Home Design Insights for Your Lifestyle

What should you look for when searching for a home to buy or rent?
Home Design Insights is a website devoted to helping people look for and find the best place to live. Designing and building a new Home? Looking for places to live, rent or planning a remodel?

What is really best for you? It may look great, but is it "Livable"?

This Web Site is being updated with new pages and information weekly. Please BOOKMARK this page and Come Back Soon!

Mountain House or Modern Mayberry?

There is more to loving your home and being comfortable in it than the first impression of a floorplan, cabinet color and countertop material!
Home Design Insights gives you real life tips on home design ideas and features to consider from actual experience building homes, designing homes, living in them, and years of trial & error.

  • Our website displays several lifetimes of lessons learned and experiences from living in everything from a rental studio apartment to retirement communities, standard family homes to large pool & resort style homes across all areas of the country.
  • The site content is mostly questions to ask yourself or your family.  You supply your special answers to gain the "Home Design Insights" needed to make the best, most "livable" home selection. Take a look around our website to gain some "Insights" on what might be best for you, your family, and your lifestyle.  A variety of topics cover every room of the home, outdoors and indoors!
  • Our content is not just about interior design or architectural design - It's about practical everyday things people learn about what makes daily living in your home a better experience!  The goal for all of us is less frustration, stress, annoyance, maintenance, cleaning and ---  More peace & contentment!
  • With the high price of homes these days it is important to choose the right place, features, floor plan, and style so that you are comfortable in that home for longer than a few weeks or months. A home is usually the most expensive obligation that anyone makes during a lifetime & it takes the largest percent of your monthly income. Make certain you choose one you love & can live with for quite a while.
  • We love houses, homes, condos & neighborhoods.  We love looking at all of them. We’ve rented, built, bought and lived in over a dozen different places.  But not every house is great for everyone.  Personally, we’ve made several home choices that have just not been quite right - although they were all beautiful homes.  Within several weeks or months we are out looking for the next great place!  But, you really do not want to move every year!  (I do admit to having a little gypsy genetic makeup.)  And, besides, moving often is expensive in time and money.

Your tastes and life style play a large part in whether you love your house, or want to change it or move.

What makes the best "Livability" for YOU?

We hope that the information in Home Design Insights can help you make a wise and well planned choice if you are in the market for a new place to live.
