Many people mistakenly interchange the terms contemporary and modern when describing their home design style. Contemporary design style is fluid and ever-changing.

What I like about contemporary design style, as cited by HGTV, is its fluidity and ever-changing personality. Unlike traditional design style, which can become over-the-top with ornamentation, and modern design style, which seems overly sharp and stark, contemporary design blends the two in perfect harmony. It’s never exactly the same with any project.

Moss Building & Design will be at the Home + Remodeling Show from January 19 to 21, 2018 at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly as an exhibitor and sponsor/partner.

Transitional Design Style For Your Northern Virginia Home Transitional design takes components from traditional and modern design to create a harmonious space. It’s really the best of both worlds!

Modern design appeals to many people. It’s known for its straight, clean lines and simple decor. There are many modern design elements that you can use to achieve a modern design style in your bedroom. As your expert Northern Virginia remodeler, we’ve designed many modern homes and can share tips to help you create a modern home design.

Imagine graduating college and moving back into your parents’ house, to a room you decorated when you were 12 years old. That was me about a month ago; pool blue walls with multi-colored waves I painted myself to match one side of my reversible brown polka-dotted comforter. What a view. Knowing it was time to have my bedroom match my current lifestyle, I set about doing my own little bedroom redesign project! I'm going to walk you through my design process, introduce you to a few of the latest trends in the "young adult" world, and provide you with some great ideas for your guest room!

If you are looking to remodel your home, I highly suggest you attend an open house hosted by a remodeling company. Not only do open houses provide you with an opportunity to walk through a brand new remodel, but you can talk to the people who physically did the work.

When customers are starting to think about a bathroom remodel, there are many concerns that may cross their mind considering the time, energy and investment a bathroom renovation can involve. From choosing bathroom vanities to cabinets and accessories, putting together the pieces of the puzzle can seem daunting if you don’t have someone to guide you along the way.

When contemplating one of the main aspects to a bathroom remodel, sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Do you want a full-sized vanity? Should you install a medicine cabinet or floating shelves? It’s normal for all of those choices to make your head spin. The best way to tackle this decision is by keeping two main things in mind-- design and functionality.
