From the deep green library to the light-filled primary bathroom and richly layered bedroom, there is a strong sense of personality throughout. Rather than relying on one design style, the home brings together color, natural wood, warm metals, pattern, and traditional details in a way that feels collected instead of overly coordinated. A Library That Isn't Afraid of Color The home office immediately stands out with its floor-to-ceiling built-ins painted a deep, saturated gree

For a long time, the bathtub was treated as a pretty standard bathroom feature. It went against a wall, usually under a window if you were lucky, surrounded by tile, and that was about the extent of the conversation. But when we start designing a bathroom renovation today, there are so many more possibilities. A bathtub can be a quiet architectural feature, the focal point of the entire room, part of a larger wet room, or simply a really comfortable place to unwind at the end

There is an interesting balance that comes with renovating a home you love, but know may not be your forever home. You still want to walk into the space every day and feel like it reflects you. You want finishes you genuinely love, quality materials, and a design that makes the investment worthwhile. But somewhere in the back of your mind, you are also thinking about the next homeowner. That was the design conversation behind Project Smugglers, a primary bathroom remodel by D

If you are hoping to enjoy a newly renovated kitchen, finished basement, home addition, or major remodel sometime in 2027, it might feel a little early to start thinking about it. It is not. One of the biggest misconceptions we see in residential remodeling is that the project begins when construction begins. In reality, construction is only one part of the process. Before the first wall comes down, there are layouts to work through, budgets to establish, finishes to select,

A basement can be extra square footage, or it can become one of the most useful parts of a home. For Project Crooked Tree, the reason behind the renovation mattered just as much as the finished design. This family wanted to make it possible for multiple generations to live closer together while still giving everyone a comfortable, functional space of their own. What began as an empty basement became a complete living space with a kitchen, living area, new flooring, and a reno

There is a question that comes up surprisingly often during a renovation: “But what will the next buyer think?” It is a fair question. Your home is likely one of your biggest investments, and nobody wants to spend significant money making choices that hurt its value. But there is another question we think deserves just as much attention: What do you think? If you are planning to live in your home for another five, ten, or fifteen years, designing every room around a hypotheti

Some rooms are beautiful, but you forget about them five minutes after you leave. Others stick with you. Usually, the difference is not that one room had a bigger budget or more expensive finishes. It is that someone made an interesting choice. Maybe they wrapped the ceiling in wood, used an antique cabinet as a bathroom vanity, carried dramatic tile somewhere unexpected, or chose a light fixture that feels more like art than lighting. Those choices give a home personality. A

When a home starts feeling too small, adding square footage can seem like the obvious answer. You need a bigger kitchen, another bathroom, more storage, a better primary suite, or simply more room for everyone to spread out. But more square footage is not always the first thing we would recommend. At DuBois Design+Build, one of the first things we look at is whether the home is actually too small or whether the existing square footage simply is not working hard enough. Awkwar

If you've ever walked through a beautifully remodeled home and thought, "This just feels different," it usually isn't because of one flashy feature. It's because of dozens of thoughtful decisions that make everyday life easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. The best luxury upgrades aren't always the ones that grab attention on social media. They're the ones homeowners appreciate every morning, every dinner with friends, and every quiet evening at home. At DuBois Desig

Every homeowner wants their home to feel special. Not necessarily bigger, but better. The truth is, some of the most memorable homes are not the largest. They are the ones where every detail feels intentional. The lighting is warm, the trim feels substantial, the storage actually works, and every room seems to have been designed specifically for the people who live there. At DuBois Design+Build, we've found that creating a custom home isn't about adding more square footage. I

Some homes have plenty of square footage but still don't function the way the homeowners need them to. That was exactly the challenge with Project Hill. Two bedrooms were connected by a traditional Jack and Jill bathroom, which worked well enough years ago but no longer fit the way the family wanted to live. Sharing a bathroom meant sacrificing privacy, and despite having enough overall space, much of it simply wasn't being used efficiently. Rather than expanding the home, we

If you've ever fallen in love with a home on social media only to wonder if it will still feel current in ten years, you're not alone. Design trends move quickly. A color, finish, or style can seem to be everywhere one year and disappear just a few years later. When you're investing in a luxury renovation or custom home, those decisions carry a lot more weight. Beautiful design should still feel beautiful long after the latest trends have come and gone. At DuBois Design+Build

When your home no longer fits your lifestyle, one big question usually follows: Should we move, or should we renovate? It is one of the most common conversations we have with homeowners. Some have outgrown their homes. Others are frustrated by outdated layouts, cramped kitchens, or bathrooms that no longer function the way they should. Many assume buying a different house is the obvious answer. Sometimes it is. But many times, renovating the home you already love ends up bein

Why Better Design Often Beats a Bigger House There is a moment many homeowners reach during a renovation conversation. The kitchen feels cramped. The primary suite feels disconnected. The dining room sits empty while everyone gathers somewhere else. Suddenly the answer seems obvious: we need to add on. And sometimes you absolutely do! But after years of designing and remodeling homes, we've found that many homeowners don't actually need more square footage. They need their ex

A beautiful kitchen is important, but a truly successful kitchen is one that functions effortlessly every day. At DuBois Design+Build, we have walked through countless homes across Colorado and seen the same pattern: homeowners often think they need new finishes when what they really need is a better layout. The truth is, even the most expensive kitchen can feel frustrating if the design does not support how people actually live. A well-designed kitchen should make cooking ea

When many homeowners hear the phrase "aging in place," they picture hospital-style grab bars, institutional finishes, and a home that feels more focused on function than beauty. The reality is very different. Today's aging in place design is some of the smartest, most luxurious design happening in residential remodeling. In fact, many of the features that make a home safer and more accessible also make it more beautiful, more comfortable, and easier to live in every day. The

Lighting is one of the most powerful design elements in a home, yet it is often one of the last decisions homeowners make during a renovation. We see it all the time. A homeowner spends months selecting cabinetry, flooring, countertops, tile, and paint colors, only to realize near the end of the project that they have not thought much about the lighting. Unfortunately, lighting is not just a finishing touch. It can completely change how a space looks, feels, and functions. At

Flooring is one of the biggest design decisions you will make during a renovation. It impacts how your home feels, how it functions, how it ages, and honestly, how stressful daily life feels. The right flooring can make a home feel warm, cohesive, elevated, and effortless. The wrong flooring can become a daily frustration faster than most homeowners expect. At DuBois Design+Build, flooring conversations come up in almost every project we take on. Kitchen remodels, whole-home

Renovating your home is exciting. It is also exhausting, emotional, disruptive, rewarding, and occasionally overwhelming, sometimes all in the same week. Most homeowners spend months saving inspiration photos, dreaming about their future kitchen, imagining family gatherings in a new space, or finally creating the primary bathroom they have always wanted. What they do not always expect is what daily life feels like while the renovation is actually happening. At DuBois Design+B

Yes. Here’s Why This Trend Actually Makes Sense. Is Color Drenching Just Another Passing Trend? If you have spent any time scrolling through interior design inspiration lately, you have probably seen color drenching everywhere. Moody libraries wrapped entirely in deep green. Powder bathrooms painted floor to ceiling in rich terracotta. Bedrooms layered in soft taupe from the walls to the trim to the ceiling. And naturally, homeowners are asking the same question: Will this ag
