Out with the antler chandelier...In with the avante garde pendants!
For those looking for their typical Colorado-designed getaway, Steamboat's got all the mountain and lodge decor you can find. But if you're into design, a kind that doesn't resemble anything from the Great Outdoors, there are plenty of properties featuring a cutting edge in home design.
Remember: clean lines, less clutter, minimalist style
Here are some modern points to consider when looking for a contemporary home:
- Eco-friendly materials
- Less wood distress and heavy finishes
- No raised cabinet panels
- Make artistic statements with cabinetry
- Make spaces more open
- Fewer high cabinets
- Warm plaster walls
- No high shine in materials
- Less/no trim; no crown molding
- Don't ignore color
- Create planes for great art pieces
- Undermount sinks with solid surfaces
- Consistent edges
- Surfaces that don't jump out at you.
- Bury wires in the wall
