Material Selection for Renovations
Material selection during renovation carries considerations beyond those in new construction. New materials must relate convincingly to existing surfaces — whether through matching, complementary contrast, or the kind of material dialogue that acknowledges the home's history while introducing contemporary quality. A new hardwood floor must coexist with original flooring that may remain in adjacent rooms. New tile must feel appropriate to a home built in a specific era. And the overall material palette must create coherence between renovated and original spaces without making the renovation feel like an artificial overlay.
