Interior Design Tips From A Florida Real Estate Agent: Make Your Colors Your Own

As a real estate agent in the Horizon West, Florida area, I see SO MANY beautiful model homes that take my breath away with their design options and interior design choices.

I love homes. I love picking apart every little design option and picturing the way my family or others could utilize a new space. In fact, before I moved to Florida, my daughter and I would often go to visit the Parade of Homes – a huge exhibition of immaculate, beautiful homes, each with their own personal touch. It was during these trips that I would often go through each one, commenting about the things I loved, and telling my daughter all about each of the houses and what made them special, from the floor plan to the interior design options. It was also during one of these events that my daughter told me, “You know, you should be a real estate agent.” Guess she was right!



Years later, as a real estate agent in the Horizon West, Florida area, I still see A LOT of model homes every day, each of them impeccably designed, and I share my thoughts on my YouTube channel so my clients from all over the world can have that same experience of exploring a home for the first time.



I recently toured a model home here in the Orlando area that made my jaw hit the floor with its beautiful design choices, and it got me thinking about how powerful something as simple as color can be in making a house a home. This particular home, a model of the Newport floor plan by M/I homes in DeBary, Florida, used a gold, gray, and brown color scheme. As my family can attest, my decoration skills usually incorporate blue, my favorite color, and that to me feels like home. But in this model, with its beautiful details and sleek, modern feel, I found myself thinking of the family that would enjoy basking in all that golden glory.

Color and design, like any aspect of building your home, is deeply personal. Trends come and go, but at the end of the day, your design choices should reflect what makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly at home. If you’re thinking of buying or building a new home, or even just looking to refresh a room or two in your house, I encourage you to take a look at some of my old model tour videos – they just might give you some interior design inspiration! You might even find a house that’s already perfect and just waiting for your family to move in!
