A proposito di questo titolo

In Part Two of our Something Old, Something New series, we turn our attention to new construction and explore how to design a brand-new home that still feels timeless, layered, and full of character. Meghan and Krissa unpack the realities of building from the ground up, where possibility is endless, but thoughtful decision-making is essential.

This episode dives into how to avoid overly trendy design choices, why proportion and architectural detail matter more than ever in new builds, and how early planning sets the tone for the entire home. From layout and ceiling heights to lighting, materials, and flow, Meghan and Krissa share insights on what truly makes a new house feel enduring rather than momentary.

Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to balance innovation with restraint, collaborate effectively with builders and architects, and design spaces that feel warm, intentional, and livable proof that “new” and “classic” can coexist beautifully.

Key Takeaways:
  • Classic design starts at the foundation
    Timeless homes are shaped by strong planning, thoughtful architecture, and intentional early decisions.
  • Trends should be edited, not adopted wholesale
    Not every new feature is worth building in—longevity should always guide choices.
  • Proportion and scale matter more than finishes
    Ceiling height, window placement, and room balance often define the success of a new build.
  • A blank slate requires clarity
    Without a clear design vision, new construction can feel disjointed or overly busy.
  • Collaboration is critical
    Alignment between designer, architect, builder, and homeowner ensures cohesion and avoids regret.
  • Warmth is what makes a house feel like home
    Layered materials, thoughtful details, and personal touches prevent new builds from feeling sterile.
  • Design for how you live
    The most successful new homes reflect real life—not just what’s currently trending.
