Holiday Hosting: Making Spirits Bright

The holiday season has arrived, which means it’s time for many of us to start thinking about hosting. Our traditions may look different from house to house, but most of us have the same goal in mind: making beautiful memories with the people we love.

Whether your gathering is formal or casual, we all aspire to host with grace and put our guests at ease. At REFINED, we design homes around your lifestyle. Our mission is to discover your unique version of hospitality and create a home that reflects it.

Home Building Essentials: Smart Storage Trends

Storage is an essential element of any thoughtfully designed home. Even the most beautiful space will feel noisy, inefficient, and cluttered without planned integrated storage.

Our team takes pride in staying informed and up-to-date on the technology and trends that impact our industry. We love finding innovative solutions that integrate design, technology, and organization for our clients.

While some building trends come and go, others are evergreen and reemerge over time. Classic butler’s pantries have seen a huge return in modern home design, along with extended larders and prep kitchens.

Scroll below to explore a few of our favorite storage trends and essentials, from mudrooms to cellars to closets!

Cozy Indoor Spaces for Autumn Gatherings

If there’s one thing we love about autumn, it’s reveling in all things comforting and cozy. Of course, we enjoy seeing the fall foliage and apple picking, but some of our favorite fall moments revolve around family time at home.

Whether it’s watching a football game together, cuddling up for movie night, playing games by the fire, or sitting down to a dinner of our favorite comfort food - everyday moments are often our most treasured memories.

It is our honor to build homes where our clients write their family’s story. Browse the photos below to explore their beautiful spaces for cozy family gatherings!

Our Favorite Instagram Posts

It probably isn’t a surprise that one of our favorite places to share content is Instagram. As longstanding members of the home building and remodeling industry, we love having this fun outlet to post photos, discuss our work, and engage with clients and peers.

The best part of what we do is seeing clients react to their new homes. So, it’s only natural that we’d enjoy connecting with people over our projects online too!
