Trendy 2016

A new year means new styles and trends of home design and layout! We rounded up a few of our favorite ideas for the new year, and are busily daydreaming of our dream homes.



1. A Warm Welcome

A popular 2016 trend is heating your entrance way floors! We love how this picture above utilizes the farmhouse style entrance way, which is also a 2016 trend that we're looking forward to! Imagine coming in from the chilly weather to an organized front hall (and warm feet!).





2. A Lack of Screens

An emerging trend for your living space comes as a bit of a surprise! A living area that does not feature a screen or form of technology is projected to be very popular this year. We love the idea of disconnecting, and featuring the living room as a warm place to gather for good friends and good conversations!






3. A Workhorse Island with Room

A common complaint from homeowners is the lack of space in the kitchen. We love this island - with a sink! This allows for more storage, and even the possibility to install an additional appliance! We can't stop picturing the ease of  Thanksgiving clean up with more than one sink! Visit our Dream Kitchens Pinterest page for more inspirations!

Light Up Your Kitchen

You can have the most beautiful kitchen in the world, but if it's poorly lit, you'd never know - what a shame! Avoid this common problem by installing appropriate lighting in your kitchen and dining area. There are two questions to ask yourself when you're adding lighting in to your kitchen: what kind of lighting will I choose, and where will I decide the lighting should be? Get some inspiration for your lights, below. Image via www.bestofdiyideas.com Image via www.homebunch.com Image via www.doctorkish.com Image via www.wayfair.com

Things are looking up!

When it comes to different types of ceilings, there is a lot to choose from. If you're like most people, you think of the standard drop ceiling that we're used to seeing in many homes is the only option. That kind of thinking couldn't be further from the truth! If you're considering switching things up with your new home, check out this post to brainstorm some ideas for a new ceiling.
