We build custom homes with our clients, paying close attention to their needs and wants. Trends are something that come and go but the following trends are ones that we think are timeless and can enhance your home for a lifetime.
Minimalism
TV shows and books by people like Marie Kondo are having an impact on home design. More homeowners are embracing a minimalistic, uncluttered look. This often includes naturalistic design, often influenced by Scandinavian design trends.
Creative Kitchens
Kitchens have always been central to home decor and recent trends show that people are embracing more variety and creativity in the kitchen, which includes:
- A variety of colors and materials. For example, you can mix and match different colors and materials of flooring, walls, cabinets, and appliances.
- Smart technology. Smart appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, blenders, coffee makers, and more make it possible to change settings and start operations remotely from a smartphone.
- Placing or installing appliances on kitchen islands. Kitchen islands with built-in appliances are convenient and stylish.
Better Equipped and More Comfortable Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor spaces such as porches and yards used to be mainly for sitting on outdoor furniture and maybe having a barbecue. Now, with smart appliances, they are more like an extension of the home with TVs, stereos, fireplaces, spas, privacy and more allowing you to enjoy the outdoors even more.
Personalized Spaces
People want their own space to pursue their home businesses, hobbies, or just to relax. Unique home offices, man caves, kids’ rooms, and other specialty rooms can cater to individuals’ needs and interests.
Smart Lighting and Temperature Control
People are choosing smart solutions not only for kitchen appliances but for their entire homes. In particular, smart lighting and temperature control are major trends that are likely to continue. Being able to manage the lighting, heat, and air conditioning remotely has value for comfort as well as security. For example, homeowners can arrange to have their home lit while they are away.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing, which was popular in the past, is coming back for a number of reasons. It gives you many design options, it’s eco-friendly and provides strong structural protection for the house. A metal roof may be constructed from aluminum, copper, or alloy strips. A metal roof may cost a little more upfront, but will often last longer than alternatives.
Innovative Wallpaper
Wallpaper was popular decades ago, declined, and is now making a comeback. However, people are opting for more stylish and creative designs in wallpaper that allow them to express their individuality. Popular choices include geometric designs, tropical and floral patterns, and landscapes that resemble murals.
