We are getting inspiration from some of Greater Vancouver\u2019s designer display suites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here is a look at three trends that have caught our attention :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lighting Function<\/strong><br \/>\nLooking around you\u2019ll see great lighting trends. Take notice of fixtures in each room and how the lighting works with the space, colour scheme and furniture. The quality of light is important for any space, from its function to setting the mood. The Kirkland luxury homes in Kerrisdale features modern and elegant fixtures in the bathroom, and also has thoughtfully placed vanity lighting solutions for your beauty routine. Like The Kirkland, expect to see more thoughtful lighting options in homes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Spa-Inspired Ensuites<\/strong><br \/>\nSpa-inspired ensuites have been on our radar for quite some time but we continue to see more and more features become standard across the market. Contemporary master ensuites now feature in-floor heating, frameless glass showers with tiled shower bases, and towel warmers. The high-end bath at Calla at The Gardens by Townline Homes offers practical features including custom designed mirrored medicine cabinets, heated floors and full height porcelain tile walls as the backdrop.<br \/>\nSome of the city\u2019s more spacious floorplans include beautifully designed ensuites that comes with dual sinks and a mix of open and closed storage providing more personal space. A stand-alone soaker bathtub inspires deep relaxation at the new luxury residences, Hawthorne by Pennyfarthing Homes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Well-Planned Kitchens<\/strong><br \/>\nThe kitchen, also known as the heart of the home, is also a high traffic room that requires a well-planned layout. Kitchen design experts are optimizing appliance position to help with efficiency and effectiveness of the space for cooking and daily activities. The remarkable CresseyKitchenTM at McKinnon in Kerrisdale incorporates a \u2018Chef\u2019s Wall\u2019 in the kitchen to keep state-of-the-art appliances at eye level and within easy reach while maximizing storage and counterspace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you visit a presentation centre walk through the display suites and ask the sales representative about the key design elements to get a better sense of the home and features that cater to your needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macmarketingsolutions.com\/blog\/condo-living-trends-for-2017\" target=\"_blank\">Condo Living Trends for 2017 <\/a>by MAC Marketing Solutions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s New?
