The age-old saying, "Less is more," may be proving to spread in both popularity and into the home design demand. According to a recent survey conducted by Realtor.com, the natural, simplistic look seems to be what more people are interested in when designing their custom home. In fact, the leading trend is a space for entertaining family and friends all year round. This manifests itself in spaces that are inviting, rustic, and provide beachside charm, according to the survey. Take a look at the findings to see which styles were also least-preferred. Who would have thought...in a time where we are inundated with "more," all the time, "less" is preferred in the form of simplistic living.

Just in time for the holidays: how does the below space in Hazelwood look to you to entertain family and friends?

They've become an integral part of the family unit, taking over our beds, having their own dining area in the kitchen, taking ownership of a certain part of the couch: you name it, we've adjusted our lifestyles to cater to our pets. In this way, looks like pets have become a top priority for builders. From designing homes with amenities including 'smart' pet doors and elaborate washing and grooming areas, to creating separate living spaces for pets, it's clear that pets are an important factor when helping clients buy or remodel a home. How much importance would you place on your pet's comfort when building or buying a home? What kind of novelty additions do you have in your home to keep your pet happy?
