Spring is a time when interior designers, paint manufacturers and furniture retailers are showcasing the latest and greatest ideas and trends in interior design.  There are some big ideas and some small ideas in interior design this year, some are trendy in nature and some will stand the test of time.  The secret to timeliness decorating is committing to a core style which informs key pieces of the room (such as flooring, windows, paint and lighting), secondly infusing your personal life story into the space and then overlaying some fun and trendy features (that can be easily updated).

One of the most popular styles is contemporary, this style reflects us those ideas and trends that are important to “us” “now”.  Our current contemporary trends show sensitivity toward environmentally friendly materials with a nod to urban tones and minimalization.  In contrast to a contemporary room, a traditional room features elements that have been rooted in historical design but are none the less influenced by current styles.

A fun way to keep your décor exciting without breaking the bank is to assign one seasonal wall that can be updated with a new piece of art and to select one table top that gets a new piece of glass or photo frame arrangement.  When you do your annual refresh, add pillows or other fabric items that support your new pieces and are in flow with your core design plan.

Enjoy the journey of making your house a home and have fun telling your story through interior design.  Check out Lennar’s Open Door Blog for more ideas on decorating your new home.

When looking for a new home online you will come across thousands of floorplans. All of them are great and functional for different people, but the question you need to keep in mind while exploring them is: “Will this floorplan meet my family’s needs?” It is hard to know on the spot whether a floorplan will work for you while aimlessly exploring different options. Clear your browser and take some time to define your wants and needs for your new home.

Here are four questions to ask yourself before continuing your search for the perfect floorplan:

Why am I looking for a new home?

It is important to reflect on some of the reasons you are looking into buying a new home. Make a list of the wants and needs your current home is not meeting. 

Here a few things to consider:

By answering these questions you will able to get a feel for your new homes square footage requirements. 

What do I like about my current home?

Although you are looking for a new home, there may be some things you love about your current home. You might enjoy having a window by the sink or having a front porch to do some leisure reading after dinner. Make note of what features you would like to “take with you” to your new home.

Will this floorplan accommodate my family’s lifestyle?

Reflect on what rooms in your home you spend the most time in. Do you spend quite a lot of time in the kitchen cooking delicious dishes for your guest to enjoy? Is your home the hot spot when it comes to watching games or the latest episode of your favorite show? You might realize that it’s time to buy a bigger home with an open floorplan so that you are able to comfortably entertain all of your loved ones.

How will my life look like in 5 – 10 years?

Life does not always go exactly according to plan, but try to imagine what your life might look like in 5-10 years. Think about how your personal and professional life might change, and start planning for the future. Will you have more kids or are you closer to becoming an empty nester? If so, consider how many bedrooms you will need to accommodate your family. Do you plan on making your side hustle into your full-time job? This is a good indication that you’ll need extra space for an office or equipment. Buying an appropriately sized home will ensure that your new home is flexible enough for your current and future needs.
