2018 Interior Design Color Trends for New Homes in Waverley Community, Sarasota

Jan 02, 2018

We spend a lot of time at home, and the look of our space profoundly impacts our mood and wellbeing. When we get tired of our surrounding aesthetic appeal, sometimes to shake things and freshen the look, we only need a fresh coat of paint. Sometimes, it takes the slight change in your surrounding detail to bring about a remarkable change in your environment.

Colors invoke similar reactions in most people, however, shade, saturation, and other factors appeal to different sorts of people and cite various kinds of moods. For example, light colors can make a room more spacious, while dark colors can communicate closeness and intimacy.

2018 is all about creating a balanced space, perfect for adapting to the fast-paced lives of the modern-day homeowner. 2018’s top 4 colors help invoke a sense of complexity and help create areas that function how you need them to work. For example, a kitchen that is bright and beautiful in the morning, while at night, transforming into a sensual culinary experience is highly desired. Let’s check out the latest color trends that are going to trend in 2018:


Heavenly White Creates a Clean Look at Homes in Waverley Community


White remains essential in 2018. White is timeless and creates a luminescent in the space, whether it’s a small bathroom or a cozy living area. White pairs well with active, loud colors to create an energetic atmosphere. White is also a clean, pure color. It represents innocence, setting a fresh tone.

Is white worth it? White is for confident and self-sufficient people. White can also bring peace of mind to busy thoughts. People who want to surround themselves with purity, cleanliness, and shine will embrace the light white brings to any room. While white requires much more cleaning, such as spaces like bathrooms and kitchens, the upkeep is well worth the bright white will bring to your life.


Vivacious Yellow Brightens Your Day in A Medallion Home


Like sunlight bursting through the wind, 2018 rooms demand yellow. Yellow is stimulating. It works as a primary color for a classic setting or, when paired with a muted tone, creates a modern, thriving space. The cheery quality that yellow bring reflects the essence of extroversion. Yellow demands attention and incites action.

Is yellow yours? Yellow is an interior color stand out for 2018 because of the optimism and atypical nature the color brings to walls and furnishings. Neutral yellows will accent any home, and brighter yellows will help communicate your extraversion in your home. Bedrooms will benefit significantly from yellow, as space works well in both the day and nighttime, creating an area that is always evolving to fit your needs.


Sophisticated Grey Stands Out in Florida


Grey is a top trending color this year. The effect of the combination of grey with a white tone can accent a room, opening the space, and creating a feeling of open ventilation. This color demands grace. Grey also tames stronger colors and illuminating the subtle tones. Grey is elegant and communicates a sense of sophistication and poise. It is also a color of class and maturity.

Are you going grey? For young professionals purchasing their first home, to sophisticated adults who appreciate elegance in their décor, grey is the perfect color to express your intellectual side. Grey is ideal for people who consistently switch up their interior decorating styles because it adapts so well to everything. Grey also is a 2018 color because it is replacing black as the modern go-to for sleekness. Charcoal grey is a much stronger color and is light enough to stand out from the crowd. Your home will benefit from a splash of this color, no matter which shade.


Essential Blue Creates Calm and Clarity in Sarasota, FL


With minimal in mind, this uncomplicated color creates a peaceful setting especially shades that consider refreshing blue-grey-green blend. Blue communicates trust, belonging, and relaxation. Blue feels refreshed, joying and evokes friendliness towards space. Your home will feel like your best friend when blue tones and palettes are considered in your redesign. Blue areas also have been known to increase your mental health state. Blue reduces psychological distress.

Are you buying blue? People who suffer from holding the world on their shoulders will find bliss in blue walls, ceilings, or furnishings. The color brings a coastal element and when combined with greys and complimentary greens, can soothe and calm any time of day. For homes that benefit from an open concept layout, blue perfectly ties together a multi-use space. It isn’t as dramatic as yellow but uses the same subtle concepts as white and grey. A right color combination of all four put together a palette that genuinely reflects the times.

In Florida and throughout the country, PGT Impact Windows are the gold standard when it comes to storm protection. Here at Medallion Home, we initially offered these premium windows as an upgrade because of the investment but they provide so much benefit to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner that we've decided to make them our standard in every home we build. What Are Impact Windows? Impact windows combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant, laminated glass and a special silicone glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. That means that during storms and hurricanes, if flying debris hits your windows, they will stay intact rather than shatter, protecting your home from the elements and people and pets from shards of glass. But these windows can do even more. Noise Reduction Your home should be your sanctuary, one where you leave the outside world at the door and that includes noise. Noise pollution is a very real thing and can disrupt your sleep at night, focus during work, or even a good movie night. PGT's impact windows reduce noise from outside by as much as 65%. UV Protection The sun's UV rays are good in small doses to help your body create essential Vitamin D, but there's really no good reason to have them flooding the interior of your home. These powerful rays can fade your furniture, flooring, and drapes, making these items look old and worn before their time. Impact windows can preserve the beauty of your home and help you save money by filtering out 99% of UV rays while still allowing in natural sunlight. Maximum Energy Savings Heating and cooling a home accounts for nearly half of the average American home's energy costs. Security About 23% of all home break-ins are accessed through a first-floor window. Impact windows are designed to withstand repeated impact from a 9-lb, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 miles per hour. It's very, very hard to break an Impact Window (if it can be done at all). It's not the kind of challenge most burglars want to face. Return on Investment For all the reasons above, particularly in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes are a way of life, impact windows are appealing in any home. These specialty windows can yield as much as an 80% return on investment, ensuring that you'll get top dollar should you ever need to sell your home. Now Standard in All Medallion Homes High quality, impact-resistant windows shouldn't be luxuries - they should be standard features. That's why we now include them in every new home we build. Enjoy the benefits of increased storm protection, noise reduction, UV protection, savings, and security every day. Contact us to learn more.
