New Home Design Advice and Inspiration from our Partner Brands
October 28, 2019
Sleight Farm is pleased to partner with these brands as we work with new home buyers to design and build their custom new home. Here’s a little more about their companies, along with some useful tools and advice from each to help you in your own new home design process:
Benjamin Moore
When it comes to premium paints and stains for home design, the company Benjamin Moore founded in 1883 still sets the standard for excellence. They manufacture their own resins and proprietary Gennex® colorants, and offer an incomparable selection of authentic colors.
Benjamin Moore has recently announced its Color of the Year 2020, First Light 2102-70, described as “the backdrop for a bright new decade.” The ten harmonious hues of the Color Trends 2020 palette, including First Light, “deliver modern paint color pairings that combine optimism with understatement, a timeless way to lighten up.”
We love Benjamin Moore’s Personal Color Viewer tool where you can upload a room photo to help find the perfect paint color.
Kohler
Since 1873, Kohler has been improving the level of gracious living by providing exceptional kitchen and bath products, and is a favorite home design choice. The company strives to “enhance the quality of life for current and future generations through design, craftsmanship and innovation and fueled by the passion of more than 36,000 associates worldwide.”
At Kohler, there’s no shortage of inspiration; we recommend taking a peek at Kohler’s Ideas Gallery.
Sterling, a Kohler Company
Sterling takes pride in plumbing fixtures that are tough, no fuss, and beautiful. They’re designed to be next-level design products that you can be proud to have in your home. If you don’t think a bathroom can be inspiring, check out Sterling’s Expert Tips and Trends for your Bathroom.
Daltile
Founded in 1947, Daltile is the largest ceramic tile manufacturer in the U.S. The company provides beautiful and premier quality ceramics, mosaics, porcelain, quarry tile and a variety of stone products. With all the choices, choosing tile can feel overwhelming; we recommend Daltile’s How To Choose the Right Tile guide.
Mohawk
Since 1878, Mohawk has built quality into every flooring product they make, with a commitment to product innovation, award-winning design, and a talented team dedicated to outstanding service. They assemble 100% of their carpet products in the United States and lead the pack when it comes to eco-friendly flooring, with hundreds of products made with recycled and renewable resources. Start by asking yourself, “What look do I have in mind?” and use their Flooring Finder to guide your design process.

GE Appliances simply aims to build the world’s best appliances, designed purposefully with consumers in mind. With a legacy of invention, GE Appliances has electrified and modernized life for more than 125 years. We love all the advice and ideas they provide in their Lifestyles blog.
Shaw Floors
This year, Shaw was ranked No. 1 by Floor Covering News, Floor Covering Weekly, and Floor Focus, and in one survey, dealers ranked Shaw’s carpet and hardwood products best in quality, service, support, price, availability, training and consumer preference. The right floor can impact design in surprising ways; get ideas at their Inspiration guide.
