We should attempt to bring nature, houses, and human beings together in a higher unity.
- Mies van der Rohe
The Big C got us all thinking about how we can live our best lives at home. And with the economy doing its best impression of a roller coaster, a LendingTree survey found that a whopping 72% of homeowners are more interested in upgrading their humble abodes than selling them. Why not make the most of where we are, right?!
So, since we're in it for the long haul, let's consider some emerging home design trends that might help you embrace that space you call home sweet home.
Go au naturel Clean lines and neutral, minimalist interiors are out. Harken the principles of biophilic design, which Space Refinery defines as incorporating nature into our living and workspaces. Think more light, plants and nature-inspired colors and patterns.
Perfect your terrain to entertain Along with upgrades to guest and common areas, homeowners are throwing their doors open wide to the outside. Extend your living space beyond the walls of your home and enjoy more fresh air by converting a bank of windows into a patio door or by expanding a small door opening into a larger, more luxurious threshold to your backyard oasis.
Add to or repurpose your space Windows and doors play an important role in creating productive working and learning spaces that are quiet and comfortable. High quality ProVia and Marvin replacement windows, installed correctly, control your home's indoor temperature and dampen outside noise pollution considerably better than their worn-out predecessors. Is it time to add windows to the dark former she shed you've been officing in? Or does your man cave need a door now that you zoom on both your treadmill and the computer in there (with or without a wardrobe change in between)?
Windura can help you create peace with new windows, as well as enviable views with an expansive Marvin Bi-Fold door. Give us a call at (913) 362-3872 or click below to schedule an in-home consultation.
