It's just the fourth month of 2016, and new home design trends still keep on cropping up. Among these is garage doors being used in the interior of the home, a 2016 home design trend that has been observed in various households lately. Is this trend ideal for your home?
If you want to keep up with the latest trends in home design, then you might want to consider using garage-style doors in your home. According to Wall Street Journal, many homeowners now use this type of door "to divide rooms or create gates to the outdoors." The report states that garage doors are now commonly used as retractable room dividers or exterior walls controlled remotely to allow fresh air inside the home.
"It's about bringing the outdoors inside. They allow a great deal of natural light to flood inside and they make a room seem bigger," explained Vickie Lents of garage-door maker Entrematic in Winston-Salem, N.C.
According to the report, this home design trend has actually been observed before in beach houses, but garage door makers are reportedly seeing a wider demand now. These garage doors usually feature insulated glass and frosted pane and serve both functional and aesthetic purposes in the home. With these garage doors, you can easily enjoy views from outside and somehow bring the outdoors inside, as what Lens pointed out.
Meanwhile, while new home design trends are popping up this 2016, there are also some that are here to stay. The Enterprise has enumerated some of these home design trends, which include open floor plans which is common even in luxury homes today. Gourmet kitchens are also a staple in homes nowadays, as "kitchens have become the center of significant investment in many homes." Wallpapers and smart homes were also included in the home design trends list by the site.
