One of the biggest challenges homeowners face is making sure the colours in their home flow well from room to room. A cohesive colour scheme doesn’t mean every room has to be the same colour, but it does mean the colours should complement each other and feel connected.

Start with a base colour that you love, then work in different shades or accent colours to tie everything together. This way, whether you’re walking from the living room into the kitchen or a hallway, everything feels harmonious.

When you’re working with smaller rooms, the right paint colour can make a big difference in how spacious the room feels. Lighter shades, like soft whites, pale greys, or light blues, help reflect more light, which can open up the space and make it feel airy and larger than it is.

Have a can of leftover paint sitting in a closet and feel like getting crafty? Upcycle old baubles by dipping them in leftover paint! Dip the baubles entirely in the paint to give them a whole new look, or dip metallic or sparkly baubles halfway to create a two-toned look. Thread festive ribbons through the ornament caps and hand them above a piece of cardboard or paper to dry. Once dry, decorate your tree with your new ornaments!

Have you noticed small cracks in your drywall that weren't there just a few weeks ago? Drywall cracks in the winter for a number of reasons, including:
➡️ Temperature changes: Drywall expands when it's warm and contracts when it's cold. This natural process can cause drywall to crack, especially in areas with large seasonal temperature differences.
➡️ Humidity changes: Low humidity levels can cause the materials in your home to shrink, which can lead to cracks.
➡️ Truss uplift: Temperature and humidity changes can cause trusses to bow upward, which can crack the drywall where the wall meets the ceiling.
➡️ Foundation settling: As homes age, the ground beneath them can shift, which can cause stress on the home and lead to cracks.
➡️ Faulty taping: If the drywall was installed poorly, it may be more likely to crack.
➡️ Snow or ice on the roof: The weight of snow or ice on the roof can cause the drywall to sag and crack.

To avoid drywall cracks, you can try turning the heat down in your home and use a humidifier to increase the moisture in the air. Need a hand fixing those cracks? Give us a call!
