Do You Need A Change?

There are so many emerging trends in the building industry today. A lot of those trends come from past architectural designs that are taken and modernized to give it a new face. One of the most popular trends we have seen emerge in Chattanooga is the Craftsman 'style' home. Architects and builders alike have incorporated exterior and interior details in the classic 1920's style photos you see below and turned them into modern, up-to-date beauties.

 

Exterior Transformation Throughout The Years

So many of the same elements exist when you look at the classic 1920's era style houses and compare them to today's style. Add a garage and you instantly have an update.









 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Interior Design

Those craftsman homes were well known for trim work, built in cabinetry, and gorgeous hardwoods. All of these elements can be incorporated into your home (old or new) to instantly give it a warm, inviting craftsman feel.

Want This Craftsman Style?

Trim and paint alone can completely change the look of a room and are also two of the most cost effective ways to get the most bang for your buck - especially if you want to incorporate a craftsman style! However, choosing the right paint color and knowing the correct way to install and paint trim are imperative. When in doubt, always hire a professional. Not only will your product come out far superior but it's not nearly as expensive as you might think!
