Style Spotlight Series: Coastal Design

We’re excited to kick off something new on the blog today: the Style Spotlight series! The first home trend we’re exploring is coastal design. Breezy, bright, and natural, coastal style stands the test of time. Originating in seaside vacation homes, coastal design evolved into an aesthetic that transcends the beach.

We love this style because it creates calm, classic, welcoming spaces. Who doesn’t want their home to remind them of a sunny day by the water? Coastal homes are relaxing, filled with the tones of sand, clouds, and sea, natural fabrics and textures, oversized windows that emphasize the view, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces.

Many of our clients are drawn to this serene and sophisticated design palette. If you’re searching for coastal inspiration, scroll through the gallery below to see their beautiful variations on this captivating style!

Cozy and Fun Spaces for Winter Hibernation

The holiday rush has passed, and hibernation season has settled over Minnesota. Whether we see snowstorms or subzero temps, tis the season to get cozy! Sure, you can keep busy with outdoor sports and activities, but one of the pleasures of winter is embracing the joy and comfort of Hygge season.

Today, we’re highlighting our favorite client spaces for cozy and fun winter hibernation. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of building countless stunning homes of all design styles. Coziness can look different for every homeowner. You might prefer relaxing by a crackling fire; however your neighbors might unwind with a rousing game night or family-friendly movie-marathon.

Making an Impression: Entries with Style

Your home’s entry is more than a necessity; it's the gateway to your style. What welcomes you home? As the adage goes, “You only get one chance to make a first impression” - what does your entryway convey?

The moment they pull into the driveway or walk through the door, your guests get a snapshot of your family’s life. What they see is your choice. Whether your aesthetic is cozy and inviting, modern and minimal, playful and inspiring, classic and elegant, tasteful and traditional, we’ll create a home that reflects you.
