Don't Miss the Color Drenching Trend
Color drenching is when ceilings, walls, doors, stair systems and trim are all painted in the same color - and it's a big trend right now. The goal is to create a monochromatic effect that can influence the way a room feels. The method infuses your space with a sense of tranquility and serenity, thanks to its uncomplicated color palette. Even when opting for a bold color, drenching a room in a single hue makes a striking statement without becoming overwhelming or chaotic. The most common approach to color drenching involves using different sheens for various parts of a space. For instance, walls are typically painted in eggshell sheen, trim in satin sheen and ceilings in flat sheen. This technique enhances the architectural features of the room by encouraging light to play off the variety of dimensions in the space.

Don't Skimp on Secondary Spaces
Just because it's a child's or guest bathroom doesn't mean it can't be as pretty as the rest of your house. Your secondary bathrooms deserve to be layered with beautiful countertops, warm cabinet colors and rich accent tiles, too! Adding a textured tile behind a bathroom vanity is a great way to bring in some fun without it being overwhelming. How about replacing those builder-grade mirrors and lights and adding something like a mirrored frame and eye-catching lighting? Don't forget the finishing elements like candlesticks and vases - or some fresh linens - to bring a boring space back to life.

Smart Fire Safety Upgrades that Make a Difference
With wildfires becoming more frequent and intense - especially in areas like Santa Clarita - home hardening is no longer optional... it's essential. Taking proactive steps now can protect your home, your family and your future. Start by identifying vulnerable areas. Consider replacing wood siding with fire-resistant materials, enclosing open eaves and installing interior sprinkler systems or private exterior hydrants to help suppress fires before they spread. These updates not only enhance safety but may reduce insurance costs as well. One of the most critical upgrades is installing ember-resistant vents, which offer smart solutions designed to keep wind-blown embers from entering your attic or crawl space - often the first points of ignition during a wildfire. If you're unsure where to start, Lenton Company can help. With decades of building expertise and a commitment to safety, they'll guide you through practical, effective upgrades to protect what matters most.
