Missed Cincy HOMEARAMA® in Loveland, OH, this year? No worries—we’ve got you covered! Our trend experts at Organized Living scouted the show to highlight how Owner Developers can integrate popular Single Family home features, like customizable and high-end closet systems, into their Multifamily properties. These trends offer residents a more personalized living experience, blending the best of both worlds.
1. Texture Everywhere
Texture continues to dominate the design scene, adding depth and personality to any room. From tactile walls and plush carpets to textured furniture and décor, it's the secret ingredient that makes a space feel alive. Whether you’re opting for textured wall treatments, adding texture can make your properties feel inviting, personalized, and on-trend.
2. Statement Lighting
Lighting is having a major moment as a statement piece, and we’re loving it! Think bold fixtures over staircases, eye-catching chandeliers above dining tables, and sleek cabinet lighting that doubles as art. These aren’t just lights—they’re mood-setters, room definers, and conversation starters that residents are looking for.
3. Smart Storage Solutions
Storage is always in style, and this year was no different. We were thrilled to showcase our freedomRail® adjustable system in the Drees Homes model, highlighting how smart design maximizes every inch of space. We also spotted clever storage ideas like butler’s pantries, luxe walk-in closets, and multi-purpose rooms that keep clutter at bay while looking sleek.
4. Mixed Hardware
Out with the old matching hardware and in with the mix! Homes showcased a range of hardware styles—matte black, brushed gold, bronze, and even rose gold—for a layered, eclectic look. We also saw unique pairings like fluted glass with metal cabinet doors, proving that mixing finishes is a trend that’s here to stay.
5. Natural Influence
Bringing the outdoors in continues to inspire design, and we saw it everywhere at the show. From earthy wood tones and wicker accents to greenery that breathes life into any room, nature-inspired décor blends seamlessly with modern design. It’s about creating a tranquil, eco-friendly space that feels fresh and connected to the natural world.
