Double Islands for Extra Space

Since unveiling our "Sullivan" Model Home at Summer Layne in the Palmyra Area, the concept of a double kitchen island has gained traction. With this stunning double island setting the tone, homebuyers have embraced the feature, with more home plans offering optional layout to fit this stunning feature.

Accent Trim Details

Homeowners are embracing accent trim details, particularly in dining rooms and owner's bedrooms. Geometric and asymmetric wall details, painted in darker accent colors, are becoming popular, showcasing a commitment to intricate design.

Bold Backsplashes

Bold backsplash options are gaining popularity, as well as neutral colors arranged in interesting patterns. Geometric and hexagon patterns remain on-trend, especially in kitchens and owner's showers. Our new Model Home at Walton Hill in Lititz showcases the appeal of linear tiles in a vertical offset, and is available to tour to give even more design inspiration with elevated designer details throughout!

Statement Wooden Hoods in Kitchens

Statement hoods in kitchens, particularly those made of wood, are sought after for their ability to provide an elevated and custom look. These focal points not only serve a functional purpose but also contribute significantly to the overall design aesthetic.

Layered Look in Kitchens

A "layered look" is achieved by using a mix of wood tones or painted finishes. Not just making the island a different finish but incorporating tall pantry or larder cabinets in a different finish. Buyers are looking for their homes to have character and interest, and are taking the time to make their design look thoughtful and interesting.

Light Veining in Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops in kitchens and owner's bathrooms are popular choices. Lighter options with bold veining add a touch of elegance and modernity to these essential spaces, while providing a timeless look that will not go out of style for years to come.

Statement Lighting

Investing in statement lighting has become a priority for homeowners looking to elevate their living spaces. Whether in private rooms such as bedrooms and bathrooms, or main living areas, people are recognizing the transformative power of exquisite lighting fixtures that not only brighten a room but also add a touch of luxury to everyday spaces.

Mixed Metals & Textures

The days of uniform finishes throughout a home are behind us. Mixed metals and textures are trending, offering a diverse and visually appealing aesthetic. Most frequently, we are noticing a difference in finishes between metal lighting fixtures, cabinetry hardware, and even contrasting range hoods. Homeowners are embracing the charm of variety, ensuring every element tells a unique story.

Elevated Stair Railings

Investing in upgraded stair railings has become a design priority for many homeowners. The use of black iron balusters and upgraded newel posts adds a touch of sophistication, elevating the overall appearance of staircases. To take it a step further, varying color newel posts with contrasting wood finishes, or even painted stairs and balusters, have been a popular trend. Everyday sights, including staircases, can become an aesthetic part of your home with an upgraded, custom design.

Cozy Contemporary

A trend towards cozy contemporary designs reflects a desire for simplicity and neutrality. Buyers are opting for muted tones while incorporating interest through textures, patterns, and a mix of styles and finishes. Combining simplicity and warmth, with muted tones as the backdrop, we're seeing a surge in interest for textures, patterns, and a blend of different styles and finishes. It's all about creating that inviting atmosphere while keeping things fresh and modern.

Spacious Owner's Showers

Larger owner's bath showers, ranging from 5' x 5' and beyond, are gaining favor. Homebuyers are prioritizing space and including bench seating for a luxurious and functional shower experience. To enhance this everyday space, homeowners are adding listello tile to not only built-in shelves, but also running the height of the wall.

Lighter Flooring Options and Durable Alternatives

Lighter flooring options, including luxury vinyl plank flooring, continue to dominate the scene. The shift towards durability and waterproof materials is evident, with hardware being used less frequently. Buyers are gravitating towards timeless, mid-toned wood options.

As design trends evolve, our Design Gallery consultants continue to stay ahead of the trend to guide you in the right direction, providing knowledgeable and tasteful information along the way to create a custom, timeless look in your home.

In the dynamic world of home design, these trends offer a glimpse into the evolving preferences of homeowners who seek not just a place to live, but a personalized sanctuary that reflects their unique style and sophistication.
