Model home- your opinions please


I grew up going through model homes to get decorating ideas. The last one I went in this summer featured every single room in a version of red and brown, which got old kinda quick! As a decorator I seem to have more opinions than I used to and now I'd like to know yours!

Today I went to two Ryland Homes townhouse models priced in the $300's.  Model # 1 had the colors navy, teal, gray and white. (Please excuse the iphone pictures!)

 First floor entry and family room:


2nd floor Kitchen/Living room/Dining Room combination:





Third floor Master Bedroom, bath and boy's room:




The trends I'm spotting are:

  • dark floors, layered with area rugs and bold flat weaves
  • dark painted ceilings
  • 2 tone kitchens; white island, black cabinets with quartzite counters
  • contemporary art
  • striped wall treatments,rugs,drapes and bedding.
  • wood plank wall feature
  • themed bedrooms for kids
  • chrome and silver accents

Tell me what pros and cons you see in this model?  Tomorrow I'll feature a 2nd townhouse.
