The Magic of Modernizing

Why kitchens and bathrooms are ideal places to start renovations

Maybe you’ve lived in your current home for a while, and you are ready to remodel some of the rooms with modern and stylish upgrades.

Or perhaps you recently purchased a house and want to do some renovations sooner rather than later, in order to transform it into the home of your dreams.

Whatever your home remodel goals may be, you might understandably wonder where you should begin.

Do you start in your bedroom, upgrading where you sleep into an amazing haven; the living room, where you enjoy hanging out and watching television with family and friends, or other spaces?

As Brad and Marina Farnham, Owners of Quality Custom Home Interiors note, the two best rooms to begin a home remodel are the kitchen and bathroom.

“These are great places to get started on transforming your home, because they are heavily used spaces in the house and they impact your daily life,” Marina says, adding that renovated kitchens and bathrooms also offer a high return on the investment.

In addition to giving these rooms beautiful and eye-catching aesthetic changes, Marina notes a remodeled kitchen and bathroom will also include functional upgrades that make using the spaces better than ever.

“We offer kitchen designs that seamlessly blend style with practicality, creating a space perfect for cooking, entertaining, and family time,” she says, adding that this room is truly the heart of the home.

“And we design custom bathrooms with spacious showers, soaking tubs and premium finishes.”

The Farnhams and their team from Quality Custom Home Interiors recently finished a remodel of a kitchen and master bathroom at a home in the East Valley.

As Marina notes, the “before” kitchen was not only outdated, but also featured an awkward layout that made meal prep challenging. 

“We moved the location of the kitchen to give them more space and a nice big island and lots of storage,” she says.

“We also updated all the appliances and added a stunning custom hood.”

The kitchen now not only includes timeless and attractive finishes, it also features an optimized layout that will better serve the family’s everyday needs.

Like the kitchen, Marina says the master bathroom in the home was also in need of a major makeover.

“They had a small, enclosed shower, no storage and a dark space,” she says.

“We were able to brighten up the room and give them a new luxurious and modern bathroom. They now have a large walk-in shower with an open feel with glass and beautiful tile.”

The bathroom also now features custom, separate vanities, which offer both privacy and convenience.

“We also added new flooring and custom-built cabinets for more storage, including linens,” Marina says.

No matter what type of renovation a homeowner might desire, Brad says Quality Custom Home Interiors can handle it.

Since the family-owned and operated interior remodeling business opened 10 years ago, the Farnhams say they have proudly served homeowners throughout the Valley.

“We offer a range of home remodeling services, including custom kitchen and bathroom renovations and elegant living room upgrades such as media built-ins and fireplace wall units,” Marina says, adding that whether Ahwatukee homeowners want to refresh a single room or redesign their entire home, Quality Custom Home Interiors is strongly committed to quality craftsmanship and personalized service.

Also, if clients have a definite idea of how they want to remodel their home, or they know something needs to be changed but they are not sure what or how, the Farnhams and their team are ready and able to assist.

“We have many years of experience with what works and doesn’t work. We offer tools and advice and will make sure you love your space,” Brad says.

“Remodeling is the chance to customize your space that works for you functionally and have it reflect your style. The design elements are endless, and we will handle every aspect of your home transformation with care and expertise.”
