Building a custom home starts with a conversation. At AR Homes® Knoxville, that conversation is with Karen.

For 10 years, Karen has guided our clients through one of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make. The person you meet on day one is the same person who walks through your finished home with you, and she’s there for every phase in between.

A custom home is about more than the style you love. It’s about how you’ll live in it. Karen asks the questions you might not think to ask. Where does everyone end up at the end of the day? Who’s up first in the morning? Which room have you been saving screenshots of for years?

What would you make sure you had in your next home?

Inspired living starts here.

Gold. 🏆

The judges have spoken: our Parade home earned Gold in the $2M–$3M category at the 2026

This home was built for a family who wanted modern lines without losing warmth: crisp white stucco, natural wood accents, and walls of black-framed windows that pull the trees right into the living space. Every detail was a conversation, and every conversation made it better.

A home like this is never built by one company. Thank you to the judges, our design team, the homeowners who trusted us with their vision, and the partners whose craftsmanship is in every room:

Summit Cabinets - Custom cabinets
Stone World Knoxville - Countertops in the kitchen, primary bath and powder bath and secondary baths
A New Hue - Limewash in den, Venetian plater in great room and primary accent wall
Gillenwater Flooring & Kitchen Gallery - Flooring, Closet and shelving
Premier Pools & Spas - Knoxville - pool
Ferguson Home - Lighting and Plumbing fixtures

Congratulations to Mike Stevens Homes and all of this year’s Parade winners. It’s an honor to share the stage.

Now we’d love your vote. People’s Choice voting is open through October 25. Tour the home this weekend or next (Friday–Sunday, 12–5 pm, stop #6), then cast your vote for AR Homes® – The Ernst Group.

The home you imagine begins with what matters to you.

Perhaps a recent tour brought your priorities into focus. A room felt just right. A detail sparked an idea. Or you found yourself imagining a different way to use the space.

Those observations are worth bringing to the conversation.

Share the images you have saved, the questions you have collected, and what you hope your next home will make possible.

You do not need every detail decided to begin.

A single tile sample can look perfect on its own. Next to the wood, the countertop and the wall tile, it can tell a completely different story.

Here’s what we do at their design meeting with our home owners:

1. Lay everything on one table. Floor, wall, vanity and countertop, side by side, the way they’ll actually sit in the room.

2. Look at scale, not just color. A small pebble mosaic and a large-format wall tile can share the same palette and still read as two very different textures. Make sure the contrast is one you want.

3. Think about where your feet go. Smaller mosaics mean more grout lines. In a shower, that adds grip underfoot. In a high-traffic floor, it means more grout to maintain.

Selections often evolve once you see them together, and that’s exactly the point of the process.

Consider this your sign to stop saving inspiration photos… and start building the custom home that reflects your style. ✨

From warm natural wood tones to layered stone, soft textiles, and handcrafted finishes every texture tells a story. Your home should feel personal and designed around what you love most.

Because luxury isn’t just how a home looks. It’s also about how it feels.

Why settle for someone else’s vision when you can build your own?

At AR Homes, we believe your home should reflect the way you live, from the layout to the smallest details. Instead of buying what’s available, build something intentional, personal, and made just for you.

Because your dream home shouldn’t be found… it should be created. 🏡✨
