From the far off land of Massachusetts comes this nice look at some current trends in home remodeling and interior design. Take a look and learn a little about how technology, organization, and quality spaces are driving choices in renovation.

MacPhee specializes in transforming people’s living spaces, and she said that while designing interiors has always inherently been about personal style, she’s seen an increase in “personalization.” She said that people are increasingly into hi-tech and seek custom solutions to fit their new tastes, such as smart technology.
“All the lights and technology in your home can be personalized and put on your iPhone or iPad, and you can be in control of your home from wherever you are,” she said.
When it comes to the kitchen, MacPhee said it’s all about convenience.
“People don’t want to just replace things. They want solutions,” she said. MacPhee said she’s seen an increase in technology in the kitchen, with appliances such as the German-made steam oven that lets you program personalized meal plans. Large kitchen islands may also have built-in extras, like seats.
“More convenient” and “less fussy” are the trends, she said, which is also true of the color palettes people are choosing. Clean lines are in, and while classic neutral palettes of black, white, and grays will never go out of style, people are incorporating splashes of color, leaning toward their personal tastes.
