CHICAGO (AP) — The Museum of Science and Industry’s Smart Home has gotten a 2010 makeover by interior designers for Midwest Living magazine.
The popular Chicago exhibit reopens on Thursday. Its new design reflects the lifestyle of empty-nesters looking to minimize home maintenance and maximize efficiency. The redesign features soft, organic textures and colors, and aims to combine beauty with function.
The eco-friendly exhibit’s green technology and materials are a showcase of ideas for homeowners seeking to make their own spaces more environmentally friendly.
The Smart Home first opened in May 2008. It has drawn more than 200,000 visitors since then.
