Have you ever wondered who decides what’s in and what’s out for the year? So did we! Being in the home remodeling industry has taught Unlimited Contracting a thing or two, and we’re happy to pass that information along to our Kansas City friends and neighbors!

If you live in Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, or anywhere else nearby, we can offer practical home renovation solutions that will be beautiful, beneficial, and affordable!

So, who are those authorities on home trends, and how do they make decisions about what looks great verses what is outdated?

It’s weird to think that world events and economics can affect the type of end tables homeowners are buying, but they do! Buyers choose products that customers want based on their desire for authentic, handcrafted items that help artisans support themselves and for sustainable products that don’t negatively impact the environment. Home trends will often reflect the world’s feelings on current affairs as well. If we need comforting, designs are cozier, while minimal designs symbolize boldness and independence.  

That’s right, there are companies out there that deal exclusively in predicting upcoming trends. WGSN is one of them, predicting what’s coming next. Scientists, computer analytics, and a lot of data are used to accurately determine what trends will be popular in the coming year or so. Design fairs like Maison&Objet, and the Milan Furniture Fair are also great places to see what popular designers think should be in your home!

This one is probably easy to guess. The colors, styles, and fabrics that you love wearing are bound to turn up in your home – somewhere other than your closet, that is! Chevron, fringe, and the color teal are just a few examples of past clothing trends that worked their way into our homes. It makes since that certain colors are pleasing to pretty much everyone and that specific fabrics are well-loved no matter where they are used, so it makes sense that we love to incorporate them wherever we can.

You may wonder why this information is so important. Well, mainly, it’s a good thing to know if you plan to remodel your Fairway or Lake Quivira home any time soon. You’ll know exactly what to watch if you’re hoping to achieve the home improvement project of a lifetime!

If it all seems a little overwhelming, you can always trust a professional contractor like Unlimited Contracting to help you interpret all the information coming your way so that you can decide which trends you want to include in your home and which ones you’ll pass on. After all, you don’t have to like a design element just because someone tells you to. Ultimately, the choice is yours when it comes to your home. You can opt for one or more of the latest trends , or you can go completely traditional and never have to worry about what’s in style at the moment again.
