As fall is approaching, there are many trends that we see homeowners doing! Here are a few of the renovations trends and ideas that we are seeing in our projects. From kitchens to bathrooms to additions to exteriors, here is what we are seeing.
Overall, fall will be moody! As minimalism is out, and personal expression in your home is in, so using deep colors and tones is definitely in. Dark woods are a great choice for homes, and can be a defining trait for a room.
In kitchens, darker cabinetry with light countertops is an excellent choice, or dark floors make a room look sleek, with whatever type of furniture. It will be moody and cozy, which fall is known for. It is versatile, and can be an excellent choice for anyone who is renovating in the future. Dark tones are great for nature toned homes, rather than super bright colors.
Wellness aesthetic. In 2026, people are prioritizing their health and wellness, so renovating your home with this intention in mind is common. Bathroom renovations are often done to promote the most relaxation and rejuvenation in the space. Calming colors, earthy tones are great, especially for bathrooms, with either a nature theme or beach-themed.
Renovations overall, are being done more to live in their home long-term rather than renovate to sell. People are renovating for longevity, and to be safe for them or their families as they age into older adulthood. As the economy develops, people are living in more multi-generational homes, and renovating now to alleviate the strains later is a decision that is being made more and more.
Alongside renovations being built for long-term renovations is putting laundry on the first floor. It’s a great way to keep older family members off the stairs, and having it on the first floor makes it much more convenient overall. Laundry is a task that everyone does, and having it close by can remove any small level of inconvenience. Some people can often put the laundry machines in the mudrooms, which is an excellent choice.
Another trend is mudrooms with locker system cabinetry! With homeowners with many children, having a dedicated area or room for organization is an excellent idea. They can be as small as a single set of cabinetry, but having the extra organization can help keep a household clean, and prevent items from being lost. They can be versatile with how your things are organized, and can change as your household gets older.
Open-concept floorplans are still in trend, and they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. They are excellent for hosting parties or dinners, improve communication throughout the house, and create a strong flow throughout the house. It’s delightful to have for families with young children, as it’s easier to supervise them.
As the housing market becomes more and more expensive, people are renovating their pre-existing spaces, and basements are one of the most popular ones. It’s a great way to get more space in your home with adding an extension on or other renovations that affect the rest of your home. It’s a great way to get a playroom or movie room in your home and create another casual space.
Finally, a huge trend is porch patios. As the weather remains nice, creating an outdoor space is an excellent way to create more space in a home to relax. As fall approaches, having bonfires and relaxing time in the fresh air is a lovely idea for after work or on the weekends.
