Joan McCloskey, editor of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, reports a number of trends in kitchens and baths, the two most popular rooms in the house:
- More square footage devoted to both of these areas
- Separate bathroom vanities for husband and wife
- A warmer, “softer” look for counters and flooring, with no shiny surfaces
- More kitchen appliances, including warming drawers, wine refrigerators and high-end dishwashers tucked into cabinets
The living room, which Ahluwalia called “the most vulnerable room in the house,” is in danger of disappearing entirely some time in the future. At the other end of the spectrum, an absolute necessity for most buyers is a separate laundry room.
