Tropical, Coastal Touches

With its beautiful beaches and warm weather, coastal elements bring out the well-known staple of Florida home design. Pops of colors that match the natural shades of the ocean, sand, sky, and island vegetation will always be a win in Florida decor. You can also incorporate textures that provide a tropical feel. Start with natural materials like driftwood, bamboo, hemp, or seashells. To keep a nice balance, use clean, light fabrics like cotton and linen. A combination of these elements will leave your living spaces adorned with the perfect coastal aesthetic.

Neutral Palettes

Like natural materials, neutral palettes are a design trend that’s here to stay. It’s an easy way to create a blank canvas for accents or to provide a calm, cool sophistication to a space. Neutral tones like beige, creams, grays, and whites give a room a nice spacious feel where you can be comfortable and enjoy a modern design. Then, you can add natural materials to bring together the earthy tones. Consider popular options like wood and stone to add a rustic feel. The best part about this trend is its ability to go with everything and that it aligns beautifully with Southwest Florida’s beachy backdrop.

Unique Patterns and Shapes

Inspiration from design ideas of the past can be a hit or miss when it comes to designing your home. Things like floral prints, geometric shapes, and lines from the 50s to 70s keep coming back in modern ways. Using floral prints sparingly can give your home’s design a touch of whimsy and bring high energy to a room. Fun, unique geometric shapes and patterns are popular designs that can be showcased in many ways, whether on throw pillows, curtains, or rugs. Like geometric shapes, lines and curves add a bit of interest to a space by creating a sense of movement. This can be achieved by choosing furniture and decor with unique shapes and curves to offset the edges of the room. It’s a dynamic design combination that can make for a sleek, modern look.

Accents Galore

From wallpaper and curtains to mirrors and built-ins, there are several ways to add accents to your interior design in Florida. An accent is essentially adding character to a space by creating contrast. This can be done with colors, textures, and interesting decor. Wallpaper on one wall and kitchen backsplashes can be a fun way to give a room a lively personality. Use a highly decorative mirror, create a bookshelf with a collection of unique art and sculptures, or paint an artistic mural on one wall in a specific room, there are many ways to amp up the design in your home.

Minimalism

Minimalism celebrates simplicity, clean lines, and a monochromatic palette. Often the walls are a bit more bare with minimal use of accents. This is one of those home design trends that fits a particular style and personality. It embraces abundant sunlight and uncluttered space. You’ll find things like sheer curtains or blinds and many mirrors and glass elements to reflect light as well as create an illusion of spaciousness. This design style starts with neutral colors with calming accents. Simplicity and functionality overrule aesthetics here.

In Florida and throughout the country, PGT Impact Windows are the gold standard when it comes to storm protection. Here at Medallion Home, we initially offered these premium windows as an upgrade because of the investment but they provide so much benefit to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner that we've decided to make them our standard in every home we build. What Are Impact Windows? Impact windows combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant, laminated glass and a special silicone glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. That means that during storms and hurricanes, if flying debris hits your windows, they will stay intact rather than shatter, protecting your home from the elements and people and pets from shards of glass. But these windows can do even more. Noise Reduction Your home should be your sanctuary, one where you leave the outside world at the door and that includes noise. Noise pollution is a very real thing and can disrupt your sleep at night, focus during work, or even a good movie night. PGT's impact windows reduce noise from outside by as much as 65%. UV Protection The sun's UV rays are good in small doses to help your body create essential Vitamin D, but there's really no good reason to have them flooding the interior of your home. These powerful rays can fade your furniture, flooring, and drapes, making these items look old and worn before their time. Impact windows can preserve the beauty of your home and help you save money by filtering out 99% of UV rays while still allowing in natural sunlight. Maximum Energy Savings Heating and cooling a home accounts for nearly half of the average American home's energy costs. Security About 23% of all home break-ins are accessed through a first-floor window. Impact windows are designed to withstand repeated impact from a 9-lb, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 miles per hour. It's very, very hard to break an Impact Window (if it can be done at all). It's not the kind of challenge most burglars want to face. Return on Investment For all the reasons above, particularly in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes are a way of life, impact windows are appealing in any home. These specialty windows can yield as much as an 80% return on investment, ensuring that you'll get top dollar should you ever need to sell your home. Now Standard in All Medallion Homes High quality, impact-resistant windows shouldn't be luxuries - they should be standard features. That's why we now include them in every new home we build. Enjoy the benefits of increased storm protection, noise reduction, UV protection, savings, and security every day. Contact us to learn more.

At Medallion Home, we take great pride in creating homes that are well-built, comfortable, and beautiful . With that as a starting point, it's no wonder that for our homeowners, one of the best parts of owning a Medallion home is the opportunity to decorate and add their own personal style. Here are some expert tips for decorating your luxury Medallion home with just the right paint colors. Choosing the Right Home Interior Paint Colors Paint is an easy way to add elegance and sophistication while reflecting your style and your home's innate splendor. Our professional design team carefully chooses paint colors for all our move-in ready homes. They can also work directly with you to help choose a color that works best for your style. If you follow the same guidelines that the professionals use, you'll be able to find luxury paint colors that make your new Medallion home shine. Get Inspired Look through magazines and design sites for stimulation or take inspiration from your favorite pieces of art. Consider your existing furniture and accessories. Having an idea of what appeals to you is a good place to start. Create a mood board with pieces of each design element - a tile or wood sample, a pillow, statement accessories - and choose a paint color that pulls the whole room together. Know Your Colors & Hues It seems obvious but choosing colors you like for your interiors is a sound basis for a decorating plan. Experiment with lighter or darker shades of your favorite colors. Colors look different in gradient hues. Use color Theory to see how colors relate to each other. Instead of looking for a perfect match, go for a complementary tone. Remember: it's all about balance.
