With 2020 now in the past, most of us are left to adapt to new norms, many of which revolve around increased time within our homes. This coming year is expected to be a big year for home renovation and remodel projects as people are growing more and more aware of dull spaces in need of improvement and finding greater need to enrich their home environments. In anticipation of this home renovation surge, we have compiled a list of 10 important home improvement trends that can be applied to your next project.
Interior Design Incorporating Natural Tones and Metal Materials
Especially in the kitchen, natural earth tones set a warm mood and make a space truly feel like the heart of the home. Colors such as olive, ochre and burnt umber can work to enrich and ground your living space. In like manner, metal elements incorporated strategically can create a warm, modern feel. Such elements include cabinet and drawer handles, sinks and lighting fixtures.
Wall of Windows that Fold Away to Unite the interior with the Exterior
A simple glance outdoors or an increase of natural light in the home can make all the difference to one’s mood. As more time is being spent indoors, we are choosing to open up our interior spaces to unite them with our personal exterior space by installing full wall of windows such as “Nanawall system. The option to bring in the exterior of your personal garden or water feature can change the feeling of the space and your mood. Redefine Architectural Possibilities Through Aesthetics with nanawalls.com can change your world of possibilities.
Natural Elements
Natural elements such as adding a room that opens up to your personal garden are becoming a staple element of home designs today. But beyond indoor plants, stones and wood elements are being incorporated beautifully into accent walls and countertops for a fresh, organic look and feel.
Useful Kitchen Island Features
Incorporating cooktops and large sinks into your island space can greatly increase functionality and enhance your kitchen. Island storage elements such as pull-out drawers of various shapes and sizes and build-in refrigeration are becoming increasingly popular as well.
Roomier Kitchens and Dining Spaces
Over the past several months, many of us have been afforded more opportunities to prepare meals at home and dine at the kitchen table with family. This has created meaningful habits and made the kitchen a central hub within the home. Since more time is being spent in the kitchen and dining areas, many are looking to open up such spaces creating more valuable room.
Home Offices
Office spaces within the home are becoming more popular than ever. Unused bedrooms or basement spaces are being transformed into areas that promote focus and productivity. Many people are anxious to create their own ideal home offices to achieve the perfect work-at-home ambiance.
Built-In Shelving
Slowly but surely, stand-alone shelves are becoming a thing of the past. Shelving is now being built into walls and nooks enhancing both aesthetic value and functionality. Consider strategic built-in shelving as a way to add depth and dimension by maximizing space and creating a total blend with adjacent walls and ceilings.
Hardwood Flooring
More so than ever, people are gravitating towards all wood floors. Some of the common favorites are European white oak, dark charcoal and dark painted hardwood. Hardwood floors can be beautifully accented with rugs for a warm yet contemporary style.
Walk-in Pantry
Given the increased importance of food storage in unprecedented times as well as more home-centered dining practices, pantries will be a large home improvement focus. Increased space in the pantry not only serves a practical purpose, but it can lend an entirely new breath to your kitchen.
Shower Renovations
Many people are upgrading their traditional showers and tubs. All glass walk-in showers equipped with benches and other universal design elements are now quite common. Such shower improvements provide increased safety as well as a dramatically enhanced look and feel.
