1. Quartz Countertops – Quartz has experienced a huge increase over the past few years because it is durable and more affordable.
2. Smart Homes – While it’s still a niche, it can be appealing to buyers and convenient for home owners.
3. Stainless Steel Appliances – This trend is here to stay and is a very safe home improvement bet.
4. Fire Pits – This helps turn backyard space into extended living space.
5. Tasting Rooms – A transformation from old wine cellars to tasking rooms that are adjacent to the main socializing rooms of the home.
6. Outdoor Kitchens – Like the fire pit, these expand the living space and give additional entertainment space.
