Real Estate Tip – Hot Home Trends for 2018
The new year is a great time to update your living space!
It’s fun to follow the latest home and garden trends, especially if you’re hoping to make your home more attractive to buyers. Here are a few of the latest trends to look out for:
- Shedquarters – A “shedquarter” is a private, backyard spot that can be used as an office, artist workspace or party area.
- Docking Stations – Small, pull down desks can be added almost anywhere as wireless technology enables us to shift away from traditional home offices.
- Vintage Vanities – Putting your bathroom sink on just about anything is huge this year! Old dressers, filing cabinets and even tree trunks can be converted into unique vanities.
- Laundry Love – Homeowners are giving their laundry rooms some serious love with innovative storage solutions, bright lighting and even stylish wallpaper!
- Foodscaping – Instead of traditional vegetable patches, backyards are now being transformed into edible landscapes that include vegetables, berries, fruits and herbs.
- Smart Windows – Cutting edge window technology now allows our windows to be programmed according to the weather outside as well as the air quality inside.
Just like fashion, home trends can come and go so it’s important not to overcommit. Hopefully these ideas have given you some inspiration as to what’s coming next, whether you’re thinking of selling or just simply looking to update your home.
