Remodeling Trends to Watch

Thinking about remodeling this year? With tax season approaching, many homeowners may be looking to use some of their tax return to invest in home improvement projects. Every year, there are a lot of different trends in home renovations. Here are some popular trends happening already this year to keep an eye on.

Natural Light:
This trend never goes out of style. Natural light brings out the natural beauty of your home. Not only that, but more light exposure can also boost your state of mind and create a more positive atmosphere inside the home. Consider adding skylights or replacing your windows for larger ones to bring in more of that gorgeous Pacific Northwest sun.

Spacious Windows:
A big, expansive piece of glass makes a big impression in any room. Whether it’s a new sliding glass door, a large picture window, or a moving glass wall, there are many different options for homes of all styles! Our team of experts at Lifetime Windows and Doors can advise you on which options you have for your specific space.

Expanding Outdoor Space:
People are spending more and more time at home these days. So, expanding the outside living space is a great idea! When you’re thinking about your home improvement project, consider your exterior! So whether it’s a new siding project, upgrading your roof, or adding a new sliding door that brings you out to your porch, patio, or deck, maximizing outdoor livability is key.

Classic Window Frames:
How old are the windows in your home? If they are decades old, they are likely not energy efficient and could be costing you money in wasted energy. Replacement windows are a great investment for your home. Some of the most popular window trends recently have been new windows with black frames and those with natural wood trim. Both options are classic, but casual, allowing them to work with modern, traditional, or contemporary home designs.

How to Make A Statement with Your Entryway

First impressions matter. Whether your home is an updated Craftsman-style home or a cabin on a beautiful piece of Pacific Northwest land, your space is something that reflects who you are. Your front entryway is a crucial part of your home. The entry door will help express your unique taste and style.

When you’re considering your current entryway and how you can make it stand out, we recommend starting with your entry door. Don’t be afraid to be bold! This allows your home to stand out from others in the neighborhood. It’s okay to do something unique! Especially if the homes around you have similar exteriors or interior layouts. A custom entry door allows you to make a statement about your home. What do you love about your home? Showcase that!

Not sure which door is right for you? Shapes and styles vary, so think outside of the box. If you have arched walkways throughout the home or a foyer with an archway, a square contrast door to contrast could work. Or, consider a door that has similar arches. There are no set rules. Double doors are also a popular option for homes. A stunning single door with paneled glass on the side is also great. Your front entryway can become an inspiration for the rest of your home. It helps set the tone for the rest of the space.

Whether it’s a custom wood door or something more contemporary or rustic, our team at Lifetime Windows and Doors can help you find the perfect front door. We will work with your budget guidelines, talk to you about what size options could work, and then we’ll get your appointment scheduled for a simple installation by our experts. We proudly serve the Portland Metro area, Central Oregon, and Southwest Washington. Contact us today to get your door replacement project started!
