Davie FL homes for sale
are in hot demand. You may not be ready to sell, but you may feel like you’d like to put some new life into your home. Here are some tips for updating your home using the latest decorating trends.
Navy blue is turning up everywhere. For example, navy blue kitchen cabinets with white countertops and silver accents, for door and drawer handles, works to create a modern but appealing kitchen design. In fact, some designers are using navy for the kitchen island and a lighter color for other cabinets.
If you already have white countertops, all you need is a bit of paint. If you’re considering changing the countertops, consider quartz. It’s almost maintenance free because it resists stains and scratches. It also doesn’t need to be sealed like other types of stone.
Kitchen islands are very useful and they’ll probably be in style over the long-term. They provide additional seating space and encourage more than one cook in the kitchen due to the extra prep space. You can customize yours with open shelving and charging stations.
Another alternative for charging your various devices is to install a drawer that holds electrical outlets. Your counters can stay clear while you prepare your phones and tablets for use.
For 2017, Pantone chose a green color called Greenery as the color of the year. It’s perfect for Florida’s indoor/outdoor lifestyles. If you’re looking for a bold change, try painting the walls of your room in a shade of Greenery, then include other color accents to bring the room to life. Navy and Greenery go very well together, bringing a fresh outlook to any room.
Bathrooms continue to be turned into spa-like getaways. You could consider the use of a freestanding tub to create a focus for the room. Claw foot tubs are always popular, but there are also very modern designs that almost look like a work of art.
Frameless shower doors have been popular lately. Another trend to consider is the “curb less” shower. Proponents of this design point out that a shower is safer when you don’t need to step into it. In addition, new construction methods make adding a curb less shower much easier than you might think. The other great thing about them is the clean look you can achieve to set your bath apart from the rest!
Another trend you’ll see is the move to larger tile in the bath. People seem to like the uninterrupted look and cleaning is easier with fewer grout lines. Tiles today can range from 12×24 inches up to 18×36 inches in size.
Another trend that can help brighten up a room is an accent wall. Traditionally, homeowners painted one wall a relatively bold color to bring depth into a room. Today, accent walls are made from a variety of materials. Shiplap is being called passé by some, but it’s still very popular for those who want more rustic charm. Other accent walls use 3D wall panels to add texture. 3D panels come in a variety of designs; some are geometric while others mimic the waves of the ocean. If you’re big into do-it-yourself projects, you’ll find peel and stick panels that you can paint to match your décor.

If you’re planning to purchase one of our lovely Davie FL homes for sale, you might be wondering how you could get involved in the community. If you already live in Davie, you may be familiar with the Old Davie School facility, but you may not know that it’s more than a museum!
The Old Davie School Historial Museum collects, preserves, interprets and educates people about the heritage, culture, and history of the Davie community and western Broward County. In 1984, the David School Foundation was created to restore the school building. The Town of Davie, the Broward County School Board, the Davie Historical Association and the Soroptimist International of Davie (a global women’s organization) support the Foundation.
The School was designed by August Geiger, one of Florida’s prominent architects. It opened in 1918 with approximately 90 students. Since that time, the school building has been used as a town hall, dance hall and office space. Today, the property consists of a restored schoolroom in the original schoolhouse building, a renovated Pioneer Home, and two 1912 homes that were brought to the site for display.
The museum lets you visit the area’s history and agricultural past. Its artifacts, maps and photographs take you back through the history that formed the community known as The Town of Davie. Tours are by appointment only.
Public and private schools, groups of homeschoolers and civic organizations often take advantage of the tours. If you need funding for a tour, ask about the School Board of Broward County’s Supplemental Arts and Sciences Program (SASP) for your area.
