Stay Ahead with These Modular Home Design Trends 

The latest in modular home design 

At Champion® Homes, we’re passionate about quality home design.  In this article, we delve into the hottest trends in modular home design, covering exteriors, floorplans, and kitchens. 

Exterior 

First impressions matter, and that’s why the exterior of any home is crucial. Current modular home design trends focus on unique, sustainable, and functional exteriors. If you’re tired of renting but need better options? The progressive design options of modular housing are definitely calling your name. Or you might be a developer looking for the next big thing and wanting to stay ahead of the crowd. Lucky for you, the latest in modular home design trends include cutting edge exteriors with immense curb appeal.  

Take the Boulder 44659 for example. The asymmetrical roof with complimentary textures and materials create a unique exterior guaranteed to start a buzz in the neighborhood. “Who built that home? I love the curb appeal!” “Oh, that? Well it’s a Champion Home, of course!” 

Floorplans 

Your home’s floorplan significantly influences its functionality and aesthetic appeal. That’s why at Champion® Homes, we offer a plethora of floorplan options to suit your needs. Whether you’re a young professional seeking your first home or a seasoned homeowner looking for an upgrade, we’ve got something for you. 

Open concept floorplans are a hot trend right now. They create a seamless flow within the home, perfect for those who love to entertain or value a spacious living environment. We offer a range of modular homes that can cater to your specific needs, be it a kitchen opening up to the living room or a combined dining and living area. 

We also value space efficiency. Our expert designers work diligently to optimize every square foot of our modular homes. From intelligent storage solutions to efficient room layouts, our floorplans ensure that you have a comfortable and functional home.

Kitchens 

Modular kitchens are innovating the standards of a functional and stylish home. If you’re looking for something that matches the beautiful kitchen you see on TikTok, this section is for you. 

Modular kitchen designs have evolved significantly over the years. Open-concept layouts are a popular choice, promoting social interaction and creating a sense of spaciousness. Standout backsplashes are also very popular. Additionally, the integration of smart appliances and technology is gaining momentum. Imagine being able to control and automate your home using touchscreen panels and a mobile app. 

When it comes to trending fixtures and decor, folks love matte black, stainless steel, jewel tones and metallic finishes.  

At Champion Homes, we’re committed to staying current with modular home design trends. If you’re ready to find the home for you today, start by finding a retailer near where you’d like to build.

The Cost of Building a Home in New York 

And which options will leave your pocketbook coming out on top! 

When it comes to building a home in New York state, understanding the costs involved is crucial. The average cost of a new construction home in New York can vary depending on various factors such as:  

  • Location 
  • Size 
  • Materials 
  • Labor cost  
  • Design preferences  

Other factors include materials used, labor costs, permits and fees, location-specific regulations, land acquisition costs, architectural design complexity, and additional features or upgrades. 

In bustling cities like New York City (NYC) or Buffalo NY, where land is limited and demand is high, the cost of new construction homes tend to be skyscraper-high (pun intended). Homes in upstate New York, in comparison, tend to be more affordable. 

READ our MOST popular blog of all time: The Cost of a Manufactured Home 

When it comes to the cost of building a home in New York state, affordability is often a major concern for potential homeowners. At Champion® Homes, we understand the importance of providing affordable housing options without compromising on quality. That’s why we offer factory-built homes out of our Sangerfield, NY factory, serving the surrounding areas. 

Manufactured and modular homes are revolutionizing the housing market by offering a more cost-effective alternative to traditional site-built homes. With our factory-built homes, you can enjoy all the benefits of homeownership at a fraction of the cost. 

One of the key advantages of choosing a manufactured home from Champion Homes is affordability. Compared to site-built homes in New York state, our manufactured homes can be significantly more affordable. This means you can achieve your dream of homeownership without breaking the bank. However, it’s important to remember that our manufactured homes can’t be built in all locations. Land will need to be zoned appropriately. Learn more about that here! 

In addition to affordability, our manufactured homes also boast modern features and amenities that rival those found in traditional homes. From spacious living areas to stylish kitchens, our factory-built homes are designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. 

So if you’re looking for an affordable home in New York state, consider the cost savings and quality offered by Champion Homes’ factory-built options. Experience the joy of homeownership without compromising on your budget or sacrificing modern comforts.

Choices You Make When Building a Champion® Home 

What Comes With, and What Doesn’t 

At Champion Homes, we understand that your home is not just a roof over your head, but a reflection of your unique personality and style. That’s why we offer various options to personalize your home to meet your specific needs and preferences. 

the Davenport

Choice #1: Finding Your Retailer 

One of the first choices you’ll have to make is selecting a retailer to work with. We want to make this process as easy as possible for you, so we’ve made a dedicated page just for helping you find and select the best retailer for you. All you have to do is type the information of the location you’re looking to build in, and you’ll receive a list of all the retailers near you! 

Choice #2: Time To Pick Your Floor Plan 

The next crucial decision is selecting the perfect floor plan. We offer a wide range of plans, each with its own unique layout options to choose from. Check out our blog on choosing the right manufactured home floor plan for tips and insights on how to pick the ideal floor plan in your area and for your lifestyle. 

Choice #3: Personalize with Upgrades 

We also offer various upgrades that are not included in the base price but can be easily added on to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your home. For instance, our Ultimate Kitchen 3 package, also known as UK3, can transform your kitchen into a chef’s paradise. In addition, our smart home technology, Champion Homes Connect TM , allows you to automate and control various aspects of your home with ease. Other upgrades include fireplaces, entertainment centers, and exterior treatments like dormers and upgraded siding. 

Choice #4: Get Snazzy with Décor Options 

Now that you’ve chosen your floor plan, it’s time to dive into the fun stuff – décor and options! From flooring and cabinet colors to countertops and lighting fixtures, we offer a variety of choices to help you create your dream home. Our décor options vary depending on your location, but we always ensure that you have the freedom to choose the style of your home from our available options. These may include: 

  • Flooring  
  • Cabinet color and style  
  • Countertops  
  • Interior Wall Finish   
  • Exterior Colors 
  • Tile  
  • Lighting fixtures  
  • Sinks, tubs and showers  
  • Whirlpool Kitchen Appliances  

Choice #5: Add-Ons from Third Parties 

It’s important to note the features, add-ons and upgrades that aren’t included with your purchase of a Champion Home. These include: 

  • Porches & Decks. These exterior features can greatly enhance the curb appeal of your home and provide additional outdoor living space, but you’ll have to find and work with your own separate contractor if you want them.  
  • Washer & Dryer. While our homes are equipped with hookups for these appliances, we do not provide either. This gives you the freedom to choose the make and model that best suits your needs and budget! 
  • Landscaping. Finishing with details like gardens and other artistic or lifestyle add-ons is a conversation to have with your general contractor.  
  • Garages, Carports, Driveways, Sidewalks. Learn more about garages in the blog HERE! 

Read the blog all about dormers, decks and porches HERE! 

Remember to keep circling back to the retailer that you selected to keep them informed on any add-ons from third parties. Plus, your retailer can help guide you through the process. 

At Champion Homes, we take pride in offering you the freedom and flexibility to personalize your home to match your unique style and preferences. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you build the home of your dreams!

Ways to Decorate Your Champion Home this Christmas Season

These festive suggestions will take you into the New Year! 

The holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about how to make your Champion Home feel festive and cozy. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another holiday, there are plenty of ways to add some cheer to your manufactured or modular home. 

One of the easiest ways to decorate for the holidays is to incorporate traditional colors like red and green, or blue and silver if you celebrate Hanukkah. A simple wreath on the front door or some garland draped around the porch can make a big impact. Add a few twinkling lights, and you’ll have a warm and inviting home that’s sure to impress your guests. 

For those who want to take their decorating to the next level, consider adding some holiday-themed pillows and throws to your living room. You can also add some festive centerpieces to your dining table or coffee table. If you’re feeling crafty, try making your own decorations like paper snowflakes or ornaments for your tree. 

But why stop at Christmas? Keep the festive spirit alive by incorporating decorations that can take you through the New Year. Gold and silver accents are perfect for this and can easily be incorporated into your existing décor. Metallic candle holders, picture frames, and table runners are just a few ideas. 

At Champion Homes, we believe that the holiday season is all about celebrating with your loved ones. So, whether you’re snuggled up on the couch watching a movie with your family or hosting a big holiday party with all your friends, we hope that your home is filled with love and joy. 

If you’re looking for a new home to celebrate the holidays in, be sure to visit the Champion Homes website to find a home near you. From all of us at Champion Homes, we wish you Happy Holidays! May your home be filled with the magic of Santa, the beauty of reindeer and sleighs, and the warmth of celebrating with those you cherish.
