Let’s face it: Americans have come to appreciate the homes they are in, giving up the “trading-up” mentality that dominated not so long ago. And this is a healthy transition, as we learn to appreciate what we have and invest in our homes to make them even better.
Remodeling dollars are precious, and homeowners want to direct those dollars where they will make the biggest impact: rooms that are most used, rooms where guests are entertained and rooms where family gathers. What that translates to is an uptick in remodeling kitchens and baths. What do clients want for their investment? They want something personal and unique. They want a design that is functional but fun to live with.
