WarmWelcoming & The Current Trend

Combining Design and Comfort

Amy Offerman

In recent years, interior design has shifted toward creating warm and welcoming spaces that offer comfort and style—a sanctuary from the fast-

paced world outside. Homeowners and designers are combining cozy elements with inviting aesthetics to craft environments that feel both personal and universally appealing. In this article, we'll explore the key aspects of this "Warm and Welcoming" trend and how you can incorporate them into your own home.

Warm Color Palettes

The foundation of a cozy space often begins with a warm color palette. Rich hues like deep orange, terracotta, rust, and soft brown create an inviting atmosphere. These earthy tones and muted shades not only provide a sense of warmth but also exude an elegant and sophisticated ambiance.

Natural Materials

Incorporating natural materials is another hallmark of this trend. Wood, stone, and linen add texture and organic warmth to any room. Wooden furniture, stone accents, and woven textiles contribute to a grounded environment that feels both nurturing and stylish.

Layered Textures

Texture is key to making a room feel cozy. By layering different materials—such as plush rugs, soft throws, and chunky knit blankets—you can create a rich tapestry of textures that invites touch and exploration. These layered elements bring depth and dimension, enhancing the overall comfort of the space.

Comfortable Furniture

When it comes to furniture, comfort reigns supreme. Pieces with plush cushions upholstered in luxurious fabrics or featuring rounded shapes contribute to a relaxing vibe. Larger seating arrangements encourage socializing and create a welcoming atmosphere perfect for family and friends.

Warm Lighting

Lighting sets the mood, and in this trend, soft lighting is essential. Table lamps, floor lamps, and string lights with warm-toned bulbs help create a gentle glow that envelops the room in an inviting ambiance. This type of lighting is perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Personal Touches

Adding personal elements, like family photos, art, or cherished collectibles, transforms a house into a home. These personalized decorations inject character and warmth, making the space feel lived-in and uniquely yours.

Natural Elements

Bringing the outside in through plants or fresh flowers adds a vibrant touch to interiors. These natural elements enhance warmth and life, connecting indoor spaces with the beauty of the outdoors.

Layered Rugs

Layering rugs on floors is a design trick that adds visual interest and ensures comfort underfoot. This technique creates a dynamic and inviting environment, encouraging relaxation and leisure.

Cozy Nooks

Designating a corner or alcove as a cozy nook is a wonderful way to incorporate a personal retreat within your home. A comfortable chair, a good book, and a warm blanket combine to create a peaceful haven for relaxation and contemplation.

Scent and Sound

While sight is crucial in design, scent and sound play significant roles in creating an inviting atmosphere. Pleasant scents from candles or essential oils, paired with soothing sounds like soft music or water features, deepen the sense of warmth and serenity in your space.

By integrating these elements, you can craft interiors that not only look beautiful but also offer a warm, inviting experience for all who enter. Whether you're a homeowner seeking to enhance your living space or an interior designer looking for inspiration, these trends provide a pathway to creating environments that are genuinely comforting and stylish.

The Crucial Role of Our Purchasing Team

Larissa Olander & John Mettler

Unveiling the Role of Our Purchasing Team

While most people may assume the purchasing team solely sources materials, their role extends far beyond that. They collaborate closely with the operations department to ensure that all necessary resources are in place before a home is sold, enabling effective and efficient construction.

The team is responsible not only for procuring materials but also for identifying subcontractors to carry out sitework. They maintain constant communication with designers and the production team in the field to coordinate efforts and ensure nothing is overlooked. Additionally, they work behind the scenes to enhance internal processes and optimize the use of tools and technology, recognizing that advancements in these areas will ultimately make homebuilding more accessible for clients.

Choosing the Perfect Trade Partners and Product Manufacturers: Our Decision-Making Process

Some may believe that work always goes to the lowest bidder, but that's not the approach taken here. Before collaborating with a trade partner or product manufacturer, the team meets with them multiple times to ensure their offerings align with client preferences and that they possess the capacity to deliver the required quality of work within an appropriate timeframe for all involved teams.

The Director of Purchasing coordinates with the Director of Production to onboard new trades or manufacturers, ensuring they fully understand the quality standards and installation requirements. Thanks to the high standards maintained, most relationships with trades and manufacturers tend to be long-lasting!

Our Commitment to Homeowner Quality Assurance

In every community, there is close communication with new home specialists to ensure that potential clients' interests align with available properties. This collaboration continues throughout the design phase. Ongoing research into what new and existing subcontractors and vendors offer allows clients to access the latest innovations, top-quality options, and competitive prices.

A recurring theme is the importance of teamwork across departments. Distinguishing from other builders involves ensuring that handoffs between teams are seamless and timely. The purchasing department closely monitors the build process, working alongside production to provide everything needed for swift and precise project completion. Even though the team primarily operates in an office setting, efforts are made to ensure that everyone spends time in the field to fully grasp the intricacies of homebuilding.

Step into your dream kitchen, equipped with the finest appliances available.

As an employee-owned business, we see our customers as partners in the journey to discover the best appliances; from luxury homes to an apartment replacement, we have ALL the services and products to meet your needs. Our commitment is to deliver excellence every time.

Enhancing Outdoor Living in Minnesota Sunroomsvs.ScreenPorches:

Sadie Balken

innesota is known for its breathtaking natural beauty and vibrant seasonal changes. While M Minnesotans love to enjoy the outdoors, unpredictable weather can sometimes keep us from getting outside. For homeowners looking to bridge the gap between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment, adding a sunroom or screen porch is an ideal way to extend your living space. Both options offer unique benefits, making them popular choices for anyone wishing to maximize their home’s connection to the great outdoors.

Sunrooms:

Bringing the Outdoors In

A sunroom is a versatile space that provides the best of both worlds. With large windows allowing natural light to flood the room, sunrooms offer a bright and airy atmosphere perfect for year-round enjoyment. These spaces are excellent for entertaining, providing a comfortable setting for gatherings regardless of the weather outside.

For Minnesotans, the added square footage means more room to relax and enjoy the surroundings, even when winter's chill sets in. Sunrooms also tend to be quieter than screen porches, making them suitable for reading, working, or simply unwinding in peace. The constant influx of sunlight not only boosts mood but also offers energy efficiency benefits by reducing the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours.

ScreenPorches:

A Breath of Fresh Air

Screen porches deliver the sensation of being outdoors without the hassle of bugs or extreme weather. This makes them an appealing choice for those who cherish the open-air experience. In Minnesota, where mosquitoes can quickly become unwelcome guests, a screen porch offers an inviting refuge.

These spaces provide more privacy than a regular deck while still allowing for the natural breezes and sounds that make outdoor living so enjoyable. Screen porches are particularly popular for spring, summer, and fall nights, offering an extended outdoor season. They are perfect for casual get-togethers, family meals, or simply enjoying a quiet evening under the stars.

Whether you decide on a sunroom or a screen porch, both options expand your living space and bring the beauty of Minnesota's seasons into your home. Each offers its own set of benefits, catering to different needs and preferences. Sunrooms allow for year-round enjoyment with their bright, quiet spaces, while screen porches provide a more direct outdoor experience minus the pests. Whichever you choose, your home will surely become an even more cherished sanctuary, perfectly attuned to the rhythms of nature and the demands of everyday life.

CHOOSING YOUR BUILDING PARTNER

Stonegate Style Exclusive

Your home is probably the biggest investment of your lifetime. Building is a complex process with many things happening simultaneously. It's important to choose a builder that prioritizes your happiness, health, safety, and investment. As you discover builders during your home search, you may wish to consult the charts within these pages for greater insight. You'll discover what makes a Stonegate home and what questions you should ask other Twin Cities builders.

Building Materials

In A Stonegate Home

Lumber: Most of the wood we use is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. Certification ensures that wood comes from responsibly managed forests which provide environmental social and economic benefits For optimal structural integrity, we use #2 grade or better studs to ensure straighter walls and ceiling lines

High-Performance Windows & Doors: Windows and doors are vital to ensuring a home is safe, energy efficient, and comfortable. Underperforming windows and doors can lead to increased energy bills and expensive repairs. The extreme climate in Minnesota demands windows and doors that are engineered to withstand the elements. That’s why we use only the best products from top window and door manufacturers, all of our windows are Andersen 100 series.

What to watch out for

The builder cannot claim their wood was sourced sustainably

Lesser grades of wood that sacrifice strength, stiffness, or appearance

Cheaper vinyl white windows

Painted doors throughout the home

Smaller sized windows

In A Stonegate Home

Insulation & Dry Thermal Barrier: Your home’s insulation system includes a whole home vapor barrier (to prevent moisture penetration), R49 attic installation, and R20 installation in the exterior walls. Rim joists are insulated with closed-cell spray foam to block air and moisture leaks and prevent mold. Drainboard installation on the outside of the foundation prevents cold from penetrating the interior where it might cause condensation Superior foundation insulation also helps in exterior drainage and has three times the warranty length of traditional membrane waterproofing alone

Dry Basements: Our foundations are poured concrete, at least 8 inches thick. Water doesn't have a chance to penetrate into the cavities through cracks in the mortar joints and infiltrate your home We use top-quality GMX Ultra Shield waterproofing (30-year transferrable warranty) that features a tough, flexible, spray-applied membrane to bridge cracks and seal out water seamlessly With our specially designed drain tile system in the sump basket, you will have peace of mind and never have to worry about a wet basement

HVAC: Larger ducting improves performance and reduces heating and cooling costs. For even greater efficiency and air quality, ducts are sealed with aeroseal.

Our models are built with a minimum of twozone automation heating to maximize your comfort and help you control costs.

James Hardie Siding & Trim: Pre-finished siding with architectural detail, including wrap windows and trim boards. James Hardie offers the warmth and beauty of traditional wood but with the durability of James Hardie siding Perfect for Minnesota weather!

Sheathing & Subflooring: Instead of ordinary plywood, we use engineered sheathing and subflooring. These high-performance materials are engineered to resist warping and delamination due to weather conditions.

Superior Construction: Lower-level floors are warmer and dampness is banished thanks to the 8 inches of clean rock and poly vapor barrier below your basement floor that seals out radon and water. A poured concrete subfloor underneath our tile floors makes the tile crack resistant Larger 18” and 20” floor trusses eliminate the

ELEVATING YOUR HOMES:

Curb Appeal

transformation doesn’t stop there. Eight foot entry doors, adorned with glass panels, not only enhance the grand entrance, but also invite an abundance of natural light into your home.

The shift towards darker siding, often intertwined with wood-look materials, epitomizes the trend of blending nature with modernity. James Hardie’s innovative siding offers the appearance of wood with the durability of composite, eliminating the high maintenance associated with natural wood. This thoughtful combination not only improves the home's beauty but also reduces upkeep, making it a practical choice for the modern homeowner. These trends are not just about following the latest fad; they're about crafting an exterior that will resonate with future homeowners.
