New Home Constructions Latest Trends

Many buyers choose to purchase a new construction home so that they can customize it to meet all their needs. If you are considering purchasing a new construction home or are already in the process here is what the latest trends are in new home construction.

Natural Is In

The natural look is gaining ground in new construction homes replacing ultra-dark flooring with a lighter natural finish.  Designers report that even white and gray washed wood floor finishes are making a comeback.  These create quite the exotic look and you will find that engineered products might not be a cheaper alternative. Don’t be surprised if you see more stone flooring as well in places that you haven’t seen customarily in the past, such as maybe a master bedroom and bathroom. Don’t be scared to try something new if it’s what you prefer.

Open Space And Clean Lines

Contemporary homes are gaining in popularity right now in new construction homes.  You can expect to see more open spaces and clean lines in model homes.  Traditional exteriors and modern interiors with open usable space are growing in popularity across the country.  The goal with these floorplans is to make all space within the home completely usable and to serve a function.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is making a fast comeback.  Not ready to fully embrace the wallpaper trend? Start by adding wallpaper to the bathrooms in your new construction home.  If it doesn’t turn out the way you like, it’s not the end of the world. It’s typically a small space and not overly expensive to fix.

Kitchen’s Sell

When it comes to selling a home, kitchens and baths are known to sell a home.  A lot of life happens in the kitchen and for many, it is the heart of the home.   It seems to be that we expect to find stainless steel appliances and granite countertops in newer kitchens these days, but times are changing.  Engineered stones such as quartz are emerging and gaining in popularity.  Cabinetry is trending towards more natural colored woods.

Go Smart

Technology has become a major part of our lives, and it only makes since that are homes are as up to date as far as technology is concerned.  Homes with smart features are the trend right now in new construction.

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

The most important thing to do when customizing your new construction home is to have fun and build it to suit your needs. Take a risk, move out of your comfort zone and go with what you like and not what you think others will like or even what others in the neighborhood are doing.
