Design Trend: The Wood Statement Ceiling

August 7, 2019

One big trend for 2019 has been a statement ceiling. The ceiling is an often neglected space with clients assuming they need to go with a flat white ceiling paint. And while there is nothing wrong with a a basic white, (its the look we go with in most of our designs), the ceiling can work as an important design element in a space. Today we are looking at Wood Statement Ceilings. It’a a look we shared last month in our Summit Creek Project Master Bathroom. It helped us create the modern organic look we were after in the space. Take a look at how wood ceilings can work with many different aesthetics and spaces to create a warm welcoming vibe.

Bathroom Trend: The Curbless Shower

July 24, 2019

Lisa Lev Design

One bathroom trend that we are loving is the look of a curbless shower. Most bathrooms have a ledge of several inches that sets the shower area a part from the rest of the bathroom and ensures that water stays within the shower pan. With careful design and construction, you can get rid of the curb. It creates a seamless floor that leaves your bathroom feeling bigger, more modern, and very pretty. Take a look how we have used this beautiful clean look in some of our recent designs.

Design Trend: Wide Plank Oak Floors

July 18, 2019

Becki Owens Vidriosa Project

We have long been a fan of wide plank oak floors. In our Flooring Trend Reports in 2018 and 2019, we shared that hardwood floors were swinging back toward darker and skinnier. We’ve seen beautiful new spaces that use these looks, but even so, it seems neither our clients nor followers can get enough of wide plank oak. We don’t blame them. The look is light and airy with fewer lines breaking up the space. Take a look at some of the spaces we’ve shared this year to see why it’s a look to keep on loving.

Design Trend 2019: White Kitchen Appliances

June 27, 2019

Becki Owens Double Eagle Project

For years now, stainless steel appliances have been standard in new and updated kitchens. In the last year however, a new appliance color is taking hold. White kitchen appliances are a fresh update and a look we are loving. We went white in our Double Eagle Project and love the way it allowed us to stick with a white, wood, and brass color palette. The new white is not the cheap, white plastic wrapped fridge from your college apartment, but instead metal finished in beautiful shades of white and modern matte finishes. Take a peek at how this trend is complementing this years kitchen designs. Is it a look you love?

Terra Cotta Tile

Earthy colors are trending. Warm terracottas, sage greens, and all shades of brown. One beautiful organic way to embrace the trend is with terra cotta tile. Warm, welcoming, and natural it creates Old World authenticity in new spaces. So pretty here paired with this sage green free-standing tub.
