I am seeing several things happening in the remodeling and building industry directly resulting from people spending more time at home. Below are just a few of the many exciting features people are putting on their wish lists when it comes to elevating their home spaces for work, relaxation, safety and entertainment.
Home offices or dedicated work spaces are becoming staples in new homes and are high on the list of requests when it comes to remodels.
Spa-like bathrooms are one of my most popular requests as people seek to de-stress with some alone time in a place of privacy. Deep sinks and tubs, unique lighting, heated towel racks and floors, and walk-in showers are become very mainstream.
Expanded living spaces onto decks and patios is huge right now. Covered decks, three-season additions, outdoor kitchens, outdoor fireplaces, patio bars and more are making the outdoors “in.”
Kitchen remodels are seeing more multi-function capabilities for the most popular room in the house. A favorite trend is to have two kitchen islands—one for entertaining and food prep and the other for school work and hobbies. Open-concept designs are going away as people look for ways to increase storage, decrease sound, and incorporate more privacy into their homes
Bigger mudrooms with more storage and laundry rooms with more counter space are always a request. These are the rooms we rely on to keep the rest of the house looking tidy, and everything gets dumped here. Think about dedicated pet feeding stations, sports equipment closets, shoe and outerwear cubbies, cleaning supply closets, recycling stations and more.
No matter what the space, I always suggest things that are important to most people: smart technology, sustainable products, intelligent lighting solutions, upgraded safety features and more storage.
