Us vs Builder

The builder offered a half wall on the stairwell, but we decided to open it up and I am obsessed!!

... Read moreWhen building a new home, decisions about space design can significantly impact both aesthetics and functionality. Opting to open up the stairwell rather than installing a half wall creates an open, airy feeling that can make your home appear larger and more connected. Open stairwells enhance natural light flow, creating brighter common areas that are welcoming and comfortable. This design choice also offers flexibility in furniture placement and interior decoration. In contrast, half walls might provide safety and some privacy but can restrict sight lines and create a more segmented space. Many homeowners find that the open stairwell approach complements modern architectural trends focused on openness and minimal barriers within living spaces. Additionally, open stairwells can increase home value by appealing to buyers who prefer contemporary layouts and spacious interiors. However, it's important to consider safety for families with small children or elderly members. Adding sturdy railings and ensuring proper lighting can help mitigate any concerns. Ultimately, customizing your stairwell to fit your lifestyle and design goals creates a living space that feels uniquely yours. Consulting with your builder early in the process to discuss the pros and cons of each option will ensure that your new construction meets your vision for a beautiful and functional home.

Extension gel VS builder gel 🤔
I’m sure there are other differences in gels, such as ingredients or chemical composition. I encourage you to do your own research! For me, the only difference I’m concerned with is the thickness. Because I use these gels interchangeably with extensions, they can both be used to apply my extensions
