The rapid emergence of transitional home design<\/a> might possibly be one of the best things to come out of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With what we all experienced in the last couple of years, the need to hold onto what \u201cfelt like home\u201d merged with a desire for something new. People want elevated simplicity and logical design schemes. With this exciting new transitional home design trend, homeowners and builders alike are realizing that you CAN<\/strong> have your cake and eat it, too. Not sure what we mean? Explore how traditional and contemporary sensibilities come together below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROOF LINES UNITE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the White Lily<\/a> design, there are three roof lines in play: gable, shed, and even bonnet. Large grid windows, the vertical lines of board and batten siding, horizontally oriented brick, and capstone headers all do their part to provide modern flair without compromising the dominant features of the beloved modern farmhouse style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WINDOWS\u2014A LOT OF OVERSIZED WINDOWS <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Berkshire<\/a> design has a traditional shape but brings jaw-dropping windows front and center like a contemporary home would. These windows bring in tons of natural light and add great \u201cwow factor\u201d for curb appeal. They also bring in views of the greenery and landscaping outside, framing surroundings like artwork. Also notice the unique window frames, chic divided lites, and transoms over the garage doors\u2014all about light and stylish definition. You’ll see that walls of windows are hot in homes of all styles right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPEN FLOOR PLANS\u2026 ARE THEY GOING ANYWHERE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fear not\u2014homeowners aren\u2019t ready to give up their open floor plans! But sometimes you need more private space. Perhaps an office to work from home, or a study area for the kids? Transitional home design intentionally closes some space for better focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also notice that features you already know and love are changing. Master suites continue to get more luxurious and spa-like with features like 5-piece baths and pass-through laundry rooms in the master closet. First floor in-law suites are gaining traction as well! Take a look at the Federer<\/a> design to see a well-balanced home for today’s families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DICK VAN DYKE HAS SPOKEN\u2026 SUNKEN LIVING ROOMS ARE BACK<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Rosco<\/a> plan shows another creative way to separate spaces. It defines the family room with a sunken floor a few steps down from the main living areas. This helps create intimacy and boundaries without compartmentalization. Sunken rooms provide warmth and break up the openness of the main level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
