What We Learn From Designer Show Houses

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are kicking off the New Year discussing Designer Show Houses and how they have benefited us as designers over the years. Living in Atlanta, we are fortunate to have numerous show houses available to visit, which means we get to see all kinds of new and unique design ideas and upcoming trends applied to extravagant homes. During this episode, we will share our top ten takeaways from the last two show homes we visited - from interesting space plans and luxury amenities to WOW tile and fireplace designs. Many regions of the country do not benefit from these beautiful Show Houses so we are here to fill you in on all that you are missing.</span></p> <p><strong>IN THIS EPISODE: </strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[01:35] What is a designer show house?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[04:12] Seeing the scale of furniture and what it shows designers. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[06:10] Learning furniture placement and space plans.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[10:06] How oversized lighting can be used.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[14:37] Creating a unique look in specialized spaces. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[19:00] How to create a fireplace design. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[20:20] Benefits of a scullery kitchen and oversized pantries.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[22:49] Wallpaper: should it be used everywhere?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[25:44] How tile design is used in homes. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="
