Home Remodeling Trends for 2023

Home remodeling is on the rise as interest rates continue to climb. Many homeowners are choosing to stay put and invest in their current homes rather than face the high costs of moving. If you're considering remodeling your home, working with a design-build firm can help ensure your project is a success. With the help of a professional team, you can incorporate design trends without falling prey to fleeting fads. Here are some design trends that we've seen and incorporated into our projects.

The 'All-White Kitchen' is out

While white kitchens are timeless and always in style, homeowners are increasingly seeking out warmer, cozier spaces. White oak is a great option to add warmth and texture to your kitchen while still maintaining a classic look. It's a hardwood, making it a durable choice for busy households with kids and pets. We often use white oak in conjunction with white cabinets, featuring it on the kitchen island and as a band on the range hood. Painted cabinets in colors such as blues, greens, and off-whites are also gaining popularity, especially when paired with unique hardware.

Don't be afraid to go bold

If you have a favorite color, why not incorporate it into your home decor? Add a pop of color as an accent in wallpaper or tile, or even in a smaller space like a powder room or study. Be playful and have fun with it! Don't be afraid to experiment with bolder, brighter colors.

Mix Metals

Mixing metals within the same space adds interest and gives a designer feel to any room. Manufacturers are starting to mix metals, like black and gold, on products including faucets and lighting. You can do the same thing in your kitchen with appliances and hardware. It's no longer necessary to match everything. Instead, focus on complementing your metals and creating a cohesive look throughout your space.

Rethink Your Space

You don't always need to move or add on to get the space you need. Consider creating a room that has multiple functions to maximize your existing square footage. For example, we've been incorporating murphy beds into guest bedrooms so that they can function as an office or playroom when not in use. We've also been finishing a lot of basements lately, turning them into the workout room, bar, or man-cave that homeowners have always wanted.

Remodeling your home can be a daunting task, but with the right design-build firm and the latest design trends in mind, you can create a beautiful, functional space that will last for years to come. Incorporate warmth, boldness, mixed metals, and multifunctional spaces to make your house feel like a home. Don't be afraid to take risks and make your design unique to your personal style.
