Stop Scrolling! The Top 5 Home Updates You Need - NOW.
Forget Google! I’ve got the top home renovation and design trends you are buzzing about, straight from Google—and tailored answers just for YOU! From sustainable choices and functional upgrades to cozy, inviting spaces, here’s what you’re searching to create the home of your dreams.
Sustainable Materials and Eco-Friendly Upgrades Common questions center around sustainable materials, water-saving fixtures, and energy-efficient installations, including tankless water heaters and smart thermostats. I have also been asked about ways to incorporate recycled or reclaimed materials, vintage furniture + upcycling some of their favorite furniture pieces to give them new LIFE.
Multi-Functional Spaces Google says another area homeowners are asking about relates to designing flexible spaces, such as home offices that double as guest rooms or a built-in banquette with storage. Even creating spaces that can be reconfigured based on daily needs like a playroom/home gym combo is popular. Pocket doors, multi-functional furniture and partitioned layouts are in demand and the perfect project for an interior designer to help you navigate.
Warmer and Cozier Interior Design We’re finally moving away from sterile whites + industrial aesthetics and there’s an increased demand for “cozy” and welcoming spaces that incorporate warmer tones and natural textures. Homeowners are asking about integrating warmer lighting, rich, deep tones in kitchens and organic materials like fluted woods and natural stone to make spaces feel more inviting.
Lighting and Fixture Updates One of the easiest, yet most impactful updates are lighting upgrades and new fixtures. Questions about selecting timeless, versatile lighting options and adding ambient lighting to create mood are a big ask. Updates to fixtures, such as faucets and cabinet hardware, are also popular ways to refresh kitchens and bathrooms without major renovations. Brass and soft gold are still the front runners for timeless style but polished chrome and black may be making a comeback.
Outdoor Living Spaces Demand for enhanced outdoor areas continues, with questions around creating "outdoor rooms" that are both functional and aesthetic. This includes landscaping ideas, sustainable garden designs and outdoor furniture that can transform patios into year-round extensions of indoor spaces.
These key areas offer a variety of practical yet stylish improvement opportunities that boost comfort, sustainability, and appeal for potential future resale. Feel free to reach out if I can help you tackle one of these spaces in your home!
