Many people think of a backsplash as a decorative flourish and, thus, consider it something of an "extra" when undertaking their kitchen or bathroom remodeling projects. While a properly installed, well-thought-out backsplash can add an elegant touch to the interior design of these rooms, their purpose is more than simply aesthetic.

Here at David Waller Interiors, we are big fans of backsplashes, both for their aesthetic qualities and their functionality. Here's why.

How can you prepare for this, and other, unpleasant surprises? With the help from David Waller Interiors.

Whether it’s a countertop in a Deltona, FL kitchen that needs some remodeling, or a bathroom in Orange Beach that you plan to remodel for more storage, there will probably be some unexpected challenge.

Renovation is seldom a straight line, and budgeting isn’t just a simple matter of buying appliances or accessories. Your head might be filled of gorgeous decorating ideas from Pinterest or design magazines, but there can be things like a rotting sub-floor, a support wall that can’t be knocked down, insufficient electric systems, or ceiling heights that need to be raised.  

Summertime is right around the corner. Feel free to cheer, it’s finally almost here! While our winters are indeed mild, there’s just something invigorating about the arrival of summer weather. It’s the happy start to a lovely season that sparks joy in many, and with it comes that sense of renewal; of wanting to update everything in our home. 

One of the most rewarding and challenging aspects of interior design is making sure you are getting the most bang for your buck. A lot of times finding ways to shave off the costs of little things here and there, can open up resources to splurge on larger, more important things.

Kitchen and bathroom remodels aren't cheap, but if you know what you are doing, and you play your cards right, nothing is nonachievable! Clearly, planning is key. Here are some areas you should focus on when making those plans:

A remodel for the kitchen and bathroom can be wildly unique, depending upon the exact specifications of the homeowner. For instance, one might prefer an entire remodel of both spaces, from new paint and flooring, to new appliances. Other may prefer only a few changes in one or both spaces. The good news is, there’s no “wrong” way to remodel these spaces, as long as the final result is exactly what you want and need.
