TIPS OF THE TRADE
From flooring and fixtures to colors and decor, local home industry experts
reveal some of their top tips and tricks for sprucing up your space.
1. LIGHT YOUR WAY
“Choose new kitchen cabinets and drawers
with LED lighting inside — it’s a game
changer!”— Todd Morgan, Kitchen Division
Sales Manager at Riverhead Building Supply,

2. WEATHER THE STORM
“Think about adding a new
storm door to your home to
protect your front door from
the New England elements.”
— Todd Morgan, Kitchen
Division Sales Manager at
Riverhead Building Supply,

3. Mix it Up.
For a contemporary feel, embrace mixed
metals in the kitchen and bathroom. No
need to match!
4. Bring in a Pop of Color.
Keep large anchor pieces like your couch,
coffee table or other furniture neutral-toned
and add color to any space with pillows,
throw blankets, dishware and more. If you
are in the market for art, commission a
custom piece from a local artist that pops!
5. CONSIDER YOUR SURROUNDINGS
“A new garage door can yield up to a 95 percent ROI, so whether you are staying
or selling, a new garage door is a wise investment. When it comes to selecting
the type of door, consider your environment. A steel door may rust near the ocean,
whereas a vinyl door made from Versatex will last for as long as you own your
home.” — Diane Fagan, Vice-President of Fagan Door Corp., fagandoor.com
