Best Indoor Remodeling Ideas

Interior remodeling ideas go in and out of fashion just like clothes or accessories. Every year brings its own set of unique indoor remodeling trends; some are New Age and revolutionary, while others are modern renditions of older trends. Slide Works deals with clients who are performing these remodels (contractors) or homeowners who are thinking about remodeling their house. So, we thought that we would take this opportunity to give our two cents on the topic of remodeling ideas, since we come across a lot of them.

U-sockets

This isn’t exactly a ‘remodel’ idea, but it will take some time to replace all your electricity outlets with U-sockets or USB Sockets. Take a second to think about it, how many electronic devices do you own which utilize USB chargers? Most handheld devices today come standard with USB chargers, so imagine the convenience U-sockets will offer.

No More Showers

The most interesting trend in indoor remodeling is the hatred of showers. A good number of homeowners are remodeling their bathrooms to exclude showers from them, and adding bathtubs instead.

Bringing the Outdoors In

Homeowners will never say no to the addition of some extra space in their house, but adding a room or constructing an outdoor space costs a lot of money. A more affordable option is to extend the indoor space to the outdoors with the installation of a multi-slide or bi-folding door system. We can offer you multiple sliding or folding door options for your home. If you add these doors to two sides of your house, or even just one, you can extend your interior living space and bring the outdoors inside.

Minimalistic Kitchens

Kitchens are a favorite remodel target for homeowners. New appliances, constructing an island, cabinets etc; any number of these things can be added or improved upon in the kitchen. The latest trend is to forgo the bulky cabinets and install shelves instead. You don’t have to fill up the whole kitchen space with cabinets; you can go with shelves in half or more of the space to give it a more open look.

Energy Efficiency

If doing your part for the environment is important to you, then adding energy efficient appliances and features to your home is exactly in your wheelhouse. Kitchen appliances and your heating/cooling systems are the biggest energy guzzlers. Replacing old appliances with new energy efficient ones and adding a high-tech thermostat will make your home more energy efficient.

You can also replace the windows on your glass with ones that offer better energy conservation. And replacing your old patio doors with new sliding doors with energy efficient glass will also be beneficial.

These are the indoor remodeling ideas that are trending right now. If one of them piques your interest, you should start making plans for it right now. And when you need sliding or folding doors, don’t forget to give us a call (480-270-5635).
