Trends in Bathroom and Kitchen Designs
In a quarterly Home Design Trend Survey, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) determined the latest trends in kitchen and bath features and products. Here are their findings:
Bathrooms
- Larger bathrooms and more of them
- Upscale showers, including multihead showers, steam showers, separate his-and-her showers and walk-in showers with no doors for better accessibility
- Double sinks or multiple vanities
- Heated floors, heated towel racks, towel-warming drawers and fireplaces
- Decreasing in popularity: heat lamps and whirlpool baths
Kitchens
- Larger kitchens and more of them throughout the home, including a separate food storage facility, food preparation area or outdoor kitchen
- More pantry space
- Upper-end appliances
- Integrated living areas near the kitchen such as a family room
- Natural stone countertops and natural wood cabinets
- Drinking water filtration systems
How does your kitchen or bath stand-up to these latest trends?
Be sure to choose your remodeling projects wisely - not all remodels will provide the return on investment when selling your home!
