Home Remodeling Trends
We Expect to See in 2024

As we head into the New Year, let’s continue our predictions on what trends we expect to see in 2024. We’ve already taken a look at some of the colors, materials, and new features we think will be popular in the bathroom and the kitchen, so today, let’s cover the rest of the home.

Earth Inspired Spaces

Serene spaces inspired by nature will continue to be popular in 2024. What some call the biophilic design trend has been growing in popularity since 2020 and is not backing down anytime soon. Earthy tones and materials make a room feel cozy, warm, and welcoming and can even boost your mood.

To get in on this trend, you'll want to include Earth-inspired colors like ocean blue, sage green, and warm, golden yellows. When these colors are paired with materials like travertine and warm woods, you'll have a cohesive space that feels inviting. Lastly, dress up the space with some live plants to really bring the outdoors in.

How to Get a Luxury Remodel without Breaking the Bank

In home remodeling, the word "luxury" makes you think of high-end finishes, lavish fixtures, and opulent designs. While these elements can undoubtedly enhance the overall aesthetic of a home, not everyone can afford the big price tag. 

But luxury doesn't have to come with a hefty cost. With thoughtful planning and strategic choices, you can elevate your home remodeling project while keeping the budget at a reasonable level.

Here are some ways to get a luxurious remodel on a budget.

Splurge on High-Impact Areas

The best thing you can do is allocate your resources wisely. Instead of spreading yourself thin across the entire house, concentrate on high-impact areas that will make a significant difference. Spaces like the kitchen and bathroom often provide the best return on investment, as these are rooms where luxury is most noticeable.

Consider investing in a statement piece, such as a stylish backsplash in the kitchen or a luxurious vanity in the bathroom. These focal points can create an immediate sense of opulence without requiring a substantial budget.

Look for Affordable, Elegant Hardware

Faucets and cabinet hardware are the jewelry of your kitchen or bath. They can look great without having to be expensive. Swap out standard faucets and cabinet handles for more sophisticated, stylish options. Brushed nickel, matte black, or brass finishes are all on-trend and can instantly elevate the look of your space.

Your remodeling contractor can help you find pieces that exude luxury without the premium price tag.

Choose Timeless Materials

Luxury doesn't always mean choosing the most expensive materials; it's about selecting those that stand the test of time. Look for durable and classic materials like granite or quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathroom. These materials not only look luxurious, but also last forever. And that adds value to your home.

In flooring, hardwood or wood-look tiles provide an elegant touch and are more budget-friendly than some other options. Investing in quality materials upfront can save you money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.

Use Lighting Creatively

The right lighting can transform a room, giving it a more luxurious feel. Consider installing statement light fixtures, such as a chandelier in the dining room or pendant lights in the kitchen. These additions can become focal points, adding a touch of glamour to your space.

To save on costs, explore affordable lighting options at local retailers or online marketplaces. Sometimes, a well-chosen, budget-friendly light fixture can have the same impact as a high-end piece.

Add DIY Accents and Personal Touches

If you’re the kind of person who likes to get creative, you can add your own personal touch to what your remodeling contractor does for you. Personalize your space by creating custom accent walls using affordable materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or reclaimed wood. These features can add a unique and luxurious feel to your home without a hefty price tag.

Consider upcycling existing furniture with a fresh coat of paint or new hardware. Incorporating personal touches and unique elements into your space can contribute to a sense of luxury that reflects your individual style.

Getting luxury in your home remodeling project is not just about the price tag; it's about making strategic choices that enhance the overall look and feel of your space.

By focusing on high-impact areas, choosing timeless materials, and getting creative with budget-friendly options, you can create a luxurious home that not only reflects your style but also keeps your budget reasonable.
