2018 is quickly coming to an end! Therefore, our team has been compiling the best home renovation trends for the upcoming year. Renovating your home creates a unique space for you and your family to enjoy. Renovating can also increase the value of your home which can help increase the listing price if you are looking to put your home on the market in the near future.

#1 Natural Stone Countertops

Natural stone countertops are timeless, so it is no surprise that homeowners and interior decorators are shifting their focus towards them. Marble and quartz countertops are the most popular choices. Both stones are incredible countertop materials, but there are some benefits to choosing one over the other. Marble countertops are generally more fragile and require more upkeep. But, each stone offers a truly unique appearance that cannot be recreated (Which can be a drawback when repairs are necessary). Quartz countertops are highly durable and also come in a wide variety of colors, cuts, and finishes. Contact our team today for more advice and guidance in choosing your natural stone countertop.

#2 Natural Finishes

This trend is another reason why natural stone countertops are gaining even more popularity! For a more natural kitchen, you may consider a less polished finish on your countertops. Plants and flowers also bring a more natural and green feeling to any home.

#3 Light and Bright

While this trend has been on the rise for the past few years, it will most certainly come to a head in 2019. Light and bright floor plans are extremely popular among both house seekers and interior decorators. When renovating, consider which spaces could benefit from some more light, usually the kitchen, bathroom(s) and the central living room. If installing new windows isn’t an option, there are many small lighting fixtures that make a huge difference, like under cabinet LEDs.

#4 Getting Smarter

There is an increasing amount of smart home technology on the market. From robots to temperature and security devices, technology is making its place in our everyday life. If your appliances are older, new “smart” appliances can be a great addition to your home. These appliances are also likely more budget friendly since they don’t require as much energy or water as previous models.

#5 Look Up

Ceilings don’t have to be boring anymore! Homeowners and decorators across the nation are finally taking hold of the giant decoration opportunity that ceilings provide. Painting the ceiling a bold statement color will certainly draw eyes upwards, but so will interesting beam or molding details.
