Luxury Home Magazine

Y our home should say something about you. Whether it’s with the paint color on the walls, collected trinkets on the bookshelf, or a specialty kitchen, your abode should be customized. Thankfully, you can make your house a home with a remodel, a renovation, or building a structure from scratch. Not that long ago, new homes, developments, and commercial projects were being produced left and right. Today it might not be as commonplace to see an excess of building, but the desire for custom and brand-new spaces is still creating a demand. And builders, architects, and designers are answering the call. Although any island home is paradise, some have seen better days. Invest in a fixer-upper that has classic architectural details, but could use some TLC. Sometimes all it takes is a coat of paint and new cabinetry, while other updates require a complete gut, building permits, and new systems. If the idea of a renovation adventure excites you, and you’re prepared for the time and potential for unexpected expenses, dive in. The rewards are worth the hassle. If you’d rather have things perfect from the start, build your luxury home from the ground up. When you employ architects, builders, and designers you can ensure that you will receive exactly the home you’ve dreamed of—from the height of the counters to custom pocket doors. Before hiring a builder, inquire about their past projects and consider their certifications. With so many new innovations in style, materials, and sustainability, it’s no wonder that renovations, remodels, and new construction are all keeping the industry alive. It’s time to transform your home—island style. Send editorial & advertising inquiries to Maresa.Giovannini@lhmhi.com or call 808.782.0067 Say Aloha!
