(Family Features) As America's economy strengthens, remodeling and home renovations are on the rise. "Homeowners are looking for ways to update their current homes, rather than buying a new property," said Sarah Reep, director of designer relations and education at KraftMaid Cabinetry. "From simply adding a new faucet to completely gutting a bathroom, there are many ways to revitalize any home." For homeowners seeking inspiration for their bathroom renovation, here are the top trends to know:
Recycled Flooring: With the increased focus on sustainable materials, tiles made from recycled ceramic, glass and metal are in. Look for companies that use recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing practices to create their tiles.Added Storage Space: "Homeowners are looking for ways to decrease clutter and increase organization in their bathrooms," said Reep. For the homeowner with dozens of bottles, jars and accessories, KraftMaid's vanity filler pullout creates storage while saving space with its slim vertical design.* FOR MORE INFO CIRCLE #26Whether you enjoy following the housing trends or prefer the tried-and-true styles, there is a variety of new products to add beauty, value and functionality to any home.* QualityCabinets: CIRCLE #50Image Available: http://www2.marketwire.com/mw/frame_mw?attachid=1623983* Sonia America: CIRCLE #51Wendy MacDonald wmacdonald@familyfeatures.com 1-888-824-3337 ext. 235 http://editors.familyfeatures.com* FOR MORE INFO CIRCLE #25Seeing Green: The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) reported that 24 percent of their designers used a green color palette in their clients' kitchens last year.
