If you are remodeling your home and looking to add some oomph to a room, try highlighting a wall with stone veneers/ pavers. Adding custom stone wall veneers / pavers creates texture and depth to a normally flat boring surface, consequently providing instant interest and character to the wall–and ultimately space. By emphasizing a wall with a dramatic eye-catching stone effect, it creates a unique fashionable interior design that exudes class and grace. With a variety of finishes offered, the ready clean look of stone will compliment any home style, including traditional as well as contemporary and modern.

Realm of Design cast stone wall pavers and veneers may look and feel like real stone. However, they are manufactured with a light-weight, yet tough and durable polyurethane material that can stand up to wear and tear. And because precast / cast stone wall pavers are less than half the weight of their genuine stone counterpart, they are much easier to install and can virtually be used to accent any wall or structure—including the ceiling. They are also remarkably easy to clean and maintain.

The decorative stone wall pavers provide form and function. Due to their beauty, durability and easy to clean nature, these complimentary wall accents make great kitchen back-splashes and fireplace over-mantels.

 A custom fireplace should be considered the focal point of a room, so why not transform your ordinary fireplace into the most visually exquisite architectural element of your home? Updating a mediocre fireplace into an admirable architectural accent will not only update your room’s décor but it will add value to your property.

The preferred way to give your out-dated fireplace a facelift is to add a new mantel or fireplace surround. And if you really want to create a bold statement, combine it with an over-mantel as well. These decorative items directly improve the appearance of a home’s interior (or exterior) while creating a more luxurious dwelling.

 Fireplace designs and trends can vary year to year, however, the classic styles still remain the most popular custom fireplace trend in 2013 due to its versatility and style longevity. Realm of Design fireplace mantels and surrounds can be customized to suit any style or taste. The company also offers a selection of different fireplace finishes, including Aged Stone which is ideal for those that wish to incorporate Old World Style into their home’s decor. Since being Green is also popular, Realm of Design offers an Eco-friendly building material option (GreenStone) which utilizes recycled glass.

No matter what unique fireplace style or design you choose to improve your room’s setting in 2013, it is sure to be adorned for many years to follow.

A staircase can define the home and set the style tone. It’s what one typically sees first upon gracing a residence through the front entryway. It can either make a great intoxicating impression or be ignored and regarded as just a passageway to get to the next level. Realm of Design believes a stairwell should be more than a functional access way, it should be spectacular.

Stairs may be necessary in multilevel homes but they don’t have to be stale. A conventional average home can be upgraded –in value and in viewing– by transforming a boring plain flight of stairs into an eye-catching signature staircase. Distinctive Stairs designed with custom balusters gives a home more than just a facelift, it creates a bold statement of elegance, sophistication and class.

A Custom designed staircase with a hand-crafted ornate banister is considered a beautiful architectural art form and should be unique and dramatic. Custom stairs should reflect the homeowner’s taste and personality. However, when designing and creating your dream staircase, keep in mind that it should fit within the style of the house as well– because it will become the home’s signature.

Realm of Design has designed and created many interior and exterior custom stairs and staircases with custom banisters and balustrade systems in Las Vegas,  Los Angeles and San Diego. To view some of these spectacular showpieces—including the stairs seen on HGTV Extreme Homes — visit STAIRCASES in Galleries.

Las Vegas and fountains go hand-in-hand. In fact, many casino resorts are known for their fountains…the Bellagio fountains, Caesars Palace fountains—just to name a few. These celebrated attractions bring a sense of balance and harmony to the property and its visitors. Now on a smaller scale, you may not be looking to turn your home into a tourist attraction, but the idea of bringing a sense of comfort to your property is still the same.

Relaxing in a peaceful room or enjoying a yard is a favorite past-time of many homeowners. That harmonious experience can be elevated by adding your own enchanting fountain to your dwelling. This decorative detail will soothe the soul with its tranquil sound of trickling water and aesthetic beauty. Popular locations of home fountains are in the garden, on the patio, courtyard or even added to the pool. They come in all shapes and sizes, however the most popular fountain design is the multi-level tiered style that is fashioned after Greek and Roman architecture. Reminiscent of the Baroque period, this fountain design is aesthetically alluring and projects an aura of rich elegance as well as sophistication to a home.

The natural beauty of a fountain can be enhanced by decorating it with flowers, stones, glass, and/or statues. To create a statement piece, lights, candles and even fire can be added to transform the serene element into an eye-catching main-attraction that is sure to be the center of attention and draw people in…just like the fountains in Las Vegas.
