New Construction
Pullman WA Real Estate -- New Construction -- Building Trends
By Lori Cofer ~ "Your Pullman Real Estate Connection"
Today's trends are toward open floor plans and spacious kitchens. Gone are the days of compartmentalized rooms. The new generation of homes have a flow from room to room providing both large areas for gatherings and private spaces.
Due to lifestyle changes, the kitchen and adjoining family rooms have become the heart of our homes, both for family times as well as entertaining.
Bedrooms have also undergone great changes. The days of a room merely for sleeping have also disappeared. Today's new plans boast large, spacious master suites to retreat from the pressures of everyday life. Children's rooms are also being redefined with individualized study/play areas.
We have also become a media centered generation and this too is reflecting in our homes. Built in media centers, ipod docs, and surround sound are a great new addition to today's new homes.
Today's new homes are leaning toward more environmental responsibility. Increased awareness of the spiraling cost of energy is resulting in increased energy efficiency. Many homeowners are also considering building "green."
These are just a few current trends that are making their way into the building industry. If you considered building, do feel free to call me. I would be happy to take the stress out of building your new home. It might surprise you how cost-effective and fun it can be!
