Today, they know what they want before they look at a home. In response to the needs of these buyers, Westminster Communities introduced a design center displaying the latest advances in interior and exterior finishes. Design stations include exteriors, baths, kitchens, home systems, and flooring. In addition, design specialists are on staff to assist homebuyers with their selections, notes McGinley. The neutral color trend has strong appeal with new homebuyers, says McGinley.
Buyers go neutral with flooring and paint colors, then enhance the room with accessories.
Some buyers like bold colors, but most go neutral. Nylon pile carpets are popular, as well as Berber looks, sisal and solid carpet with patterned borders. Ceramic tile is used in many creative ways according to McGinley. Buyers invest more money in ceramic tile foyers that run all the way into the kitchen and powder room. We offer about 1,500 varieties of ceramic tile, from traditional to marble looks.
