Building a custom home comes with the luxury of designing a space that suits your needs and your style. It also allows you to build the most value into your home when you keep timely interior design trends in mind. At Fawn Run at the Ponds in Kelowna’s Upper Mission, you can create sweet luxuries in every aspect of your custom home.
Without designated home builders or strict design guidelines, our Open Builder Program and Development Guidelines allow your personal tastes and preferences to shine through while upholding the integrity of the community. This means that your home at Fawn Run at The Ponds can be custom designed to your family’s unique needs and style. A huge advantage that comes with designing and building a custom home is that you are able to tailor every detail of the house to your taste and style. It is truly special when your preferences and identity become intertwined in the design of your home, from its layout to the materials and finishes.
A brand new custom-designed home that perfectly reflects your lifestyle? Now that is luxury.
Working with a reputable interior designer can make bringing your vision to life and staying on trend easy. We spoke to our friends, award-winning custom home builder, Align West Homes, to get their expert opinions on interior design. From current and up-and-coming trends to must-have design features, we hope to inspire some interior design ideas that you wish to incorporate into your new custom home at Fawn Run.
We want to say a big thank you to Raquel Millkin, Interior Designer with Isabey Interiors and Align West Homes, for sharing her insights.
Three interior design features that are very popular right now according to Millkin are as follows:
Warm tones. Mid-tone warm chestnut coloured hardwood is quite popular. It envelopes a home in warmth, inviting you and your guests in.
Zellige Tile. The visual interest from slight colour variations creates an interesting tone-on-tone warmth. This is the perfect detail to add to a backsplash or shower wall.
Wall murals vs. Wallpaper. Scenic wallpaper and murals are quite popular and are a unique way to add personal touches and artwork to rooms throughout your home.
When we asked Millkin about interior design features that she has been seeing more of lately, she shared a few that are on the rise. These features are design choices to watch and may hint at trends that may become more and more popular in the coming years.
Rooms and Ceiling Colour Washing: Wrapping the room and ceiling in a dark and moody colour such as an earthy green creates depth and coziness.
Character Rich Furniture: Say goodbye to “Fast Furniture” and hello to quality built-to-last pieces. Don’t have the money to buy new? Have fun hunting through antique shops for the perfect piece.
Warm Colours in Cabinetry: Warm colours throughout the kitchen are soft and inviting.
According to Millkin, these are the top three design features to include in your custom home.
Natural Materials: Align West Homes loves using natural materials, such as, natural stone, clay walls, and rustic beams to create homes that are cozy and inviting.
Ceilings as your “fifth wall”. This interior design choice involves using panelling, moldings, wallpaper, clay plaster, beams or simply a darker paint to add character and interest to your ceilings.
Statement Mantle or Range Hood. A statement mantle around your fireplace or a statement range hood above your stove are great ways to add additional character to your living spaces.
These features can be much more difficult and costly to incorporate into a home after the fact and thus highlight one of the biggest benefits of building a custom home: being able to control the design elements and materials of your home from the get-go.
Fawn Run is a family-oriented, amenity-rich lakeview community where you can put down your roots. To make a home truly feel like your home, it is important that it reflects your values, your unique needs, and your authentic self.
