Remodeling design trends for luxury homeowners have changed…instead of thinking «bigger,» they are choosing to think «smarter.» When renovating, their motivation is not only to update the look and feel of their home, but also to improve the overall comfort and performance of these spaces to meet the changing needs of these lifestyles. The top decorating magazines of the moment have already caught on to this trend, and if you check out the top lifestyle magazine of the ‘in’ crowd you’ll see that we’re not lying. Here are approaches to incorporating some of these changes:
Grand Entrances
Nothing says “welcome home” a lot more than being greeted by the grand entrance! Stately covered porticos, columns, circular stone drive-ups etc. are not only an artistic upgrade towards the home, but a financial one as well. This sort of renovation will add as much as 10% towards the price of the house.
Interior and Exterior Gourmet Kitchens
These areas are considered to be the “heart” of your home where relatives and buddies add up. They must be made to accommodate the homeowners desire to entertain on a grand scale, both formally and informally. By building energy efficient and sustainable appliance packages and also the latest wood, metal and stone finishes, you’ll be able to create a beautiful space to fulfill the multiple needs of most people who find themselves surviving in the property.
Outdoor Living Areas
Optional outdoor liveable space will enlarge the effective living area of the home, and can be easily renovated, going for a home from ordinary… to extraordinary! Pools, cabanas, bars, spas, recreational courts, fire bowl seating areas etc. These are some of the most popular design trends and amenities that offer luxury homeowners using a lifestyle, not really a home.
Master Bedroom/Bath Suites
The Bradenton area will frequently add a library/sitting room, as well as a dramatic master bath where luxury homeowners can retreat for being both mentally and physically rejuvenated. Doorless, multi-headed shower enclosures, whirlpool baths and saunas, towel warming drawers and racks… these are simply many of the ways in which through awareness of individual customized design detailing the “spa experience” can be carried out at home. Note: Having two master bedroom/bath suites has changed into a popular remodeling request on account of accommodating changing lifestyles, i.e. live-in parents, adult children etc.
Individual Home business office Suites
Because technology, the internet and wireless communications have transformed our way of life, this renovation is considered to be a “must-have” by many. Luxury homeowners view individual in-home office suites for their personal headquarters to keep connected and manage their busy lives.
Entertainment/Flex Areas
Together with the many technological advancements which have been made, the therapy lamp has replaced the classic “living room” of yesterday, and has ended up being the “hub” nowadays to a family event and friends of all ages to collect. Superior multichannel in the touch of a button makes home theaters widely used, and simpler to use than ever before.
These “smart” remodeling design trends and amenities are already built to improve quality lifestyle… and meet the diversified and changing lifestyle needs which are more discriminating homeowner.
