Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Modern Home Builders. This month we discuss paints, vendor relationships and accessible living. Our author from Dunn-Edwards discusses what
color trends clients could be looking at – is the trend for gray everything finally over? I personally hope so – but find out more on page 16. Our Q & A with Stephen Wiles and Nathan Willard delves into vendor relationships, highlighting challenges and advising on building stronger networks. Finally, the cofounders of design firm Minarc talk barrier-free living and designing for how people will live over time – not just for today.
I always try to deliver something interesting for you to consider but if you have a topic that you want to highlight – just let me know!
