DESIGN TRENDS AND TIPS
2007
-
Bold Color
Homeowners are becoming more comfortable with the bold look. Color
combinations using rich, bold colors and glossier finishes to add a
multi-layered look makes a grand statement, especially for outdoor
shutters, walls, trim and fabrics.
-
Glass Tile Going glass is the hottest alternative to ceramic tile! And
surprisingly there’s not much difference in cost! The tiles add
depth and luminosity and can be installed everywhere – except floors
-- even in outdoor pools and fountains.
-
Engineered
Stone Countertops Made from 94% quartz and 6%
pigments and resin, this new countertop trend is heat/cold
resistant, mildew free, stain resistant and won’t scratch. It comes
in many colors and varies in cost.
-
Specialty
Rooms are still a unique trend for homes today.
These rooms could be turning and oversized, extra bedroom closet
into craft closets. Then there’s the second laundry room, right in
the master suite. How about a luggage room to have all your bags in
one handy place for those frequent travelers?

Wallpaper
Yes, homeowners, wallpaper is back! This time it’s in
the rich, hand-painted torn wallpaper variety. Truly a work of art,
adding interest of texture in random pattern, in any color.
