It can sometimes feel like you’re watching a movie on repeat when researching design options.  There are so many similar patterns and pieces these days that when you’ve seen a few, you’ve seen them all.  But there is hope in the world of creative home and design, and this article will discuss a few of the latest ideas to help inspire your design project.

With new zebra stripe floor tiles from Porcelanosa you bring a piece of the exotic right to your home.  The Tavola Zebrano floor tile gives the look of a hardwood zebra stripe, made out of porcelain with a matte finish.  They come in multiple shapes and sizes to fit various needs.

Water walls have become a popular addition to many homes recently, as they offer homeowners a calm and serene atmosphere.  The latest in H2O Walls, Inc. designs features a water spillover that can be custom designed to free-fall over river rocks from a starting point of your choosing.  These walls are controlled by touch-screen computer programs, and can even feature special lighting to adjust, depending on your mood.

Fans of the natural look and feel of birch wood will be happy to discover new cabinet designs by Cabinets to Go, located in Virginia.  These cabinets are being praised for the detailed handwork that goes into their center panels, which can include custom features.  These cabinet sets also feature dovetailed joints, mitered frames, and pillow-top door frames.  The birch can be treated with a dark enhancer to give it a rich look, highlighting the quality of the wood and giving it a classic sheen.

Those who are looking to shy away from the natural might enjoy the more electric look of the new Bionic collection, produced and distributed by Nemo Tile.  These pieces are composed entirely of porcelain, and feature a metallic shine that can add a gleam of integrity to any room.

The last pieces spotlighted here are in the Sonoma Forge CIXX Collection, specially designed for bathroom and shower design.  These pieces, primarily faucets and water temperature handles, feature a unique texture and color, giving it the feel of an ancient Greek palace. This collection is also reminiscent of a blacksmith’s tools, giving it a rustic and traditional feel.  Hammer marks are even part of the pattern to represent the forging process.

Starting a home design project should be a fun and exciting venture, not something that gets boring and stressful.  These various new designs are meant to motivate and inspire, no matter your personal tastes.  See how your custom builder in Houston can incorporate some of these exciting new ideas into your home design.
