2020 Home Design Trends: Pros & Cons When Building a Custom Home

Accent walls can serve a variety of purposes. Whether it be calling attention to a piece of furniture or artwork or simply adding some visual interest to the room, an accent wall can serve as a playful focal point. While painted accent walls can be relatively simple to change and remove, adding wood paneling can be a more permanent decision. If you’re feeling unsure of your decision to add an accent wall, consider hanging a large painting or mural to test out how adding some interest to the space feels.

Hardwood floors have become an increasingly popular choice for many homeowners. It can add an element of texture and dimension to the space while remaining flexible by offering a variety of options and colors. Those that are hesitant about hardwood may choose to opt for vinyl planks that resemble hardwood but are more water-proof and resistant to wear.

Open concept floor plans are increasingly incorporated into the kitchen/living room spaces. Keeping the rooms open to each other makes the space feel larger and keeps communicating between the areas easy and accessible. However, not properly furnishing the space can make things feel too large and barren. Try to designate different areas by positioning furniture and incorporating area rugs.

Muted colors with grey undertones have taken the stage in terms of color palettes. The neutral scheme allows for flexibility as your preferences change over time. Those that are looking for more color may choose to add some accent colors and pieces into the space.

Open shelving adds additional light and openness to a space. However, it can be unrealistic when determining a home’s livability. Striking a balance between open and closed shelving can offer the design and organizational benefits that you’re looking for.

Incorporating aspects of the outdoors in interior design is a unique way to integrate a home into its surroundings. Floor to ceiling windows often invite the outdoors inside. With the landscape that Park City offers, it’s almost impossible to resist this design trend.
