When examining the many home design trends for the\u00a0coming year, the verdict is in:<\/span> \u201cnatural is magical<\/span>\u201d.<\/h4>\n

Architects and home designers worldwide are using nature as the central\u00a0theme in the new homes they create. As a company that has created\u00a0home packages from natural materials since 1968, Linwood designs and\u00a0building kits continue to embrace nature as key. Here are three top trends\u00a0you may wish to incorporate into your home design planning:<\/p>\n

1. Daylighting Your Space<\/span><\/h3>\n

Now, more than ever, people are realizing the importance of bringing\u00a0natural light indoors. One key benefit is that natural light in a home or work\u00a0environment has proven to be physically good for us. Other advantages of\u00a0bringing more daylight into your home are higher energy savings with lower\u00a0utility bills, reducing lighting consumption by 50% in many cases.<\/p>\n

2. Upcycling or Repurposing Items<\/span><\/h3>\n

A wooden toboggan used as a stand-up book shelf? A canoe hung as wall\u00a0art? People are using their imaginations to turn discarded or old items into\u00a0something that creates character in a home.<\/p>\n

3. Using More Natural Wood<\/span><\/h3>\n

In bathrooms in particular, countertops and accents are turning towards\u00a0natural wood. \u201c2016 is on track to be the year of the timber top,\u201d says Scott\u00a0Beechey, Design and Selections Specialist from Mitcham Plumbtec. He adds,\u00a0\u201cTimber allows a new dimension in adding a natural warmth and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n
