Home improvement is about more than fixing a leaking sink or addressing an unfinished building project. Sometimes, making a few design changes can bring your home back to life with an updated look. Every year there are a few upgrades that are popular among people looking to refresh their decor. Below are three 2018 trends you may want to try in your home.

Consider These 3 Home Improvement Trends

1. Open Shelving

Forgo the traditional wood cabinets and opt for open shelving. This is an easy home improvement task, as all you’ll need is a screwdriver and some time. You can remove your cabinet doors and stash them safely away from moisture in a garage or basement. Keep your cabinet contents well organized to make the most of this trendy look.

2. Metallic Accents

Skip the ceramic sink, wooden drawer knobs, and crystal chandeliers. Instead, amp up your home improvement with some metallic accents. Add silver handles to cabinets, install a brass sink, and find vintage lighting to illuminate your spaces.  

3. Smart Features

You don’t need to worry about energy-efficiency and utility bills when you upgrade your house with smart features. Add automatic lighting controls and a zoned HVAC system to allow you to operate the lights and heat or AC in your home when you’re not there. These systems will ensure you’re not paying for electricity, heating, or cooling when you’re not around.
