Open Space Design Trend in 2012
What did 2012 say about homeowners? We love our open space indoors. We want our outdoor space to come on in. And whatever we have, we need to use wisely. The December 2012 Builder online noted that home design trends displayed gorgeous and innovative ways to do it all. Your local builder, Innovation Construction Co. Design & Build, has the craftsmanship, experience, and design expertise to make it happen.
OPEN-PLAN LAYOUTS
the most frequently requested interior setup, have evolved with cleaner lines and more organized areas, using such design strategies as
- varied-height ceilings
- delineated living/dining/cooking zones that blend but don’t blur
- larger, multi-purpose kitchen islands for prep, dining, display, and storage.
FEEL OF SPACIOUSNESS
can be achieved through
- clean, uncluttered lines
- expansive window areas
- streamlined aesthetic (as shown in the recent Mid Century Modern revival).
EXPOSING THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE
can increase livable square footage – or provide the illusion of greater space, using
- sliding window walls to make an inside-outside room
- bigger windows (that can give a more spacious feel to reduced square footage).
BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN
can increase outdoor living all or part of the year with the improved 3-season room including
- more deluxe furnishings, beyond “patio” chairs
- outdoor cooking equipment – not just a grill, how about an outdoor oven?
- fire pits and outdoor fireplaces.
Look for our next post for details about further design trends of 2012!
