The Grande View

This award-winning modular home has many features to write about! The Grande View is exceptional when it comes high quality standard features. The model is three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and is just over 3,000 square feet. The home was designed for a Cape Cod style and can be set on a crawl space or a basement.

Let’s start in this modern white kitchen! The appliances are built-in stainless steel and this really elevates the value for space and also the appeal. The kitchen is usually the heart of the home and it lives up to the expectations for this model as well. There is floor to ceiling cupboards and storage in the island. The island is quartz but gives a marble look for a luxury at an affordable price. The island breaks up the black and white with a strong charcoal gray that adds a pop throughout. We like to think Chip and Joanna would give this kitchen a 10/10.

Next, we move into the beautiful living room. There is a built-in entertainment center with shelves that rise to the ceiling. An electric fireplace which is both energy efficient and timeless. This space is large enough where you can place a desk near the large windows for the perfect work from home station or study space.

The primary suite is full of amazing features. It has over 400 square feet of pure bliss! There are large windows and a door that allows for natural light to fill in and tray ceilings to elevate the primary bedroom. This room is an ensuite to the primary bath that has a large walk-in closet, dual vanity with framed mirrors, and a beautiful shower.

Other great details in this home continue in the laundry room. The floor is a mosaic tile for an accent look, a laundry tub, and overhead storage. Storage continues from the living room to the laundry room for maximizing the space and modern appeal. Moving up the stairs, there is additional space for a den, loft space, or more storage.

As you can see, this home is nothing short of excellent. It was recently awarded the BSC Jerry Rouleau Awards for Home Design. This home was built out of our manufacturing center in Liverpool, PA and is available in the surrounding areas.

Designing a Kitchen That Screams YOU!

When it comes to the heart of the home, here’s how to nail it on the décor! 

Each part of a home serves a purpose of its own. The bedrooms are where you lay your head after an eventful day to get some rest for the days ahead. The family room is pretty self-explanatory; and does its job well when it comes to providing space for quality family time. Then there’s the kitchen. It’s been called the “heart” of the home for as long as we can remember, and for good reason! The kitchen is where nourishing meals are prepared, bonds are strengthened over breaking bread, last minute the-bus-comes-in-5-minutes waffles are devoured and so much more.  

That’s why the interior design of the kitchen is so important to so many existing and prospective homeowners alike. If you’re trying to figure out how to infuse a bit of yourself in your kitchen design, keep reading!  

The dark tones in the Odyssey Kitchen perfectly complement the cool-toned appliances. 

START WITH…

You’ll want to begin perfecting your kitchen design by taking the whole home into account. Think about how each room in the home is connected to the others. We’ve spoken in other blogs about the “flow” of a home, and that flow should definitely be considered when you want to design a kitchen that won’t stick out like a sore thumb, but still has a vibe of its own.  

Will the kitchen be traditional like the rest of the home with unique pops of color to stand out? 

Will the kitchen take on a nautical feel like your bathroom? 

Will the kitchen employ neutrals like the bedroom, but feature some brass details to emphasize the appliances? 

These are all the types of questions you want to start asking yourself when thinking of designing your kitchen.  

Carved arches and an expansive island in the Cypress Manor 5644A Kitchen make it a truly standout part of this home.

THEN YOU… 

Mix a little bit of reality with your dreams. You want to think about the layout of the kitchen and surrounding space, but you also want to think about key elements you’ve just GOTTA HAVE.  

Maybe the kitchen is separate from other rooms in the house, and you must take that into account with the big monstera plants you want in the room. Or maybe it’s an open flow layout where the kitchen naturally leads to the family room or living room, and you’ve got to think about where you’ll be aesthetically placing things. 

Maybe you want to make the backsplash the focal point of the room. If it’s an open plan home, you’ll want to make sure the design doesn’t clash with the surrounding rooms/spaces.  

Do you NEED to have a farmhouse sink? Do you really want your cabinets to be white? Really think about your feature priorities and try to balance those with the space and layout you’re working with.

The Light Choice

Choosing the right lighting for your home

It’s time to shed light on something important in the realm of home design: lighting! Choosing lighting fixtures for your home can really make a difference. In this blog, we’ll discuss some of the details and thought processes that will help you make the best decision for your home, room by room.  

Finishes are key. 

 The material used in a lighting fixture can add a special touch to a room and should be considered when thinking of your overall design. When it comes to choosing a finish, you want to let current trends guide you but not anchor you, so that you won’t bring in a finish that’s going to date the product.  

These days, you see a lot of mixed finishes. This helps because if one fades, the other will keep it from being considered outdated. Brushed nickels, matte blacks, lots of gold (champagne for example) — those are metal finishes. You’re seeing a lot of wicker, tan, basket weaving textures paired with metals. As for textures, cane is very popular. Terrazzo, which used to be huge in flooring in the 60s/70s, is now making a name for itself again in lighting.  

Paint and application are huge because you can have one material, but it can look something totally different. People are really exploring new approaches to classic touches, which means lots of mixing. 

Go big AND go home.  

The size of lighting has changed over the years, and larger than life lights are more popular than ever as lighting becomes more and more of a talking point in a home. “Oh, I LOVE these lights over your island” has become much more common of a conversation. At Champion® Homes, we are always trying to find the best in lighting with our customers’ best interests in mind, that includes both style and affordability. 

Lighting is important now because it’s so much easier to change the lighting out instead of trying to change the structure of your home. If you select something that allows for flexibility, and allows you to be eclectic, that decision will allow you to make changes down the road more easily.
