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!

REFINED Remodeling: Bold Lower Level Lounge

We are so excited to share this stunning Edina project from REFINED Remodeling! Our team enjoyed helping this lovely family renovate their lower level playroom into an expanded wet bar and lounge, and remodel their existing sports court into an exercise studio, home office, and play space.

A few of our favorite design highlights from this project include the custom iron bar table base by Loftus Ornamental Iron, custom cabinets by JD Woodcraft, accent lights by Filament Lighting, and the elegant interior design by our friends at Eminent Interior Design.
