Remodeling trends are always shifting, but one thing remains constant; more homeowners than ever plan to renovate or remodel their homes. Surveys show that 90% of all American homeowners plan to remodel their houses at some point. Nearly 40% of those homeowners are planning a renovation in the next two years.

If you're looking to 2024 towards the latest trends, you'll find innovation and playfulness with color, materials, and functionality. Here's what to expect and how to borrow from the latest trends for your home.

1. Gold Tones

This fall and winter, expect more gold-tone paint, fixtures, and decor warming up trend-setting remodels. If you're unsure how to incorporate more gold into your home, start with light fixtures. Oversized pendants are popular this season.

Or, for a luxurious touch, add gold-trimmed bar stools and cabinet pulls to your kitchen remodel in Houston. For your living room, you can also consider gold flourishes around your fireplace and windows.

2. Diversify Your Remodeling Materials

Two-tone kitchens are trending for their contrasting colors and materials. There's far more flexibility in how you approach your kitchen design. Today's trends embrace mixing wood, stone, and ceramic in one place. The two-tone kitchen also pairs well with the gold trend, enhancing your space with sleek touches. You can still choose the oversized marble kitchen island but look to wooden storage underneath or metal light fixtures above.

3. Get Vintage

Vintage trends come and go, but the remodeling trends for 2023 embrace what you already have. You don't need to gut your kitchen (unless you want to) and can build on your original space to create a vintage cottage look. Keechi Creek Builder's design team can discuss options that nod to vintage tile and colors without losing your desired modern functionality.

4. Colorful Walls

Get bold with your color selection this fall and winter with pop accent walls and borders. Choose colors you didn't dare to experiment with before, like bright green or blue, soft gold, and pink. Or make that small office feel expansive with a sea green accent wall for an eye-catching design.

5. Outdoor Showers

As pool and outdoor kitchen designers, Keechi Creek Builders loves helping clients reclaim their backyards and turn them into highly functional spaces. Fortunately, the Texas heat turns ideas like an outdoor shower into a reality nearly year-round. This 2023 trend maximizes your time outdoors without giving up your creature comforts. Take a swim, enjoy a hot shower, make dinner in your kitchen under the stars, and lounge in an outdoor living room with a television, a full bar, and lounge space.

6. Luxury Lighting

Luxury lighting takes center stage to soften your home. The trends point to oversized pendants, bubble lights, textured glass, and gold-toned fixtures in your lighting scheme. You can also look for clean, geometric shapes and lamps that embody the 1970s and Art Deco vibe. Practical, no-nonsense track lighting is also trending, can help enhance your space, and could be the perfect choice for a man cave, garage, or recreational room.

7. Functional Alcoves

Turn those empty nooks and awkward areas into highly functional spaces. Our design and renovation team can work with you to create a wine alcove or serving area that frees up more room in your kitchen or entertaining area.

Our team can also turn that small space under your stairs into a pet space. Add a decorative door that shuts and tucks away dog toys and beds when company comes by.

8. Designer Laundry and Mud Rooms

Above all else, laundry rooms and mud rooms are functional, but that doesn't mean they can't be luxurious. Transform these spaces to add sinks, high-end cabinetry, built-in benches, and comprehensive storage solutions. You can also mount a television or entertainment system to make your weekend laundry chores more fun.

9. Embrace Self Care

Wellness is more than a practice or state of mind; it's also a home remodeling trend for 2023. Create emotional escape spaces, like renovating a room dedicated to sipping wine and listening to music with an incredible surround sound system. A bathroom spa or sauna creates a private area for instant, high-luxury relaxation.

Even your kitchen can embrace wellness with touches like a built-in window seat, socializing area, composting station, oversized storage for healthy food, and anything else that makes you feel like you're living your best life. Consider blending soft decor and all-natural touches like bamboo and soft white hues to enhance that feeling of wellness.

10. Expand Your Vision

Whether you love bold, colorful backsplashes and walls or enjoy getting creative with lighting, you can lean into new, emerging remodeling trends for 2023 to find fresh ideas. It's not about keeping up with the trends but embracing them to enhance your home and style. The team at Keechi Creek Builders is here to help identity what you want out of your home functionally and aesthetically, to find the balance of both.
