Call it a new set of trends or a change in the zeitgeist, there’s no denying that homeowners’ tastes in remodeling features change every few years. In today’s post, local interior remodeling company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest DC takes a look at some of the features that are often found in our clients’ wishlists.
Sustainability
With more people becoming aware of the benefits of sustainability, it has become more than just a buzzword — the number of homeowners who seek eco-friendly features are steadily increasing. Features like low-flow bathroom and kitchen features, appliances with ENERGY STAR® ratings, and sustainably-sourced materials like bamboo top the list of such features.
Smart Home Systems
Smart home systems have come a long way from basic security cameras and single-cycle thermostats. More devices are becoming easier to integrate with smart home systems that homeowners have an increasing number of compatible devices that cater to their specific needs. Home theater systems are compatible with more brands of wireless speakers, allowing for a more immersive experience at home. A typical kitchen quote would have devices like smart grills, refrigerators, and coffeemakers, all of which ensure close monitoring of food temperatures.
Indoor-Outdoor Integration
The past few years of being stuck indoors have underscored the value of outdoor spaces. We have seen an uptick in features that integrate the outdoors into homeowners’ living spaces. In addition to the ever-popular covered decks and patios, California rooms (which we have discussed in a recent blog) and installation of plants and other outdoor elements in indoor spaces are becoming more popular.
Home Offices
Working from home is here to stay, and more homeowners are adding a home office, or at least a dedicated working space, to their remodeling wishlists. Today’s home offices don’t need to be as formal or require a large space like their traditional counterparts. It could be a small partitioned space in the bedroom or a converted broom closet, or even an unused in-law suite.
Every homeowner has a unique set of items on their wishlist. This is why we at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest DC take a personalized approach with every client, making sure that it’s what they wanted. After all, while remodeling is our job, we never forget that it’s our clients’ homes.
