We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Jason Walker for taking the time to share his knowledge and expertise with our members. We appreciate his willingness to pull back the curtain on his processes, systems, and approach to building exceptional homes.

A special thank you as well to Heather Walker for graciously hosting us in their beautiful model home at Lake Winnebago. The setting was the perfect backdrop for learning, networking, and gaining valuable insights into the building process.

Our members walked away with practical knowledge, fresh ideas, and a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and planning that go into creating outstanding homes. Thank you both for your hospitality and generosity in sharing your experience with us!

Luxury homes in 2026 won’t just look beautiful — they’ll respond to the way people live and feel. ✨

One of the fastest-growing trends in modern design is mood-responsive living. Imagine interiors that automatically adjust lighting, sound, temperature, and ambiance based on the time of day, your routine, or even your mood.

Buyers are craving homes that feel calming, restorative, and deeply personalized — spaces designed to support wellness, comfort, and everyday living on an entirely new level.

The future of luxury isn’t just smart.
It’s intuitive.

Bold is back in a BIG way for 2026. ✨

One of the biggest luxury design trends right now is “color drenching” — using one rich, saturated hue throughout an entire space to create depth, drama, and emotion. Instead of small pops of color, homeowners are embracing immersive spaces layered in terracotta, emerald, navy, charcoal, and other statement tones.

The result?
Homes that feel intentional, sophisticated, and unforgettable.

Design is shifting away from playing it safe.
And buyers are noticing.

Would you try a bold monochromatic room in your home?
🧡 Warm terracotta
💙 Moody navy
💚 Deep olive
🖤 Dramatic charcoal

Wallpaper is making a dramatic comeback in 2026 — and this time, it’s bringing personality with it. ✨

From vintage florals and damasks to moody botanicals and statement accent walls, wallpaper is becoming one of the easiest ways to create warmth and unforgettable style in a home.

The new luxury isn’t perfection.
It’s personality.

Luxury home design in 2026 is all about creating spaces that blur the line between indoors and out. ✨

Today’s buyers aren’t just looking for square footage — they’re looking for experiences. Retractable glass walls, covered patios, outdoor living rooms, statement pools, and seamless entertaining spaces are quickly becoming some of the most desired features in modern home construction.

The best homes no longer stop at the walls.
They flow beautifully into the way people actually want to live.

If you could add one luxury feature to your dream home, what would it be?
☀️ Retractable glass walls
🌴 Resort-style outdoor living
🔥 Outdoor kitchen & fireplace
🏊 Luxury pool retreat

There’s a noticeable shift happening in luxury home design for 2026 — and cold gray interiors are giving way to warmth, richness, and personality. ✨

Buyers are gravitating toward earthy tones like terracotta, olive, caramel, rust, and layered warm neutrals that make a home feel grounded and inviting. These colors create spaces that feel timeless, sophisticated, and deeply livable instead of stark or overly trendy.

Design is becoming more emotional.
More welcoming.
More connected to comfort and lifestyle.

If you were redesigning your dream home, would you go:
🤎 Warm earthy tones
🖤 Moody modern
🤍 Soft organic neutrals
🌿 Nature-inspired greens
