The last thing you want to do is spend an exorbitant amount of money remodeling your home only to find the style you chose is pass\u00e9. Not only could this diminish the overall value of your home, but what do you do when you realize you’re the only one around with the Jungle inspired home that hasn’t been popular for decades? Your home should not only reflect who you are, but should also make a statement about your awareness of current and future trends in the interior design industry.<\/p>\n
Last year’s Urban Chic, with its stark interiors and super clean lines, seems to be fading fast as one new trend toward Roomscapes is gaining popularity. Remodelers are now edging toward a less stylized look that takes a more human approach to interior design providing spaces that are more comfortable and inviting than designs that were preferred in the past. This style includes more spa-like bathrooms that provide a retreat from our hectic, fast-paced, stressed-filled lives as well as the use of reinvented existing pieces of furniture.<\/p>\n
What are quickly loosing popularity are the “go green” labels. Although we all want to remain environmentally friendly and aware, just slapping a “green” tag on something doesn’t necessarily make it the best product to have in our homes. We all need to become aware of what materials are used in the products we purchase and their environmental impact on our home, community, and world, but the over-emphasis on “green” products has caused many to question its overuse.<\/p>\n
