Benefits of Having a Pool at Home

When considering whether or not to invest in a home with a swimming pool, you might be torn about a few things: the upkeep, the real need for it, the value. At Copper Square, we believe there are many benefits (for both mind and body) to owning a little piece of summer fun on your property:

Fitness
The health benefits alone are worth having a swimming pool. Swimming works your entire body, including your arms, legs, and core - even just 15 to 30 minutes at a time can significantly increase your muscle strength and improve your flexibility. 

Family Time
Pool time also calls for family time. What we mean is, you can create an annual tradition - maybe a "Sunday Fun-day" routine where you all agree that summer weekends are for swimming. However you decide to plan, being able to gather outdoors with those closest to you can strengthen your bond and give you a more exciting option than Family Game Night.

Stress Relief
Going for a casual swim is one of the most effective and natural relaxers for both the body and the mind. Picture this: coming home from a long 9-5 work day and being able to kick off your shoes and splash your worries away - it’s a major benefit to those who own a pool.

A Reason to Stay Home
There’s no place like home - especially if you can take a relaxing dip in your swimming pool on a hot summer afternoon! Having a swimming pool on your own property means you don’t need to pack the car and take a trip to the community pool - just take a quick walk out back for some fun in the sun! Think of it as your very own “staycation”.

At Copper Square, our residents look forward to our Elements Pool Deck & Bar where they can take a dip in a heated swimming pool and lounge in a luxurious cabana with a cool drink in hand! The best part is that residents get to enjoy the many benefits while not having to worry about the maintenance - that’s up to us!

Your very own luxury home and swimming pool is waiting for you at Copper Square! Our Models, Design Studio & Sales Center are now open. Call today at (203)778-4800 or visit our website for more information.

How to Throw the Perfect Memorial Day Party

Memorial Day is a time for us to remember and thank those who risk their lives fighting for our country, It’s also considered the annual kickoff of summer. If you’re celebrating Memorial Day this year by hosting a party for friends and family, here are a few preparations to consider:

Decorations - Show your patriotism this holiday by going red, white, and blue! Inside the home, switch up the color of your candles and pillows, and set red and white carnation flowers on the dining room table. On your outdoor patio, place tiny flags in a mason jar filled with patriotic flowers and hang a large American-themed ribbon on your front door (the first thing guests will see when you greet them).

Rearrange seating - Create a more cozy setting for your Memorial Day party moving your indoor and outdoor furniture around. For example, if you have a love seat and a large arm chair, turn them inwards towards each other to make it easy for guests to converse.

Buffet style setup - Memorial Day parties should be casual. So set up a buffet style food arrangement where your guests can come back for seconds and thirds!

Tidy up - Last but not least, remember to tidy up the home before your event - guests will feel much more welcome. Plus, you’ll open up more space for all your party necessities.

At Copper Square, we make preparing for summer parties easy for our residents by taking care of the yard work. Take a sneak peek of our townhome and duplex models by visiting our gallery »

Reasons the Suburbs Beat City Living

Whether you’re downsizing or looking for your first home, you might be torn between city and suburban living. Although there’s no denying that the city has plenty to offer, here is why suburban living is the better option:

More Space 
Unlike city living, the suburbs offer plenty of more space. Your home will be larger, you’ll have easier access to parking, and you won’t have to handle large crowds. You also have the option for a backyard pool and luxurious patio or deck.

More Greenery
Yearning for a healthier lifestyle? If so, then suburban living is the perfect solution for you. The city is surrounded by tall buildings and smoke stacks, but the suburbs will make you feel happier and more connected to nature. When you visit states, like Connecticut, you’ll know exactly what we mean!

Still Close to City Fun
Just because you live in the suburbs, doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy the city! When you live in the suburbs, you get the best of both worlds - you can live in a larger home yet still take a short commute to the more urban areas around you.

At Copper Square, we are located in the heart of the growing suburban town of Bethel. We offer plenty of space and beautiful outdoor grounds for the summer, including our Elements Pool Deck and Bar. Copper Square is also conveniently located close to New York City - close enough for commuting and weekend trips.

Our Models, Design Studio & Sales Center are now open. Call today at (203)778-4800 or visit our website for more information.

Kitchen Color Trends That Can't Go Wrong

Building a dream kitchen is a big commitment that should last. We all hear about trends that come and go, but did you know there are many classic trends that you can stick with for decades? Here are top three options:

All white
White is timeless and perfect for the kitchen. You can’t go wrong with one of the most popular colors in interior design, especially when you keep it monochromatic. If an all-white kitchen sounds like your style, focus on layering white on white and emphasizing different textures from your wood cabinets, to your glossy countertops, to your tile floors - ideal for contemporary and transitional style homes. 

Neutral Gray
If white is a bit too bright for your taste, opt for gray. Designing a gray kitchen can be tricky, but is a sophisticated color you can’t go wrong with. The best part about going gray is that you can keep your staple interiors neutral but still add hot colors, like reds and yellows. 

Mix and Match
Want a more colorful kitchen? Don’t be afraid to mix and match! Salt and pepper is a popular style that is also classic due to its neutral undertones. Black and white are both classic colors that can be mixed together to create a contrasting, luxurious style. Try pairing black (or dark brown) cabinets and drawers with white countertops.

You classic, dream kitchen is waiting for your at Copper Square! We design both modern and classic designs to fit each lifestyle and personal interior design taste.
