The way we design our homes reflects our one-of-a-kind uniqueness. Often, we spend years honing our personal habitats, but what if you could create your ideal surroundings in a single afternoon? That wish can become a reality when you enter the 1,500-square-foot Design Studio of semi-custom new home builder Saddlebrook Properties, located in Knoxville, Tennessee. Follow these tips to make the most of this special experience!
Preparation Makes Perfect
Begin gathering ideas before you arrive at the Design Studio. Decide what style of home you’re seeking: Traditional, Contemporary, Farmhouse, or an eclectic mix, and take a road trip to view the lifestyle communities built by Saddlebrook Properties in Farragut, Hardin Valley, West Knoxville, and Maryville. Snap photos, write down street addresses of exteriors that appeal to you, and walk through open models for inspiration. Use Pinterest, Houzz, Canva, or magazine clippings to create a vision board. And finally, don’t forget to make a list of what you don’t like – that’s just as important!
