Clayton Katz is well-versed in the new construction luxury market, having represented many prestigious builders on some of Houston's most exclusive multimillion-dollar spec homes. In this ultra-luxury market, builders, agents, and designers must possess an understanding of both evolving design trends and lasting style. This month's design trend focuses on the reimagining of a classic interior flourish–wood paneling. Modern paneling feels current with unexpected proportions, rich tones, and organic textures. The vertical panels shown in this Fifty Seventh + 7th build span from floor to ceiling in the grand two-story family room. Accenting the largest wall allows the space to feel polished without the need for additional art or décor. The hardwood panels also add dimension that creates visual interest and brings in the grounding influence of the outdoors. Custom millwork is a perennial classic. When paired with forward-thinking design aesthetics, modern wood paneling is a new statement of enduring elegance. Clayton Katz is a real estate agent affiliated with Compass.
