    Our design and construction professionals at Country Club Homes understand that not all trends work in a traditional home. However, these three trends can make a traditional home more functional and more luxurious:

    • Luxury Bathroom Amenities: Wall-hung floating vanities, jetted showers, and deep soaking tubs are all on-trend in the bathroom. Each of these amenities works well with a traditional design style.
    • Dedicated Laundry Rooms: The days of a small, utilitarian laundry room may be over! Homeowners are now seeking dedicated laundry rooms with plenty of storage, room to fold and sort, and a design style aligned with the rest of the home.
