Parade of Homes Top Design Features BYHYU 184
It\u2019s one thing to see small samples of countertops, tile, paint, and flooring in a showroom or retail space, but to see those\xa0design features displayed in new houses is so much more helpful. Not even full-sized samples such as doors, plumbing fixtures, and lighting fixtures have the same impact in a showroom or a photo as they do up close and personal in real-life applications.\xa0 That\u2019s why I take as many opportunities as I can to go to new homes around the country.\xa0 I want to stay on the pulse of what's new and trending and what design features seem to be here to stay for the foreseeable future\u2014 the ones that emerged several years ago, but don\u2019t seem to be going anywhere, like linear fireplaces.\xa0 \xa0
I recently went to 2 parades of homes\u2014 in Kansas City and one in the Memphis TN area.\xa0 I visited about 30 different brand new homes\u2014 about 6 in Memphis and the rest in Kansas City. Many of the features that\xa0I saw, we\u2019ve talked about on other design trend episodes, but I think it\u2019s important to keep revisiting the topic of home design so we don\u2019t build and decorate a brand new house in a way that looks dated soon after we move in.\xa0 Here are some of the top design elements that I saw in those parades of homes\u2026
