10 Amazing Ideas to Make Your Home Awesome

This is a sponsored guest post that may or may not reflect the views of Mommy Ramblings.

Most of us have a vision of what we would imagine to be the perfect home. Whether you want it to be modern, have amazing landscaping, or have a spectacular pool, customizing your home is one of the many rewards of home ownership.

If you need help in sparking your creative side, here are 10 amazing ideas to help make your home awesome.

Moat Pool

At first glance, these pools may seem like some kind of home protection strategy, but the fact is they provide a great look and can be quite popular in the right situation. If the idea of a moat pool surrounding your home conjures up images of Medieval castles and drop-down bridges, take a look at modern moat pools and see how far they have come.

Hanging Bed

Here is a trend that has been popping up lately. Suspend your bed from the ceiling and swing yourself to sleep. The bed can be made from wood, concrete, or plastic, but you’ll definitely want strong beams and a professional installation.

Automatic Window Shades

There are few things more convenient than being able to hit a button and have all of your window shades go up or down. Motorized blinds and shades allow you to manage the ambience, privacy, and sun level of each room quickly without the fuss of cords and pulleys.

Interior Cat Transit System

If you are a fan of cats, then you already know that they like to live in a world of their own. The cat transit system allows them to travel the house in the privacy of their own little tunnels.

Glass Floors

How about a glass floor in one of your rooms? It can make some people a bit nervous standing on one, but having a glass floor adds a coolness factor to most homes. Instead of glass you can also have smooth concrete floors with tile or glass features combining the best of both worlds.

Retractable Pool Table

Imagine having a few guests over for dinner and all of a sudden, a full-sized pool table appears from out of the wall. That is high-speed to say the least.

Concrete Crib

There is a company called “Concrete Crib” that can make custom concrete furniture like tables, benches, pools, and counters. Any of their unique creations would be certain to add that special wow factor to any home. Concrete products are popular because not only are they unique, they are easy to clean and durable as well.

Outdoor Movie Screen

Everyone loves going to the drive-in and enjoying a giant movie screen outdoors, but they really don’t compare to having one in your backyard. You can invite friends and family over to see the latest and greatest movies without having to drive anywhere.

Skateboard Room

This might appeal more to the younger generation but how about a room with built-in skateboard ramps? How many times have you seen something like that? If you want to impress your friends, add one of these to your contemporary house.

Spiral Wine Cellar

You don’t have to be a huge fan of wine to appreciate the beauty of a spiral wine cellar. Your guests will be impressed at this amazing feature in your home.

Regardless of which route you take in personalizing your home, it’s always exciting to seek out fun and new things that you can add. Whether it’s a small bowling alley, or a rooftop tennis court, the options are practically limitless.

Beautify Your Home With Porcelain Tile

Porcelain floor tiles are the hardest and most durable tile option available. They are available in two types – through bodied and glazed. Through bodied have the color and pattern throughout the tile whereas glazed tiles are covered with a hard finish, which makes them very strong and dense. They are available in a wide selection of colors and sizes, making it very easy for you to customize patterns. They resist water, stains, scratches, chips and even mold and mildew. They are also relatively easy to keep clean. Because of their versatility, porcelain floor tiles are a fantastic option for just about any room in your home.

Bathroom

The bathroom sees not only a lot of foot traffic, but a lot of moisture as well. People often spend a lot of time in this room. Humidity often finds its way onto every bathroom surface. Water from showers and baths is routinely splashed or dripped onto the floor. Damp towels may be left lying around. Porcelain is an excellent choice for flooring, walls and even counters. It will resist all of the moisture in the air. It will also make your bathroom a gorgeous place to be. By choosing the right colors and smaller tiles, you can create a relaxing pattern on floors and walls.

Kitchen

The kitchen is another room that sees a good amount of use. The durability of porcelain floor tiles ensures that your floor will resist damage from foot traffic, but remain shiny and bright for many years. Large tiles can make the kitchen appear more open. Smaller porcelain tiles are also excellent for walls and floors. You can create unique patterns on your wall to create a specific atmosphere. Their durability makes them excellent for counters.

Entryway

Large floor tiles can create a very open and inviting entry to your home that is also resistant to most damage. You can also use a variety of sizes to once again create a unique pattern.

Porcelain floor tiles are extremely versatile. You can use them on the floors, walls and counters of various rooms to unify the house. And, with the overwhelming variety of colors and patterns available, you can create your own unique atmosphere that is both beautiful and long-lasting.
