Your Home: 2010
Top Ten Trends for the Home of 2010:
1. Breathing easy: indoor air quality
2. Home-based medical monitoring, diagnosis, and care
3. Monitoring and sensing for home safety and personal protection
4. New appreciation for electricity: absolutely reliable and high-quality power
5. Whole-house water safety systems
6. Healthy food quality and safe handling, storing, and cooking
7. Financial clout fends off aging- a built-in market for healthy home products and services
8. A war against mites and mold
9. A single cleanser for all surfaces and one appliance that will clean all fabrics, washer/dryer that does it all in one appliance
10. Sterile surfaces: germ-resistant materials, coatings, and fabrics
On the Horizon:
Bedrooms: seek extraordinary night's sleep with state of the art bedrooms. Emphasizing relaxation over sex.
One large multi-purpose room: transforms into whatever you need at that moment. Furniture is downsized, no more clunky consoles. Smaller, more energy-efficient homes, around 2000 sq ft.
Bold Color: Intense color palette's replace neutrals. Ethnic backgrounds influence bold, bright colors (red, blue, purple). Cameleon colors gain popularity: colors that transform with the light of day.
Bathroom: Soaking tubs (out with the noisy, uncomfortable whirpool tubs)
Bamboo and cork flooring. Bamboo is a tough sustainable natural resource.
Kitchens: a renewed interest in teak/medium toned woods for cabinetry. Metal colors copper and zinc to make a big splash. Grantie remains. Wine coolers become the standard as trash compactors are a thing of the past. Wine coolers open the door to cheese refridgerators - the popularity of artisan cheeses require specific humidity and temperatures.
Kuppersbusch Electric Honeycomb Cooktop:
The heating elements can be arranged into a wide variety of layouts. The system uses a series of honeycomb-shaped pads that are able to be recessed flush with the surface of your counter-top. One of the honeycomb shapes works as a touch-sensitive interface, and with no unsightly knobs or buttons, cleanup is a snap.
