However in 2018 we will be seeing more brownish-greys. Wood flooring has added the grey and brown colors and undertones by creating floors that have a “driftwood” appearance. Gone is yellow toned oak shades and cherry tones. Homeowners are also trending towards a more matte or satin finished product, as an alternative to a gloss. Our new Hardwood Line by Laurentian Hardwood “Paisley Planks” is highly styled. Character marks are hand-filled and colour matched, the staining and finishing process enhances the texture, natural grain and character of the wood. This hardwood also has an ultra-matte finish providing a natural, and trendy look. ​

BEFORE & AFTER: Golden Oak Cabinets

7/10/2017

0 Comments

 
​One of the most common questions I get is - what type of flooring should I select to coordinate with golden oak cabinets? Sometimes the budget doesn’t allow for you to paint or change your cabinets but you still want your space to look updated.
Picture

Because oak can look a bit busy I usually suggest finding a more solid wood floor in a light or a dark finish that lightly pulls in the oak color but modernizes it with a deeper brown, grey or white tone. This allows the space to look tied together and not too busy with competing wood grains.
In this home we switched out the main floor carpet and linoleum for a wide plank vinyl throughout with just a touch of a golden distressing that helped tie everything together.
