What’s the difference between mid-century modern and farmhouse?

• <div><p>Mid-century modern and farmhouse design are similar in that they focus on simple yet beautiful design, but the difference is that mid-century modern tends to include bolder colors and more striking furniture design. You’ll see more geometric shapes and curves in furniture with mid-century modern and a more rustic, rigid look with farmhouse design that feels a bit less playful. Farmhouse design also lends itself more to neutral colors and earthy tones, while mid-century modern can also include bold yellows, oranges, greens, and reds. </p></div>

Is it worth it to renovate before moving?

• <div><p>Renovating just before a move is worth it in cases of severe damage or decay—or if you're actually just making<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-renovations-for-flipping-house.htm"> home improvements to flip</a> and sell a property. If your home is in otherwise good condition, don't burden yourself with additional tasks when you're already busy packing. And if something needs to be fixed, try to plan to do it at least a few months before your big move. </p></div>

What is modern cottage-style?

• <div><p>Modern cottage style holds true to the traditional architectural components of a cottage—including a small footprint, simple floor plan, and a focus on connection to nature. However, it also embraces more modern styling ideas that add some elegance to the rustic appearance, similar to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dreaming-french-country-home.htm">French country home style</a>. The style includes natural materials, like wood, stone, and linen, but it presents them in a more modern or even contemporary way. Some modern cottage homes even incorporate more ornate decor, which wouldn’t hold up in a traditional cottage that focuses on simplicity and functionality over flashiness.</p></div>

Do installations include custom mantels?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals offer mantel and surround customization for aesthetic appeal.</p></div>

Does raising a ceiling add value to your home?

• <div><p>According to some studies, homes with 9-foot-or-higher ceilings can sell for 6% more than homes with lower ceilings. If you think you might wish to sell your home in the future and desire the look of a higher ceiling, this project could be a worthwhile investment. </p></div>
