The pro-and cons of Model homes...


There are some things that designers do in model homes that just seem to set these homes apart from our own. Sometimes it is really hard to pinpoint what that is.



  • Could it be the ribbons or other items that tied around the towels on the rack?

  • Could it be that the wicks on the candles have been lit once so the home looks lived in?

  • Could it be the fact that usually a designer picks someone from their office and uses pictures of the family to spread throughout the home?

  • Could it be that a lot of items have been custom made for the place?

  • Could it be the up lighting or the accent lights on the artwork?

  • Could it be the scent piped through the vents?

  • Could it be the area rugs delineating the spaces?

  • Could it be the plants, the live ones, placed throughout the house?

  • Could it be the specialty paint they used?

    Walking through models is a good way to see some new ideas and to see
    how things that work are replicated in almost every model home. Sometimes the ideas are stale like the glass jar with pasta poured in it, but sometimes you might find some new and innovative idea to try in your own home.

Keep these things in mind when choosing a kitchen. Many people come in with pictures or ideas they have seen in a model or a magazine, but that do not fit their lifestyle, budget or decor. Looking at what works in a model house is nice, but will you really be able to live in a house with tied towels?
