Rather than focusing solely on financial ROI in home renovation, homeowners are increasingly taking on remodeling projects that offer priceless personal benefits. With a rising focus on wellness, homeowners are testing out new technology like indoor air quality systems and are paying closer attention to the chemicals and materials going into their home renovations, Forbes reports.
In order to simplify home chores, homeowners are relying on smarter appliances with a range of user capabilities, and to create more relaxing spaces to unwind, many are also investing in their bathrooms to create at-home spas.
