Home remodeling trends are always changing, but they can be a good source of inspiration for what you can incorporate into your upcoming home remodel. Read on as DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of The Woodlands looks at some of these emerging trends.

1. Home automation. Home automation products are becoming more sophisticated. Most smart home systems allow control over the lights, the thermostat, and home security — all with just a few taps on a smartphone. Automation takes tasks like manually adjusting the heating cooling systems and adjusting house lights off your hands. It can also give you peace of mind with systems like motion sensors, home cameras, and remote-controlled door locks.

2. Sustainable home materials. Using sustainable materials for building and remodeling does more than make your home more eco-friendly. A key element of sustainability is longevity, which means sustainable materials have long life spans and require repairs and replacement less frequently. On the environmental side, it gives resources more time for replenishment, or at least helps slow down depletion of non-replenishable resources like quarries. It also helps reduce the rate local landfills get filled. You can work with your interior remodeling contractor in choosing sustainable materials for your next remodel.

4. Open floor plans. If your home has a traditional floor plan, consider taking the interior walls down and turning it into an open floor plan. In addition to creating a visually spacious home, an open floor plan can provide the flexibility of movement between rooms, as well the capability to change your living spaces according to your lifestyle.

5. Outdoor living spaces. Pergolas, fire pits and seating areas are just some examples of how you can extend your living areas and enjoy outdoor living without leaving your home. You can make your outdoor living space as personal or private as you want, or as a space for entertaining friends and family. If you’re unsure of how you will design your outdoor living space, a good general contracting and remodeling designer can help.
