Home decor designs have changed enormously over the last few decades and these days products like freestanding stone baths and grand farmhouse kitchen sinks are designed to not only improve a room aesthetically, but also to add value to the home. With so many products to pick from, it can be confusing to know which items will give you the best return on your investment financially, so it is worthwhile doing research before purchasing to ensure your home not only looks good, but will always reach the best possible price in the event you want to sell.
Researchers found that in most Western countries there has been a decline in usable square footage since the turn of the century. Features such as high ceilings and two stories are also a declining trend - this could largely be down to the continually rising cost of keeping a home warm. Surveys have found that people are also making the most of previously unused spaces such as attics and basements and converting them into offices or bedrooms.
Another trend that cannot be ignored is that people are now going more for casual open spaces rather than fixed-sized smaller rooms. It appears that generally people want more accessibility without the formality.
Arguably, the kitchen and bathroom are the most important rooms in a home. In fact making sure that these rooms are in great condition can be the deciding factor in your home selling or not. There are also thousands of options available for these two rooms so it is important to make the right choice when remodeling either the kitchen or bathroom.
Kitchen
When redoing a kitchen, you will need to give a lot of consideration to the countertops. Installing beautiful elegant countertops can make even a standard kitchen appear to be something special. Nowadays many people are opting for quartz or granite countertops as they are extremely durable, and they look fabulous. Even cutting produce with sharp knives on a granite countertop will not harm it; so your countertops are likely to look just as great when you consider selling a few years down the line than they do today you install them.
Large farmhouse sinks are very practice for the kitchen and a growing trend. You will find them made from diverse materials such as copper, cast-iron and even concrete. Needless to say these sinks will last for decades without the need to replace them, and are a great way of adding value to your home.
The cabinets are another important aspect of the kitchen. Many homes in Australia are opting for open shelving as opposed to closed kitchen cupboards. However if you choose this type of storage you will need to change your habits somewhat if you tend to be untidy and throw everything into a cabin willy-nilly. Clutter does not look good in a kitchen with open cabinets.
Bathroom
Rather than choosing regular a rectangular bathtub standing against one wall, many Australian homeowners are now opting for freestanding baths. Aesthetically these are a great option and they tend to be far more comfortable and offer a more relaxing bathing experience than standard bathtubs.
One great choice of freestanding tower is being . This bathtub is big enough for two people to bathe at once, and being made of solid stone it looks completely out of this world.
The only thing you need to give consideration to before buying such a contemporary freestanding tub like the Saba 1500mm freestanding solid stone bathis that the structure of your house is strong enough to withstand the weight.
