The Rally Against Builder Basic: Redefining Home Design

Breaking Free from Builder BasiC: REDEFINING HOME DESIGN

AUGUST 9, 2023

Why have builder basic, when you can have a space that is custom-built and uniquely yours?

That’s what our team set out to do when we developed and build our first ever luxury spec home at 1760 Washington in Wilmette, Illinois (featured in Modern Luxury Magazine).

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

At Inspired Interiors, we are passionate about pushing the boundaries of traditional design and creating spaces that are forward thinking in both aesthetics and functionality. 1760 Washington was meticulously crafted as a statement against boring builder basic homes—and the results speak for themselves.

CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO

When you compare the difference between builder basic elements vs. the power of using an experienced interior design and architecture firm, you’ll be able to see the contrast for yourself!

1. Staircases: Instead of settling for a standard, straight staircase, why not consider a sweeping, curved design that adds elegance and grandeur to your home? Embrace unique materials, intricate railings, and artful detailing to make your staircase a conversation piece.

2. Bathrooms: We are tired of mundane bathrooms and instead create spa-like retreats so our clients feel like they’re on vacation everyday. By incorporating innovative fixtures, visually-interesting tile patterns, and luxurious accents your bathroom is transformed into a personal oasis, exactly how you dreamed it to be.

3. Kitchen Cabinets: Rather than the typical white, cookie-cutter cabinets, our designs opt for custom build cabinetry that incorporates features that make your kitchen function for you. We love to mix and match materials (like these metal-work cabinet doors!) that elevate the look of your luxury kitchen space.

4. Exterior Colors: Sure you can use white for your home and it will look love, but what if you instead explored bold, eye-catching exterior colors? Make a statement with your home's facade and let it reflect your personality and flair.

5. Party Garage: We’re a big fan of taking traditional spaces— like the utilitarian garage— re-envisioning it as entertainment space that leverages every square inch of your home. What if your garage could also be leveraged as party space, complete with a bar, lounge area, and gaming zone? The ultimate spot for hosting memorable gatherings!

EMBRACE CHANGE

For some, change is daunting, but for our team we say game on! When you work with a design team that understands your personality and how you would like to function in your space, embracing uniqueness allows you to live in a space that invigorates your senses and inspires you daily.
