In terms of bathrooms...<br />
the same principles apply: while you wait<br />
to fully renovate, make small changes<br />
that can have a big impact. Incorporate<br />
a unique mirror (or even a full-mirrored<br />
wall), illuminate with luxe lighting, or<br />
introduce some wooden accents. Along<br />
with natural materials in general, wood<br />
is an on-trend element, with its ability<br />
to add warmth and juxtapose the<br />
typically cold, sterile look of bathrooms.<br />
Wood look tiles are a chic option, as are<br />
wood accent walls. Always popular in<br />
bathrooms are space-saving options such<br />
as built-in niches, above-door shelving<br />
or even simple wall hooks. For those<br />
interested in a larger bathroom remodel,<br />
consider incorporating a floating sink or<br />
freestanding soaking tub. And remember:<br />
the bathroom is a place for self-care,<br />
and today’s bathroom should provide you<br />
with a serene, spa-like experience (hello,<br />
heated floors).<br />
Outdoor living continues...<br />
to be popular. “All-season rooms, patios,<br />
and other outdoor living projects add<br />
value to a home and are great resale features<br />
and definitely worth the wait. After<br />
all, they are an extension of your home,<br />
which you have a new appreciation for.<br />
Your little getaway out back may include<br />
an amenity-filled outdoor kitchen, fire<br />
feature and pool. You may also opt for<br />
incorporating some smart technology,<br />
ambient lighting and a garden.<br />
There’s no time like the present...<br />
to reassess your kitchen, bathrooms and<br />
outdoor living space, especially with<br />
remodeling loans at particularly low<br />
rates. And though some remodelers are<br />
booking over a year out, use this time<br />
to set a budget, research remodelers,<br />
gather ideas, earmark photos of designs<br />
you like, and reflect on the past year in<br />
terms of how your home worked for you.<br />
