Your home is your sanctuary. You should always feel good whenever you’re in it. However, if your home is starting to look outdated or cluttered, you’ll often feel uninspired. Start the New Year right with a change of environment. Plan your remodeling projects using the following tips:
Low upkeep outdoor materials
Natural stone will still be a big trend in 2020, however, for elements like pavers, large and simple ones will replace ornate trends of the past. Composite decking is as always a popular choice for its longevity and low maintenance. Corten steel will make a return. As a material that requires little maintenance and develops a beautiful rust-like appearance over time, it fits in perfectly with the overarching theme of home trends of 2020 – simple, lived-in and warm.

Environmentally friendly options
2019 has seen awareness around eco-friendly, green and sustainable materials and practices grow substantially, so expect to find biomaterials in homes in 2020, such as building supplies made from recycled products or ethically sourced materials, and homewares designed with an environmentally-friendly mindset.

Climate change-ready
Extreme weather patterns are spurring more homeowners to invest in disaster-resistant home improvements. “Eighty-two percent of millennials are anxious about how climate change will affect their children’s quality of life,” explains Suzanne Shelton, president and CEO of the Shelton Group, a marketing firm that specializes in sustainability.

Smart homes
One trend that will continue into 2020 is arguably becoming the new norm: If people are installing it in their homes, chances are it connects to Wi-Fi. Stephen Ferrara of Compass Real Estate in New York City points to products such as Sonos speakers, Nest thermostats, and Amazon Echo voice assistants as affordable examples of smart technology.
“Technology will continue to shape how people renovate,” he says. “Something as simple as a $20 smart plug used in conjunction with the app gives you full control over lighting without having to even be home.” Source: Blog.Cheapism
