5. Workhorse Islands. Kitchen islands are not only just a social area to gather around, but also practical space to cook and prepare food. Modern homes are taking this a step further by adding deep storage, accompanied by seating so your space can be multi-functional yet attractive.

6. Evolving bathroom mirrors. Medicine cabinets are for hospitals; why do we still feel obliged to have them in our modern homes? Throw away your dated cabinets and replace them with some statement mirrors. They will help transform your bathroom’s character and make your bathroom the talk of the town.

7. Forget technology, remember your family. Living rooms are meant to be for living, not for staring at screens. Our lives are controlled by technology from the moment we wake up till the moment we go to sleep. Make some room in your house where you can find somewhere calm to read a book, chat with friends and family or just sit quietly and take a moment for yourself.
