EXTERIOR CUSTOM HOME TRENDS

AT MK CONSTRUCTION, WE BELIEVE OUTDOOR HOME DESIGN IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE INTERIOR DESIGN. HERE’S A LIST OF EXTERIOR CUSTOM HOME TRENDS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF:

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES

IN THE HEART OF A BUSTLING CITY, AMIDST SKYSCRAPERS AND BUSY STREETS, A HIDDEN OASIS COULD BE WHAT YOU NEED. IMAGINE AN OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE WITH TABLES, COUCHES, A FIREPLACE, A KITCHEN, A FULL BAR AREA, A TELEVISION TO WATCH, AND SO MUCH MORE.

DECORATIVE SPACES

FROM DECORATIVE TILES AND STAMPED CONCRETE TO STONE AND PAVER WALKWAYS, BRING LIFE TO YOUR OUTDOOR DESIGN. A LIGHT COLOR STONE ACCENT WALL OR AREA CAN BRING A UNIQUE TEXTURE TO YOUR HOME’S EXTERIOR.

SWIMMING POOLS AND SPAS

DESIGN YOUR PERFECT SWIMMING POOL FOR YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE. WITH VARIOUS CUSTOM SHAPES, COLORS, AND LIGHTING EFFECTS, YOUR DREAM POOL IS WITHIN REACH. WANT TO TAKE YOUR POOL UP A NOTCH? ADD LOUNGE CHAIRS, TABLES, AND OUTDOOR SPEAKERS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. ALSO, PLAN FOR AN OUTDOOR SPA TO GO ALONG WITH THE SWIMMING POOL TO COMPLETE YOUR DESIGN.

ADDITIONAL ACCENTS

BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK – ADDING BLACK ACCENTS OR WOOD ACCENTS TO YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE WILL ENHANCE YOUR CUSTOM HOME DESIGN AND ADD TO ITS BEAUTIFUL CURB APPEAL.

UNIQUE LIGHTING FEATURES

OUTDOOR LIGHTING HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY. YOUR CREATIVE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS WITH LIGHT-UP WALKWAYS, TREE LIGHTING, AND COLOR-CHANGING POOL LIGHTS. GET CREATIVE WITH YOUR OUTDOOR LIGHTING THIS SUMMER TO ENHANCE YOUR RELAXATION LEVELS.

WE’D LOVE TO MEET WITH YOU TO DISCUSS IDEAS FOR YOUR NEW CUSTOM HOME!
