Design Dish: How We Simplified Your Design Selection Experience

August 7, 2019

One of the most exciting things about building a home is choosing your own design selections. Think of it this way: your new home is a blank canvas! Now’s your chance to personalize the space of your dreams. And when you build with Inspired Homes, we’re with you every step of the way. We approach design selections differently than other builders. Instead of sending you out to several vendors to make selections on your own (while also juggling a busy schedule), we make the process as easy as possible by putting everything in one place. Once your home is purchased and the permits finalized, you’ll make an appointment to spend some time in our Design Center. During your design meeting, Sherry Worth, Inspired Homes’ interior designer, guides you through all of your options, from flooring and paint colors to lighting and plumbing (and much more!) To make the process even easier, we’ve categorized all of our design selections, each of which was hand-selected by our design team. Start with standard options, which include pine trim, luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, subway tile backsplashes, Kohler plumbing fixtures, Schlage hardware, built-in master closet shelving and 8-foot tall kitchen cabinets. From there, explore upgraded selections, which offer additional styles and materials. Examples include quartz countertops, additional appliance selections like a wood or stainless hood, or site-finished hardwood floors. Then, you can further personalize your home by choosing your favorite colors and finishes from our expertly curated palettes. When you make your design selections, you’ll choose options down to the smallest detail, including the size of your trim and whether you want soft-close drawers in the kitchen. If you feel hesitant to commit to a particular design choice at any point during your selection meeting, we’ll be right there to answer questions and offer recommendations. We want this to be a simple, enjoyable experience, and we’ll do whatever we can to deliver on that promise! “When you work with Inspired Homes, you’ll work with a design team that sees the big picture and can help you put all of the pieces together,” Sherry says. “There’s a concierge aspect to our process that helps ensure our clients make informed decisions, even if they have no previous knowledge about a particular product or design selection.” You’ll leave our Design Center with your design selections thoroughly documented and one step closer to your new home! In the coming weeks, we’ll be highlighting more of our design selections here on the blog and on our social media channels. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn — and here on the blog, of course — for an insider’s look at our expertly curated design selections.
