Custom closets and cabinets in your Boca Del Mar home can improve organization, and make life easier every day. Don’t start renovating until you’ve seen these popular improvements that will make your home more practical with lower maintenance needs.

1. Low Maintenance Flooring

When you feel like home cleaning and maintenance is too much to handle, you aren’t alone. Homes built in the last two decades have improved dramatically with low-maintenance features, but if it has been a while since your last renovation, you probably lack some of them.

Starting with your flooring is a great idea. Low maintenance options have come a long way, and an investment in new flooring can actually reduce your daily upkeep needs.

The three best flooring materials for a low maintenance home are:

• Engineered Hardwood – This material is durable, relatively low in cost, and looks just as good as real hardwood. Engineered hardwood resists scratching and denting, and you can even refinish the surface when it starts to wear down.
• Luxury Vinyl – Tiles and planks made from luxury vinyl can replicate the look of wood for just a fraction of the budget. Vinyl is impervious to moisture and is stain free. You can easily keep this material clean with regular sweeping or even a microfiber mop. Additionally, when you choose vinyl, you’ll find that it greatly reduces your vacuuming needs.
• Ceramic Tile – With the weather being warm and humid throughout most of the year in Florida, many homeowners find that ceramic tile is the ideal flooring material. A tile floor will help to keep your home cool, and there are countless varieties ranging from understated to opulent. Inkjet technology has transformed ceramic and porcelain tile, which allows you to recreate the look of wood, natural stone, marble, and a plethora of other materials.

2. A Custom Laundry Closet

You can use custom made closets in any room of your home, and when you work with our team at Sunshine Alliance Cabinets & Millwork you can design closets that address your daily needs.

While laundry closets are standard in many homes, they are rarely customized. Improve the organization of your home and reduce clutter by installing custom closet features right into your laundry. Whether you add double hanger bars for clothes storage or shelves for every member of the family, you’ll find that things become much easier on laundry day. You can even include hidden baskets in a custom closet so that the room stays tidy when you don’t have time to put your clothes through a wash cycle.

3. Sliding Spice Racks and Other Innovative Features for Your Kitchen Cabinets

Custom kitchen cabinets aren’t just about aesthetics. Modern designs allow you to maximize the space that you have so that you can store more items, more conveniently.

Sliding spice racks and pantry doors are increasing in popularity. They allow you to make use of those odd ends and spaces in your cabinets that would otherwise be hard to reach and use. By putting food and spices into sliding storage, you’ll have all your cooking ingredients on hand, making meal prep faster and easier.

There are other innovative features that you can bring to your kitchen too. Instead of large cabinets, many homeowners are now opting for large sliding drawers to store kitchen appliances, pots, and pans. Integrated sliding trash storage is also becoming more common in modern homes.

You can incorporate everything from your refrigerator to your dishwasher into your kitchen cabinet design, giving you a more streamlined kitchen that will be a pleasure to use for years to come.

4. Glass and Tiles for Your Bathroom

When your bathroom is difficult to clean and maintain, it could just be that you’re using the wrong materials.

Hardwood floors were popular in bathrooms for a time, but their susceptibility to moisture damage makes them inconvenient in the modern era. Today, there are far more suitable options that are also more affordable. Ceramic tiles are by far the favorite choice, and you can even heat them with an affordable underlay.

If you still prefer the look of wood, you can opt for vinyl or engineered wood planks to get the aesthetic you want without the maintenance downsides.

When you do renovate your bathroom this year or next, you should also aim to incorporate more glass around showers and baths. It’s attractive, easy to clean, and it will last for the lifetime of your home.

5. Custom Walk-In Closets for Bedrooms

We can’t talk about convenient home improvements without mentioning custom walk-in closets for your Boca Del Mar home.

The benefits of walk-in closets are vast. Just scratching the surface, a professionally designed walk-in closet will give you more storage space, help you stay organized, and make you feel like you’re at a five-star hotel every time you use it. When you have the space in your home, you can even remodel with custom walk-in closets that also serve as whole dressing rooms.

The size and features are entirely up to you, especially when you work with a capable design team like the one here at Sunshine Alliance.
