NUGGETS FROM THE WORLD OF RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Hot 2024 Real Estate Trends Feature Wellness Benefits

Real estate platform Zillow has published its list of hot 2024 residential real estate trend predictions. Of the six listed, four are wellness-enhancing. I wrote my latest Forbes.com piece about those, with insights from design and real estate pros. You can read it here.

BONUS CHAPTER AVAILABLE NOW!

Promotion for Wellness by Design book bonus chapter with original cover featuring kitchen sink with herb holder.

When I wrote my latest book and sent in the final manuscript, I had no idea that a pandemic was going to be hitting us in a matter of weeks. (WELLNESS BY DESIGN published in September 2020 when we were deep into it.)

We’ve experienced a great deal of national crises in the three years since  – including some of the worst wildfires and hurricanes – so I thought a bonus chapter would be helpful for readers. Here are some of the topics that are covered:

  • Adding resilience to your home
  • Insights and benefits of multi-generational living
  • Tips on noise reduction
  • How and why to create flex spaces
  • Importance of access to nature
  • New advances in smart home technology – what’s next!
