When it comes to current interior trends what are you seeing taking place in the market at the moment ?
As far as interior trends go , the aesthetic is leaning away from modern farmhouse , and more into modern contemporary , modern traditional , or mid-century modern . The whites , blacks and grays are slowly being exchanged with white oak colors and earth tones . In addition , there is also a trend toward interior arches , and reeded wall accents , which involves slat wood panels with thin negative reveals .
What are these trends inspired by ?
Mainly , by interior home designers . The inspiration stems from what people appreciate at this moment in time , as well as what is perceived as having timeless attributes . It ’ s worth carefully considering not only what the trends are , but what materials and aesthetics will look good in ten to 20 years when the trends inevitably change .
From your perspective , what sort of exterior designs are becoming more popular as well ? Why do you think this is ?
It depends on the price point of the home , but for some of the higher-end homes , we are seeing a very thin fascia on the front of homes and a buttoned-up curb appeal to go with the clean look of the smooth stucco . This along with standing seam metal roofs are making the modern home extremely clean and timeless at the same time . The lines are less busy and less pronounced in certain areas , drawing attention to where the architect intended .
What is one aspect of the custom home build process you feel makes all the difference to the overall product ?
The one aspect that has the biggest impact is architecture . Many trades such as structural , civil , or other engineering and constructionrelated trades depend on calculations and inspections . Architecture is what really sets a home apart . The flow , maximization of space , feel , and livability all stem from the efforts put forth from the builder and the architect .
