PAQUIN’S PERSPECTIVE ON DESIGN >

NEXT-LEVEL FARMHOUSE VIBES

While getting the nuts and bolts of what made the Lang’s home design such a winner, we also posed some forward-looking design industry questions to Brent Paquin about what he is seeing and hearing from clients about their most recent wish lists.

Based on that information, he says farmhouse style remains extremely popular, but clients are asking for the design to be streamlined.

“A little bit of a younger generation is coming into a financial place [in their lives] where they feel comfortable designing and building their homes, and I think, a lot of that is bringing a little more of the modern aspects in,” Paquin explains.

“What happens with this creeping further into the modern is [an emphasis on the] less decorative and more of an easy, straight-lined, lessis-more-approach to design.”
