Though preferences in design are subjective, trends are not, and the trends of interior design in 2024 will be much different than in previous years. Previously, almost every on-trend space except your grandma’s sitting room was minimal. Minimal in color and maximal in neutral tones. This year is the reverse. It will trend towards patterned couches, unique art pieces, varied tile configurations, and a subtle flare for vogue taste. We can thank grandmas and house magazine features on YouTube for this lean toward eclectic pieces and bold patterns.
This time of year, all anyone thinks about are fireplaces and hot beverages. When it comes to having an efficient, beautiful, and lasting fireplace we at Collins Builders ensure exactly that. We’ve worked with multiple companies to build fireplaces and other stone pieces in our client’s homes, but Earthcore’s product retains value and our client’s happiness more than any. Earthcore is a company that manufactures and specializes in high-quality luxury fireplaces. They are particularly known for their Isokern brand of modular and customizable fireplace systems. Isokern fireplaces are made from volcanic pumice, which offers exceptional insulation properties and durability. There are three reasons why Isokern fireplaces are better than traditional brick.
In the world of luxury home design, creating the perfect ambiance is an art. A key element of this art is lighting, which has the power to transform spaces, making them not just functional but inviting. The beauty lies in simplicity; here are some elegant tips to create the perfect ambiance in your home.
The almost year round warm weather here in Florida has many of our clients choosing to install a pool with their new home. Besides the obvious fun that a pool provides, it also add another design element to your home’s exterior, making the design of the pool an important part of the overall selection process. You want to coordinate the pavers and the water tile to the style and colors of your home, but there are also options you can include in the pool design that will make it stand out in your backyard.
One of the biggest impacts you can have on your new Collins Builders kitchen design is to incorporate a decorative hood over your range or cooktop. A custom hood can instantly create a focal point for the entire space, and provide a sense of luxury in the design. Hoods come in all shapes and sizes, allowing you to customize it to your particular taste and style. Decorative hoods are a design feature that brings a major wow factor.
A summer kitchen is a grilling and food preparation area outside, usually on a covered porch. At Collins Builders, we custom design the layout and materials for our clients to build a summer kitchen that functions for their families’ outdoor lifestyle. There are several popular items you might want to include in your new grill area, depending on how you cook and entertain.
A spacious pantry is on the list for most of our clients when it comes to their needs for a new home. It’s essential to consider your family’s storage needs for bulk purchases and weekly grocery runs when creating your new custom kitchen. Walk-in pantries are a staple of the homes we design at Collins Builders, and when combined with innovative storage and features, it just might become one of your favorite spots in your home!
The refrigerator is perhaps the most used appliance in your home, and as such, it’s essential to be sure the unit you choose will perform for your family. There are several different configurations available: side by side, French Door, full depth, counter depth, columns, and built-in models. Built-in refrigerators have some unique advantages that might make them the ideal fit for your needs.
Bathrooms today have become a retreat where you can relax and unwind at the end of the day. Freestanding tubs and large walk-in showers create a spa-like atmosphere, and all of our custom home designs at Collins Builders include oversized vanities in the Owner’s Bath. Having a well-organized bath enhance the serene feeling of the space.
We all want our custom homes to be secure from the outside world, and top-notch security features are a major component of that. Small additions can make a big difference, and planning for your needs during construction ensures that you have the proper installation for any enhancements you want to make. While security features are incredibly customizable, there are a few universal items you might want to consider as part of your new custom home.
