ECO HOMES

8 OF THE MOST SUSTAINABLE FEATURES TO CONSIDER, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS

PASSIVE DESIGN

Sustainable homes begin with a sustainable framework. If you're working with a designer to build a brand-new home, it's imperative to employ passive design, which reduces a house's ecological footprint by using the climate and landscape to its advantange. One way to do that is taking note of the orientation of the house in relation to the sun.

SOLAR PANELS

As a Green designee, realtor Cheneil Lowe sits on the Atlanta Realtors Association's sustainability committee. She often works with clients to find the solar panels that work best for their home and energy bill budgets. "With solar panels, homeowners can significantly reduce their dependence on traditional electricity sources, leading to substantial savings on their electric bills over time," Lowe says.

GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMPS

As a part of a top-to-bottom renovation, consider installing a geothermal heating and cooling system to conserve energy. They work by tapping into stable temperatures a few feet below the earth's surface to heat and cool a home.

BUYING A HOUSE OR BUILDING A NEW ONE?

ECO-FRIENDLY APPLIANCES

Rob McGibney, president and COO of homebuilder KB Home, recommends looking for appliances that are Energy Star-certified and WaterSense labeled, two programs from the Environmental Protection Agency that set standards for energy efficiency and water conservation.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR A MORE

eco-friendly space!

RECYCLED MATERIALS

Instead of shopping for new counters, cabinets, and shelving, turn to places like Habitat for Humanity's ReStore or an architectural salvage shop for materials to reuse in your home. "you can retrofit pretty much any old piece of furniture into the space you need it for," says Gabriela Narvaez, general contractor and founder of Guild Properties.

FORMALDEHYDE FREE CABINETS

Many mass-produced cabinets contain formaldehyde in the glue that binds panels together. Springing for cabinets made without harmful chemicals can reduce indoor air pollution in your home. "Solid wood is always a formaldehyde free option," says Narvaez.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT WINDOWS

Insulated and laminated impact windows and doors do wonders for reducing a home's overall energy consumption, explains Manny Angelo Varas, president and CEO of homebuilder MV Group USA. If you're replacing windows in a home, take a closer look at triple-glazed windows, also known as triple-pane windows.

THERMOSTATS AND MORE

Smart technology can also help cut down on your home's energy consumption. Lowe consistently recommends smart thermostat controls to her clients and new homeowners alike. "You'll be able to adjust your temperature settings when you're away, and some smart thermostats track your energy consumption so you stay on track," adds Rodriguez.

THE WORST PAINT COLORS FOR SELLERS

DON’T PAINT YOUR HOUSE THESE COLORS IF YOU’RE TRYING TO SELL

12 | THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE HOME & LIFESTYLE | THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE FULL ARTICLE!

There’s a reason many homeowners opt for neutral shades when trying to sell their house — certain flashy colors may be off-putting to buyers.

According to a study from Fixr, 59% of staging and design professionals say red is the most off-putting color to buyers, followed closely by lime green.

Other colors on the do-not-paint list include bright yellow, mustard yellow, pink, turquoise and black, although the study notes that many of these shades could work as an accent or in moderation.

On the flip side, certain color palettes are likely to increase a home’s value, such as warm neutrals, whites, neutrals with deep color accents, cool neutrals and rich or deep colors, like earth tones or subdued jewel tones.

Despite these trends, homeowners who aren’t looking to sell should ultimately choose a paint color that resonates with them, not potential buyers. “It’s important to consider color trends if you are thinking of selling your home in the near term,” Bethany Adams, principal at Bethany Adams Interiors, said in the report. “But if resale isn’t an issue, I say go with what you love.”

Paint and Color Trends Report 2024

As we begin a new year, it’s a perfect time to give your home a color lift. With warm neutral colors and earthy tones bringing a sense of calmness and nature to homes, start off 2024 by updating yours with the latest paint and color trends. Whether you decide on simply adding a feature wall or want to undertake a complete interior makeover, checking out the latest trends is a design must.

The following statistics are taken from their responses and give an overall insight into interior design in 2024. For homeowners and designers alike; kick off the year with inspiration and advice from this detailed report on paint and color trends.

Key Findings:

46% of experts say earthy tones are the most popular color palette. 81% of pros agree that the powder room is where we see wallpaper used the most. Whites are the best color for exteriors when selling a home, say 49% of top experts. A majority of 81% of pros recommend warm neutrals for interiors when selling a home. 71% of design professionals say natural materials are dominating furniture trends.

INTERIORS WILL SEE A MAJOR SHIFT IN AESTHETICS IN 2024

KITCHEN RENOVATIONS 'IN', HOME OFFICE FLIPS 'OUT': 1STDIBS

Decorstyles

are shifting as the new year gets underway, according to an annual study by online design marketplace 1stDibs.

Findings within the secondhand e-commerce player’s seventh-edition Interior Designer Trends Survey outline that certain corners of the home are boomeranging back to the top of the list; a majority of designers, 56 percent to be exact, expect kitchens to be the most requested room for projects in 2024, as interest in office revamps soften. The release suggests that demands recalling specific design eras, such as bohemianism , will lead the way this year as go-to’s from recent years turn to dust.

“As we head into 2024, it’s interesting to see the aesthetic shifts anticipated by interior designers, those discerning friends of ours who reliably lead the way in matters of style and taste,” said Anthony Barzilay Freund, editoria director at 1stDibs, in a statement.

14 | THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE HOME & LIFESTYLE | THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE

“The results from our annual survey are in, and the experts have spoken: color preferences are changing, pattern affinity has evolved and much of what we saw trending on social media last year may no longer be embraced,” Mr. Freund said. “We’re forever grateful to our esteemed designer colleagues for sharing their insights with 1stDibs.”

For the report, 1stDibs worked with Connecticut-based research firm Surveys & Forecasts, LLC to conduct online interviews with 624 interior designers from around the globe between August and September 2023. All of the creatives contacted are members of the 1stDibs Trade 1st Progam for design professionals.

THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE | 15 THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE | HOME & LIFESTYLE

OUT WITH THE OLD

Nearly half of all respondents said that living rooms are “most likely to command their attention in the year ahead.”

Up 15 points from 2020, expected bath commissions are highly anticipated, as 37 percent of designers cite expectations for ample upcoming tub and tile work.

Designers would recommend walk-in closets, guest suites and outdoor kitchens to clients “if money were no object, says 1stDibs, and with a good chunk of companies’ return-to-office mandates, one part of the home in particular is facing outsized threats. Respondents are seeing drastic declines in requests for home office renovations, dipping from 66 percent in 2020 to 23 percent in 2024.

The 1stDibs release reflects that bright colors are out for 2024. Shade-wise, bright hues of red, yellow and orange have fallen out of favor with designers, with only 3 percent, 1 percent and 4 percent, respectively, planning to make use of these hues in 2024.

Sharp geometric shapes are on their way out. Takes on biophilia that are too literal and involve the use of insects or butterflies are on the decline as well, and will see nextto-no new usage going forward, according to 1stDibs. Rates of popularity for physical abstract, modern and contemporary art are increasing, with 42 percent of respondents citing plans to incorporate painting and sculptures into their spaces this year.

16 | THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE HOME & LIFESTYLE | THE BUCKHEAD OFFICE INTRIGUE

The most beloved aesthetics of recent months – Scandinavian modernism, midcentury setups and monochromatism – are all predicted to remain popular.

However, some new entrants are entering the fray: organics, bold prints and florals. A combination of the incoming trends can be seen with French home furnishings brand Roche Bobois’ latest collections.

At large, looks from the past are always fluctuating in usage, with particular decades seeing some time in the spotlight

before slowly falling out of fashion until remerging later down the line.

Design cues from the 1920s and ’30s have been on the rise for years, starting small in 2021 before reaching an anticipated peak in 2024, as a quarter of interior designers plan to utilize art deco style in the coming quarters.

Jumping in anticipated usage from 13 percent in 2023 to 27 percent in 2024, the aforementioned 1970s preferences are alive and well across luxury brands invested in the home.

KITCHEN RENOVATION TRENDS 2024

HOUZZ SAYS THESE KITCHEN TRENDS WILL TAKE OFF IN 2024

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE FULL ARTICLE!

The median kitchen renovator spent $55,000 on updates and upgrades in mid-2023, up from $45,000 in mid2022. So, what are they spending that money on?

According to Houzz, that money is going toward major structural changes. The remodeling and design platform surveyed over 3,400 homeowners who completed a kitchen renovation in the past year to create its 2024 study of kitchen trends in the U.S.

Notably, renovators are less likely than they were a year ago to undergo kitchen modifications for the purpose of improving the home’s resale value. On the contrary, homeowners are updating their spaces to fit their own personal preferences and lifestyles, with 42% saying they needed a renovation simply because they no longer liked the style of their old kitchen. About 35% said they renovated because their old kitchen deteriorated or because they finally have the means to do so.

These are the kitchen modifications and trends that homeowners are expected to prioritize in 2024.

Open concepts

Professional hiring

Bigger islands

High-tech appliances

Aging accommodations

Upgraded backsplashes

Pendant lighting

Storage solutions

No matter how you slice it, homeowners are prioritizing the layout of their kitchen, with 45% making structural changes that alter the flow of the space. Furthermore, 39% of renovators modify their kitchen walls, while 7% change the entire kitchen’s location (up from 4% a year ago).
