Recent trends indicate that people are becoming conservative while they plan about home remodeling. However, conservative doesn't mean cheap. But it means to think necessary, simple and comfortable. Some current trends that are dictating the industry are listed below.
People are opting for smaller bathrooms than lavish master baths. They tend to take out the tub from the master bathroom and put in showers. Coming to the design part, tile is becoming more patterned and frameless shower doors are gaining in popularity.

People tend to utilize the basement area for specialty spaces like exercise rooms, play areas etc. Overall design of the house is becoming simpler with clean, straight lines and neutral colors.
