The Home Design Dilemma Nobody Warns You About
You’ve chosen your floor plan. The site’s ready. You’re excited — the kind of excited that comes from turning a vision into something tangible. Then it happens.
“What color are the cabinets?”
“Do you want matte black or oil-rubbed bronze fixtures?”
“Is this tile giving the right feel — or is it too much?”
What felt like progress suddenly stalls. You’re knee-deep in decisions, most of which seem small — until you realize they’re everywhere, and they all need to work together.
Welcome to the finish spiral — where great design starts to lose its edge, and momentum fades under the weight of too many choices.
So many decision to be made…where do you start?
The Real Problem with Home Finishes
In theory, choosing your home’s finishes is the fun part. In reality, it’s where many projects slow down, lose direction, or become disjointed.
Here’s why:
You’re making hundreds of interconnected decisions without a roadmap.
You’re trying to coordinate details across trades — plumbing, paint, tile, cabinetry — all of which affect each other.
You’re flooded with options, but no clear criteria.
Your builder needs specifications, but you only have inspiration images.
Even for professionals, finish coordination is complex. For most homeowners, it’s overwhelming — and one of the top reasons builds go over schedule, over budget, or off-brand.
That’s where Your Modern Cottage comes in.
Getting inspired is easy—now you have to actually make selections.
Introducing: The Interior Finish Kit
A clear path to cohesive, design-forward results.
The Interior Finish Kit is our way of solving the finish dilemma before it even begins. It’s a fully developed materials package — curated by architects, aligned with your home’s style, and designed to take the stress out of the selection process.
It includes:
Flooring
Wall and trim colors
Cabinet finishes
Countertops and tile
Plumbing and lighting fixtures
Exterior materials and colors
Every item is clearly defined — with model numbers, finishes, manufacturers, and placement notes. This isn’t a mood board. It’s a real, buildable finish package with the detail your builder needs and the design integrity your home deserves.
Our Interior Finish Kits include all of the information your contractor will need.
Three Styles. One Cohesive Story.
Each of our kits is built around a distinct design language, rooted in timeless aesthetics and tailored to how you live:
Contemporary – Minimalist and refined. A neutral palette with smart contrasts and clean lines. Calm, not cold.
Modern Shingle – Organic textures, coastal tones, and a softer edge. Grounded in nature, relaxed in feel.
Modern Farmhouse – A warm, modern take on a classic. Think simplicity, structure, and comfort without cliché.
Choose the palette that resonates. We’ll give you the full material story.
Just like our exterior styles, our interior finish selections are aligned with your dream.
