Open Spaces will continue to dominate the wishes of homeowners far beyond the young hipster demographic and we will increasingly see this layout in traditional condo buildings and suburban single-family homes in 2015. Which brings me to Trend #2: Porcelain Floors With all this space youll want to create a cohesive flow from one area to the next. What better way to do this than with porcelain tiles. Whats trending right now and will continue to be a popular option in 2015 is the porcelain tiles that look like wood. It’s way less expensive than real hardwood, even imitation wood, and it wears as well as, or better than the real thing. An excellent option for use in those wide open spaces and high-traffic areas we mentioned earlier, or in areas that are exposed to moisture. Yes! Even on the walls of a bathroom. Available in many colors and textures, including popular one-color combos with slight variations for a hint of differentiation, these linear porcelain planks from afar actually look like real wood. Even more exciting is a brand I discovered named Fontanella™ by Marazzi. Where two decidedly hot design trends seamlessly come together. A random mixture of stone and wood with a visual medley of color. Home Depot carries a nice selection. Some of you from the West + East coasts, and Canada may have already seen this over the last several years. Here in the Midwest weve seen them on home shows and more recently in stores. Trends tend to take a few years to arrive here in the heartland, and are now just becoming mainstream and I have to say I am thrilled. I think this trend will continue to be around for some time. TIP: For those of you thinking of selling but are in need of doing some upgrades, this is one place to save some money, and a good option to consider to attract todays homebuyers. Whether your doing a complete makeover, reno, or building a new home choosing the hard finishes can be overwhelming. What color cabinets, wall and floor tiles go with what? Especially when youve deceided to keep and work with some of the exsisting elelments in the home to save on cost. This is where alot of home owners unfortunately make mistakes. With the help of my expertise I can save you both time + money. Need a consultation or have a question? info@interiorinvite See comments below for links to explore...
