These Materials Are Making the Mark This Year
When it comes to your custom bedroom or mudroom built in cabinets, birch veneer plywood should be your go-to choice. Because this material is heavy duty, it can take all of the wear and tear that bedroom built ins and mudroom cubbies tend to experience over the years. Plus, it’s finish is absolutely beautiful — not only is it smooth to the touch, but it also primes and paints to perfection, making the finished project a functional (and fashionable!) addition to any home.
Colors You Can Count on This Year
One year neutral paint colors are in, the next year is all about a dark palette — this year it’s all about the white paint! In fact, white is the top choice this year for homeowners when it comes to painting their bedroom or mudroom carpentry customizations. From mudroom built in cabinets to other custom carpentry work, any shade of white is the way to go to ensure these rooms are on trend this year. Just be sure to opt for a high-quality paint product, such as Benjamin Moore’s Main Line Enamel, to help your white look pristine for years to come.
