In the residential construction, design, and real estate industry,
the Fall season holds more spectacle than just football and Halloween. The Parade of Homes is the see
and be seen of builders and interior decorators, alike. It’s a series of weekends to showcase
expertise to potential home buyers as well as industry peers. Whether you’re in the market to purchase or
just getting ideas for home renovations, it’s the perfect way to gain insight
into building and design trends. I
managed to make my rounds to a handful of parade homes throughout Wake Forest on the final
weekend and spent the afternoon alongside one of my best friends taking plenty
of notes and photos to share.
Sliding “Barn” Doors
Love them or hate them, one thing is for sure, sliding doors are
sticking around for a little while longer.
Some designers opted for a more sophisticated parlor-style finish, in
lieu of French doors, while others maintained modern farmhouse charm with a
more rustic selection.
Painted Trim
A look that transitions between the historical homes lining main
street and moody, modern vibes, painted trim is so hot right now (Zoolander
reference, anyone?). Walking through the parade, this look is making quite a comeback
and it also makes quite a statement.
Bonus points for blacks, greys, and bold hues.
Exposed Box Beams
Whether decorative or functional, exposed beams have returned and
are having a moment. The look of beams
can be anywhere from contemporary to rustic.
No matter your style, they add a striking architectural element and are
sure to make a statement to any room.
Gold, Gold, Gold
This is probably the most polarizing finish of all finishes. From faucets to cabinet pulls to light
fixtures to veins in the tile, silky, satiny gold made an appearance in every
home toured. If you’ve been on the fence,
I say go for it; gold is no longer the shiny element of the 90s.
If you’re like me, you agree that the beauty is in the details and I hope this post leaves you feeling inspired! For more pictures head to my Instagram account @kelskapowski for a full recap of my afternoon on the Parade!
