Here’s two great questions to ask yourself. How much better your home would be to live in with a few upgrades? Would seeing the latest home remodelling trends in your property make you feel great? There’s no time like the present to start on some home renovations and improve the quality of your life. Let’s get cracking!
Top 5 home remodelling trends you won’t want to miss
Creating more space
There’s been an increase in homeowners wanting to knock down walls to create open plan living, especially in older homes.
Removing walls will open up your home and create a new look and feel without needing new construction!
It helps rooms naturally flow into each other, while spreading sunlight around. The most popular option is to knock down walls between the kitchen and adjoining rooms, such as the lounge or dining rooms.
It’s important to hire a qualified tradesperson from Builderscrack for wall demolition, especially if it’s a load-bearing wall. You’ll also need to identify if building consent is required.
Personalise your living spaces
Custom remodelling is very well-liked and homeowners are selecting projects to make their homes more functional.
The latest trends include special stations for charging electronics such as phones and laptops, storage spaces and built-ins.
Personalised organisation such as message centers for a busy family, customised pot drawers for the ‘chef’ or under-cabinet lighting are also very popular.
The key is to choose ideas which are functional, designed well and pleasing to the eye.
Walk-in shower and master bath
Kitchen renovation has been popular for years, but homeowners are now investing in remodelling their bathrooms.
Currently the big trend in master bathrooms is a large walk-in shower, using frameless glass while sitting flush with the floor.
This will complement a stand-alone bath tub, making the best use of often limited bathroom space.
Regardless of the size of your next bathroom project, Builderscrack can connect you with highly rated tradespeople in your area.
Create a home office
A home office is one of the most popular home remodelling trends and is a real asset to any family whether you’re self-employed, work a lot of overtime or want a place to pay the bills and organise the kids activities from.
Whatever the reason, you need home office space!
Creating a home office doesn’t have to mean permanent changes. It’s as simple as reworking an existing spare bedroom. You may need an electrician to install some additional power points or a handyman to install some shelving, or you can go all out with a full interior redesign.
Making the most of your back garden
You don’t need to spend a lot of money, to create a beautiful yard you’ll enjoy spending time in. In 2013 and 2014 home remodelling trends include nice landscaping and a few new or up-cycled pieces of outdoor furniture.
Then you’ll have a great place to hang out and relax while the kids play!
The smartest garden and backyard home remodelling trends will opt for renovations that don’t require much ongoing maintenance.
This way, your free time and funds won’t be spent on slaving away in a garden you should be relaxing in and enjoying!
