If you’re considering a home improvement project consider the latest trends in home fashion and design. Take a look at some of these recent innovations in home design.
Surfaces: Engineered stone is more affordable and less porous than granite. Reflective glass tiles are becoming more popular than traditional ceramic tiles.
Flooring: Bamboo is tougher and more eco-friendly than wood flooring, but beware that low-cost versions risk warping. Concrete slabs are now retro-chic, along with exposed brick or steel in walls. Cork has become a hip, durable and quiet floor.
Home Automation Systems: Household functions including lighting, climate control, personal computers, window coverings and home entertainment systems can be wired and controlled by a single on-site or off-site control system.
Garage Conversions: Flooring, enclosed walls, lighting and furnishings can add usable living space and still provide for storage. Purpose-specific spaces are also popular in other parts of the home.
