Upgrade Your Bathroom This Fall with These Design Trends or Not?

Fall is upon us and, for many homeowners, the new season means a new opportunity to renovate, refresh, and redesign their homes.

And that includes bathrooms.

But when it comes to bathroom design, what’s trending this season?

A recent article from realtor.com outlined some of this season’s biggest bathroom design trends to help you revamp and refresh your space, including:

  • Add a gallery wall. Gallery walls are a design staple in living rooms and entryways. But creating a gallery wall in your bathroom is unexpected—and can lend charm and character to the space. (And on a shoestring budget!)
  • Wall mount the faucet. Want to add visual interest and functionality to your sink area? Consider mounting your faucet on the wall. Not only will a wall-mounted faucet make your bathroom look on-trend, but it can also create more surface space on your vanity.
  • Striped shower tiles. If you’re considering a more extensive bathroom remodel, one trend you’ll want to consider? Going bold with your shower tiles. Embracing bold colors and patterns is extremely on-trend this year, with striped shower tiles being particularly trendy.

Does the Cooling Market Mean You Can’t Still Get a Historically High Price for Your House?

If you’ve been thinking about selling your house, you’ve probably heard that the market’s cooling off, or “resetting” (as Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, recently put it.) So you might be wondering if that means you won’t be able to get as much money for your house as your neighbors did a few weeks back.

On the other hand, there are still reports that house prices are still rising, like in this realtor.com article, which makes you wonder if you could actually get more money than they did!

So, what’s the truth?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to that question. Real estate functions on a very local level, and much of what you read is referring to the broader, national market.  Indiana is not Phoenix or Las Vegas (where the major price reductions are occurring.) Not only does the general area you live in matter, but the specific price range or neighborhood your house is in can affect whether or not you get more or less for your house.
