Houzz offers an easy way to plan your Raleigh new custom home - with seemingly limitless photos to add to your personal "Ideabooks."
Want to know what Houzz users see as the "Perfect House?" We've compiled a list of the most popular Stanton Homes photos (based on the number of "Saves" to IdeaBooks) - below.
New Home Design Ideas:
See the most popular custom home exterior, kitchen, master bathroom, mother in law suite, powder room, mud room, and pet room photos from our Houzz projects:
1. The Perfect Exterior Design:
Homes that combine traditional and craftsman elements continue to rise in popularity. This Raleigh custom home blends traditional white columns with craftsman style trim and contemporary grey metal roof accents above the garage and sides. Each eave and peak is carefully balanced in this design so that no matter what angle the home is viewed from, the eye tracks the angles and curves.
The portico entrance opens to a vault, with a dark stained wood door and lots of glass for natural light.
2. The Perfect Kitchen Design:
White, grey, and black kitchens continue to top home trend charts.
Not all new home kitchens are scaling up in size. Many kitchen floor plans, like this popular Houzz kitchen photo, center on efficient layouts that offer ample storage and counter space without breaking the bank.
3. The Perfect Master Bath Design:
Master bathrooms with only a shower - and no tub - are also a common request for Raleigh new homes.
This two person shower features separate his and hers shower heads, open concept glass panels, and a roll-in (wheelchair accessible) threshold.
4. The Perfect Great Room Design:
While the jury is still out on two versus one story great rooms, this great room photo boasts the most Ideabook "Saves."
This two story great room includes two window rows, dark hardwood flooring, light grey paint, a tall built-in bookcase, full-height white wainscoting above the fireplace, walls sconces, and a wrap-around walkway to the sun room. To top it off, the fireplace is see-through.
5. The Perfect "Mother in Law Suite" Design:
Mother in law homes, that is, homes designed with a private living area for long term guests or extended family, are difficult to find in existing home markets - making them a top request in custom new home construction.
This MIL suite takes the cake for one of our most-saved photos on Houzz. This floor plan - a version of the Maple Lane - includes a mother in law bedroom with private bathroom and sitting room with French door entry (and faux transom windows above). The sitting room has private access to outdoor living.
6. The Perfect Powder Room Design:
Metallic accents have grown in popularity, often used to off-set white, black, grey, and even golden brown rooms. This powder room design - a simple yet elegant design with painted wainscoting, framed mirror, and pedestal sink - is hugely popular on Houzz - even compared to Stanton Homes powder rooms with more complex (and expensive) layouts and design selections.
7. The Perfect Mud Room Design:
With the recent trend towards incorporating indoor-outdoor space comes a need for convenient mud room amenities.
This mud room - our most popular on Houzz - features two closets, a built in bench with storage cubbies, and upper cabinets, sink, and countertop (on the other wall). The coat hooks spell "FAMILY."
8. The Perfect Place for Pets:
Want to know where homebuyers would love to splurge in their next home? This pet room features a large dog shower and tucked-in dog house. These pet room accommodations are located under the staircase - designed to take advantage of otherwise unused square footage inside the combination mud room / laundry room.
