Design Trends for Charlotte Homes
Trends for national and Charlotte homes come and go depending upon many factors, including the needs and desires of buyers, changes in technology as well as economic trends. Here are some current design trends for national and Charlotte homes:
Kitchens are the heart of the home
People still love kitchens that are open and airy. Popular kitchen countertops will soon embrace the green movement, moving away from granite towards crushed recyclable glass under a solid, smooth surface.
Energy efficiency
According to The Joint Center for Housing Studies, homeowners and builders alike continue to make homes more energy efficient. This is led by regional certification programs as well as a focus on national green building standards.
Vintage is IN
Reproductions from the 1920‘s, 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s are a hot design trend in home furnishings. From light fixtures to furniture, this design trend is HOT in Charlotte homes!
Bold Lighting
In addition to functional lighting, bathrooms are boasting chandeliers. Ooh, la la!
Ceilings: a Focal Point
Ceilings no longer fade into the background with the addition of architectural enhancements such as domes and bold and faux paint options including metallic colors and plaster designs.
