Could Don Draper help Charlotte real estate? As much stress as I put on economic figures, I still appreciate that the real appeal of Charlotte real estate is the character, design, and yes – fun that a home conveys. Charlotte communities are distinguished by a wide range of pricing and tastes, from neat starter homes, to elegant mansions; from traditional Southern estate homes, and to funky arts and crafts homes. Houses are pretty much the same thing, with foundations, load-bearing beams, and roofs. It’s the individual customization that makes a house a home. Check out this article on the newest trends in home design from Realty Times. Kitchens, says the article, are the focal point of family life and entertaining, so it’s no surprise a lot of inspired effort is going to make the kitchen not just functional, but reflective of the owners’ personality. The vibrant, the individual, and the eclectic are in; high maintenance and same-old same-old are out. So high-cost granite countertops are passé, and sun-kissed wooden furniture is in – and by “in,” I don’t just mean trendy, but inside, where the warmth wood tables, chairs, and even recycled wall coverings can be enjoyed inside the house. I love it! And yes, Don Draper’s influence can be seen in the latest home decorating trends as well, as 60s-inspired bric-a-brac such as portable bars and beverage carts, and crystal, gold-rimmed glasses, and serving trays are hot entertaining necessities once again. And I can tell you, after years of working in Charlotte real estate, how many folks love their pink flamingo yard art. In some neighborhoods, it’s like the 60s and 70s never ended. One word of caution: The new popularity of brightly colored decorating items makes cool, neutral walls and floors more important than ever. Don’t forget that when you’re redecorating for yourself or for potential homebuyers.
