20 22 NEW YEAR DREAM HOME

BY MALLORY WALKER WITH WALKER DESIGN & CO

I had the privilege of designing this home from the ground up. The homeowners brought a great vision to the table and wanted to stay ahead of design trends to create a timeless and sophisticated design. We took our inspiration from Dream Home Makeover with Studio McGee and focused on all the details to design this stunning dream custom home!

From the board and batten to the outline of the shower niches, we went with clean lines though out the home! The master bath’s focal point is a free-standing accent wall located behind the tub which features oversized shiplap. This keeps the master bath light and bright and is one of my favorite design details! The clean lines continue through the black windows and French doors leading to the outdoor entertaining space. We decided to pass on the crown molding but included an oversized baseboard with a smooth finish.

DARK ACCENTS & CONTRAST

To create flow through out this home, we painted the interior doors black to pop but softened the contrast by matching the wall paint to the trim! The family room features a black shiplap ceiling, which is one of my favorite trends to create contrast while keeping the overall look of the space light and bright. We used Sherwin Williams’ 2021 Color of the Year, Urbane Bronze, in both the home gym and lounge accenting both the walls and trim it creates a moody and sophisticated atmosphere!

INVEST IN QUALITY FURNITURE

Not only did we select interior finishes, but we also invested in new furniture and staged every room in this stunning home! Quality furniture is worth the investment! We selected furniture that was not only stylish but could withstand the test of time! Textiles such as accent pillows and rugs as well as wall art are a couple of décor items I usually like to upgrade to create a sophisticated design plan!

If building your dream custom home is on your to do list for 2022, start with a written design plan! This is one of the best tips I can share as a designer! From paint selections to lighting, having a written plan for your home build can help you and everyone else on your team achieve your dream home! WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS FEATURED HOME?
