Not having to go into the basement (if your home has one) or down to any other floor, in order to do laundry is a nice feature that can save a lot of time. Placing that laundry room on the same level as the bedrooms and master bathroom is a great idea. Something as small as a closet, or perhaps an unused storage room can become a dedicated space for the washer and dryer.

Digital interior design was already rising before COVID, and now that designers and homeowners have practiced social distancing, we see the efficiency of online interior design becoming even bigger….”
Look around: Technology is advancing at a break-neck pace in recent years. Cell phones are now much more than just communication devices. With them, we can control our living room lights, our home's temperatures and security systems.
Look for the remodeling industry to incorporate more technology in their design styles.
