As we’re rounding the corner into 2022, we’re about to usher in a new year of design trends. Interior design does tend to run slower than other design realms, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of new and exciting styles to look forward to. So, here are 5 upcoming trends that we’re particularly excited about in 2022.

If you’ve ever looked at our price breakdowns for kitchens, you may have noticed that we generally use custom cabinets in our remodels. Why is that?

With Thanksgiving officially around the corner to kick off this holiday season, I wanted to kick off with some festivity of our own. I asked all of my coworkers at Vatter something they were thankful for this year, and here are all our answers.

So, you’d like to renovate your home. How exciting! However, being thrown into an entirely new environment comes with its challenges: mainly, a ton of new technical terms.

“Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.” - Charles H. Spurgeon.

Have you ever been scammed? Not the obvious phone call, "we are trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty" type of scam, but "I bought a product that ended up breaking in 2 days" type of scam

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less” - C.S Lewis, Mere Christianity.

If you're anything like me, you absolutely adore the look of having plants taking up almost every corner of your home. The only problem is, you aren't the best at making sure they stay alive.

When first entering the world of home renovation, it may be difficult to know how to properly vet your contractor. What are the warning signs? How do I know when I’ve hit the jackpot?

We get it: you want to know what’s going on in your own home.

When we live in a world full of passivity, scams, and get-rich-quick schemes, what does it mean to truly value the work we create?

No matter how excited you are to renovate your home, the idea of people that you just met breaking down your living room walls may be a little unnerving.

We’ve all done it. Contractors near me, Kitchen Contractors near me, Bathroom Contractors near me; A quick little search on Google like this that brings you to a list of thousands of contractors. The question remains: Who are these people?

If you’re like me, you tend to do some research before you make your purchases. I try NOT to be that person who shows up to the store with just enough information to be annoying to the salesperson (I’ve been on both ends of that situation!).

Everyone has a different vision of what they want their space to look like. There are endless options and we love that. But one theme that comes up in every consultation is “Organic”.

The original plan was to write about the pros and cons of different countertop choices. Then I realized that I was trying to pack way too much information into one post.

I’m so fortunate that I get to be creative in my job every day. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have an outlet to express myself.
