Homefill Dezign can design for you a home that is trending this year. Below are some of the 2016 trends.
1. Country Chic: Country home plans continue to be popular in 2016, with people trying to capture the quaint feeling of country life, even in urban environments. Watch the new designs for the classic country roofline, attractive dormers and, of course, front porches to capture the country chic design.
2. Big Kitchens: Some of the most popular house plans for 2016 are those that feature big kitchens. The larger the kitchen, the better it can accommodate the latest appliances and other gadgets — as well as the demands of busy families and inspirational cooks.
3. Continued Focus on Great Rooms: Many modern homes no longer have “living rooms”. Instead, today’s ideal home layout is built around the “great room”, which puts the kitchen, family room and sometimes even a dining area into one large, open space.
4. Increased Luxury of Master Baths: The master bath is taking on a spa-like appearance in 2016. Look for soaking tubs, walk-in showers, his-and-her sinks and plenty of closet space in the master bath in the year’s hottest designs
5. Textured Surfaces: Texture, inside and outside the home, gives the designs of 2016 an organic feel. Mixing stone and siding on the exterior gives a textured look. And inside, instead of smooth surfaces on counter-tops and cabinets, look for natural stone and textured woods to make a statement in the year’s popular house plans
6. Indoor/Outdoor Living: Outdoor living spaces that merge seamlessly with the indoor living space will likely be widely sought after in 2016.
7. Small Homes: Downsizing is a growing trend in 2016, as people are looking to purchase smaller homes without sacrificing quality of life.
8. Natural Light: Floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights that let in natural light are going to be part of the favorite home designs for 2016. Even on narrow and small floor plans, buyers want plenty of natural lighting.
9. Open Designs with Flow: This year, the more open the design the better. This builds on the great room concept, but can also be seen in tall ceilings, lofts and grand foyers in entryways.
10. Plans for Narrow Lots: Finally, narrow lots are becoming increasingly popular as people are moving back to cities, which continue to push their boundaries outward, putting land at a premium.
