Custom Home Trends for 2017

With the New Year comes new home trends. Sheffield Homes is pleased to bring you the top custom home building trends for 2017 to consider integrating into your new home. Whether you are building your custom dream home, or are redecorating and renovating, keep these top home trends in mind:

Rescued & Reclaimed Materials

Give your home a warm, welcoming and cozy feel with finishes that already have a broken-in look. Dents, chips, scratches and signs of wear add character and texture to your home.

Colored Stainless Steel

The sleek look of stainless steel is getting a makeover with the infusion of color. This trend adds a splash of versatility and a pop of interest to your kitchen decor.

Nooks

Nooks create interest and provide a cozy respite away from technology and other noisy activity. Areas for reading and crafting are now highly sought-after spaces.

Terracotta

Warmer colors are replacing the cool blues and whites that have been popular for a few years – particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.

Smart Homes

Devices to control everything from heating and cooling to security and lighting to entertainment and appliances will be front and center in 2017.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper as large-scale murals, featuring textures, lines and patterns are turning walls into art.

Combining Antique, Rustic and Modern Elements

Mixing and matching pieces that reflect your unique taste will keep your home looking timeless, rather than saddling you with a trend that eventually goes out of style.

Pops of Color

Color is an important accent in 2017 with splashes of warmer hues taking the spotlight.

Two-tone Kitchen Cabinets

Can’t decide between “light and clean” and “deeper and darker.” This year it’s okay to choose both — more neutral, white or lighter shades on the upper cabinets, and more dramatic tones, colors and textures on the lower cabinets.

Outdoor Fabric Used Indoors

Outdoor fabrics have become more refined and their durability makes them an attractive choice for indoors as well.

Extra-Large-Format Tile

Homeowners are getting creative with extra large tiles (think 3 ft. x 6 ft.) for use in fireplace surrounds and other dramatic applications.

Deep Kitchen Drawers

Drawers will be gliding into kitchens more and more this year, as people embrace them for easy storage and access — even in deep corners. Clever dividers and  inserts make them even more adaptable for any type of utensil, dish or pan.

Niche Appliances

Steam ovens, warming drawers and induction cooktops are just a few of the options that add safety and convenience to the kitchen.

Large Multi-Functional Islands in the Kitchen

Kitchen islands continue to grow in usefulness with seating, storage, sinks and more incorporated into one central space.

Openness and Raw Materials

Kitchens are the hub of the home for a variety of activities. Open shelves and raw materials contribute to the simplicity and versatility of the space.

Surprising Backsplash & Countertop Pairings

Think outside the box and have some fun mixing and matching materials.

Bathrooms that Feel More Like Living Spaces

Graphic wallpaper, furniture and chandeliers make the bathroom a continuation of your living space, rather than a separate, sterile space.

White Kitchens with Personality

White kitchens have always been popular, but the right splash of color, pattern and texture can keep yours from looking cold and uninviting.

Farmhouse Entryways

Functional storage, durable materials, and design simplicity are taking center stage in mudrooms and entryways.

Fire Features

Gas fireplaces add warmth and beauty without the hassle of wood burning fires.
