As professionals with a presence in both the design industry and with the homeowner, builders and remodelers are privy to the trends that truly resonate with consumers. And a recent study has revealed exactly what those trends are.According to the study, conducted by Schlage®, an Allegion™ brand, nearly half of builders and remodelers cited an interior design update as the most common reason for undertaking a renovation. Minor kitchen and bath remodels, fixture and hardware updates were also reported popular.
When builders and remodelers were asked to rank the design styles they’d most likely recommend to homeowners, traditional design ranked highest. Contemporary, eclectic and rustic designs followed, respectively.
When asked which elements have the most design impact, more than half of builders and remodelers noted paint colors, followed by light fixtures.
Much like homeowners, builders and remodelers reported deriving design inspiration from catalogues and magazines.
