Solar Power Systems Solutions for West Michigan When founder Paul Risberg, a Charlottesville, VA native, formed Altenergy, Inc. in 2004, his mission was to create high-value, high-quality, affordable, and efficient solar power systems for residents and companies in Albemarle County and surrounds.

As the company enjoyed steady growth through superior system design and excellent customer service, it has been the leading solar project designer and builder in the state since its inception.

As that growth continued, branches were opened in Staunton, VA, Maryland/DC Metro regions, Boise, ID, Kansas City, MO and Grand Rapids, MI. Risberg has assembled a team of designers and installers who build complete, turn-key packages that provide solutions to the energy needs of individuals and society. Altenergy’s company culture is one that believes solar power is a crucial part of the nation’s energy future and works diligently to produce results that benefit its customers and demonstrates the positive aspects of solar power generation.

Michigan and trained with both the install and design teams in Boise Idaho for years before moving back to his home state to open this branch. Now he is continuing Paul's original goal, providing affordable, high-quality solar to the community he knows and loves.

“When I moved to Boise, I knew I wanted to get involved in solar and I found Altenergy. As the costs of going solar fell, and my knowledge grew, I started to have daydreams of bringing solar back to West Michigan. And here we are,” Chad Becker gladly recaps.

Given the opportunity to prove West Michigan was a great market for solar, the Grand Rapids branch proved itself quickly in early 2019 with multiple residential and commercial builds. Now, less than 2 years later, the Grand Rapids branch has already installed over 1,500 solar panels and over 1 Million Dollars’ worth of installs.

If you have ever considered solar energy for your home or business, give Altenergy a call. They will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote, showing you how investing in solar energy is one of the lowest risk investments you will ever make.

For over 16 years, Altenergy has helped commercial and residential customers power their homes and businesses with clean energy, stabilize the cost of electricity, and provide a strong return on investment with profound environmental benefits.

The company has successfully completed more than 1,600 commercial and residential projects, providing more than 22 megawatt-hours of clean, green energy.

The local Grand Rapids branch is committed to the communities they serve because even though they have national support and experience, the Grand Rapids branch is homegrown right here in West Michigan. The Grand Rapids branch manager Chad Becker grew up in Jenison,

Chad Becker for Altenergy, Inc. Chad was first introduced to the Solar Industry while working at a Caribbean Hotel in 2013. As a general manager of that hotel, which had solar on every conceivable rooftop, his know-how, fascination, and love of solar began.

Within a year of returning to the states, he found himself installing solar for Altenergy in Boise, ID. After a year on roof tops, Altenergy put him to work in the design department. Then in 2019, after he and his wife had their first baby girl, they decided to return to their hometown in West Michigan to be closer to family. Chad graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Telecommunications and Information Studies Cosmopolitan Home Grand Rapids | 5

CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE

Converting to a Roth IRA The timing may be right

Roth IRAs are generally considered among the most attractive retirement savings vehicles available to individual investors. They offer the unique potential to grow investment earnings without incurring any income tax liability, if qualifying distributions are made.

It’s important to note that how much you can contribute to a Roth IRA depends on your tax filing status and modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). For a single filer in 2020, your income must be under $139,000 (or $206,000 if you’re filing jointly) in order to contribute.

Beyond making regular contributions to a Roth IRA, the other way to take advantage of this savings tool is to move money from a traditional IRA or workplace savings plan to a Roth IRA. These are referred to as Roth IRA conversions. Now may be an opportune time to give this idea a closer look. Here’s what you should know: A TAXABLE TRANSACTION The key factor affecting the decision to pursue a Roth IRA conversion is the tax impact. Remember that some or all of the distributions from traditional IRAs are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. If contributions were made on a pre-tax (tax-deductible) basis, the entire amount of the withdrawal is subject to tax. If after-tax contributions funded a traditional IRA, only the portion of the distribution attributable to investment earnings is taxable.

With a Roth IRA, all contributions occur on an after-tax basis. If holding period requirements are met, all distributions can be received on a tax-free basis.

Moving money from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is a taxable event at the time of the conversion. Consider an example of converting a portion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. If all contributions to the traditional IRA were made on a pre-tax basis, the entire value of the converted amount is added to your ordinary income for the year and subject to tax at applicable rates.

MAKE TAX-SMART CONVERSION DECISIONS If we assume this conversion totaled $100,000 and an ordinary income tax rate of 24% applies to the converted amount, that results in a tax liability of approximately $24,000. It is often recommended that you pay the tax due from available resources in existing taxable accounts.

6 | early spring 2021

This allows the entire amount converted to be shifted to the Roth IRA, maximizing the long-term tax benefits of the conversion.

You don’t have to convert all of your IRA assets at one time. It can occur over a series of years to spread out the tax impact. Remember that income is taxed on a progressive scale across a range of tax brackets. You may want to convert an amount that will stay within your current tax bracket. For example, a married couple expecting to have a taxable income of $100,000 for 2020 will be in the 22% federal income tax bracket. That bracket for married filing jointly continues to apply to taxable income up to $171,050. Therefore, they could convert an additional $71,050 without any of the converted amount slipping into a higher tax bracket.

THE TIMING MAY BE RIGHT Another consideration relates to the future of tax rates in America.

Current income tax rates are near their lowest levels in recent history. There is concern that due to skyrocketing federal debt (much of it spurred on by recent stimulus legislation related to the COVID-19 pandemic), tax rates may rise in the future. By taking the tax hit at this time when you convert funds to a Roth IRA, you may ultimately pay less in tax on your IRA than if you waited to take distributions later, assuming tax rates are higher.

Roth conversions can be a very effective tool both in terms of tax management and in helping generate greater after-tax cash flow in retirement. But the process can be complex. Be sure to consult with your financial advisor and tax advisor for more guidance. ❂ Lisa Cargill, ChFC®, CLU®,CRPC®, CDFA™ is a Financial Advisor with Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc.

A quest for clean, rural design by Hygge Custom Homes

Inviting Simplicity

TEXT BY LAUREN CARLSON IMAGES BY ASHLEY AVILA

When Becky and Nate Vandenbroek began working on the latest project of their new custom home company, Hygge Custom Homes, they sought to create something intentional and minimalist, completely lacking in fuss or extras that might distract from their modern style. The pair sought inspiration from the landscape itself, pairing cues from the environment with a quest for clean, rural design. What resulted is a singular home built from passion and purpose, a structure that is as striking as it is simple.

The Vandenbroeks completed their first house project together in 2012. A northwest contemporary-style home, “It was a little out of the box from what we see in West Michigan,” said Becky, the design half of the Hygge Custom Homes partnership. After living in the home for two years, the pair was excited to start again, and together completed a trendy modern farmhouse in Ada. For their third project, the pair wanted to tell a unique story about their company's offerings for custom homes. “Our biggest goal is to inject something different into the GR/Ada, metro area,” said Nathan.

“That was the project that got us excited about taking this to the next step,” said Becky. And after a lifetime in the industry, Becky was ready to forge her own path.

“My dad was a builder,” she said. “I kind of grew up on job sites.” This passion and familiarity with construction led her to ultimately pursue a career in home design. "There weren't a lot of females in the industry back in the day," she added. Through her work, she now hopes to encourage more women to become involved in home construction and other trades.

CLEAN AND MINIMALIST “Becky and Nate really brought this idea of a cleaner sensibility to a nicer modern house to the table," said Chad Gould, the architect for the project. With minimalism at the core of the home, the Vandenbroeks sought a purposeful design that encompassed everything from the overall layout to their choice for exterior siding.

This feeling of comfort is at the heart of the concept of hygge [who-guh], a Danish and Norwegian term that refers to feelings of contentment, wellness, or charm. With Scandinavian simplicity and modernity at the heart of this particular home — and their new business — the Vandenbroeks view this project as an opportunity to showcase their personal style.

“We tried to be very minimalist but not make it look cold,” said Becky. Part of this execution involved dividing the home into a series of interconnected “barns” that allowed for privacy without sacrificing space. This approach also pays homage to the history of the land, a property that was once a working goat farm.

The home contains what the Vandenbroeks call their sleeping barn, living barn and storage barn, as well as an outbuilding/garage they refer to as the adventure barn. Seemingly separate structures from a distance, these barns each have their unique purpose and ecosystem. Each utilizes its own tankless water heater and HVAC system to ensure that the energy needs are individualized and as efficient as possible.

“It was really important for us to do an energy efficient home,” said Becky.

The home also features closed cell foam insulation — which shelters the structures from the elements — and an energy recovery ventilation (ERV) system — which captures and circulates small amounts of fresh air from the outdoors — but not before first matching its temperature with the interior.

The pair also chose cedar siding for the exterior.

Though this is a higher maintenance option, cedar is a natural product that will shed fewer toxins into the environment over time. The Vandenbroeks also incorporated smart home features like Lutron Smart Home lighting, an ecobee thermostat, and a Sonos Sound System. Becky noted that this is the “smartest home we've done” thus far.

This quest for efficiency also makes its way into the home's aesthetics, which communicate an intentionality in each space, piece of furniture, and fixture. “It's a very simple house in terms of its shape ... there's really no extra detailing

involved on it,” said Gould. “It's very purposeful and straightforward.”

“We like to do what we call a cozy modern,” said Becky, and this self-defined moniker results in an inviting simplicity from every angle.

A BALANCE OF SPACE Approaching the home from the road, visitors will immediately notice the original grey fencing and wide open spaces of the former goat farm. Just before the driveway, the short gabion wall — a wire cage filled with stones — forms a seemingly natural barrier between the yard and the house.

Gould noted that these structures are “fairly straightforward and simple” because they don't require a foundation to build. They also serve as yet another nod to rural design; landowners for centuries built sight walls from rocks dug from their property.

In addition, “You do need to develop layers of space and sequences of space,” added Gould, who utilized the walls as a clever aesthetic divider between the natural landscape, the planned landscape, and the house itself. “We used them to define the front courtyard and arrival experience to the house.”

Upon entering the home, visitors may be surprised by an interior that communicates an open, airy feel within the barn structures. Gould noted that he designed much of the interior to allow

Neutral tones throughout the home, including the light hardwood flooring by Duchateau’s The Guild Collection from Century Flooring, are a great contrast to the kitchen’s matte black cabinetry and range hood. Black was chosen for many of the home's more utilitarian elements including the window frames, plumbing fixtures, pendent lighting and a custom stairway railing.

natural light to permeate the rooms without over-expanding the size of the home. Instead of trendy open floor plans that overemphasize space, he worked with the Vandenbroeks to create a home that “felt good to be in” because it was “human-scaled.” He added “We spent a lot of time studying the wall heights, ceiling heights, amount of pitch...”

Much of this balance between space and feel is accomplished through the simplicity of the interior design. Becky chose Sherwin Williams Extra White paint throughout the entire home, which reflects natural light and provides a striking contrast for a few of the home's few colorful elements. “All of the baseboard trim and doors were painted the same color for that minimalist vibe,” said Becky, who chose not to include trim pieces like casings and decorative moldings.

The pair also decided to forgo eaves, as well as a handle on the custom white oak front door by Grand Rapids' R&J Raven Company. Their goal, according to Nathan, was to “show as much restraint as possible.”

This effort shines in the neutral tones throughout the home, including the light hardwood flooring

by Duchateau’s The Guild Collection. “It’s a warm honey tone that gives great contrast against our matte black cabinets,” said Becky. This soft black cabinetry extends to the range hood and open air shelving in the kitchen.

The Vandenbroeks used the color black for contrast in many of the home's more utilitarian elements, like the window frames, plumbing fixtures, pendent lighting and a custom stairway railing.

This method of careful juxtaposition is designed to comfort and not to distract — to invite but not enclose — the home's occupants and visitors.

One such unique feature is the custom built fireplace nestled into its own wall in the main floor living room. Lacking a traditional hearth, this fireplace features a clean face housing a Samsung Frame Television that doubles as an adaptable piece of art. “From a practical standpoint, we had to do some custom venting,” said Nathan,

who crafted the feature with a hidden vertical vent within the custom wall.

For the Vandenbroeks, this house meant “Doubling down on being purposeful,” said Gould. He added, “This house is very direct ... there is not a decorative element on it ... unless something is providing a quality of life for them, they weren't interested in pursuing it.”

SMALL DEPARTURES The couple's one departure from their neutral, almost bare aesthetic was their choice of penny round tile in their daughter's bedroom — a playful, almost rose gold flooring that pops against white subway tiled walls and light wood cabinetry.

One departure from the home’s neutral palette is found in the daughter’s bathroom.

Here, penny round floor tile in rose gold pops against white subway tiled walls and light wood cabinetry.

The simplicity of the interior design extends to the laundry/mud room as well as the bathrooms. Extra White paint by Sherwin Williams was used throughout the entire home as it reflects natural light beautifully and provides a striking contrast to the home's few colorful elements.

22 | early spring 2021

“The whole house is pretty neutral in palette.

That was the only room that I was allowed to put color in,” joked Becky.

Crafting Beauty Since 1980

“It's the only place where we broke our own rules,” added Nathan.

The home's lower level features another living and entertainment space, as well as a children's reading nook below the stairs. Once again, the couple flouted convention, deciding to make each usable space purposeful.

RJ Raven offers exceptional handcrafted custom wood doors, entryways and windows in any style — traditional, historic or contemporary. Built by highly skilled artisans in our West Michigan studio.

“It's a sneaky small house,” said Gould, who enjoyed the couple's smart solutions and intentional design. Working in residential architecture since 2004 but diversifying his portfolio with commercial and institutional projects, Gould is inspired by unique builds that require careful planning.

Let RJ Raven design and build your perfect door!

“The very wonderful thing about residential architecture is that it's a very intimate conversation with design ... it's a very personal one,” he said. “You have to think about the level of the design [that] goes all the way down to the light switch and the color of the pillow, and the objects in the room.”

In this unassuming yet surprising home on a former goat farm in Ada, Hygge Custom Homes has created just that — a personal project that speaks to their passion, and serves to communicate their intentional approach to home design. ❂

THINKING

INSIDE

THE BOX TEXT BY LYNN BAKEMAN IMAGES BY JEFF TIPPETT

When you step into this light and airy, contemporary home with its sweeping 180-degree lake view, it’s hard to imagine its previous traditional incarnation.

Francesca Owings of Francesca Owings Interior Design had helped the homeowners remodel a few rooms in their previous home. When they purchased this home, they knew Francesca had the insight and skill to help them envision a more modern transformation from its traditional architecture.

Mid-Century Modern is an architectural design that came into its own by the mid-1950s and is now a significant design movement. Today’s home designers know that humans are not built to be segregated into boxes or separated from nature. A more open concept plan reflects an idea of living that is much more fluid than in a traditional house.

As the homeowners explained, “The layout was definitely a main driver for our renovation. The original floor plan included a large formal dining area separate from the formal living area with its beautiful lake views. We wanted the space to feel like the right fit for our family. We chose a design that replaced the dining room and combined kitchen and living spaces for open and gracious entertaining.”

The kitchen had been tucked in the back of the home; a relic of the time when kitchens were considered messy eyesores and food magically appeared in a formal dining room without a hint of preparation. The home was already blessed with floor-to-ceiling windows offering dramatic lake views, but the choppy floor plan needed an overhaul to fully appreciate this advantageous location.

When contemplating a renovation this extensive, the team at Francesca Owings Interior Design is uniquely qualified to guide the process.

Francesca operates independently, but collaborates seamlessly between the homeowner and everyone who makes the magic happen. She is able to render everything from hand-drawn concept sketches to 3D floor plans, elevations, and perspectives. Her team designs custom cabinetry, trim, and architectural millwork, all the way through to the finishes including furniture and artwork placement, and lighting design.

The homeowner’s realtor recommended Kenowa Builders, and they had seen his work on other projects in the area and been duly impressed.

From the initial walk-through with CEO Cory Wyma, the homeowners and Francesca knew it was a great fit. Cory is the third-generation now 30 | early spring 2021

The kitchen is a focal point of the home with its clear-coat walnut custom cabinetry. The same material on the cabinet face is continued inside the drawers. The walnut grain is balanced with the clean lines of the pendant lights, a white waterfall quartz island, and the stove backsplash in full slab Cambria quartz. The Thermidor range, from Gerrit’s Appliance, also has a steam oven component.

Adjoining the kitchen are both a day pantry and a butler’s pantry. Some of the original kitchen cabinets were utilized in the day pantry while the butler’s pantry features the distinctive walnut used in the kitchen to frame a cabinet with antique mirrored doors.

operating the family building legacy begun by his grandpa 55 years ago.

Cory found his niche thriving on the challenges presented in remodeling and renovation.

“Unlike production-style builds, there’s nothing systematic about this work as it presents a new level of understanding construction,” he explained. “It requires that I interact closely with my subcontractors and customers because plans can change on the fly.

“Square footage isn’t usually added on a remodel, so it forces me to think things through and be creative to overcome obstacles within the allotted footprint. Today’s homeowners want newer features like a pantry, for example, so our creative team has to rearrange the existing space to make it happen. The end result is unique and because of that extra creative flair, it looks cooler!”

32 | early spring 2021

This home had undergone several remodels since being built in the 1970s but they were cosmetic and didn’t address the flawed lifestyle functionality.

Stepping inside the original entryway, the lake view was partially obstructed by walls while vision tunneled due to low 8-foot ceilings and dark floors. The design team knew walls needed to come down and the existing cathedral ceiling extended, and Cory had the expertise to determine how extensively the roof needed to be engineered.

Cory had a pleasant surprise when he peered into the attic. “You can tell the original builder knew what he was doing by looking at the attic rafters. This builder rafter-framed everything and it takes real skill to do that because it’s all built on site; much of that skill has gone by the wayside. Today’s engineered roof trusses simplify construction by allowing for a larger spans, but make modifications like vaulting a ceiling impossible unless you tear the roof off.

The raftering allowed us to extend the cathedral ceiling and resituate the kitchen into the heart of the home, finally giving the cook a lake view.”

Most of this home renovation occurred on the main floor and to make Francesca’s vision possible, the interior was taken down to the studs.

This is the point where most homeowners grasp the extent of what they’re undertaking. Francesca helps them picture their home’s future using a 3D modeling computer program called SketchUp. “Showing the clients elevations and drawings of their project is really helpful so they know exactly what they’re getting before I put the order together,” she explained.

“These homeowners love to entertain and now they can host 20 people in the house and it doesn’t feel constrained,” said Francesca. “Although this has an open concept feel, there are also liv-

ing spaces that are distinctly separate and intimate; it’s nice for parents and teens to have their own spaces to retreat to when desired.”

The end result is striking and a very different experience. Bright and flooded with soul-satisfying natural light, Francesca imbues the space with warmth using touches of custom walnut woodwork. Underfoot, 10-inch wide plank white oak with a European bleached wash provides a clean backdrop. Millwork such as window casings and thick but simple baseboard molding helps elevate the project to modern standards.

“The stairway was one of those items that didn’t seem like it needed to be updated, but once everything around it changed, it stuck out,” said Cory. “Plus, it was right by the main entrance into the home. Once we replaced it and updated the balustrade, it finally fit the home.

“Because of the strength of her vision, her client’s know that even though they can’t see the end result, they trust her and it comes out perfectly.”

The home office features a built-in with a grasscloth wallcovering for added texture and interest.

The great room fireplace was created from a photograph of a resort the homeowners visited. The Hestia natural slab quartzite had to be mitered, cut, and seamed to reproduce the look.

“We wanted to extend the cathedral ceiling and didn’t want to lose the window next to the range,” he continued. “Francesca had to convince the homeowners that it wasn’t a design faux pas to have that asymmetry. In a more traditional design, the cathedral ceiling would meet up with the center of the range cabinets and everything would be proportioned equally from that point.

One thing about modern design is that symmetry isn’t necessary. That’s another gift Francesca brings to the table: Because of the strength of her vision, her client’s know that even though they can’t see the end result, they trust her and it comes out perfectly.”

Francesca added, “It was so nice to have that creative back and forth with someone who is so well-versed in remodeling. Cory is very creative and offers a lot of input, and everyone on his team is efficient and talented.”

The great room fireplace presented a unique challenge to both supplier and builder. The homeowners took photographs of a fireplace from a resort out west and asked if Francesca could emulate its design. The Hestia natural slab quartzite didn’t come in pieces that large, so Kenowa Builder’s fabricator was tasked with having it mitered, cut, and seamed to get that look. Cory’s team then found a creative way to support the marble mantle to give it that free-floating look.

The kitchen is now a focal point of the home and the clear-coat walnut custom cabinetry takes center stage. “A new trend we’re seeing is that the same material on the cabinet face is continued inside the drawer. It’s a subtle, but attractive feature,” adds Francesca. “We also created recessed doors on both

The “man cave” was given space on the main floor, situated where the original kitchen used to be. This inviting lounge area features a customcrafted wine cabinet, with beautiful decorative hardware from Modern Hardware, a built-in cooler, a wet bar, and access to the deck.

sides of the stove that keep cook’s necessities like oils and spices hidden but easily accessible.”

Francesca balanced the strong elements of the walnut grain with the clean lines of the pendant lights, a white waterfall quartz island, and the stove backsplash in full slab Cambria quartz. The Thermidor range also has a steam oven component which many clients have been loving.

In the adjoining day pantry, Cory’s team reused some of the original kitchen cabinets. In the butler’s pantry, he built the distinctive walnutframed cabinet with antique mirrored doors.

Since the basement isn’t a walkout and the main floor was spacious, the man cave got to see daylight by being situated where the original kitchen used to be. This inviting lounge area features a custom-crafted wine cabinet with a built-in cool-

er, a wet bar, and access to the deck. Above the wet bar is a backsplash of wallpaper with splashes of golden bronze by Schumacher.

Francesca enjoys using wallpaper in partial accent areas like this, and in the homeowner’s office built-in where grasscloth adds texture and interest.

In smaller spaces like the half bath, vivid handblock wallpaper by Abnormals Anonymous creates a fun environment for guests.

“At our studio, we’ve collected quite an assortment of wallpaper books, tiles, and other accessories for inspiration,” said Francesca. “It all gets filed away in the back of my mind waiting for that perfect moment where it will unfold in someone’s space.”

On working with Francesca, Cory noted, “She's super talented and easy going while keeping the

process moving along. She obviously has a strong eye for design, but at the same time, is flexible and understands our concerns as a builder. She is unique in being able to incorporate interior design with floor plan layout, and that helps because she can control a lot more of what she wants to accomplish.”

Cory is seeing more renovations than new builds because people are finding that it’s harder to find land in desirable areas, and new construction costs are skyrocketing. “It takes a whole lot more time and energy to get a new house out of the ground compared to a remodel,” he explained.

“There are also more opportunities for hiccups to interrupt a new build. Once a demo and remodel starts, there’s no turning back!”

“From the very start, we had a great experience with Kenowa Builders,” shared the homeowners.

Cosmopolitan Home Grand Rapids | 37

The second fireplace received a clean facelift with paint and a walnut mantelpiece to scale it for the space.

Kenowa Builders has carpenters on staff which helps keep projects on schedule and allows changes to be made on the fly if necessary.

“Everyone — from Cory, to his builders and office employees — was a pleasure to work with.

The communication process and updates were so valuable to the process. We looked forward to our weekly emails that explained everything that had been accomplished the previous week, and what was planned for the following week. These emails may seem like a small thing but it was just the right amount of information.

We never felt overwhelmed with our tight renovation timeline, because Kenowa Builders went above and beyond to help us meet that deadline.

We can't imagine going through any renovation without the Francesca Owings Interior Design team,” they continued. “Remodeling a home can be stressful but with Francesca, we felt comfortable and excited at each stage of the process. It was reassuring to know that our project was in such talented hands. Her creative style and attention to detail has made our new house feel like our family home and we are forever grateful.” ❂

Appliances The importance of a well-functioning kitchen to our everyday lives is immeasurable. Not only is it the food headquarters of the home, it provides comfort, family time, and togetherness.Whether it’s spending time preparing meals together or simply sitting at the island, going over the tasks of the day with a hot beverage, the kitchen is where we gather.

Therefore, it should accomodate with ease the needs and desires of all who use it — mainly, with its appliances.

The latest trends in appliances allow for more connection with technology, as well as an alternative to some traditional cooking methods which may inspire a healthier and more productive lifestyle. If you’re into technology, there are a lot of new Bluetooth features to enjoy giving glimpses of what the future might hold. From new ways to keep your home smart, to devices that simplify everyday tasks, modern appliances have something for everyone.

Cabinetry If there's anything we've found solace in during this pandemic, it's been in the reorganizing of our most used spaces — namely, our kitchens and bathrooms. Whether our ideal level of organization is "the perfectly imperfect" or a scene from Sleeping with the Enemy, finding more ways to beautifully organize our cabinets will most-likely remain a priority. The good news is, when cabinets are tidy, glass doors are a beautiful addition and a much loved look. Open shleves are also a great way to show off your organized, kitchenwares and not only gives a more spacious feel but makes everything easy to find.

Believe it or not, timeless white cabinetry is still a go-to choice. As we look to our homes as our safe havens, the crisp, clean feeling a white kitchen or bath offers is still very appealing — some trends last a long time for a reason.

However, mixing it up with wood tones and textures or even colorful cabinets is meeting the desire of having the best of both worlds.

Adding warm and cozy elements to a white palette brings a reassuring and nostalgic feeling to our spaces — instilling our love of home.

Following one particular style of design seems dull these days — stay true to your own preferences but don’t be afraid to highlight and contrast different looks. Of course, working with a professional kitchen and bathroom designer will make all the difference in having your spaces meet your wants, needs and lifestyle perfectly.

Countertops No surprises here: quartz remains the number one choice for countertops. Both hygenic and stain resistant, quartz is also extremely strong and durable. Throw in today’s technology, and quartz gives you endless colors, patterns, and finishing techniques to choose from — it can mimic almost any look you want. Did we mention that it’s low maintenance and doesn’t need re-sealing — it’s got it all.

Butcher block, marble, concrete, soapstone continue to be options for the chefs who prefer these surfaces for the attributes that are harder to duplicate: a warmer ambiance, a cooler temperature for pastry dough, or naturally aging beauty. These surfaces will always be on the list for various reasons and their beauty is undeniable.

We would be amiss if we didn’t mention finish choices, mainly: polished, honed or leathered. As of late, many designers are using more textured and tactile surfaces in their designs and countertops are fair game. Honed and leather surfaces have become common and can be applied to many different materials such as granite, marble, and quartz. Polished remains popular but there are advantages to the others.

A honed finish is a matte finish with little to no shine. The overall look will vary depending on the stone type but, it should have a low sheen and a smooth surface.

A leathered finish has a soft sheen that is less glossy from a polished slab and to the touch has a different feel.The leather finish retains the stone’s natural color giving it a more sophisticated look than honed. It also hides fingerprints and water spots remarkably well.

Decorative Hardware It’s the details that really stand out in a well designed home and decorative hardware is one of the most important to consider. Beautiful cabinetry hardware can take your kitchen to the next level and stylish door hardware will punctuate any space with a special feel.

Oversized drawer pulls are everywhere (by oversized, we mean pulls that range from 6-21 inches long).The longest pulls are often used on the vertical for tall cabinets and on the horizontal for large drawers. These pulls generally have a minimalist fee and are often mixed with smaller pulls of the same style.

Although dark finishes on kitchen hardware are nothing new, the rich darkness of flat (or matte) black is something fairly new. This finish has a very high impact on white or light cabinetry and doors.

Brushed brass, copper and gold add a rich warm tone to cabinet hardware. The current gold finishes tend to be rich and deep with a brushed finish.They stand out on both light and dark cabinetry and add a sophisticated touch to any kitchen or bathroom.

Copper has been around for a long time but is rising in popularity. Like gold finishes, copper has a warm, rich tone but offers a more informal look. It works well in farmhouse style kitchens or more traditional settings.

Weathered finishes add extra depth to hardware and offer a unique look with more dimension. No matter the metal — nickel or brass, it adds a contrasting rustic feel that is very desirable.

Glass & Mirrors Natural light is one of the most important components of the home in terms of mood enhancement and mental health. Designers are using glass and mirrors more and more in unique and beautiful ways maximize this commodity. Glass railings and bannisters, all-glass showers, glass-front cabinetry, and many other innovative ideas are becoming common place in our homes.

One of our favorite interior glass trends is the black, steel-framed window look (Crittall style). Edgy and versatile, these slim-profile frames have the ability to completely transform a space; not just by giving it an edge that is somehow both retro and modern, but also by opening up a space and letting in more light. It’s a fabulous way to cleverly partition open areas to create different zones, without compromising on light or space. They can be used as internal partitions or connecting doorways, and they're great for dividing up and zoning spaces.

It’s no secret open-plan living has been all the rage but, tearing down walls isn't always practical and sometimes spaces still need to be divided or separate (the pandemic has spotlighted this!). The Crittall style is a great solution, and designers love using these steel-framed partitions to create floor plans that feel both light and inclusive but retain an element of separation.

Home Organization Whether it’s sorting a cluttered junk drawer, or making your bed every morning, it’s been proven that a structured and organized enviroment adds to a better quality of life — better sleep, less stress, improved relationships and increased productivity. Therefore, customized, smart storage solutions are an essential component of the home.

The pandemic has put a bright spotlight on how storage space is fundamental to a home’s livability level. Here we are in 2021 and if we reflect back to just a year ago, chances are our homes are functioning quite differently today.

The need for multi-use spaces and working from home has contributed to the demand to be organized.

Staying organized, however, has become the challenge as we are still at home more now than in years past and many of us need all the help we can get. So, if you’re looking for more efficient ways to organize — be it a pantry, closet, or in the garage ... the list goes on and on — or if you just want more anesthetically appealing storage, you’re in good company. West Michigan has some great options to help get your home in its best organized shape. And being organized not only feels good, it looks good! .

Curb Appeal Curb appeal — it’s the attractiveness of the outside of a home, as viewed from the street. It’s the first impression that is made of your home by friend or stranger ... if you think about it, countless more people see the outside of your house than inside. But, never fear, your curb appeal can be elevated with simple tips and current trends — did you know front porches are making a comeback?

With so many of us spending a significant amount of time home — even the most introverted neighbors are looking for connection. Often, it’s right outside our front doors. Welcoming exterior spaces via a front porch creates a naturally inviting atmosphere and serves as a functional and intentional addition to your home.

Natural wood elements and accents are also very appealing right now. Wood details, such as a beautiful front door, a bench or even gates and arbors, add architectural interest and warmth. And, for those who actually enter your home, nothing makes a better welcoming impression than a solid wood, handcrafted front door. Keep the wood elements of your exterior intentional and anchored in your home style and you’ll love the view every time you come home.

The challenges of the past year have hit hard but the outdoors reminds us daily of the opportunity to feel and express joy. Maybe it’s the vitamin D, the fresh air, or just the beauty of nature.Whatever the case may be, passersby will appreciate the beautiful design they can enjoy from your curbside.

Landscaping The pandemic has increased everyone's desire for outside space and the need for it to work beyond just the summer months.

Outdoor space is now a key part of any home as we are spending more time outside in our gardens, on our patios or balconies.

These spaces need to perform for yearround use — they are extensions of our living space and provide areas to relax, along with the possibility to remain social, all while taking in a beautiful summer day, a fresh snowfall or a starry autumn night. Soft seating, outdoor kitchens and heating solutions will ensure we can use outside spaces all year long. There are health benefits to spending more time outside as well, including a better night’s sleep.

And, while yard work might not be your favorite way to spend time, there are great solutions for ease of maintenance. The actual lawn itself is trending toward a smaller size with low-maintenance grass, or turf alternatives like plant ground covers.

Decorative rocks, mulch, and native plantings are being utilized more than ever before. These lower maintenance elements allow for lots of creativity in design and can add interest and curb appeal. And, don’t forget, hiring a yard service out will keep your outdoor spaces immpeccable.

Flooring Pets, kids, heavy-footed friends ... no floor is safe from destruction. But lucky for us, 2021 has some fantastic options that can handle your chaos as well as some beautiful choices that will help you achieve the serene vibe you desire.

Advancements in flooring technology have allowed manufacturers to replicate the exact look of real wood or stone onto all kinds of tile surfaces with luxury vinyl and porcelain being favorites. It has become almost impossible to differentiate the tile from the real thing. These replications also include a directional and textural finish, resembling that of the real thing. The variety seems endless and with faux tiles, you get the design benefits of a hardwood floor in terms of color, look and even texture but the ease of care and maintenance that nearly-indestructible vinyl offers.

The designer-favorite choice, however, is still engineered hardwood and there’s a reason why. It’s the real deal but even better. It has a top layer of hardwood —that gives it its authentic beauty — followed by layers of plywood in alternating directions —that give it its durability. Designers stay true to the natural material and homeowners love the durability.

There are a lot of ways to add architectural interest to our homes but one of our favorites that’s on the rise is floor framing. By simply laying out your flooring in a different pattern or direction, you can change the entire feel of your space. Pattern is hot in 2021 and how your floor is laid out can hit the mark big time.
