8 Influential Home Design Trends for 2012
The National Association of Home Builders sees the year ahead through the eyes of its annual design award winners
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) annually conducts its Best in American Living Awards (BALA).
These awards, open to builders and design professionals, acknowledge
that good design "is not and should not be limited to high-priced and
custom homes."
The NAHB uses these design awards to look for upcoming trends for new home design. This year the jurors identified eight design trends that will have an influence on new home designs in 2012 and into the future.
When speaking about these trends at the International Builders Show, held in February in Orlando, Florida, BALA jurors Heather McCune, Mark Kiner and Victor Mirontshuk all noted that new home design is significantly better now than just a few years ago. Unlike in the recent boom years, when just about anything built was sold, strong competition in the current market is forcing all builders to improve home design.
A better home with an eye to the future. Now that's what I call better living.

Design trend no. 1: classic yet contemporary. The
new houses with strong sales now are those that blend modern and
traditional elements to create cleaner and simpler elevations. Interior
spaces are clean, bright and simple. Gone are the heavy detailing and
generous ornamentation of the recent past.
