Maybe you’ve noticed for a while that your home might be teetering on the edge of what people call “dated.” Or perhaps you passed that milestone a while back. We get it. Time flies, and before you know it, decades have whizzed right by. In this blog post, we’ll review some popular remodeling trends for 2023 that may provide some inspiration.
There are many benefits if you’ve been thinking about a home remodeling project this year. Remodeling projects can increase your home’s value, modernize critical areas, increase energy efficiency, ensure your home functions in alignment with your family’s needs, and improve your lifestyle by adding convenience – and even luxury.
Here are six remodeling trends for 2023 (and beyond) that can help improve form, function, and lifestyle!
1. Luxury/Spa Bathrooms
Our physical environment plays a significant role in our mental, physical, and emotional health. We have a lot of stress daily, and people want their homes to be an escape. Luxury baths have been an emerging remodeling trend for several years, and this is one of the areas where homeowners continue to focus. Combining the calming features of spa baths, large modern showers, and heated floors with other luxury features into a bathroom with built-in cabinets and shelving that provide both comfort and beauty provide an oasis for unwinding and optimal functionality.
Luxurious bathtubs, walk-in showers with multiple showerheads, beautiful shelves and cabinetry, built-in mirror lighting and charging stations, radiant flooring, heated towel racks, bidets, and mood lighting are just a few popular bathroom remodeling trends you might consider.
2. Window Walls
Large window walls or glass walls are making a memorable comeback. Sleek and modern floor-to-ceiling windows (the kind that offers more view and less window) can be a focal point in any room, provide gorgeous natural light, and make a space feel more open.
3. Large Kitchen Islands With Storage
Kitchen islands have always been on trend. However, large kitchen islands designed to be multifunctional with additional storage remain one of the most popular homeowner remodeling “wish list” items.
If you have children who do their homework in the kitchen or plenty of kitchen appliances, gadgets, and devices you would like out of sight, a kitchen island built with storage in mind is a win-win.
Multifunctional kitchen islands can include everything from Lazy Susan storage solutions to different-sized drawers to hide away all of the extra “stuff” that doesn’t have a home, causing clutter and taking up precious counter space. Large kitchen islands with built-in storage also make an excellent selling point if and when your home goes on the market.
4. Multifunctional Rooms
Regardless of your home’s size, a multifunctional room allows you to “do more” without the hassle. And who doesn’t need more flexibility in their lives these days? Multifunctional rooms can seemingly add to your home’s square footage by providing extra kitchen prep space, a quiet place for school or remote work setup, a playroom, a home gym, or even convert into a spare bedroom when you have overnight guests.
If you’re thinking about an addition or remodeling project and your current space is limited, a multipurpose room that can do “double duty” can help you make the most out of the space you have!
5. Drop Zones/Mudrooms with Storage
Mudrooms and drop zones are another home remodeling trend that has been coming back over the past decade or so. Not only are they great for storing outdoor gear like shoes, jackets, umbrellas, backpacks, dog leashes, and more, but they can also incorporate storage solutions.
If you’d love to rid the clutter from an entryway, hallway, etc., a mudroom/drop zone area is the ideal designated space for storing everyone’s daily go-to items. A drop zone can be as simple as transforming a small space with a bench, a hook, a basket for each family member, and a shoe rack or something more extensive, like a custom cubby for each person with built-in storage, shelves for phone charging, and more. Simple or elaborate, a drop zone or mudroom can help get you on the path to a more organized home!
6. Built-In Storage
Let’s face it. Many of us end up having a lot of “stuff.” Some of it is necessary, and some might be sentimental, but keeping our belongings safe and organized is big business and likely a trend that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Custom built-in storage solutions are a request we often hear from homeowners. Anything that helps us make the most of our space is always good. Built-in cabinets, benches, bookshelves, customized cubbies, and hideaway storage in the kitchen island all help us keep things looking beautiful visually while at the same time maximizing the spaces we have to work with.
