    Keeping up with trending home designs, both indoor and outdoor, can transform your otherwise average home to a statement piece that will leave your friends  drooling. Listed below are trending home features that you can incorporate in your house to give it some pizzazz.  Looking through properties that popular architects have made over the years is a great place to start when planning to upgrade your home to a-list status, with the MEP engineering done to perfection.

    Smart Home Devices

    Technology for sure is a gift that keeps giving. Life is so much easier with smart home appliances such as voice activated assistants. A great example is Alexa by Amazon. Voice activated assistants do several tasks such as marking your calendar, keeping records of your to-do lists, opening  curtains, switching on the TV and informing you about the weather and trending stories. They are spread out in the house, always listening but only function when their activation phrase is uttered. 

    Matte

    Matte nails are not the only thing trending. Matte kitchen appliances, surfaces and walls have become major contenders in interior decor. They are bold and give the room an air of sophistication.   If you want to check out more kitchen surfaces go to Essex Worktops for more.

Not to worry though thanks to the new must-have trend of installing a modern fountain.  Forget about swimming pools, everyone has those.

There are so many types of fountains; bubbling, raining, cascading, sphere, figurine, wall or tiered that you’re bound to find one that will fit your home perfectly.
