Next, start dreaming! To help, we’ve compiled a list of eight of some of the hottest up-and-coming design trends for 2016.
Heated Entryway Floors
Real talk… we live in Indiana. Spring is close, but winter will be back again. Imagine kicking off your snowy boots and walking across a nice toasty entryway floor. Not a bad idea.
Troughs and Spouts
Everything from kitchen sinks to outdoor water features can be found in trough- or spout-form nowadays. Embrace this hot trend anywhere in your home for a look all your own.
Living Rooms Sans Technology
Yes, you read that right. People are transitioning to awesome basement entertaining spaces and are finding that a TV in the living room is just a distraction from much-needed family time.
Oversized Islands
Back in the day, when islands really got popular, they were much smaller. Now, islands can take up the most counter space in the entire kitchen. Think about using your island for extra counter space, additional storage space and bonus seating.
Indoor/Outoor Spaces
Gone are the days of being inside OR outside. Design a space that flows easily from indoors to outdoors. This can be done well with floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls, stackable doors and continuous indoor/outdoor flooring.
Sunrooms
It seems like sunrooms often get left out of floor plans. Think about adding a room with a view in a sunny corner of your home to catch some rays year-round.
Bathroom Living Spaces
Haven’t you always wanted furniture in your bathroom? Think about expanding the space to include a closet, vanity or more. You can turn your bathroom into the place to be in your custom built home.
Delft Tile Work
This tile work from 17th century Holland could not be hotter right now. Because of its long history, it makes for a trendy yet very classic choice for kitchen or bathroom tile work.
