Some interesting changes are underway in the design of upscale homes.
Similar changes will be seen in lower-priced homes as lifestyles influence design. With increasing emphasis on learning, more homes will include libraries. In many cases, the libraries will be better described as learning rooms, with plenty of media features. Living rooms and sitting rooms will disappear, as people prefer more active interpersonal communication. Large kitchens and bathrooms will be popular as homes become more like secure resort environments.
