Designing a Home That Inspires: 5 Trends Shaping Interiors Your home should be more than a place to live. It should be a space that inspires creativity, comfort, and connection. As we move into 2026, interior design continues to evolve toward authenticity, sustainability, and personal expression. Here are ﬁve design trends redeﬁning modern living spaces this year. 1. Nature at Home Biophilic design, which connects indoor environments to nature, remains strong. Think natural wood tones, textured stone, and plenty of greenery. A living wall, rattan light fixtures, or linen drapes can instantly soften a space and create a sense of calm.

3. Sustainable Choices Eco-conscious design isn’t just a trend; it’s a lifestyle. Homeowners are choosing reclaimed materials, vintage furnishings, and low-VOC paints. These thoughtful choices tell a story while minimizing environmental impact.

2. Warm Minimalism Sleek and simple doesn’t have to feel cold. Designers are embracing warm minimalism, using neutral color palettes balanced with cozy textures, curved furniture, and layered lighting. The result is a clutterfree home that still feels inviting.

4. Personality-Driven Spaces Cookie-cutter design is out. Expect to see bold accent walls, statement art, and eclectic combinations of old and new. Personal touches such as heirloom pieces or travel finds add depth, warmth, and meaning.

PARADE OF HOMES | 7

5. The Return of “Third Spaces” After years of open-concept layouts, homeowners are carving out intimate “third spaces” such as reading nooks, cocktail corners, and small libraries. These cozy retreats offer a sense of calm and connection amid busy lives.

No matter your style, the best homes reﬂect who you are and how you live. The 2026 Parade of Homes showcases spaces that do just that; each one built to inspire.

We would like to thank all of our 2026 Parade of Homes Sponsors We encourage you to visit these ﬁne companies. PRESENTING SPONSORS

Your Inspired Home Starts Here: A Homeowner’s Checklist for Choosing the Right Builder or Remodeler Building or remodeling your home is one of the most exciting and meaningful investments you can make. The right builder does more than construct walls and rooms. They help bring your vision to life and create a space that feels uniquely yours. Whether you are starting from the ground up or reimagining your current home, this checklist will help you find a trusted professional who inspires confidence and delivers quality results. 1. Define Your Vision Start by identifying your musthaves, nice-to-haves, and overall style. Gather inspiration from magazines, social media, and home tours like the Parade of Homes. A clear vision helps you find a builder who shares your aesthetic and understands your priorities. 2. Do Your Homework Look for builders and remodelers who are members of a professional association such as the Home Builders & Remodelers Association (HBRA). Membership signals a commitment to quality, ethics, and continuing education. 3. Review Portfolios and References Ask to see examples of completed projects that match your design preferences and scope. Reputable builders will gladly share references and encourage you to speak with past clients about communication, timelines, and satisfaction with the finished product.

4. Verify Credentials and Insurance Confirm that your builder is licensed and insured. This protects both you and the builder during construction. Asking for proof of insurance and licensing is a standard and important step. 5. Compare Bids Carefully Price is important, but it should not be the only deciding factor. Look beyond the bottom line to evaluate materials, timelines, and warranties. The lowest bid may not always offer the best long-term value. 6. Prioritize Communication A successful project depends on clear and consistent communication. Choose someone who listens well, explains processes thoroughly, and responds promptly. You will be working closely together, so mutual trust is essential.

7. Get Everything in Writing A detailed contract should outline the project scope, payment schedule, timeline, and warranty information. Clarity at the start prevents costly misunderstandings later. 8. Visit Job Sites If possible, tour an active job site. A well-organized, safe, and clean work area reflects professionalism and pride in craftsmanship. 9. Trust Your Instincts Beyond paperwork and portfolios, choose a builder who makes you feel comfortable and confident. The right partner will bring both inspiration and integrity to the process. 10. Be Inspired When you work with a builder who understands your vision, you are not just building a home. You are creating a space that reflects your lifestyle, your values, and the moments that matter most.
