The National Association of Realtors recently interviewed experts in home design, architecture, technology and more to predict the top home trends that will characterize 2015. Based on the findings, it looks like 2015 is going to be an awesome year for home trends! Coral Hues: This bright color is youthful but sophisticated. Try using it outside or on an accent wall. Open Spaces: You may think open floor plans are on their way out, but think again. Rooms, especially those connected to the kitchen, will continue to flow into one another. Freestanding Tubs: Sleek, standalone bathtubs are becoming a staple in a new style of bathroom that also features open spaces and a more seamless flow. Quartzite: Its reputation as a sturdy, heat-resistant, easy-to-clean natural stone has made Quartzite a hot choice. Additionally, it mimics the ever-popular luxe look of marble. Porcelain Flooring: 2015's affordable answer to hardwoods is porcelain. This newly-popular tile ranges in size, color, and texture, but consistently wears well so it's great in high-traffic rooms. Tech-Savvy: Home technology has become more accessible in price and usability. It's now easy to find inexpensive ways to control your lightbulbs, thermostat and everything in between all from your phone or tablet. Charging Stations: You can't speak about technology without thinking about how to keep it charged. Many homeowners are moving away from large offices and toward small spaces designed specifically to charge their tech. Keyless Entry: It's not just for your car anymore. Keyless systems for your home's doors that connect to phone apps and security systems are savvy and affordable. Fashionable Wall Decor: True fashionistas will tell you anything goes in fashion, and now the same is true for your walls. Mixing and matching with frames, mountable decor, and color is all the latest. Outdoor Living: No surprise here. Outdoor living, and anything that enhances it, is on-trend. Think saltwater pools, dog runs, and outdoor showers. |
