As we begin a new year, our team is looking forward to all the exciting client projects 2022 will bring! January-March can feel like a long stretch for many Minnesotans; the sky is often gloomy while snow continues to pile up.

We can think of no better way to pass the time during hibernation season than planning house projects. Just think, if you hit the ground running now, our team could possibly be ready to get started on your project the moment the snow melts!

Through trend forecasting and project discussions with our clients, we think lower levels, outdoor spaces, and whole home remodels will be most popular this year. Read on below for our favorite ideas, tips, and design inspiration for each area!

Lower Levels
Whether you’re finishing your basement for the first time or remodeling your current space, lower levels are ideal for tailoring to family life. Because basements are often bonus square footage, many of our clients create completely customized spaces. A few of our favorite client lower level upgrades include game rooms, play areas, golf simulators, home gyms, media rooms, custom bars, home offices, and study spaces.

Outdoor Spaces
There is nothing better than getting back outside after a long winter! Midwesterners know to make the most of beautiful weather because it doesn’t last forever. So many of our clients are adding value to their homes and lifestyles by creating outdoor spaces. From patios to pools to outdoor kitchens to bonfire pits to landscaping, gorgeous outdoor spaces are worth the investment! Ready to learn more? Visit our Custom One Landscaping Page

From the Parade of Homes to the Artisan Tour to a Dream Home to new developments and divisions, we are thankful to have enjoyed another busy year filled with highlights!

Our team would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We also want to say thank you. Thanks to our dear clients for choosing us and our excellent industry partners and colleagues. Lastly, thanks to our team: you are the most talented and incredible people in this business!
