Top 10 Remodeling Trends

Remodeling in 20 l3 will trend toward simpler living and low-maintenance design, but with accent marks of color and splash that don't overpower, according to design-build firm Neil Kelly Co., Portland, Or.

10. Kitctren Cabinets

A simple, contemporary look will be popular with homeowners looking to economize and eliminate clutter and fussy details that equate to high maintenance and complicated living. For those who don't want to spring for new cabinetry, re-facing or refinishing offers more bang for the buck.

9. Countertops

While granite isn't going away and still has many die-hard fans, the new king of countertops will be quartz composite-the closest thing to no maintenance, bullet-proof countertop materials available today.

8.

Pre-finished and engineered wood flooring will become more popular than the once gold standard of site-finished flooring. Pre-finished woods provide a hard, durable finish, are an installation time saver. and eliminate the sanding dust dilemma. Engineered wood floors are also compatible with under-floor heating systems-a big plus in cold climates.

7. Glass Backsplashes

Glass mosaic tile is on the way out. Taking its place are glass/stone/tile mosaic composites that can add more texture and visual interest and that tie in more readily with stone or quartz countenops.

Be on the lookout for back-painted, solid glass panel backsplashes in contemporary settings, which provide an ultra-clean. almost ethereal look to a polished. modern kitchen setting.

6. Stytishty Simple Sinks

Goodbye, double-sinks. Hello, deep single-bowl sinks. With accessories such as fitted colanders and dish drains, deep single-bowls have all the benefits of a divided sink, plus the large size to fit a roasting pan or baking sheets into the sink all at once. Stainless is still popular, but durable quartz composites are a great value.

5. Color Palette

Charcoal is the new black. This year will find this silky color everywhere as it blends the right amount of chocolate, gray and a touch of green.

4. Bathroom Stone

Synonymous with luxury, Calacatta Building-Products.com marble will find its way into both traditional and contemporary bathrooms. Calacatta is a rarer stone than Carrara marble, but is quarried in the same region. It is valued for a whiter background and bolder gray veins.

3. Texture & Sparkte

Bedazzled may find its way intcr home design fbr those seeking a blcnd of classic textures and colors with pops of bold color and sparkle. Glossy glass tile backsplashes and sparkle on polished nickel fixtures trend in 20 13.

2. l-iving in Your Home Longer/ Multi-Generational Living

Neil Kelly predicts a growing trend to help aging baby boomers safely "grow old" in their homes, fbr as long as possible.

l. Healthy Home,Healthy Living

The biggest trend will be to create a healthy living environme nt, free of toxins and harsh chcmicals. Morc homeowners arc taking advantage of f-ederal and state incentives to evaluate their home's energy efficiency and overall perfbrmance.

Upgrade trends include the use of low-VOC materials, testing combustion sal-ety. and rrdon mitigation.
