You may have your own justifications
for the ‘why’ of your house-remodeling project. Maybe you know 2017 has been a
huge year for remodeling, with innovations made in the most unexpected areas.
New design inspirations, abstract geometric patterns, automation and so much
more have become known in the recent past. Here are the latest remodeling
trends for you to consider because your remodeling project has become a reality
now.
Home automation
Home automation has been a
well-explored concept in recent times, but 2017 has seen innovations ranging
from Wi-Fi enabled indoor cameras to complete home controllers. Automated smoke
detectors, cameras and temperature control systems have become more
sophisticated and more affordable. Home automation is also a major participant
in energy saving. Automation of lights and thermostats lower energy bills too.
Vanity conversions

Remodeling with reclaimed materials,
especially wood, can be very exciting, for example making perfect bathroom
vanities for your house. You can convert
your reclaimed furniture – old file cabinets, chests, cupboards etc. – into
unique vanities suited to your fancy.
It is important to measure the
dimensions of each piece before re-purposing it for a vanity. It is best to
consult a reputed remodeling contractor, who will describe
clearly the pros and cons of converting furniture into vanity pieces, options,
designs, costs, etc.
Fantastic laundry room
Homeowners in general never pay much
attention to the laundry room. Not before 2017 at least, the laundry room was
associated with awe-inspiring designs and colors. Homeowners, no doubt spend a
lot of time doing laundry, but rarely do they think of making the laundry room
appear fantastic? New lighting methods, smarter storage and imaginative use of
the laundry room space are all well explored this year.
Counter-depth fridges
Refrigerators have become a lot
bigger over the years. This is good for storing food but bad for space
efficiency in the kitchen. Counter-depth fridges are a better alternative for
kitchens that are short on space. They free up space and give a sleek look.
These refrigerators, although not very energy efficient, are widely in use this
year.
Most refrigerators are 28 inches
deep. They may protrude a bit outside, but with proper remodeling, these refrigerators
will look classy. There are several types of counter-depth refrigerators: the
French door type, the bottom-freezer type and side-by-side type. Each type has
its own benefits. Companies have improved their technology and made these
refrigerators more user friendly and energy efficient.
Apart from these new trends, there
are a few more, which missed the cut in being ‘the most explored remodeling
trends’. They include innovations in mudrooms, color combinations, geometric
patterns, garage makeover, entrance upgrades, indoor greenery, words on your
walls, outdoor type showers and so on.
Now that you have a snapshot of hot
remodeling trends in 2017, you can contact your experienced remodeling contractor for specifics and options
that suit your house best. You can follow these trends or think of creating
your own blend that people will be reading about soon as trendy!
