Building a new home not only provides the opportunity to craft the custom residence you have always wanted, but it also offers the chance to learn about exciting design trends. If you are preparing for such a project, review the latest trends taking over the new construction world in 2018. They will all contribute to the efficient, functional, beautiful home you desire.

Top 5 New Construction Trends For 2018

1. Luxury Closets

Walk-in closets off master bedrooms provide the extra storage many homeowners want. They are frequently built in conjunction with master baths to create a more luxurious look and feel that also offers a fantastic selling point if you decide to put your home on the market.

2. Concrete Accents

Concrete replaced marble as a go-to material thanks to its affordability and versatility. As a countertop and flooring favorite, concrete is increasingly used as an interior design and hardscaping element. Pendant lighting and permanent outdoor furniture are among its current uses.

3. Eco-Friendly Features

Eco-friendly features, such as energy-efficient kitchen appliances, low-flow showerheads, and composting toilets, continue to dominate the new construction horizon. It is unlikely that this trend will ever fade because of the associated decrease in energy costs and the opportunity it provides for homeowners to reduce their carbon footprints.

4. Mudrooms

Mudrooms made a triumphant return in 2018. They provide family members with a convenient place to hang their coats and take off their shoes, so they do not leave items lying around or track dirt and bacteria indoors. Mudrooms also double as laundry facilities.

5. Finished Basements

Finished, waterproof basements provide homeowners with an additional room they can use as they see fit, such as a home gym, game room, or theater. Small kitchenettes within finished basements are another hot trend since they offer extra cooking and storage space.
