4 Future Trends That Will Add Value To Your Naperville Luxury Home
To put it in simple terms, the future of Naperville
luxury homes and traditional homes will include efficiency, health and
sophisticated appliances -- all elements that will evolve into standard
features in every luxury home.
According to HouseLogic writer, Deirdre Sullivan,
here are 4 emerging home trends predicted to be most valued 25 years from now:
Extreme
Energy Efficiency
As we see today, utility bills, the environment, a
general love of nature and a plethora of other reasons are causing a lot of
people - high and low-income alike, to implement energy-efficient solutions in
their homes. I previously covered ‘green-living’ in my article about LEED
certification in How to Boost Your Naperville Luxury Home's Resale Value
- in it, I pointed out the many measures luxury homeowners are putting into
place to ensure environment sustainability. The trend has influenced the
home appliance industry as well with many of our washers, dryers, etc. bearing
the ‘Energy Star’.
In the next 25 years, utility bills are expected to
drastically increase, resulting in more efforts into using sustainable or
renewable energy and green households. Waterless toilets will most likely
become a household standard in the future since residential water rates in the
U.S. are rising and 27% of our total water use is from toilets. High tech water
purification systems that can recycle waste water into drinking water will also
be a big trend in the future. The orbital shower is a good example of this
since it saves 90% of the water and 80% of the energy used. This saves the
homeowner as much as $1,000 off their energy bills every year.
Back-up
Power
A back-up power generator might seem like a trend
but it is a part of life for people who live in remote areas. A friend
who lived in the Shenandoah Mountains in Virginia talked about how amazing it
was that power and water would fail for days in the extreme winter months but
their back-up generators allowed them to keep warm, bathe, cook and help their
neighbors! With power bills increasing and extreme weather conditions
causing power outages, homeowners in more central areas are adding back-up
power sources like whole-house generators to supplement their needs.
Indoor
Gardens
I read a report by Fortune Magazine recently stating
that McDonald’s sales have dwindled worldwide. The reason behind it is because
people are becoming more health-conscious. Also, the US market is now
choosing to buy organic food more because of negative impact of pesticides and
genetically modified food.
The desire to eat healthier organic food will
continue in the future. This will make indoor gardens a staple for most
households. Hydroponic gardens allow Naperville Luxury homeowners to create a
farm-to-table experience in the comfort of their own kitchens. Aside from the
convenience it offers, urban farming also combats increasing food prices and
reduces the carbon footprint of transporting food.
The desire to eat healthier, better-tasting food is
a trend that is currently in full play and will only increase in the future.
Sophisticated
Appliances and Fixtures
Today, we have technology like *XFINITY® Home, a
futuristic security system that you can activate or deactivate through an app
on your smartphone or tablet.
In the not too distant future, it won’t be all about
smartphone app-controlled features, but appliances that work harder and smarter
and make life easier. Faucets in the future may not just dispense water but
also ice, other beverages, and even vitamins! Kitchen sinks can double as
dishwashers. Future laundry machines will clean and fold clothing into
compact-sized pellets that will allow users to carry several outfits in a
single bag or purse.
If you remember a cartoon called The Jetsons, you
might have an idea of what we’re talking about!
If you are planning to resell your Naperville
Luxury, consider incorporating these trends to make your home more valuable in
the future.
