"TRENDY"
Everyone wants to at some point during homeownership to makes changes to their home. Why not think about future resale? Not everyone tastes are the same but a little forethought could make a difference. Trendy is good but as you know trends come and go. But these trends appeal to most people.
According to Case Design/ Remodeling, Inc., here are a few of the biggest trends to watch in 2007:
*Faucets. Personalized design is aimed at providing homeowners with a relaxing environment while they bathe or shower.
*Concrete and glass countertops. Concrete can take any shape, a plus for designers, and it is not as costly as some other natural stone materials. Glass--in all shapes, colors, thicknesses and textures--is also showing up in ultra-modern kitchen designs.
*Outdoor kitchens. Whether built from ground up or on an existing patio, outdoor kitchens boost resale value and offer limitless possibilities.
*Energy-efficient materials and appliances. Windows and doors, washing machines, dishwashers, ranges and refrigerators feature sleek designs, innovation and all the latest amenities to help homeowners become more energy- and resource- efficient and save money.
