Here are some things happening right now in interior renovations and new house plans for home builders. This year word has it that designs will have cleaner lines and more open spaces.
Overall, trends indicate that new construction is more contemporary with much cleaner lines and more glass and metal. Home exteriors and interiors now have cleaner lines with more glass and stone.
