WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN’T family to be able to decentralize and not be on top of each other,” she says. This becomes even more important when elderly relatives join a household. As an expert in multigenerational living, Cini has been “getting calls nonstop” from people wanting to safely welcome an elderly parent into their home. One way that people are making this happen, Burt says: Rather than building an addition onto their home, they’re getting a permit to build a backyard ADU (additional dwelling unit). These tiny houses give extended family members their own space and yet everyone has easy access to one another.
A homebound year has meant rethinking our rooms, belongings Melissa Rayworth ASSOCIATED PRESS In normal times, new trends in home design and home decorating bubble up simply because it’s time for something different. A few years of bold color and homeowners start painting things gray. After enough minimalism, a hunger for plaids and florals comes roaring back. But this time last year, a cultural experiment began that changed our relationships with houses and condos and apartments around the world. Suddenly, constantly, we were inside them. So much of public life – work, school, exercise, shopping, dining and (virtually) socializing – began happening entirely within the walls of home, at least for those able to do so. Architects and interior designers say that after 12 months of varying degrees of lockdown, people are discovering what does and doesn’t work in their homes, and becoming more confident about acting on it. They’re realizing how familiar spaces can serve them better. “Out of frustration comes brilliant ideas,” says Lisa Cini, founder and president of Mosaic Design Studio. Some trends:

Home is where the heart is. Long-term mortgage rates rise again; 30-year at 3.05% ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — U.S. longterm mortgage rates again rose modestly this week against the backdrop of an improving economy and further distribution of coronavirus vaccines. Rates remain near historic lows, however. The benchmark 30-year loan stayed above the 3% mark, a level it breached last week for the first time since July 2020. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year fixed-rate home loan rose to 3.05% from 3.02% last week. By contrast, the benchmark rate stood at 3.36% a year ago. The average rate on 15-year fixed-rate loans, popular among those seeking to refinance their mortgages, increased to 2.38% from 2.34% last week. President Joe Biden signed into law Thursday the longawaited $1.9 trillion relief package targeted to help the U.S. defeat the coronavirus. The prospect of the massive stimulus has helped lift uncertainty about the economic recovery. The government reported that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell last week to 712,000, the lowest total since early November, evidence that fewer employers are cutting jobs amid a decline in confirmed virus infections and signs of a healing economy. Still, many businesses remain under pressure and 9.6 million jobs remain lost to the pandemic that flattened the economy one year ago.
