It’s looking like 2017 will be the year of design and technology trends that make you go “Whaaaaaat?” We’re talking intelligent toilets that do everything but that, voice-activated home assistants that can find a recipe, turn on the lights, play your favorite music, warm up the hot tub or perform a variety of tasks at your command. How about an outside shower that’s not really outside, or Dutch doors that open to the outside while keeping pets and kids inside? Ready to break the Starbucks habit? Create your own gourmet blends with your own amped-up coffee station. See these and other awe-inspiring home design ideas for 2017 on Houzz. Then imagine making the New Year your year for breaking out of the home design doldrums!
