Predictions for top home trends
Smart homes
Smart-home technology can add convenience and security to your home. Cameras, alarm systems, automated thermostats, entertainment systems and smart locks are just a few of the choices.
You can select a few gadgets or integrate an entire smart-home system that will run just about everything in your home. The cost ranges greatly depending on how much you want to control and integrate.
Although there have been recent local news reports of high-jacked security cameras or other technology issues, proper use is key. There are security measures and precautions you can take to help keep your equipment secure. Be sure you know the right way to use the equipment to avoid problems.
Outdoor living
Outdoor living has always been popular in Southwest Florida, at least when the temperature is nice. Other parts of the country are starting to expand their outdoor living spaces as well. Many are creating outdoor living rooms and kitchens so they have to spend very little time indoors. The outdoor living space is just as important as the interior.
Creating a comfortable outdoor living space can be as simple as getting new patio furniture and rearranging the area or more extensive such as building an outdoor kitchen. It all depends on your budget and your lifestyle. You can even continue your smart home technology system to the outside.
Custom features
Many homeowners are opting for custom features. Homeowners want homes tailored to meet their needs and lifestyle. That often means custom home design, custom cabinets and special features. This not only improves the functionality for the homeowner but also provides a luxury look.
If you aren’t a design expert, don’t worry. The company you choose for any remodeling or home improvement projects should be able to help with design. You can also hire an interior designer or other expert. To schedule a free consultation, call 239-331-5610 or schedule online.
