Luxury Remodeling McKinney TX
Do you want to Remodel Your McKinney TX Home?
You should start with the help of a professional interior designer.
Many people are wanting to update their traditional homes. They are looking at remodeling their kitchens with new cabinets, appliances, countertops, backsplash, lighting, etc… The other popular room to remodel is the master bathroom. There are so many things to consider like how each room will flow into the next. If I take down walls to expand the kitchen or master bathroom, how will that affect other rooms? This is where an interior designer comes into play. You need a total plan with 3D renderings, detailed floor plans, color boards, selections, etc. You will want this all planned out before your remodeling starts. Professional interior designers will also know who the good contractors are. Interior designers can help you save money and avoid costly mistakes.

Can I update my luxury home to be more like a new home?
Yes, you can. You must decide what you want out of the finished product.
Design trends change and homeowners want a lighter more open look. Kitchens and master bathrooms have changed over the last 20 years. Who would have thought you could talk to your appliances?
Sometimes we need to take down walls (we always consult with a structural engineer) to open up a space. This is where 3D rendering is a big help. You must figure out how the other rooms change if you add space to another room. Floor plans should be figured out for furniture placement and traffic flow. You don’t want to make the kitchen bigger and then find out you don’t have a place for your TV.
Many of the older luxury homes in McKinney have great floor plans and are well-built. Exteriors can be changed, but they don’t always have to.
The interior is where we can update your home to make it look like a new luxury home.
Most importantly, you should work with an interior designer who can help you with a detailed plan and has good connections with contractors.
What rooms in your home should you update?
The Kitchen.
The kitchen is the most important and most expensive room to update. A lot of the kitchen cabinets in luxury homes are good quality Sometimes they can be repainted for a fresh look. For example, if you repaint your cabinets, add new hardware, a new light quartzite countertop, new light fixtures, wall paint, and new appliances, you will end up with a kitchen that looks new without having to spend as much money. Check out the before and after photos below for a kitchen remodel that I did for one of my clients.
After photo. In this kitchen remodel we painted the cabinets white refinished the floor to a darker color and lightened up the paint. We also changed the lighting, backsplash, countertops, rugs, draperies, furniture, and accessories. The homeowner saved a lot of money by not replacing the cabinets. – photo credit: Beth Singer Photography

This is a 3D rendering of a kitchen for one of my clients. In this remodeling project, we completely remodeled the kitchen. We took down a wall and put in a laminated beam for support. This opens the living room to the kitchen.
The Master Bathroom
A master bathroom is a good room to completely remodel. This room is not as expensive to remodel as the kitchen We are seeing more large showers with body sprays, overhead rain showers, steam rooms, and beautiful tile. Lighting can also be improved. The photo below shows sconce lights on either side of the mirror for better make-up lighting.
I designed the master bath using computer-aided design to show the client would be able to visualize her space. We removed unused space from the master bedroom to redesign and enlarge the bathroom.
This was a complete master bath makeover.
Rest of the House
You need to blend the rest of the house with what you are doing in the kitchen. The whole house should bend together with paint, furniture, window coverings, and flooring. Your home will never look good if you are using the same furniture you bought 20 years ago.
If you have some good furniture, it can be mixed in with some new pieces to give you a fresh look. You might need to replace most of your sofas and chairs to get a newer fresh look. They can have cleaner more modern styling. If done correctly the mixture of traditional and cleaner lines gives you a very sophisticated artsy look. Add some modern artwork and accessories and your home will look beautiful.
Updated lighter look. The original bedroom was very dark and heavy looking. We kept the nightstands and lamps and then we recovered their chaise. Then we added a new bed, bench, rug, carpet, bench, and bedspread. We also lighten up the wall color. photo credit: Beth Singer Photography
