Homeowners Don and Nancy are the proud owners of a 1959 vintage Mid-Century Modern home. After updating their home with new flooring, they realized the need to replace their plastic vent covers purchased a decade ago from a local big box store.

They decided they must expand their design refresh and purchase new floor registers, ASAP. They started their research for the right vent covers for the upgrade and found kul grilles!  When they saw our grilles, they knew that our clean-lined design was a perfect match for their Mid-Century aesthetic and would look beautiful in their home!

kul anodized light bronze floor grilles: anodized light bronze is a warm, bronze metallic finish.

Wanting to pay homage to the original finishes in the home, they chose to use our anodized light bronze floor and return air grilles. The simple introduction of the new kul grilles instantly gave their home the design boost they'd hoped for. Finishing off the new flooring with new modern vent covers achieved a flawless new look.

We love a good design success story, especially one featuring kul grilles. We thank Don and Nancy for sharing photos and allowing us to share their story.

Arts & Architecture magazine introduced the Modern Case Study House Program in 1945 that ran intermittently until 1966. The idea was to partner with prominent Architects such as Richard Neutra, Charles Eames, Pierre Koening, and Eero Saarinen, among others to design 36 experimental prototype home plans. These homes were designed to meet specific directives. They were to be constructed using American manufactured materials, efficiently built and easily replicated to formulate price-accessible, post-war residential neighborhoods of the future. The project started in California but the architecture trend subsequently stretched across America.

Linear rooflines, vaulted beamed ceilings, and expanses of glass became signatures of the Mid-Century Modern design movement. Suburban neighborhoods with larger lot sizes accommodated more expansive floor plans. Allowing homes to have an open flow and minimalist feel.

Our customer, Marie recently completed a full remodel of her 1958 Mid Century Modern home in Illinois. She searched her entire city for new floor registers but couldn't find exactly what she was looking for. All it took was an internet search for "Modern Floor Registers" and she found us at kulgrilles.com!

Marie chose kul grilles anodized clear finish vent covers. Wow! They look outstanding in the space!

The Coastal Modern House is an example of how style and functionality are in the details. Its design infuses crisp modern lines, rich textures and sleek lighting and plumbing fixtures to convey a vibrant yet languid Cali-style. The open plan and floor-to-ceiling windows let the eye flow uninterrupted throughout the space, creating an airy and relaxing feeling. It connects the outdoor environment to the indoor environment.

Integral to the design is the use of kul grilles vent covers, in Glacier Frost finish, throughout the home. The sleek, low-profile air vent covers blend into the walls and modern architecture seamlessly. The unique hand-brushed aluminum finish and linear bar design compliment the linear design lines running through every room—from the kitchen island and lighting fixtures to the staircase and balcony railings.

The Bonanza Project fuses architectural beauty with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape for a large family home made for fun yet functional living. The high vaulted ceilings and expansive windows create flexible living spaces for the whole family. And its mahogany floors recall the characteristics of a traditional American ranch-style home but with all the flair of a modern, sleek design built for active lifestyles.

We make the world's most beautiful vent covers for the most beautiful floors, so there is no mistake that kul grilles are an integral part of the Bonanza Project design. Josh and his team selected both standard-sized and custom-sized vent covers in our rich dark Wenge Brown and clean white Glacier Frost. These finishes compliment the rich tones of the mahogany wood flooring and merge with the clean white walls. This design technique allows the eye to flow uninterrupted, invoking a grande space big enough for the kids to play or a work-from-home office yet inviting enough for family dinners and gatherings.

You might think that floor or wall vent covers are minor details that go unnoticed but investing in well-designed vent covers actually increases the efficiency of the HVAC system airflow and the home's value—both aesthetically and financially.
