Before you up and remodel, you might want to know a few of the remodeling trends happening. The key to remodeling is to make sure your changes fit the market trends and buyers desires so you can recoup your investment when you sell your home.

According to the Remodeling 2015 Cost vs. Value Report, if you remodel your bathroom you can expect to make back about 70 percent of the cost when you sell. A mid-range remodel costing $16,724 would only add $11,707 to the resale value of a home in the current market, found the survey.

Moving to the kitchen, a major overhaul could get you about 67.8 percent of the cost. A midrange kitchen remodel totaling $56,768 could add a whopping $38,485 to the resale value of the home, reports US News & World Report.

The cost to value recouped on both remodeling jobs went down this year, with the bathroom job dropping 2.5 percent and the kitchen remodel decreasing 6.4 percent.

Before changing anything, check out your home with a buyers eye. Advises, Dawn McKenna, real estate broker at Hinsdale, Does it have high ceilings? Does it have good bones? Is it in a good location? If the floor plans are worthy, you should update your kitchen and bath because you will reap the rewards at resale time. If your house is priced and marketed properly and it looks like a 10, it will sell significantly faster.

And when you do remodel, use only quality products and styles that are timeless. Think not only about your needs but what current buyers are seeking.

For example, for kitchen, consider opening up the space and let it encompass a family room. Consider adding an island with a breakfast bar. Also think about adding a technology station with lots of outlets in your kitchen where everyone canrecharge their electronic gadgets and cell phones.

Everybody wants an open kitchen-family room. They will do without a living room, and some people will even forego a dining room, McKenna says.

In the bathroom, buyers now want larger shower spaces with such perks as aromatherapy steam showers and large rainwater shower heads, among other things.

Kristina Phillips in the remodeled kitchen of her Ridgewood home. The kitchen features Shaker-style cabinets that have flat, clean lines. The microwave? It's below the counter. "I just didn't want to see it," she says.

Clean lines. Sleek design. Cool colors.

Peter Rymwid

A kitchen in Englewood completed last summer by Peter Salerno Inc. contains many of the elements trending this year: island seating, Caesarstone quartz countertop, white cabinets with Shaker doors, a ceiling fixture featuring Mason jars, and a backsplash of glass and porcelain tile.

Creative Kitchen & Bath

A Wyckoff kitchen done in 2014 by Creative Kitchen & Bath showcases the trends breaking this year: quartz countertops and a marble backsplash.

No some of the hot design trends for kitchens in 2015.

Softer colors such as gray hues and white and Shaker-style cabinets have been bubbling up for the past couple of years and are among the top wants in new kitchen designs. Backsplashes are playing a big role, as are more informal seating and charging stations in the kitchen. And try looking up: Ceilings are increasingly standing out in the design mix.

Hot design trends for kitchens

Some like it hot, but when it comes to kitchen design, most of us dont dare to boldly go where no one has gone before. A little edgy with backsplashes, maybe. A lime spatula or even a KitchenAid mixer in raspberry, why not? But an aqua fridge? Or a radiant orchid range? Seriously?

Seriously. This is not for the design timid. This is about the anti-white kitchen, that classic that remains most picked, in spite of what design editors may want.

White is not at all what Pasadena, Calif., homeowners Karen and Brian Frid-Madden wanted. They envisioned an almost Alice in Wonderland-like gathering place for their two small daughters. They are also huge fans of the work of Mexican architect Luis Barragn (known for expansive planes of color even on the facades of buildings), so color fit right in.

Barragn used color to augment his mastery of space and light within his designs, said Elina Katsioula-Beall of DeWitt Designer Kitchens, who worked with the Frid-Maddens. This, coupled with the theme of bringing the outdoors in by using the cabinetry to evoke fuchsia flower beds, gave us a unique starting point.

For the design, Katsioula-Beall teamed a neon palette with iridescent tiles, silver painted backsplash and stainless steel, which she says absorb the vibrant hues like tinted chameleons as the play of light passes over them.

Dramatic accents

Some may think it a cacophony of color. Others may be more comfortable with monochromatic splashes of bold hues. New York-based Miles Redd has a few high-gloss apple green kitchen cabinets in his design repertoire, making for haute drama in tight spaces.

In the past year, though, a move out of safe neutrals was not limited to cabinets, custom or not. Faucets, sinks, refrigerators and even ranges were introduced in astonishingly unexpected hues. Last years Pantone color of the year, Radiant Orchid, was repped in ovens by Dacor and a range by BlueStar. Now thats some commitment. But no worries if youre not jazzed by the purple family; BlueStar offers more than 750 color and finish selections.

Chicago designer John Wiltgen has never delved into brights in the more permanent parts of the kitchen. Instead hes paved backsplashes with expressive geometric patterns and popped in bright accessories. In his own home, he did wrap an entire kitchen wall in embossed snakeskin-like leather; still, its a muted gray.

Were doing two white kitchens right now, Wiltgen says. One is for a transplanted San Francisco couple who were remodeling for two years and then got transferred here. They hope to stay put, but they dont want the design to affect resale value.

Mike Chinelli of Chinelli Design Build in Orange City stands in the kitchen area of the great room in his courtyard model Belle Ferme in DeLand that is entered in the Volusia Building Industry Associations 2015 Parade of Homes that end today.

The 2015 Parade of Homes events for both the Volusia Building Industry Association and Flagler Home Builders Association draw to a close today.

The annual events, both of which began March 21, feature the latest in new home design and decor by builders throughout Volusia and Flagler counties.

All model homes in the self-guided tours will be open for public viewing from noon to 5 p.m.

The Volusia Parade of Homes features 61 new single-family model houses, townhouses, condominium units and communities. The Flagler parade features 32 entries.

Today is the final day for the general public to check out the largest annual Volusia County-wide showcase of area builders and the latest trends in new home construction, design and decor.

One of the entries in the Volusia parade is by Orange City-based builder Chinelli Design Build.

After a nine-year absence from the parade, Mike Chinelli entered a model home he has dubbed the Belle Ferme, a 4,000-square-foot, custom-built European-style farmhouse in DeLand that includes two courtyards and a swimming pool.

A lot of folks go thought the homes in the parade, so its great exposure, Chinelli said.

Chinelli started in the construction industry working for different contractors right out of DeLand High School in 1976. A few years later he formed a framing crew to support himself while he took some college courses.
