Home Update Ideas: Practical, Easy and Impactful

Give a Great First Impression - Update Your Entryway


A quick and easy way to refresh the entrance to your home is with new door hardware. Choose a style and finish that will coordinate with your light fixtures and the style of your home. Emtek offers high-quality hardware that will accentuate the distinctive character of your home. Another great option for door hardware is Schlage, with a wide selection to match any home décor. While you are sprucing up, replace your old doormat and place a container garden on the front stoop. Add new house numbers to coordinate with your door hardware and light fixtures, and you have a brand new look!

Replacing or adding outdoor lighting will give your entry a warm, inviting glow. For walkways, Kichler offers decorative or hidden path and spread lighting, designed to integrate with the architecture and shed soft, balanced lighting where it's wanted. Whether your home is traditional or modern, Kichler also has the wall lights, hanging lights or posts to bring beauty and character to your entrance.


Inspire Your Inner Cook with a Refreshed Kitchen

If you have a painted backsplash area, adding tile can transform the space with style and visual interest. Florida Tile has a beautiful array of backsplash tiles that will improve the look of any kitchen. Mosaic, glass, pebbles, natural stone, stainless steel- they have it all. Visit the Florida Tile website for inspiration, or take a look at our Kitchen Updates page for more information.

Update the style and function in your kitchen while maximizing energy and cost savings with new appliances. Global Sales has now added Samsung and LG to our appliances line-up, and we offer very competitive pricing as well as cost-effective shipping.Let us help you choose the right model to fit your space and budget.

Simply switching out your existing cabinet hardware can make a big difference in your kitchen. We recommend Amerock for their wide variety of beautiful styles and finishes, which gives you the ability to coordinate your hardware choice with lighting or other fixtures.

You will see your kitchen in a whole new light with new light fixtures. Adding pendant lighting above an island or breakfast bar improves function with flair. Kichler lighting is available in style families that allow you to coordinate your lighting look throughout your kitchen or your home, with a selection that will enhance any décor and fit your budget.
Take Your Bathroom from Tired to Revitalized

Wake up a small, dark bathroom with a bold wall color and some new light fixtures. Our favorite go-to for beautiful paint is Behr. Browse colors on their website for some inspiration. Updated light fixtures will also have a big impact in a small space. Choose new fixtures that will coordinate with faucets and other hardware. Kichler's extensive line of lighting has the style and look -from sophisticated to daring, sublime to edgy- to create a statement in any room.

Another great way to light up a bathroom is with a glass shower or tub enclosure. With minimal expense, replacing an old shower curtain with a frameless glass enclosure will really open up a small space and make it seem larger while bringing value and style to your home. Each glass enclosure is custom built to fit your exact specifications and carefully packaged and crated to arrive safely for easy installation.

Updating faucets, showerheads and hardware is another easy way to give your bathroom an instant facelift. Both Kohler and Vigo offer lines of coordinating fixtures with a wide selection of styles. With new fixtures you will not only add style, but improved performance in this hard-working room. Cabinet hardware can be replaced with new knobs and pulls, and don't forget the accessories! Choose towel bars, hooks and shelving to coordinate with your new fixtures for a finished look.
