If you are planning to remodel your home, you might want to check out the following hottest home improvement trends of 2017 as suggested by pros:
Shower Stalls In Place Of Tubs
That’s right, bathtubs are gradually bidding us farewell only to be replaced by walk-in shower stalls equipped with shelving, seating and several showerheads.
Glass Tile In Place Of Ceramic
When it comes to bathroom surrounds and backsplashes, experts speculate that homeowners will make a switch to glass tiles from the good old ceramic.
Mid-Range Appliances In Place Of High-End Appliances
Mid-range appliances look and perform just as good as any topnotch, expensive appliance. So, if you are worried about having to spend thousands of dollars on a new oven, you know now you can take the easier way out.
Stainless Steel Countertops
Because stainless steel is hard wearing, hot pots, knives and blowtorches cause minimal damage to the surface. Plus, stainless steel is rather easy to clean, looks great in a kitchen setting and costs just as much as a traditional counter surface.
Large Sinks
Large sinks are in vogue. So, when you plan to go sink shopping, go for the deepest and widest piece you can find. And don’t even think about those two-sides sinks. Just replace them with a bigger one. This way, you will be glad when you have to clean a large pot after making spaghetti along with a few extra pans.
On the other hand, if you are looking for ways to make your home more functional, smarter, and more fun to live in, the following hottest home improvement technologies are for you!

Multi-Tasking Toaster
These dual functional toasters combine the features of a toaster, convection oven, and a steam oven, all in one. These are also energy savers because you can do multiple cooking at one time.
Life Saving Bathroom Tiles

Wireless Air Conditioning

You can also set it on geo fencing setting, which means the AC will turn on automatically when you walk in the house, and turn off when you walk out.
