Everyone Can Love the 2018 Modern Home!

Are you an HGTV House Hunters viewer? (If not, save it for a rainy day!) If you are, you’re very familiar with the dispute that often arises between Modern and Traditional tastes. As the realtor swings back and forth, from a charming home to a minimal design – it can be a real tug of war. Some of us might even wager on who wins out. What’s interesting to us, is how inherently we lean one way or another when it comes to home design.

Maybe this choice reflects how open we are to change, or how much we value things of the past. For every generation, new technology, materials and gadgets come along – only to be replaced or upgraded. In 2018, we expect change around every corner. While some of us embrace technology quickly (with an appetite for more), others muddle through (refusing to update their operating systems!).  Wouldn’t it be interesting to compare these tendencies to the distinct personalities we see in design choices?

Is there a way for these two sides to co-exist and get what they want? We think so – at least for home design.  Really, the solution lies in offering materials that offer both clean, straight lines plus ample character and staying power. That’s why we’re very excited to share these home ideas – because we see a beautiful marriage of modern and traditional. When design combines strong, modern lines with natural, character-rich products like stone and wood – you get the best of both worlds. Enjoy!
