But there are a lot of choices to be made so how do you choose the right option for you? One of the tough choices is color because it can be hard to imagine from just a tiny swatch what it will look like in a large space. Here are a few suggestions to help you make this big decision. When to Choose Should you choose the carpet color, paint color, or furniture color first? Well, in the living room, you might wish to choose your sofa first because there are more limited options with sofas than with carpet. Once you find a sofa design you like, it will be easy to find a carpet color and pattern to match. In a bedroom, however, you will likely want to choose carpet first, since there are even more options when it comes to bedding. The bedding is also less costly and easier to alter. Neutrals Are Always In Why are neutrals the most common choice for carpeting? Though bright colors can be an attractive addition to a room, when used over a large area, such as wall-to-wall carpet, it can become overwhelming. And if you ever wish to change your design style, re-carpeting will be very costly. For this reason, many opt to keep the carpet neutral and use the walls, pillows, artwork, or other decorative elements to bring in some punches of color. If you are worried that a neutral color will be too bland or restrictive, fear not! There are many options available, from earth tones to beige to cool or warm greys. You can also look into the various textures available, like cut loop, level loop, Saxony, variable height patterned, and so many more. Berber Berber carpet is a level loop textured carpet with flecks of color throughout. The color variation can add a lot of interest to the room and can also be great for hiding imperfections. It is a great choice for high-traffic areas where you are worried about dirt or stains. Consider Your Lifestyle Pure white carpet can be stunning but might be a stressful choice if your house is full of kids or pets. When choosing a color remember that especially light or dark colors will emphasize any lint, dirt, or debris. For an especially busy household, mid-tones are a great choice Everchanging Trends It is also wise to analyze trends and consider how they may evolve in the coming years. Ask yourself if the color you like today will still be desirable to you in the future.

You're probably worried about them being around others on a public playground, but you still want them to have the best summer ever. You've been searching for ways your kids can get their energy out while staying safe. If you have the room at home, you might want to consider bringing the playground right to them instead of the other way around. A DIY playground will be the perfect solution for all those long summer days! This DIY project is perfect for anyone. You don't have to be the best handyman in the world to be able to take on this project. You may even get the whole family in on it for a little bit of assistance! You'll pick the color, design, and layout of the playground to start. Choose the type of swing you wish to install if your child is younger. Do you have a child that enjoys climbing? Add a rock wall to it! This is a time to be as creative as you possibly can be! Before you begin the project, plan out how you want the layout of the playground to look. Scroll through pictures of other playgrounds to help with your creativity. Once you have the layout ready to go, make a comprehensive list of everything you will need to buy. Remember, you don't have to get every single piece by itself if this sounds overwhelming. There are plenty of playground kits that you can purchase if that would be easier for you. The next step will be to put the playground together. A fun way to do this is to make it a family project. Your kids will love being with you as you design their playground from the ground up. If they are old enough, let them join by teaching them how to use the hammer or drill and have them put some of the pieces together. If they aren't old enough to help, ask them to do small things for you, like hold the instructions or get you a drink. Once the playground is put together, let your kids make it one they will be proud of! They can choose the paint color and help you paint the pieces. Let them "name" the playground what they want. You now have the perfect place for your kids to run and play! Woodhill Homes wants to give your family a way to thrive together. We have the perfect home for you when you're ready to build your family unit. Read More → Why Consider an Open Floorplan? By Woodhill Homes • 03 May, 2021 • You may have noticed open floor plans have seemed to become the norm for new homes today. Why are they so popular? Let us consider some of the reasons that many view an open floor plan as an absolute must. Heighten the Joy of Entertaining We can’t deny that being able to entertain a sizable group in your home can be a challenge. But having an open floorplan means that you as the host can be in the kitchen, living room, and dining room all at once. Without the walls blocking your view you can care for all your guests with ease, and your guests feel more freedom to mingle. Increase Home Value An open floor plan increases the usable square footage of your home, thus increasing its real estate value. This spacious type of floorplan is a defining factor in making a home “modern” so, should you decide to sell in the future, an open floor plan will make it much more likely to sell at the price point you desire. Utilize Shared Lighting Have you ever noticed how the inner rooms of your home can feel quite dark and cut off from the world? Even a room with a single window can feel too dark. This problem is alleviated when the space is not split with walls. An open floorplan allows light to shine in from multiple windows on different sides of the home and the result is abundant shared light, which makes your home bright and cheery. Add to this the fact that each added light fixture will also shed light on the entire space so you will need fewer fixtures to receive the same lighting you would in a divided floorplan. The correlation between natural light and mood, as well as productivity and sleep, has been well established, so lighting is a vital consideration in achieving a happy and healthy home life. Safety Any parent will agree, their top priority is the safety of their children. Keeping tabs on the little ones can be quite a chore. Parents have a lot on their plate so being able to keep an eye on their children while working, cooking, cleaning, or caring for other household activities is a must. An open floor plan is invaluable in this circumstance since you can be with your children as they play in the living room while still being in the kitchen prepping dinner. Have You Found Your Forever Home? These are just a few reasons why open floor plans have become hugely popular today.
