Somewhere Between Mountain and Modern
Posted on October 06, 2008
As the housing inventory rises and you begin searching for that next great deal in a Steamboat mountain home for sale, don't forget about design...not only for resale but for your own enjoyment.
If you're into clean lines and a minimalist approach to architectural and interior design, there's a handful of homes for sale that many can appreciate. But the key is finding the perfect blend of your mountain lifestyle with a modern flair.
Local Steamboat Magazine published an article that featured some modern points to think of when we look at contemporary design:
• Eco-friendly materials
• Less wood distress and heavy finishes
• No raised cabinet panels
• Artistic statements with cabinetry
• More open interior spaces
• Fewer high cabinets
• Warm plaster walls
• No high shine in materials
• Less/no trim; no crown molding
• Don't ignore color
• Open planes for great art pieces
• Undermount sinks with solid surfaces ...
