HOME TRENDS

What do homeowners want?

Not a formal livingroom. A survey by the National Association of Home Builders say that in 8 years the formal livingroom will vanish and turn into something else like a library or music room.

The same seems to be true for formal dining. The majority of homeowners prefer the open floorplan that includes a flow from living to dining to kitchen regardless of the size or cost of the home.

Kitchens are becoming larger because (you know this is true) when entertaining everyone congregates in the kitchen. The new buzz is all about lighting in a kitchen. Recessed, under cabinet and dimmer lights are very popular.

Master bedrooms and baths are going to be larger with emphasis on a separate living space.

Outdoor living with outdoor kitchens is also very popular. When remodeling, keep these things in mind.
