February 8, 2005 - The remodeling industry is booming! Homeowners spent over a billion dollars to remodel their homes last year. Rising home values and lifestyle changes have played a major part in the home improvement craze.
The latest trends in remodeling are:
* Comfort colors - Natural shades are increasingly popular.
* Large kitchens - The average size of a kitchen is growing. It used to be a place to prepare and eat meals. Now it's the focal point of the home.
* Luxury bathrooms - Sumptuous details such as granite floors and counters, spa-like tubs with whirlpools, and televisions make bathrooms an indulgence.
* Laundry rooms - No longer just for dirty clothes, they can be a status symbol complete with high-tech appliances. The space is even used for crafts or as a mudroom.
* Specialty rooms - Trendy "extra rooms" can be custom-designed as wine cellars, media rooms, libraries or gyms.
Regardless of current trends or hot new design ideas, the goal of remodeling is to make your home a comfortable and functional place to live, ideal for your lifestyle.
