As you look to renovate this year, create your dream home, or build an addition, consider these trending architectural features that include a focus on aesthetics, functionality and convenience.
A Signature Entry
Never underestimate the power of a stunning front entryway. This is the first impression your guests receive as they enter your home. Therefore, design it in a welcoming way that reflects your personality.
Your beautiful foyer should exude the atmosphere you want to foster in your home.
Trending Architectural Features: Flex Rooms
Flex rooms are a good idea for many reasons. A flex room can be the ideal place for relatives visiting, an extended stay for friends, or a traditional home office.
Alternative Storage Solutions
In lieu of traditional cabinetry, some homeowners are choosing open shelving and floating cabinets, both as a functional storage solution and as a design element.
When renovating, homeowners are opting for maximizing their space; like incorporating mudrooms, or utilizing the area under the staircase for a wine room or day desk. We can help ensure these areas blend seamlessly into your home for a harmonious feel and look.
Trending Architectural Features: Colorful Kitchens
No matter your aesthetic, color is a welcome element in the kitchen. Many homeowners are finding ways to punch up their new or remodeled kitchen with cool blues, dark woods, and new, colored textures. Typically, pops of color show up on the island and lower cabinets, followed by accessories.
Think outside of the “white” box when it comes to your kitchen. How about a fun, colorful backsplash with a focus on a framed mosaic piece? Maybe a rustic look using rich wood tones, contrasting with a crisp, otherwise white kitchen? Have some fun and make it your own.
Exercise Rooms
Today’s full-fledged exercise rooms include entertainment centers to energize those longer workouts. Combined with steam showers, rest areas, and saunas, you have the ideal gym inside your home.
Therapy Room
Calm spaces provide balance. When renovating, how about creating a room for your personal wellness interests? If you’re a music enthusiast, you might create a sound-proof refuge to play your guitar, or simply escape with your favorite playlist of tunes.
Some may enjoy a dedicated place for spiritual mindfulness, therapeutic meditation or even yoga. For those who love to entertain, how about a home theater room? Based on your interests, you can create a unique private oasis within your own home.
Trending Architectural Features: Smart Appliances
With Amazon Alexa and Siri now staples in our lives, most people are familiar with AI functionality. Artificial intelligence continues to make our lives easier by understanding commands better and responding more appropriately.
For example, smart technology allows residents to play music throughout the home, manage the thermostat, control the refrigerator, operate their pool features, turn lights off and on, and allow owners to check on their homes with an integrated security system.
