With the new year just around the corner, this is the time to get your home improvement checklist ready to make a big impact on the look and functionality of your home. Your entire space can change drastically with just some minor and major changes. This article will delve into some of the top home improvement trends to consider.

Home Improvement Trends - Modernizing Your Home 

Amazing Flooring

New flooring will offer a new feeling to your home. When considering your flooring, you should go with bold tile patterns for small rooms like the laundry room or your bathroom. As for the kitchen and living area, hardwood with the geometric design will be impressive. You can choose luxury vinyl tile for tile-looking or wood-looking flooring.

Mudroom Lockers

A mudroom can meet all your storage needs. With a locker, you will have a more organized storage space. The locker will enable all your family to have a place to store their coats, backpack, shoes, and other essentials. You should get a mudroom with a sink, dryer, washer, and cloth hanging arrangements.

Environment-Friendly Improvements

You can find many ways to minimize the carbon footprint of your home. One of the best options is to add insulation to the attic. It will save on both heating and cooling. Also, it can boost the value of your property. You can also consider ENERGY STAR®-rated windows, automatic thermostats, and reclaimed wood flooring.

Age-Friendly Additions

Although when you’re remodeling your home, you may not think about adding certain additions to your home for when you become older. Some additions such as widening doors and hallways to easily accommodate wheelchairs and walkers can offer more convenience to roam around. Also, you can focus on comfort-height toilets and walk-in showers with grab bars to ensure easy operation with one hand.

More Amenities

You should add a lot of amenities while remodeling your basement or the room above the garage. With an additional bathroom and kitchenette, your remodeled home will look impressive with better functionality. When there will be more equipment in a new space, you will enjoy it more.

Modern Kitchens

While remodeling your home, you cannot ignore your kitchen. Your kitchen is the center of your home. For the kitchen renovations, you can think of natural wood and flat-front cabinets. Now, the trendy kitchens can look great with clean lines and motion-sensing faucets. You can choose accent lighting and wi-fi appliances to give a modern touch to your kitchen.

Refresh the Outdoors

In addition to interior designs, you will have to take care of your outdoor space as well to create a lasting impression. You can boost the look without spending much. You can simply repaint doors to give your home a new life. If you want a clean and perfect look, make sure that the gutters are well-maintained and clean. To avoid gutter cleaning, you can add roof gutter protection. That will protect your gutters from dirt, leaves, and other debris.

Bottom Line

Above were a few home improvement trends to try out when you’re looking to give your home a facelift. By simply adding some minor or major changes to your home can completely change the look of it. You can change your flooring, add a mudroom to your home, make your home more eco-friendly, add more amenities, and many more.
