Top 10 Design Trends

This list was provided by 2009 National Dream Home Designers Robert Sennett & Darren Sanger-Smith

  1. Metal Roofs – They are environmentally friendly, clean & gives your old roof a new/different look, whether as an accent or whole roof.
  2. Dark Trim Colours – Gives a punch to the facade of our home.  It allows the house to blend with the landscaping, picture frames opnenings & highlights glazing shapes as proportional architectural features.
  3. Front Porches – Adds connectivity to the home & offers a sense of community when used as an outdoors space for gatherings & parties.
  4. Indoor/Outdoor Landscaping – Incorporates organic details that reflect the architecture.
  5. Brick – Gives real depth to the character of the home.
  6. Stucco as an Accent
  7. Green Design – Everyone is talking green these days.  Whether your contribution is minor updates or a complete reno, be aware and consider options to green your home.
  8. Ceilings – It’s just as important as the floor and the right ceiling can create a sense of volume change and an emotional within any given space that would otherwise be lost.
  9. Water Features – An interior water feature can add to the space as a beautiful piece of artwork with a calming sound that can enhance any space.
  10. Sound/Music/Media – The sky’s the limit with this one.  Think carefully about what you need/want.  Combining technology with a well thought out wall unit or room layout can only enhance the space.
