Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-in-place protocols, a large number of American families have spent additional time within their homes planning DIY and home renovation projects. One of the many effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has been how Americans now view their living space and, subsequently, what the “essential features” are for the modern home. During his time as a Project Assistant at Denise Cassata Designs, Nathaniel Whittle learned not only the importance of organization in home remodeling but also how to anticipate upcoming remodeling trends. Today, Nathaniel Whittle will discuss some of the trends of 2021 and how American families can improve their living spaces. Green Living One of the biggest renovation trends that have taken place in 2021 has been “green” environmentally friendly living. Today, more and more home renovation companies are now offering specialty green renovations that can cut a home’s energy costs by 50% or more by offering energy-efficient roofs, appliances, insulation, and energy-efficient windows. Not only can eco-friendly homes save you more in energy bills, but they can also help also increase the value of your home. In 2021, some of the most popular green living renovations have included composite roofs, xeriscaping, and recycled woods. Replacing Kitchen Tiling for a More Rustic Look While for the past 10 years, white cabinetry and marble countertops were at the forefront of kitchen renovation, this clean farmhouse style may be on its way out. Today, this white kitchen style is often perceived as “sterile” and lacking in warm, welcoming colors. To remedy this, many homeowners are now electing to replace their white backsplashes with handcrafted ceramic tiling. This trend is often referred to as the Moroccan zellige tile trend and is an excellent way to create a one-of-a-kind backspace. Backlit Mirrors and Vanities When renovating a master bathroom, three out of four homeowners install new mirrors. Today, the majority of these homeowners are also choosing to install lighted models of medicine cabinets. Backlit mirrors and medicine cabinets offer embedded ambient lighting without unflattering glare or reflections on the mirror. These simple installations offer homeowners a subtle, inexpensive way of improving their space. The glowing effect on the wall can give the illusion of a floating mirror and create a focal point in an otherwise traditional bathroom. via WordPress https://ift.tt/3oNikNT
