Top Design Trends for 2020

Whether you’re planning a simple refresh or a full-scale renovation, it’s important to stay up-to-date on the top design trends for homes. Sellers who make tasteful updates can generate increased buyer interest and, in some cases, a premium selling price. And buyers should consider which features of a home will need updating immediately (or in the near future) so they can factor renovation costs into their overall budget.
