Trending Interior Remodeling Ideas

Guest Post by Andrea Erickson

Remodeling is one of the best ways to reimagine your home. This step gives you the opportunity to recreate your property, invest in comforts and luxury, or even boost it to a level that will increase its value so you can sell it.

If you’re ready to update your property and aren’t sure where to start, these are some of the most popular remodeling ideas that we see in homes across the country!

Storage That Makes a Difference

We collect countless items throughout our lifetime. These are pieces that can mean a lot to us or can simply be items we really like to look at and aren’t just clutter. Unfortunately, the average home isn’t built to handle all of this. Therefore, over a quarter of Americans currently rent or own a storage unit that’s not on their property.

One of the largest home remodeling trends right now is to add as much storage, in attractive ways, as possible. This can mean building a wall of shelving that replaces the aesthetic of a gallery wall or creating clever storage in your garage and spare rooms. 

Although you should consider buying a larger property if it’s still not enough room, building on this amount of storage is a great selling point almost anyone could use.

Adding Visual Texture

Visual texture can tell a story through great details. It is also one of the best ways to create a home that flows. For some, this might mean adding gorgeous millwork to some walls, while for others, it’s more similar to adding shiplap walls and accents.

Don’t be afraid to let natural wood colors stand out in areas like your kitchen! This is a trending design choice in kitchens that’s replacing the all-white kitchen that continues to be popular in kitchens across the country.

Creating the Office of Your Dreams

Home offices are a trend that’s not going away any time soon, so it’s important to invest in making yours into a great space. This means taking the time to cut down on noise through acoustic panels and creating an area where you can switch to a more professional mindset.

Although there’s no wrong way to remodel your office, you should be paying attention to details that will make it easier to work in. Some have started adding mini-fridges built into cabinets so they can keep hydrated while working, but it depends on your needs!

Major Bathroom Overhaul

One of the most popular updates in many homes in 2023 is going to be the bathroom oasis. This is a large update that takes your bathroom from a simple room into a space where you can lounge and let the stress of the day melt off of you. This can be combined with other trends, like a white shiplap bathroom, but the main goal should be creating a space that’s comfortable and inviting.

Adding things like an anti-fog mirror, built-in bluetooth speakers, touchless faucets, a large tub, and a spacious shower with heated floors can make this into a room you’ll never want to leave!

Flooring That Handles It All

Your floors need to be able to handle anything that’s thrown at them. Although most flooring can handle some use, you don’t want a tile that shatters easily or wood floors that stain and scuff. 

Painted concrete and cork are two of the most recently popular choices. Both of these are sustainable, look fantastic, and can be just as comfortable as wood floors: while lasting far longer. 

Touches of Luxury Throughout

Luxury is one of the best parts of life, giving you an opportunity to enjoy something fun and feel like you’re living in an entirely new home. This can be small things, like a heated shower floor, or you can go big by adding smart lighting and window shades throughout the property.

Consider what matters and is fun for you, and then go for it! Although this can be pricey, if you’re not aiming to sell and you just want to treat yourself it’s worth it!

Minor Kitchen Remodel

A minor kitchen may not sound like a big shift, but if you’re considering selling your home, it’s a great choice. Little kitchen remodels bring a higher return on investment than a full remodel and still give you a chance to make something delightful and new. 

The best way to make this work is to consider two or three projects you want to complete that will cost less than 5% of your property’s value. This could mean replacing appliances, adding a new backsplash, staining and painting your cabinets yourself or adding resilient tile flooring. Don’t go overboard, or you can hurt your return on this investment.
