2014 Home Design Trends For Your Naperville Luxury Real Estate
2014 is here and home design trends are emerging. According
to Ilyce Glink, an award-winning real estate columnist and host of
Expert Real Estate Tips, this year’s design trends are all about
high-efficiency and durability. “You’ll see
appliance-makers embracing the open concept kitchen by making their appliances
more invisible. You’ll see more elements of the home designed to be accessible
across multiple generations,” she wrote. If you want your Naperville luxury real estate
to be in fashion, here are this year’s 5 latest home design trends:
1. The Open Kitchen Concept. In the past, the standard house plan had the kitchen separated
from the living room. But this practice is now being replaced as more and more
Americans are embracing the open kitchen concept. Homeowners and buyers are
looking for spaces that maximize their ability to gather and relax with friends
and families.
2. Neutral Colors Are In. Say
goodbye to bright colors as neutral palettes continue to be in fashion this
year. Sandy tones and gray tones are also very popular. Use bold colors in
small details such as throw pillows and art decor.
3. Universal Design is Now In Demand. The concept of universal design, utilizing and designing home
space with aging users in mind, is now in demand. As more and more homeowners
prefer their homes to accommodate them as they age, homes are now designed to
meet their needs. Designs such as putting the master bedroom on the first floor
and substituting levers with knobs are getting popular.
4. Goodbye Granite, Hello Quartz. While granite was the most popular countertop material, quartz is
slowly taking its place. Factory engineered quartz has the same look and feel
as granite but it is more practical, durable and easier to clean.
5. Energy Efficient and Water Saving Appliances become
Standard. Homeowners are choosing energy saving appliances and
devices. Touchless faucets and high-efficiency showerheads are among the latest
trends.
