Do not fear! If you are already a homeowner, this doesn’t mean you are left out of the loop. Just because these five design trends are used by the professionals in new construction, doesn’t mean you cannot incorporate them into your own home with a build-on addition or remodel.
First on the list is a white-on-white kitchens. Whether you have a
traditional or modern style home, this trend is popular in both. Think
white on white on white. Designers are taking white cabinets, paring
them with white countertops with a white backsplash and finishing it off
with all white trim. Ron Lee Homes incorporates a variety of materials
(stone, ceramic tile, glass, and granite) to incorporate this look in
kitchens and master baths, specifically.
Second is a double-island kitchen. Once again it doesn’t matter what
style home you live in, you are seeing more than one island in a
kitchen. Many times one island is used for cooking and preparing the
food while the other is used for serving and dining. The second island
can serve a dual function as a home work or hobby space. In new homes
built by St. Tammany Parish builder, Ron Lee Homes, you will see many of
our kitchens use a double island and breakfast bar. The island usually
includes a sink as well as a dishwasher or warming oven / drawer. The
breakfast bar is attached to the island and normally flows into the family room – a perfect place for families to gather and socialize.Third design is centered bathtubs and walk in showers. If you visit a spa, this is often what is seen in these well designed relaxing atmospheres. Professionals are now taking the trend into the home. Tubs are becoming a central focal piece and walk in showers are taking the place of a shower stall. Ron Lee Homes uses oversized showers and custom, hand-laid ceramic tile or stone. Our home buyers request specific shower heads and sprays as well as seating areas inside these large shower spaces. Also, glass doors or even “windows” are also popular with our new custom home designs.
Fourth is old world style meets modern contemporary. This is done by taking natural elements mixed with contemporary materials which soften the hard modern design. Wood, steel and glass are popular materials being used in this trend. In new custom homes, cypress beams and unfinished cypress fireplace mantles have been very popular in a few of our newly built custom homes. Also, we enjoy mixing and matching materials on the fireplace surround, fireplace mantle, and built-in bookshelves.
Last is indoor-outdoor living. This trend is starting to be seen no
matter what climate you live in. Home buyers love to see a design that incorporates
the outside view. Indoor-outdoor transitional spaces can be easily
added by using screens and removable/foldable walls. In a few of the
recent new homes built by Ron Lee Homes in St. Tammany Parish, we have
incorporated screened-in porches that are “livable” – complete with a
television, that open to outdoor patios with outdoor cooking areas. We
have even built outdoor kitchens inside of screened in porches upon
request.Ron Lee Homes takes pride in constantly staying on the cutting edge of residential building design and remodeling.
