Home Design Trends That Never Go Out of Style
Are You an Interior Design Trendsetter or Do You Prefer Classic Home Styles? Either Way, Dowd Brothers Homes Are Built to Last
Just like fashion trends, home trends go in and out of style. In the early 2000s, we saw deep reds and browns mixed with classical or Mediterranean features, and in the 2010s, white kitchens and open concepts were all the rage. Popular home styles change regularly, but that doesn’t mean you have to say yes to every new style. When following the trends, you should be discerning. If you're building a custom home in southeastern Missouri, Dowd Brothers can help you sort through the trends and select the styles that will last.
How to decorate your home with trendy colors without breaking the bank
When it comes to new home trends, some are easier to follow than others. Trending colors are easy to incorporate into your home. While whites and neutrals dominated the 2010s, greens and blues seem to be one of the most popular color choices in homes in 2022. You can easily add pops of color with throw pillows, curtains, and other textiles. You can also upgrade your shelving with colorful pottery or sculptures. Do you want to try a trending color on a large scale? Start by painting a bedroom or bathroom. By starting small, if you end up not liking the color or it goes out of style quickly, you can easily paint over it with the next trending color.
Ready to commit to the colorful kitchen cabinets trend? Dowd Brothers can help. We build custom kitchen cabinets and living room shelving for our spec homes and custom homes. In your initial consultation, we will discuss your design style and needs, addressing colors, trends, and how you want your kitchen to function.

Build your custom home with flooring & countertops that will be durable & beautiful for a lifetime
One of the hardest things to swap out in your home is the materials used. This includes flooring, countertops, cabinets, and plumbing fixtures. For hundreds of years, wood floors were the same color as the trees they were hewn from. For the last century, contractors have become more creative with their flooring, including custom stains, patterns, and plank sizes. We’ve seen wide planks and thin planks, parquet, herringbone, and angled designs, and black, white, cherry, and cool-toned wood floors. In 2022, we’ve seen light-washed wide plans gain popularity. However, in the 2010s, dark hardwood floors were incredibly popular. In our craftsman-style homes, we suggest natural-toned wide planks to maintain a timeless look.
Selecting your kitchen countertops should be based mostly on how you plan to use them rather than style. If you are a hard-core chef who needs tough countertops, quartz or granite is a perfect choice. Quartz and granite are durable and hygienic. For those who don’t cook a ton but still want a beautiful kitchen, quartz, marble, or soapstone countertops can really make a stunning impact. Consult with Dowd Brothers’ professional contractors to learn more about the best countertop option for your lifestyle.
