According to CBS MoneyWatch the top 12 remodeling trends for 2011 are …
1. Remodeling bathrooms because they are less expensive than kitchens. And if you don’t have money for a complete remodel you can still repaint or wallpaper, replace hardware faucets and knobs plus light fixtures to update your space.
Don’t you just love this Sanibel CoastalReef tile with shelves for candles pictured above?
2. Must Do Remodeling Projects
3. Warming Up The House by picking warmer inviting colors in earthy organic styles with a little contemporary flair.
Other top trends for 2011 I always recommend as an interior designer include opening up rooms in an existing house, creating a place to relax plus planning ahead for our needs (Universal Design) as we age.
Before you begin, though, don’t forget one of the other top trends this year of selecting a great contractor. And NARI (National Association of The Remodeling Industry) offers a brochure you can download on on selecting a great contractor click here to go to their website.
