How Our Showroom Remodel Relates to You

May 25, 2019 by iccfloors Leave a Comment

We are incredibly excited about our showroom remodel for several reasons. First, it gives us a chance to offer a world-class experience to our customers. In our new showroom, customers will be able to enjoy a one-stop-shop. During your shopping and design experience, we hope to provide you with ease of mind. Our new showroom will help ensure a smooth transition between design projects. You will not have to worry about miscommunication and delays with different contractors because it will all be serviced by our team. The second reason we are excited about the showroom remodel is that we are eager to experience the design process ourselves. While we are all homeowners, it is exciting to come together as a team and unite with one project in mind: the new showroom.

While designing our showroom, we faced design challenges that would be no different from the ones you would meet in your own project. In fact, we wanted to use those experiences to help guide you on your next redesign. That is why we created four tips for mastering a design project. Whether it be a remodel, renovation, redesign, or a project where you are starting from scratch, these tips are sure to come in handy with your next project.

Have a Plan, but Try to Be Flexible

Whenever you begin any type of home project, it is essential to have a plan set in place. With our redesign, we had to work around our installer’s regular work hours. Similarly, ICC Home’s installers will work around your schedule to provide you with the best service. That being said, during a project, we always encourage flexibility. We do not expect anything to happen, but in case an unforeseen circumstance arises, it is important to have a little wiggle room with the project’s timeline.

Understand Your Wants & Needs

During our remodel, we had to select products that would be set up in our mini “room scenes.” To do so, we needed to understand the different styles and features associated with each product. Additionally, we had to decide which manufacturers to showcase. Similarly, you will need to understand your lifestyle and your family’s wants and needs. For example, if you are designing an active space, you may opt for a more durable flooring or countertop choice. It is important to understand your home’s lifestyle before making a decision. If you are unfamiliar with products that align well with your family’s needs, no need to worry! Our expert sales associates will help guide you to the perfect selections for your home.

Let Your Space Inspire You

Everyone’s space is entirely different. You will want to hone in on your house’s key characteristics and optimize its architecture during the design. For example, we have a large showroom, and we wanted to showcase several room scenes. During the remodel, we had to work around our space and see what the best layout would be for our project. Similarly, you can use your house as inspiration. Try to balance the design to highlight your home’s architecture while not overbearing the space. It is an art, but it is easier to do, and do not worry; we are here to help!

Sample Your Paint

As paint experts, we understand how different a paint color can look in your own home. That is why we recommend taking a sample home and trying it out on different areas of the wall. You ideally want to look at the sample in different lighting and different times of the day. After, you will be able to determine the best paint option for your home.

In conclusion, you are not alone. Our team of experts is happy to help with any questions you might have because we have been there ourselves. Please do not hesitate to visit one of our showrooms to learn more about the product line. We are open during the remodel. Plus, stay tuned for our special announcement in June! You will not want to miss it.

Behind the Scenes of the ICC Home Redesign

May 18, 2019 by iccfloors Leave a Comment

As we remodel the ICC Home showroom, we, like many homeowners, face the many challenging and fun aspects of design. While designing and planning our new layout, we needed to focus on making the showroom convenient and easy to navigate as well as beautiful. During this time, we also were in the process of rebranding our image–this included purchasing and designing new store signage, ordering and selecting materials to set up our “room scene” examples as well as picking out what products and manufacturers we wanted to feature throughout the space.

As you may already know, designing a corporate space involves similar aspects of design that you would see in your own home design. During a redesign, you have to pre-plan a lot of features before the work can begin. We had to look at our past experiences and use them to determine what was the correct flooring amount for the project, what features would work well with the other design elements as well as what the timeframe would be. Additionally, we had schedule installers after hours and on weekends for them to install our products.

During this time, we faced design challenges that would be no different from the ones you would meet. We had to determine when to have the floors installed, and whether they should go in before the cabinets or if the flooring would go in after the cabinets. We firmly believe that as homeowners, who have designed their own homes and have been through this redesign experience ourselves, we can help you master any design project. In fact, you will find our new showroom to be very user-friendly. We hope our new showroom provides you with ease of mind while shopping and making your design decisions.

With all of this being said, we cannot wait to showcase our new showroom to you. We hope you love it as much as we do. In fact, we are excited to feature a special announcement in June, so be sure to check back weekly to make sure you do not miss it. Thank you again for your continuous support, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future.

Where to Begin: Home Remodel

December 14, 2018 by iccfloors Leave a Comment

Whether you have just moved into a new home or you are just looking to renovate your home, remodeling your space can take a significant amount of time and come with a price tag. It is best to have a general sense of everything you want to accomplish in your home before you start; however, tackling every room and every desire at once may not be feasible. You will need to decide what your remodeling priorities are and make sure you direct your initial efforts towards those areas at first. We put together some simple guidelines to help you establish where to begin in your home remodel and how to access it along the way. Let’s take a look!

The Essentials

First things first, always start with the essentials. Do you have a room in your home that the remodel or renovation is essential to your living environment? Perhaps, a room has broken appliances, or you have a child on the way. Always start your remodeling with rooms that need to be done and have a deadline. This is where you will need to start.

Most Facilitated

What rooms do you use the most? It will not make sense to start with the guest room if you have never had guest over to your home. Start your remodeling process with the rooms that you are always spending the most time. It will be difficult with these rooms out of commission during the remodeling process, but they are a smart starting choice. Trust us, you would much rather spend a majority of your budget on frequently-used rooms rather than unused ones.

Important to Your Lifestyle

Next, look at the room that is most suitable for your lifestyle. If you work from home, you may want to finish the office next. If your lifestyle has you spending a lot of time in the kitchen meal prepping, this may be a suitable room to remodel. Look at your home and locate the spaces which the remodel or renovation will help make your lifestyle easier.

The Want List

Lastly, you should make your “Want List.” This is the room you can live without, but you really want in your home. Maybe a home theatre, a man cave, a home gym, or a music studio. If these choices fall into benefiting your career, move them out of the want list, but most of our want lists are solely extras. This will be one of the most satisfying ones to complete and remodel but should be saved for last like dessert.

Remodeling your home takes time and money. Every project can be as big or as little as you want. Decide how large you want your projects to be before beginning. To help maintain a budget and peace of mind, complete each task before beginning a new one.

Are you ready to begin your remodel? We would love to help you with all of your remodeling needs here at ICC Home, where we hope to be your one-stop-shop. Visit us or call us for more information. We look forward to working with you!
