Top Trends of 2019
Chesapeake Homes’ buyers personal style shined in 2019 by personalizing their homes with the Design Gallery offering a wide variety of high-performing and on trend products.
The predominate flooring choice for buyers is Mohawk’s RevWood flooring collection. This flooring, otherwise known as laminate, is incredibly durable, offering scratch and water resistance. With Mohawk’s latest product line, RevWood Plus, buyers have been able to take advantage of a wood fiber core flooring that remains waterproof for up to 24 hours.
In the kitchen, brawn and beauty win with quartz countertops. Quartz comes in so many beautiful options, while being maintenance free and anti-microbial. That’s a huge win for families who enjoy their time gathered around the kitchen island.
Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s Fixer Upper’s farmhouse style continues reign and influence many buyers’ design style. Instead of leaning towards the distressed “chippy” farmhouse style, most buyers embraced the clean, farmhouse look with all white kitchens – white cabinets, white subway tile backsplash, and white farmhouse sink. In addition to white, gray is the new neutral, and was used in many combinations with white and even darker stain selections.
Moving into 2020, gray and white are here to stay, and continue to be the basis of a neutral palate. There has been a slight shift towards incorporating earthy wood-tones into the gray and white. Many of the flooring choices are warmer, mixing wood tones with the gray stain. Creating a memory point in one’s home has been fun to explore with patterned tiles. Dal Tile has launched several collections that bring bathroom and laundry room floors to life. It allows buyers to make a statement in a smaller space that isn’t overwhelming to the eye. The jewelry of the home, lighting and cabinet hardware, brings gold back into play. The new gold is a soft and sleek, blending well with most any style a buyer fancies.
Whether farmhouse, modern, traditional or any combination of those, Chesapeake Homes Design Gallery consultants can help guide you to the perfect home, personalized for you and in your budget.
