Top Home Renovation and Interior Design Trends Of 2018


Home renovation can be costly and time consuming, but it is perhaps the best way to improve your lifestyle while adding value to your property. You get the chance to add a touch of your own creativity and aesthetic to the structure of your current home.  

Here’s a list of the top trends of 2018 in home renovation and interior design:

1. Eco-Friendly Roofing

Environment friendly remodeling was one of the hottest trends of 2018, and among those that are here to stay. Due to urban heat island effect, temperatures within cities reached an all-time high this year. This led to the rise of ‘Horticulture roofing’ or green roofs. Although this option can only be executed on certain roofs which meet the criteria, green roofs play a huge role in mitigating the heat flux that would otherwise enter your living space. 

2. Patterned Bathroom Floors

The idea of adding geometric patterns to bathroom floor tiles might be overwhelming to some, but it is a great way to spruce up an old bathroom. Bold, bright patterned tiles give a more welcoming and modern vibe which is why they were such a hugely popular floor tiling option this year. 

3. Vintage Kitchens

Retro kitchens are all the rage in 2018! Rich, saturated colors have found their way back into the kitchens through colorful cabinetry and metal banded countertops. Shades of green, blue and violet have been the most popular choice of color for kitchens this year.

4. Accessibility Accommodations

Aging brings with itself a new set of challenges. According to recent research, more than 44% of population aged 65 or older require some kind of home accessibility feature to carry out everyday tasks. And with the aging-in-place movement in full swing, more and more people are remodeling their homes to make them more accessible for elderly. This could include installation of handrails and widening of hallways and corridors.  

5. Exquisite Basements

Basements were once considered to be nothing more than extra storage space, but homeowners now find the idea of remodeling their basement to be an extension to their home.

Basement remodeling is a great way to add extra living space to your current structure without having to spend more money on construction.

Swimming Pool Trends you’ll want to try in 2018

Image
Back in the day, most swimming pools were of a standard built. No luxurious designs or cool lighting fixtures; just a rectangle full of water, with perhaps a diving board if you wanted to be a little fancy. Cut to 2018: swimming pools are now as majestic as an Ancient Roman water bath. From infinity pools to multi-level masterpieces, swimming pools sure have taken a leap ! These are the hottest swimming pool design trends to keep in mind for 2018.  Dark Interior Pool Finish Standard swimming pools are usually of a light interior finish that gives off a cooler and more reflective appearance. But nowadays, the tides have shifted towards a more dark-toned pool interior to create a more relaxing and laid-back ambience.  Dark interiors can make a pool look more like a natural body of water—such as a pond—than an actual swimming pool. That’s because natural lagoons and lakes are of a deeper color such as dark blue and sea green rather than the slightly artificial cool ...

Exterior Paint for Homes – What are Your Options?

Image
When it comes to choosing a paint product to paint the exterior of your house, the type of paint finish forms the most important consideration as it significantly impacts the final result (for better or worse). Most manufacturers today offer exterior paints in three main types of paint finishes: gloss, flat and satin. Let’s take a look at each of these paint finishes and understand what paint job they are best suited to. Gloss Finish Gloss paints offer a shiny (glossy) finish to the painted surface. They are the toughest of the three exterior paints and also the easiest to clean. However, they are only meant to be used sparingly in exterior paint jobs. Why so, you ask? The reason is gloss paints tend to make painted surfaces stand out by reflecting lots of light off it. So if the surface even has a minor flaw, it can get highly magnified thanks to the accenting nature of these paints. Recommendation: Gloss finish paints are best suited for painting windows, doors, do...
