With each year, new trends arise. You have to keep your eyes peeled and ready for the ever-changing world of interior design. The industry of home building has its own way of keeping ahead of the trends.
Since staying up-to-date is one goal of new home construction companies everywhere, here are some things that you can expect to see in 2017.
Mixed Metals
Gold has really been making a comeback during these last few years and 2017 is no exception. You can see it in headboards that have a brushed matte gold finish or sink components. With a transitional look that can complement multiple styles, mixed metals can look good against almost any color.
Matte finishes
Surface finishes are getting much warmer. Wood flooring and counters, as well as plaster walls, are great ways to add a cozy feel. Another option is to use bronze versions of your usual silver metal light fixtures, which could warm up the light.
Marble
Naturally beautiful, marble is a timeless and sophisticated material to use on countertops or in select parts of your floors. Quartz surface manufacturers are actually quite skilled in achieving the look of marble or natural stone without added maintenance. So you can have marble-type surfaces and not spend an insane amount of money as well.
Earth Tones
When deciding the details of your home, it seems like natural colors are a huge hit. Terracotta is making a comeback and becoming popular, so roof tiles or floor tiles are an option for your home. When choosing tiles, try a ceramic one that resembles wood. Mosaic tiles are a great earthy and creative way to add an artistic touch to your home’s design.
Black and White
If earth or natural tones aren’t for you, try the classic simplicity of black, white, and gray. This adds a clean and crisp look while leaving other design avenues open. A black and white backdrop can also set the stage for an eclectic mix of metallic accessories.
Secondary Spaces
For many people, kitchens and bathrooms are a primary focal point when building a new home. It seems that lately many homeowners want their laundry rooms, bedrooms, office rooms, and other secondary spaces to look equally as amazing. By utilizing better storage, proper functionality, natural light and attention to detail, each space becomes more unique.
Smart Features
It’s the age of technology. Smart features are now being integrated into newly built homes. These days, homeowners want a home that they can operate remotely from their cell phones or speak commands to without lifting a finger.
Endless amounts of smart features are available to incorporate into your home. To find out more, talk to a low voltage specialist about your wants and needs. Do you want all of the lights in your house to go off when you leave for work? No problem. While you’re at work, do you worry about when your kids get home from school? You can get a text message the instant they walk through the door.
There are many features of 2017 that improve the design of your home. Home builders everywhere are constantly keeping tabs on trends and learning of where they will go next. Do you have some of these designs in your home?
