Creating Hidden Spaces That Wow
One of our favorite ways to add a touch of creativity and surprise to a home is by designing hidden spaces using cleverly placed doors, panels, or even bookshelves. Whether it’s a playroom tucked behind a built-in bookcase, a secret reading nook, or a laundry room seamlessly hidden behind a wall of cabinetry, these spaces bring both function and fun. It’s all about using every inch of a home wisely—without sacrificing style.
Strategically designed hidden doors allow rooms to feel clean and uncluttered while giving homeowners a special space that feels uniquely theirs. We love collaborating with clients to imagine where these tucked-away spots might go and how we can make them both practical and playful. Looking to incorporate a hidden gem into your home? We’d love to help you bring the idea to life!
Project Inspiration: Laundry, Dining & Kitchen Update
Check out photos from our recently completed remodel for one of our wonderful clients. Their goal was to create a more updated kitchen with a space that flowed together with the dining room and to create some storage in their laundry room. You can also see a great example of color drenching in the laundry room, where everything is a dusty mauve color.
Project Update 2:Building Clients for Life
At Laurel Builders, we’re all about building more than just homes—we build lasting relationships. Our goal isn’t just to win a project, but to earn a client for life. This recent remodel is a great example! Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with this wonderful client multiple times on everything from a kitchen renovation to a new deck. This most recent project included a refresh for their entryway, mudroom, and bathrooms. We’re excited to share highlights from this most recent transformation, that includes a few pics from past projects we’ve completed together.
In Our Next Issue...
Our next quarterly newsletter will include more tips and design inspiration as well as photos from a full house remodel!
