2025 is here! With the arrival of a new year comes new resolutions and new chances to make your home the comfortable, attractive space you've always wanted. The last few years have seen changes in the way we build and decorate our homes and our interior spaces. Just five years ago, it seemed like gray was on every surface in every room, and white was the color of every kitchen. Today, we're seeing shifts in color preferences, pattern preferences, and designs of all types. In Connecticut, homeowners seek ways to make their spaces more inviting, intimate, and personal. Whatever you're hoping to achieve with your home renovation, work with a Connecticut contractor that you trust. Hiring a design-build contractor can make your job easier because your contractor will have an in-house design team to help you create the style you've been looking for. Either way, choose a professional contractor with good references, great communication skills, and a reputation you trust.
