We
believe that your home is much more than a house — it’s your place in the
world. That’s why it should look and feel exactly
the way you want it to, from the flooring and paint to the lighting and
fixtures. When you choose to build a Hubbell Home with us, our Design Studio manager, Stacey McDonald,
will work closely with you to choose selections that reflect your personal
style and create that special place you’ve been looking for.
An
expert on all things design, Stacey is your trusted go-to for
personalized selections as well as general home design inspiration. We sat down
with her to discuss a few of her favorite design trends she’s seeing this year
as well as how she enjoys decorating her own home… take a look and get inspired
by her unique vision!
Color Blocking (Kitchen Cabinetry): Mixing white-painted upper
cabinets with a painted island and/or base cabinets and island.
White Walls: Filling a room with light and then
letting your items do the talking and be the star of attention with their
colors and texture.
Natural Elements: Light wood looks and being able to see the grain in your flooring. Woven
textures in baskets, rattan, etc. as well as dark metal mixing.
LVP Flooring (Luxury Vinyl Planks): Still very popular for their
“easy-to-live-on” characteristics and ability to flow into the “could-be-wet”
areas of your home (bathrooms, laundry, etc.)
Warm Colors: Alongside cooler colors, warm colors
are coming back into play — think blues and greens mixed with warm caramel
colors.
Anything
with pumpkin orange! I love some of the darker pumpkin oranges and caramel
colors mixed with the newer darker greens coming through.
We
have new clean-line plumbing options in chrome, brushed nickel, and matte
black. We’ve got this beautiful new gold-colored kitchen
faucet
on display from Kohler (Crue). We also have tons of awesome LVP flooring
options and sculpted wall tiles. In terms of cabinetry, we have 12 paint and 12 stain options
starting at the same price as our Base Level home options. We’re seeing soft
taupe colors and blues and greens starting to trend!
I
really do have an appreciation of so many different styles. What is so fun
about being a designer is that I get to play in them all and live vicariously
through my clients. Personally, I enjoy the visual energy that comes from a lot
of colors, which is why my home is currently decorated mid-mod style with
energetic colors, medium and light wood tones, and framed around white walls.
I’m getting inspired by the dark green colors coming out and pairing those with blacks and natural colors. I’m designing a home yoga space and might start bringing some of that smooth dark green into my world for some relaxation.
