Ranch Style Homes and Modern Interiors
Though the first building of these unique homes started in the 1920s, their popularity throughout the states in the 1950s cemented the ranch style as a symbol of American family living. An image of the suburban dream.
According to Witold Rybczynski, “by the 1950s ranch-style homes accounted for nine out of 10 new houses.” Spread across the states, Oregon is no exception. I have staged countless ranch homes over the years and one of the things I love about this style is how incredibly versatile it is. The promise of modern living that helped ranch homes gain popularity is still true today. While what we consider ‘modern’ has changed, these homes have been easily adapted to meet the vision of new homeowners. If you’re looking to renovate your ranch home, consider working with 9 On Main, a company that offers services like architectural design, interior design, and cabinetry that can help you bring your vision for your modern ranch home to life.

Often in staging there is a default for neutral tones, but depending on the demographic of your home market, smartly incorporated colors can work to a ranch-style house’s advantage.
The open layout of a ranch home can work well with color divides. Wall paint can help emphasizing the spacious connected rooms, while still allowing a clear contrast between functional living spaces. You can also visit https://hsppaintingcompany.com/ to get more ideas about paint color combinations
I played up the fun and modern aspects of this home in the staging, drawing from the home’s color pallet for the furniture and accessories.
This house was such a delight to work on, and it is a wonderful example of how malleable the interior of a ranch home can be. This is the type of house that is flexible enough in interior design and layout to allow a homeowner to create their own modern living.
