Bringing Global Aesthetics into Home Remodeling
Mediterranean Touches for Warm, Inviting Bathrooms
The kitchen and bathroom design are designed in a Mediterranean style with earthy color, textured tiles, and decorative features. Handmade mosaic tiles and arched niches installed in bathrooms produce a spa-like atmosphere of Greek or Spanish villas. KBR remodel contractors use these features and combine them with the latest functions, like frameless glass showers in combination with the terra cotta details. One of the Fairfax clients created a Santorini-style bathroom that increased relaxation. Our Bethesda showroom will present ideas about Mediterranean bathroom remodels.
Scandinavian Minimalism in Modern Kitchen Layouts
Clean lines, natural materials, and neutral palettes characterize the simplicity and functionality of Scandinavian design on a travel-inspired kitchen remodel. Modern homes are suited to open designs with smooth cabinetry and simple islands that make the best use of light and space. The kitchen and bathroom design team of KBR applies the Scandinavian principles to design airy and efficient kitchens. A DC customer adopted this design using white oak cabinetry and minimalist design, which enhanced the serene mood in their kitchen. Check out Scandinavian-influenced designs in our Manassas showroom.

Color Palettes Inspired by Global Travel
Moroccan Blues, Tuscan Neutrals, and Coastal Whites

Small spaces are lightened with coastal whites, which are inspired by the Greek islands. The contractors at KBR remodel these hues with low-VOC paints, which are healthier and durable.

Avoiding Cultural Appropriation – Do It Respectfully and Tastefully
