Some of the top trends in new construction mix modern elements with traditional designs to create fresh updated looks that remain timeless but… with a twist.
Two-toned cabinets: Mixing traditional stained or white cabinets with an unexpected pop of color on the island or hood can spice things up in the kitchen. Keep it subtle with a light grey or be bold with navy. However you choose to approach this trend, it is sure to add character.
Shades of gray: Grey is the new IT color for walls, tiles, cabinets… you name it. Out with beige and white, mixing different shades of grey adds a more modern feel on neutral colored walls.
Brick and Cypress interiors: Brick walls, brick columns and cypress beams are a great way to bring the outside in and to add architectural elements and interest to a home. It breaks up the monotony of sheetrock walls by adding character to a space; no artwork needed, the house does all the work.
Industrial lighting: Simple glass bowls with a single light bulb, lanterns or large rod-iron chandeliers; industrially inspired lighting can add a modern feel to a traditional home. Mixing these elements allows you to be trendy without fully committing your home to a modern style.
Spa-like master bathrooms:
Large master bathroom retreats with soaking tubs and tiled showers create a place of escape for the home owners. Trends show that a large master bath is a must-have.
