Home remodeling trends for 2025 focus on creating functional, accommodating, flexible, and stylish homes with eye-catching accents. Explore Stewart Remodeling’s list of popular home remodeling trends for ideas on elevating your space and boosting its value.
Spa-Like Bathrooms
Why go to a spa when you can bring the spa experience home? For many homeowners, luxurious bathrooms are a must-have for relaxation and rejuvenation. They want to transform their bathroom into a serene retreat that rivals the most luxurious spas, offering ultimate relaxation at home.
Luxurious bathrooms with steam showers and soaking tubs offer a sanctuary for relaxation. Features like rainfall showerheads, aromatherapy steam options, and sleek modern fixtures elevate the bathroom experience.
High-end bathroom remodels typically bring a 55-70% return on investment (ROI) because luxury bathrooms are a strong selling point for prospective buyers.
Accent Walls With Texture
Elevate your interiors with accent walls adding depth, texture, and a bold design style. Bold textures like wood slats, plaster, or wallpaper add character and dimension to any room. For example, a reclaimed wood wall can add rustic charm, and artsy wallpaper introduces a modern aesthetic.
These affordable upgrades can enhance appeal with a 40-60% ROI, offering an easy way to make a space stand out.
Kitchen Islands With Seating
The heart of the home gets even more versatile with multipurpose kitchen islands. Multifunctional islands serve as dining, prep, and socializing hubs. Features like built-in storage, integrated appliances, and barstool seating make them highly desirable in modern kitchens.
A well-designed island upgrade can offer a 60-80% ROI because it’s practical and visually appealing.
Open Concept Layouts
Open floor plans remain a popular home remodeling project. Removing walls to create open layouts enhances natural light flow, improves social interactions, and makes homes feel larger.
Open layouts typically offer a 60-75% ROI, especially in older homes with common compartmentalized designs.
Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring
Get the look of hardwood without the price tag or upkeep with a luxury vinyl plank (LVP). Durable, water-resistant, and cost-effective, LVP flooring mimics hardwood at a fraction of the price. It’s perfect for high-traffic areas or households with pets.
Flooring upgrades generally provide a 70-80% ROI because they are practical and stylish.
Bold Kitchen Cabinet Colors
Make your kitchen pop with bold and trendy cabinet colors. Deep blues, greens, and matte finishes are replacing traditional whites. These colors add personality and sophistication, creating a modern yet timeless kitchen.
A cabinet refresh can yield a 60-75% ROI with minimal investment compared to complete kitchen remodels.
Outdoor Living Spaces With Kitchens
Backyards are evolving into functional, stylish, valuable extension of living space. This outdoor space is viewed as more than just grass and shrubs. It’s also a place for relaxation and entertainment.
Cooking and dining alfresco are popular, especially in warmer climates. Bring your culinary adventures outdoors with a fully-equipped kitchen with a built-in grill, pizza oven, refrigerator, and dining area.
Modern outdoor space also includes an entertainment area with a fire pit, pergola, and outdoor seating.
Outdoor spaces can deliver a 60-80% ROI, especially in regions with mild climates where outdoor living is popular year-round. Outdoor kitchens typically yield a 50-70% ROI.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Blur the lines between indoors and outdoors for a seamless living experience. Large sliding or folding doors create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Materials like glass, steel, or wood ensure durability and aesthetic appeal.
Enhancing indoor-outdoor flow can bring a 65-85% ROI because it appeals to buyers looking for flexible entertaining spaces.
Modern Light Fixtures
Gone are the days of boring light fixtures in homes. Add beauty and style by installing creative, unique, and artsy light fixtures that make statements. Select lighting that accents the aesthetics of each room. Consider selecting different metals, shapes, textures, and styles of light fixtures.
Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors
Modernize your home with energy-efficient windows and doors. Modern windows and doors can enhance the beauty and comfort of your home and reduce your energy bills. Double or triple-pane glass, low-E coatings, and well-insulated doors prevent drafts and improve thermal efficiency.
Expect a 65-75% ROI, with immediate savings on energy costs and increased home comfort.
