Home Design Trends

Trends in home designs cycle and change. However, if you find an interior decor design that you like, you may choose to use the décor, whether it is currently a trend or not. You may embrace the colors of rose gold. You may want subway tiles in your kitchen and bath areas in addition to exposed lighting. These items were top sellers in 2018. Every year brings with it new designs that we can work into your new home. As you do your research, you may like home designs that were trending in the 1800s. It’s not dictated that you have to use a current year to design your new home, since trends will change year after year, and even tend to circle back with time. Since more people are recycling, going green, and fast becoming environmentally friendly, you may appreciate the natural colors adorning your home. You may want more windows without coverings to let more of the natural light from outside to filter through your home. You may appreciate a more organic touch to your home. This natural look embodies peace and tranquility in your space. The design trend you pick should be a design that you can live with for several years before you find a need to change your decor, as this can be an expensive endeavor.

Incorporate Your Style

Your choices for home furnishings are wide and varied. Designers give homeowners endless examples for various styles of decor in the home. Artisan-style fixtures are popular every year. Some clients appreciate a handcrafted light source. There is enjoyment in seeing a work of art hanging from a ceiling or sitting on a table, knowing that the artist handcrafted your light to pass the trend test year after year. Choosing an artisan style of lighting is never going to be the same because the artist never creates the same design twice. Every light is different and unique and establishes a focus on a more natural look in your home rather than a high-tech look. Place the focus on individual style in the home, considering that 2019 trends are becoming more natural. This style will be a favorite year after year for any homeowner. A more natural form of style demands a slowness in life at home, peace and absolute tranquility. Natural decor means you choose organic elements in your home, such as natural materials like stone and granite.
The 1800s and 1900s were part of the Victorian era, in which homeowners utilized a lot of bright floral prints and velvet. In our more modern times, society saw velvet as dull, boring, and old-fashioned. Now, the Victorian era in home designs seems to be making a comeback, especially in 2019, where decor take on bolder colors not otherwise expected in a home. Bright oranges and reds are trending for 2019.

Home Design Dreams Come True

It is essential to review all of your deepest desires for your newly built home. You must be able to communicate to the builder your list of choices for your living space. As your contractor, we can work in some of your home designs to add your individuality into your home. With such an abundance of design ideas, this may seem like a daunting challenge. When you find what you like, your ideal design strikes you hard, and you know that this is undoubtedly your style and preference. A few examples of home design trends take the form of modern, in which the colors are dull, with the presence of metal, lots of glass and a steel interior representing a sleek appearance, aesthetic and clean without a lot of extra clutter. Contemporary styles are not too much unlike the modern-style home. These homes do not represent so much of one particular style but a combination of styles. The Industrial design represents an unfinished element. For example, the builder may leave exposed brick and exposed ductwork and pipes running across ceilings. Doors may follow the barn door look hanging from entryways on heavy iron sliders. A look of this sort follows that of an old warehouse. Bright-colored metal light fixtures may hang on long cords from the ceilings. Your job is to research and know a bit about each style, and then communicate your preferences to your home builder.
