During the past five years, the trend for clean lines, contemporary styles plus both cool and vibrant colours have dominated home improvement projects.
Bathrooms have become wetrooms or baths have been replaced by walk-in showers.
KITCHENS
This is most obvious in kitchens where, apart from timeless shaker units and a few country farmhouse kitchens, lines are sleek and sometimes curved, door finishes are often glossy and there is a plethora of side-by-side ovens in tall units with plus 'must have' kitchen islands.
GLASS DOORS & NATURAL LIGHT
A lantern roof for large extensions and full glass patio doors
which facilitate as much daylight as possible are the 'WOW' factor of
many homes now, from small terraced houses to large detached abodes. The
sleek lines afforded by aluminium frames are popular for such doors,
eclipsing PVC (except on price) and timber frames (where a traditional
look is desired).
In
some radical renovations, radiators have been thrown in the skip (or,
better still, recycled by scrap metal merchants) and replaced by
underfloor heating.
