Ways to Make Your Home Look Modern

A modern design is very popular among homeowners and homebuyers for various reasons. Discover a few ways to make your home look more modern and appealing.

When it comes to increasing your home’s overall value or even just adopting a new style, a modern aesthetic is one of the best ways to go. This type of home design is sleek, clean, and minimalistic, allowing homeowners to accommodate their specific lifestyles while saving ample amounts of space. You don’t need to renovate your entire home with this idea in mind, but having some modern qualities can help you achieve a higher level of design and even get optimal use of your home. These are some ways to make your home look more modern.

Incorporate Metal Finishes

The cool texture of metal hardware is one of the defining features of modern design. Whether it’s copper, silver, or gold, these surfaces catch the eye and add a touch of elegance to a room. For a modern style, this elegance is often subtle—used primarily for kitchen and bathroom drawer handles and lighting fixtures. Additionally, implementing these sheens along your kitchen and bathroom hardware gives you more freedom to experiment with unique handle shapes to go with the cabinetry.

Cover Your Old Heating Systems

Another effective way to make your home look more modern is to cover up your old, rusted baseboard heating systems. These utilities are crucial to maintaining your home’s climate , but as they age, they can suffer exterior damage that leaves them looking much older than the surrounding property. This one spot can greatly affect how guests perceive your home and diminish all the hard work you put into its overall style. Galvanized Steel baseboard heater covers from EZ Snap™ Covers are designed to complement the popular modern aesthetic, so you can seamlessly incorporate them into your home. With these covers, you can reap all the benefits of a modern design with minimal time and expense.

Update Your Color Scheme

The modern home also utilizes color differently than many other types of design. In fact, the best way to describe this aesthetic would be as a series of contrasts. Black-and-white is one classic color scheme that accomplishes this very well. White is also often used in tandem with a bolder color to provide some depth. These color schemes pair well with metallic finishes as well, so you can use them in addition to your new hardware to create an interesting accent.

Wall Widget

EZ Snap™ Wall Widgets are used when your old or existing wall back plate has been removed or if you have to hang your new cover 1 inch or higher to bring them up to a height that will fit our installation guidelines. Just measure your overall desired height, subtract 1", drill a hole, preferably in a stud and attach it to the wall with the included screw.

Floor Fidgets

EZ Snap™ Floor Fidgets easily raise your new covers ¾ inch to compensate for any ¾ inch floor (wood, tile, or other) that has been installed any time since your baseboard heater was originally installed. May be used for any reason when the overall height has been shortened and the total height is less than 7-½ inches for standard height or 9-½ inches for the TALL height EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Covers. Just use the self-tapping screws to secure them to the top of your existing wallplate.

Wall Contraptions

EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions are used when your wall back plate has been completely removed. EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions receives your EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Cover and keeps your aluminum fin tube from sagging. These completely replace your wall back plate. To install, slide up from the bottom and make sure the top is at your desired height. Screw to the wall, then bend the front finger up to hold the fin tube in place.
