Now Trending
Open Concept Floor Plans
The allure of open-concept floor plans in Seattle custom homes continues its reign. This design trend is all about removing barriers between living spaces to create a seamless flow to encourage interaction and natural light. While privacy is a necessity for all, an open-concept plan can be best suited for kitchens, living rooms, or dining areas where entertaining may be a priority.
Soft and Warm Color Palettes
As we’ll later learn, stark white and cold grey interiors are of the past. Today is all about soft, warm, earthy color palettes. These color choices add a touch of coziness and tranquility to custom homes in Seattle, especially for homeowners looking to add a bit of nature themes into their design. These hues create inviting and relaxing environments, making the home a true haven after a long, grueling day of work.
Recreation and Entertainment Spaces
As the lines between work and leisure blur, recreation and entertainment spaces have become focal points in custom homes. Homeowners are dedicating areas of their homes to home theaters, game rooms, or gyms. These spaces can be tailored to personal interests to create an enjoyable and convenient outlet for comfort and enjoyment.
Past Trends
White and Grey Color Palettes
While white and grey interiors once represented minimalism and modernity, they’re now giving way to warmer and more inviting color schemes. The once-popular palettes lack the unique characteristics and individuality that people crave in their custom homes.
Tiled Countertops
Though tiled countertops have been a staple of kitchen design for years, they’ve been gradually replaced by more practical options. For instance, quartz and natural stone countertops. Unlike tiles, stone offers stronger durability and easy maintenance—never mind the enhanced visual appeal—which aligns with the practicality and ease homeowners seek today.
