YOUR PERSONAL RELATOR SERVING BEVERLY HILLS, BEL AIR, LOS ANGELES AND BEYOND

2020 was an unprecedented year for all of us. Now more than ever our homes serve multifunctional roles - they are our place of work and rest as well as our restaurant, school, salon, gym...the list goes on. With travel and gatherings at a standstill, people are looking inward and investing time and money in their dwellings. Pandemic home renovation is at an all time high as we "shelter at home" and look to our homes to provide us inspiration and happiness. Homeowners are incentivized to put money into renovations due to the high amount of home equity they have as home prices continue to grow and demand for housing soars. As we spend more time at home, now we are finally finding the opportunity to complete that renovation or addition we've been wanting to do for all those years. Also, when you consider our homes are often the most expensive asset we will ever purchase, why wouldn't we invest the time and resources into making it a space that makes us feel our best?
Open layouts while still popular are on a downward trajectory as homeowners are requesting dedicated spaces to specific activities. Home offices, studios, gyms, and theaters are high on the "must have" lists. Additionally, we are seeing a surge in creating harmonious indoor/outdoor spaces as individuals seek to increase the "livable spaces" on their properties. Outdoor spaces also offer a change of scenery and fresh air as well as a safe place to gather with friends and family.
All in all, taking the time to carefully consider the elements of your home and create a space truly unique to the way you desire to live will pay you dividends time and time again.
