Interior Home Remodeling Trends Are Changing How We Live
What better time to think about home remodeling as visions of daffodils and tulips dance in our heads. After being homebound for months, your home might need renovation for more functionality and comfort post pandemic. Home remodeling trends have speedily shifted both psychologically and physically in how we live and work during COVID19.
To feel more comfortable in their homes during COVID19, homeowners are expanding, rearranging floor plans. The NKBA – ‘Kitchen & Bath Market Outlook Update,’ Changes In Homeowner Behavior During COVID indicates one-in-four homeowners want to renovate. That is to say, a dedicated home office or increased functionality of a dream kitchen, bathroom, or desiring a master suite!

“The past is gone. It’s not coming back. This is a ‘be here now’ moment. We need to rebuild our companies, our organizations, and ultimately rebuild our home to better suit evolving COVID19 conditions.”
COVID19 Trends in Renovation
Working from home has become a part of our daily lives; a dedicated home office now has a significant role as a permanent space. Consequently, areas for children to play and do school work also need planning. But the most impacted areas of our homes are the kitchen & bathroom. Is there a decentralized kitchen in our future with a vegetable & herb garden within?
Home trends come and go, but social distancing and staying at home have ushered in a new way-of-life. Most likely to stick around well past the COVID-19 era. More practical, infinitely more comfortable, and more functional have become more critical. a
“These COVID19 times have brought about a demand for a more functional kitchen. A kitchen with sophisticated luxury surfaces that are maintenance-free but still look and feel high-end. People love to cook, but they hate to clean. A primary reason stone-like porcelain, engineered & sintered stone have become increasingly popular. In short, these architectural stone materials have unique stain & impact-resistant properties and are easily maintained,” states Gurri Founder Sami Kelmendi

Stone Material Remodeling Trends Beyond Nature
Today’s technological advances in ceramic product production have now re-captured the beauty of marble. Engineered and sintered stone selections can have a similar appearance to natural stone but are nonporous and maintenance-free. Manufacturers like Porcelanosa, Neolith, Cosentino & Lapitec have developed the next generation of stone. Kelmendi continues,
“Standing up to the demands of daily life and germaphobia, we see these materials requested beyond kitchens and baths. For example, requests for decorative-décor in hallways, foyers, flooring, living rooms, and fireplace surrounds.”
Also, antiviral, anti-microbial product innovations had already gained popularity pre COVID19. More efficient architectural surface materials keep our spaces sanitary and give homeowners/ businesses peace of mind in this pandemic environment. For example, see Technology & Stone – Creating More Architectural Surface Choices.
Home Remodeling Incorporates Wellness Technology Into The Connected Home
Healthier spaces and the latest kitchen/bath technology lead the way in popular home remodeling trends. This years’ Consumer Electronics (CES) & The National Kitchen & Bath’s KBIS viral trade shows prominently displayed connected home products. From self-sanitizing door handles to smart-toilets and mechanical–HVAC-filtration, non-touch/voice-activated fixtures, and appliances that talk to each other.
Storage and organization are huge, as is rearranging floor layouts to element fluff spaces used a few times a year. Is incorporating a package delivery space in front of the house in your future? Are you bringing nature into your home, Biophilia? Research suggests plants, even nature, forests, running water on plasma screens impact health and emotional well-being.
As we continue to spend more time at home, we become overly-familiar with the four walls surrounding us. Many have discovered/rediscovered the importance of a space that is reflective of oneself and also acts as a sanctuary. That is where Gurri Remodel & Installation can be helpful. We know times are stressful, but what better way to reflect on a new future than refresh your home.
This Is One Of Those Moments In Time That Results In A Shift In How We Work, Live & Play
COVID19 fundamentally changed how we live and seemingly will outlast the pandemic, continuing to push us into the future. Further, it’s happening at warp speed, and technology enables these changes from beginning to end. a
