“Consumers continue to invest
significantly in home improvements, with special attention
paid to creating warm and comfortable personal areas”,
states Debbie Zimmer, of the Rohm and Haas Paint Quality
Institute.
In addition to concern for home improvements adding value
to their existing homes, homeowners are also dramatically
interested in transforming their homes into comfortable and
functional living spaces.
Kitchens continue to expand and
bathrooms progress with obtaining more luxurious elements;
both remaining highly desirable and popular remodeling
projects. However, home improvement industry experts are
reporting a surge in specific remodeling trend themes.
Current remodeling projects are witnessing a dramatic
emphasis on creating specialty areas to fit individual
family member needs. Attractive, high quality materials are
the method of choice and high on the priority list for
today's savvy consumers."
