When was the last time you updated your home design? If it’s been more than a couple of years you may be a little antsy for change. But big changes take a long time and a large budget. If you’re looking to update your home design but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, go no further than the paint aisle at your local home improvement store.
As the chief organizer of your home and family, you know more than anyone the importance of maintaining a daily routine. And as summer comes to a close and you bid farewell to long weekends at the beach and get back into the swing of the school year it’s even more important to ensure that the whole family is back into a routine. But it’s not just your job to make the routine run smoothly, your luxury custom home can play its own part.
It seems like home design trends morph and change every couple of years, but over time it becomes clear which ones won’t be coming back around anytime soon. Here is a small list of trends that are decidedly out these days.
Depending upon your preference there are dozens of different home styles that you could choose from when building your own custom home. From Victorian mansion to Mid Century Modern ranch the many varied home styles represent the personal style of the homeowners.
It has long been a trend in some cultures for young families to bring their parents and grandparents in to live in their home. This type of lifestyle provides great benefits for everyone involved. Young parents have extra help with their home and children, and the elder generation has the safety of being within close distance to a loved one with the comfort and peace of not having to leave home.
Every couple of years you probably find yourself looking around your home, imagining the next upgrade that will bring it up to date. Especially if you’ve lived in your home for a long time and have collected decades worth of tchotchkes, art your kids made 15 years ago, and gifted throw pillows that don’t match your current furniture. But how do you even get started?
The Minimalists are a pair of young guys who have made it their mission to spread the good news of minimalism. It’s a lifestyle that encourages people to live with less as a way to find the freedom to live the life you love. It’s a movement that has gained in popularity and while it isn't for everyone, there are some advantages to trying it.
You’ve seen it in photos and television shows featuring the homes of the rich and famous, and we think enhancing this room in your home is the height of luxury. No, we’re not talking about an elegant formal dining room or a bowling alley. We’re talking about turning your master closet into a luxurious dressing room.
These days, homeowners are finally giving proper respect to a room that has for generations gone unadorned. A series of tasks that were often relegated to a dark corner in the garage. That’s right, the laundry room. For as long as we can remember, laundry rooms have been an afterthought in luxury homes, but sometime in the last decade or so homeowners have begun to take this important room more seriously.
Now that you’ve designed the luxury custom home you and your family have always dreamed of, it’s time to start thinking seriously about fixtures. And there is no more important fixture to prioritize than the lighting that goes throughout your house. The light fixtures in your home are not only beautiful pieces, but they, more than any other thing in your home, create the ambiance that is the backdrop to your family life.
