Have you been scrolling on Pinterest and secretly drooling over images of gorgeous interiors? Who hasn’t? The drool-worthy details that are catching your eye can easily be incorporated into your custom home.
Here is a list of five design trends that will bring instant charm and give your home the wow factor… brought to you by the best custom home builders Indianapolis has to offer (we are biased, but hey… our team members are pretty amazing).
1. Board-and-Batten
Move over shiplap, there’s a new man in town. Well… not really new, but rather an old friend made new again. If you have never heard of board-and-batten siding before, chances are that you have already seen it come across your Pinterest boards. Though more typically chosen for exterior siding, this classic wall paneling imparts texture and depth to any mundane wall when it is used on the interior. This style is created by alternating wide boards and narrow wooden strips called battens. The boards are usually one-foot wide and may be installed horizontally or vertically. This timeless look creates strong vertical lines that will add instant dimension to your space. The boards can be painted any color to match your décor.
2. Gold Hardware
Brushed nickel had its time in the limelight, the best custom home builders in Indianapolis are starting to use gold hardware is the new go-to for faucets, door knobs, and drawer pulls. Not only will it modernize your home, it will also add instant glam and sparkle to your spaces. If you’re hesitant to introduce gold into your home because you are fearful it will look like the outdated brass fixtures that were removed from most homes in the 80’s, do not dismay! The gold hardware that is available today is not brassy, shiny or overpowering like grandma’s used to be, but rather warm and sophisticated. Gold accents bring a touch of elegance to any room and won’t tarnish, rust, or lose its color over time. There’s just something about adding a little luxe gold to make you go weak in the knees.
3. Black Windows
Black is the new black. Custom homes all over the Indianapolis area are popping up with this luxurious look. Instead of choosing overly used white vinyl windows, consider installing black windows to add instant curb-appeal to the exterior of your home. Black is a timeless neutral that is elegant and goes with any décor. Black windows look absolutely stunning against white walls, and the bold contrast will give your space a fresh and industrial feel. Plus, the dark frames will create a focal point that will highlight your beautiful exterior views.
4. Bold Patterned Tiles
Accent tiles can pack a big punch and bring personality to your home. Geometric patterns and hexagon shaped tiles are really trending right now and it’s easy to see why. The best custom home builders Indianapolis has to offer know that a bold tile can make an enormous impression.
Tiles come in all sorts of colors and patterns to match the look and style you love. Oh the places that these beautiful tiles can go!
