2008 Design Trends

REALTOR magazine recently featured a few of the interior and exterior trends for 2008. Here are a few suggestions if you are stuck for new design ideas: Reduced Carbon Footprint --saving energy and money is not only trendy, but smart! Outdoor Living --Cozy stone fireplaces, outdoor kitchens and built-in grills are all ways to take the inside out and enjoy the outdoors. Fully Concealed Appliances --instead of just wood panels, many appliances are behind hinged doors. Home Elevators --not just for high-end homes anymore. Pet Showers --made part of a garage or mudroom, keeps dirty pets from making a dirty house. Freestanding Bathtubs --homeowners are leaning more towards soaking tubs rather than whirlpool tubs. Bathroom Suites --complete with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges and coffee makers. Reprinted from REALTOR magazine by permission of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS. Copyright 2008.
