Before You Tour: Find Your Design Match

September 17, 2026

Your dream home starts with knowing what you love. Take our design style quiz before hitting Parade of Homes to view our 14 model homes through the lens of your personal style.

The fall Parade of Homes tour is well underway, and we have 14 beautiful model homes ready to welcome you in. Whether you’re searching for a spacious family home with dynamic entertainment features or a functional single-level home with rich design details, there is truly a space for everyone on our tour.

Before you head out for another packed day of touring, we recommend taking a moment to discover your personal design style. Understanding what color palettes, textures, materials, and architectural details you’re naturally drawn to can be a helpful tool in compiling a touring list that reflects your taste—and will bring you one step closer to finding the home that’s right for you.

Love arched openings, warm wood tones, and a brick-surround fireplace? Your style may lean English Tudor. Drawn to soft neutrals, reclaimed wood, and rustic elegance? Modern farmhouse may be for you. Prefer clean lines, natural light, and open space? You may be a Scandinavian minimalist.

Not sure where your style falls? We’re here to help. Below, we’ve compiled a short, easy quiz designed to match you with the style that best reflects your tastes and preferences. Use the end results to guide the remainder of your Parade of Homes tour, ensuring you spend time inside of the models that truly make you swoon.

And don’t forget to bookmark your results—they will remain a helpful tool as you settle into the journey of homeownership, empowering you to make design decisions with confidence, and compile a home that feels uniquely yours.

Happy touring!
