Lita Dirks & Co., Beechwood Homes
GREAT ROOM. The all-in-one great room is still the epicenter of the home but many builders aren’t sure how to make it stand out. For 2016, the best way to get bang for your design buck in a great room is with appealing, expansive windows, says Dirks. “Take them as far to the ceiling and floor as you can and make them long and graceful, it gives you a more updated look,” she says.
She advised attendees to put more emphasis on beautiful casing details in lieu of draperies and to consider folding glass doors if buyers are willing to pay for them.
