Most times homeowners see something somewhere then incorporate it to their houses. Basically, your dream is someone’s reality. Therefore, most house features are popular due to more people wanting it.
Additionally, we see most Kenyan homes being similar to the structure to even house colours. However, what is the features homeowners or builders are rushing to have in 2019?
Gypsum ceiling
These ceilings are from gypsum mineral. Moreover, gypsum boards allow you to experiment with different décor designs for the ceiling and walls. besides, they have several advantages.
Gypsum ceilings are fireproof, which makes them a great choice for ceilings in different rooms in h house, including the kitchen.
They are also soundproof. this guarantees you peace and privacy by minimising noise from the roof or the house above you if you live in an apartment.
There are many ways of using gypsum boards, thanks to their malleability.
Ceiling light fixtures
Forget the ordinary bulb, this year contractors switched up to pendant lighting and recessed lighting. Moreover, these types of lighting go hand in hand with the gypsum ceiling.
A pendant light, sometimes called a drop or suspender, is a lone light fixture that hangs from the ceiling usually suspended by a cord, chain, or metal rod. Pendant lights are often used in multiples, hung in a straight line over kitchen countertops and dinette sets or sometimes in bathrooms.
Recessed lights are metal light housings that install above the ceiling line. Except for thin trim and part of the inner baffle, no part of the light is visible.
Also known as can lights or downlights, they require extensive ceiling wiring. The junction boxes, however, allow for light-to-light connections. This means that you are running only one cable, not several.
Recessed lights on the consumer market generally vary in diameter from 3″ to 6″.
Open Living Kitchen
This feature generally connecting the living room with the kitchen. Although this has been a trend for some years now, developers are coming up with smarter ways to make open living space both private and social.
For example, some developers are choosing to completely ignore the dining room and assume homeowners will find a way to work around the big space provided for the lounge.
Additionally, some home builders prefer the dining area to be different next to the kitchen as in no wall separating them. This is a feature we foresee being a constant trend forever.
