Whether remodeling a room or just wanting an update to the most often used space, check out some of our remodeling trends we’ve implemented in our projects to inspire your own home updates. 

We’re connected – homeowners add flexibility, convenience, affordability, savings via current tech advances. We’re all connected via electronic devices (smartphones, tablets, apps).  When considering wireless options, look at a smart, touchscreen fridge, one that creates shopping lists, sends reminders on what to buy, and coordinates schedules. Don't forget about temperature remote management. 

Ease of accessibility – your ‘new’ home should be designed to be accessible to all people, regardless of their age, size or ability. Remodeling for accessibility means making choices to make a space convenient for everyone, such as eliminating obstacles, tripping hazards, being able to maneuver in a space, as well as transitions between rooms, and steps in favor of open designs that maximize mobility. Consider recessed areas beneath the stove, sink and other appliances and shallow cabinets for wheelchair accessibility.

The new escape – a finished basement and attic serves as an escape for family members, visiting guests, work-at-home parents and devoted hobbyists. Visually enlarge a space by lighting and brightening with white-painted ceilings, walls and trim (or shades of ivory, cream or beige), and light-color floors, as well as installing remote-ambiance lighting.

Splish-splash – upgraded bath tubs and showering spaces include spa-like sprays, jets, steam, dry-sauna and of course app-controlled features. 

Mix-and-match – the customization-of-your-space trend continues, homeowners are at liberty of mixing styles, colors, textures and elements from different decades. For example, light color walls and floors, with wood accents and textural fabrics.

Wood is in – a very popular element in newly-remodeled homes, including traditional and contemporary. Today’s wood trends are acceptable in various combinations, types, styles and stains. A mixture of grains, textures and colors not only adds visual interest but extends to various uses, not limited to only the floor and kitchen cabinets.

Pop of color – bright patterns and saturated colors create another visual interest to a space showcasing a positive energy, a playful character, and personal touch.

Heavy metals – adds visual interest to a space especially in bathrooms and kitchens. It’s a great way to add texture and focal point to a space. Resulting in a great conversation piece.
