ByMyProperty Life

Fall 2020 brings with it plenty of possibilities across the world and hope that the last third of the year will be far better than the pandemic-struck and difficult first eight months. There is hope in the air and with the arrival of fall, we look forward to both Halloween and Thanksgiving celebrations once again – even if they are altered by the current Covid-19 situation. With a change in season, you also have new decorating and design trends that reshape interiors and promise to give our home a fresh new look. Some are easy to incorporate while others take a bit more time; but the best fall kitchen trends this year combine style with sensibility.

Many design experts strongly feel that the current pandemic situation, social distancing norms and the overall economic impact of the last few months will strongly influence everything from home decorating to shopping trends in the coming months. Instead of the usual lineup of endless fall parties and constant hosting, kitchens will serve as more personal spaces this year where ‘connecting virtually’ becomes the norm. Form, functionality and unexpected splashes of color are all a part of the top fall kitchen trends for 2020!

Turn to DIY Solutions

The next few months are bound to see many turn to DIY solutions and new cooking recipes to ensure that their preparations for the Holiday Season go seamlessly. This is a trend that is largely influenced by our reluctance to go outside and shop for health and safety reasons. In the kitchen, small DIY projects can bring something new and personal without forcing you to shop or spend a fortune. A simple hexagonal wall shelf that adds geometric contrast, a DIY rug that adds color or sleek floating shelves that bring additional storage space – there are many great DIYs that require just basic crafting skills.

Outdoors Come Alive Inside!

If you cannot spend more time outside, then bring the outdoors inside! That is the idea that seems to be taking over kitchens in 2020 and everything from a living wall and small herb gardens to sliding glass doors that connect with the garden are welcome in here! You can find your own little way in which nature becomes a part of the kitchen this fall. If you are blessed with a spacious home where garden sits next to the kitchen, then do take advantage of it. In small urban apartments, DIY planters usher in natural greenery while botanicals and nature-centric prints make an instant difference.

Cleaner, More Organized Kitchens

A cleaner kitchen is a must this fall to keep your family healthy and safe and this starts with a kitchen that is far better organized. The ‘less is more’ philosophy is one that is bound to gain traction at the moment and no matter what your kitchen styles is, a de-cluttered space is an absolute must. Try out new modular cabinets and smart shelves in here that help tuck away additional kitchenware while a new pantry could help solve many of your storage problems.

Uplifting Splashes of Color

Fall is usually the time when we see fiery oranges and lovely yellows take over from the cloak of green outside. Celebrate this change of colors in the kitchen as well by infusing uplifting splashes of color in a space that is otherwise neutral. A backsplash in brilliant yellow, ceiling in blue, cabinets in red or just accessories that add pops of green everywhere – there are many, many possibilities to explore. Instead of just fixating on one color, think of color as a way to give the kitchen a unique personality that drives away blues.

Smart Eat-in Kitchens

Saving space and giving the kitchen a more ‘social’ appeal, smart eat-in kitchens are only going to be more popular in the months ahead. Eat-in kitchens come in a wide range of forms and the dining area in here can vary from the simple extension of the kitchen island into a dining table to the stunningly beautiful dining space that sits at the heart of a large kitchen. If you are someone who is just thinking about adding a small dining area in the kitchen, then a modest table and a few chairs should get you started in the right path. And those lucky enough to have a lovely little niche in the kitchen can transform it into banquette-style seating that gives you the diner experience at home!

  • A Village of One’s Own

    Welcome to A Village of One’s Own, a modern masterpiece by Hugh Newell Jacobsen. Described as one of the world’s top 50 architects by Architectural Digest, Jacobsen has been retained by celebrities including Meryl Streep, James Gardner and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Here in Meadowbrook, Mr. Jacobsen was tasked with creating a modern home on a sloping hillside in 1988. Nearly invisible from the road, however the moment you turn down the drive, there is a sense of calm discovery. Three massive chimneys reach for the sky and the entire structure is covered in cedar shingles on the roof. There is a crispness and symmetry to the varying buildings from the 6-dormered Federal-style living room to the glass, pyramidal sky tower that was inspired by an 18th Century lantern house over the entry foyer. Ornamentation is eliminated, with box gutters hiding the downspouts and it is completely void of any fenestration. The forms themselves are the decoration, and it is simply brilliant! From the entry courtyard, the home appears small and simple. The site afforded the architect with the ability to design a reverse plan where the public living spaces occupy the main level. This first floor is high like a treehouse with views out to the canopy of trees that fill the rear yard. The private living quarters occupy the full lower-level with complete connection to the grounds through a series of symmetrical sliding glass doors from every room to the flagstone walkway across the entire rear of the house. With Southern exposure, the way the sunlight plays across the rear of the home is wonderful. No matter what Mother Nature delivers on any given day, from sun, to snow to rain, the experience and connection to the outdoors is magical. The home is grand without being grandiose. There is a quiet elegance that offers multiple experiences. One enters into the 2nd of the pavilions. The bluestone floored foyer is bathed in light from the glass sky tower above and two large windows facing the rear patio and grounds. Centered in the foyer is the powder room with a 16′ ceiling that has a mural painted by Hugh Newell Jacobsen himself! It’s a whimsical interpretation of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam. The 20′ vaulted living room to the left of the foyer is the first of many surprises. A series of six dormers cut through the soaring ceiling while eight symmetrical 8′ tall floor-to-ceiling windows ground the living room to the outdoors. Centered on the gable wall is the first of five wood burning fireplaces with a hidden wood box tucked to the right and a square window off-centered to the left. Another ingenious design of Jacobsen’s is the placement of interior window shutters to control the flow of light. The third pavilion provides another signature Jacobsen element, the 25′ tall library walls and circular staircase to the private quarters below. This section also houses a massive roof light on the Southern slope of the pavilion. The fourth pavilion houses the dining room and kitchen. Similar to the living room, yet juxtaposed with the gable walls facing the rear and front yards, soaring ceilings in the dining room and large windows provide the perfect backdrop to enjoy the changing seasons with family and friends over great meals. The second wood burning fireplace is centered on one side wall with hidden storage closets. The kitchen is the definition of efficiency, with cabinetry on all four walls and a large central island. Double ovens, a SubZero side-by-side fridge and a series of square windows overlooking the entry court provide the perfect vista to see guests as they arrive. The 5th and smallest of the pavilions houses the mudroom and breakfast room with the third wood burning fireplace. The master suite occupies the entire space under pavilions 4 and 5 and is a refuge of simple, classic forms. It has a dedicated home office, large en-suite bath, a walk through closet and the remaining two fireplaces.
