From bold to simple, we are counting down some of the latest trends in home construction for 2019 and beyond!
New Home Construction Trends in Florida
Energy Savings
Saving energy is at the top of everybody’s list these days. From energy efficient appliances to green materials, there are a lot of different ways you can help reduce your strain on the planet while building a new home. Plus, there are often government-backed incentives to go green and taking advantage of them can help you save money on your energy bill every month thereafter. Greener features can also help boost the value of your home when you go to resell it.
There’s the option for Low-E windows, low flow toilets, solar power, and so much more.
Open Concept Floor Plans
Open concept floor plans have been on trend for many years, and the trend continues to thrive and grow. Kitchens that open up into living spaces and play rooms that open up into bedrooms – there are many ways to make your home more family-friendly by removing some unnecessary walls. No need to worry, there are still plenty of ways to create small and intimate spaces as well.
Copper Gutters
It sounds rather fancy, and it is, but this luxurious trend might be worth the extra cash if you want to upgrade the look of an often-overlooked aspect of your home. Not to mention, copper gutters are more durable while adding unmatched style.
Smaller Square Footage
Bigger has been better for a long time in America, but more and more home owners are seeking out a smaller footprint. Maybe it’s the popularity of the tiny home, or the desire to move towards more simplicity, either way, people are finding creative ways to get everything they want in a smaller space.
Bringing the Outdoors In
Indoor spaces that roll right into outdoor spaces is one of the biggest it-trends in home design. Picture large glass doors that expand the entire length of the kitchen and family room and open up all the way to allow for indoor/outdoor living. Even when closed, large floor-to-ceiling windows make you feel like you are outside. Large covered patios outfitted with televisions and cozy couches are another common way people are creating indoor/outdoor spaces.
Smart Homes
Nest Thermostats, smart fridges, and voice automated lights, these are just some of the many ways that homes are getting smarter. Tech-lovers are excited to find a whirlwind of ways they can outfit their home with better technology than ever before. Some of which will simply help improve convenience, while others can help keep your family safer.
Wainscoting
Details are everything when building or renovating a home. Wainscoting is a go-to way to add more style and class to dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and beyond. We’ve even installed it in laundry rooms, and it’s nothing short of fabulous. Wainscoting is a modern element that is showing up in homes across the nation – and we can’t get enough of it!
Textured Walls
Along with wainscoting, walls are getting more textured elements. From reclaimed wood walls to brick walls and even velvet walls, we’ve seen it all.
Storage Galore
Storage is essential, and the latest walk-in pantries and custom closets make it easier than ever to organize your stuff and find what you need when you need it.
