If you're looking to give your home a much-needed facelift, why not get ahead of the curve and embrace some of the hottest renovation trends for 2023? From home offices to outdoor features and everything in between, this year's renovation trends are all about comfort, convenience, and connection.
Let's take a closer look at 8 of them below.
#1 Home Office
With more people than ever working from home these days, having a dedicated space for work is now more important than ever. Designate a corner or room in your house that can serve as an office space and make sure it has everything you need to be productive - good lighting (natural lighting), comfortable furniture, plenty of storage space and access to power outlets. You might also want to think about investing in noise canceling headphones and/or soundproofing materials if you live in a noisy area.
Side note: This could be a sign its time to move.
#2 Enhanced Outdoor Spaces and Features
Who doesn't love spending time outdoors? (Especially after spending the past 3 years in doors!) Create a beautiful outdoor oasis by adding things like fire pits, water features, pergolas or even just some comfortable seating areas with cozy blankets and pillows. If you have kids or pets (or both!), be sure to include kid-friendly play areas along with pet-friendly spaces as well.
Just imagine enjoying your summers at home in your back yard.
#3 Texture All-Around
2023 is all about refreshing your living spaces.
Adding texture to your walls, floors, furniture pieces etc. is one great way to add warmth and coziness to your space. Choose natural materials like wood or stone for floors along with knitted rugs or woven wall hangings for added texture. And don't forget about the importance of cushions! Soft textures like velvet or wool can go a long way in making any room feel inviting and cozy.
#4 Technology from Start To Finish
Smart technology isn't going anywhere anytime soon so why not incorporate it into your renovation project? From lighting systems that can be controlled remotely via voice command to automated shower systems that turn off when they sense no one is using them—there are countless smart solutions available today that can help make your home both energy efficient AND stylish at the same time!
#5 Going Bold
Don't be afraid to try something new when renovating your home this year! Whether it's bold wallpaper patterns or unique furniture pieces—go big or go home (literally!). Be sure not to overwhelm yourself though; pick just one accent wall or piece of furniture as the focal point of the room instead of trying too many things at once.
#6 Creating Side Hustle Spaces
(Because we all want to get out of the rat race, am I right?)
Working from home isn't just for entrepreneurs anymore – side hustles are all the rage these days! So why not create a designated side hustle space tailored specifically towards whatever line of work you do? This could include anything from extra storage space for supplies such as craft materials or bookshelves filled with research material if you're an investigative journalist; having this kind of dedicated workspace will help keep you motivated while still providing enough separation between "work mode" and "home mode."
Or you could create a craft room that could evolve into the side hustle space.
#7 Being Green Literally & Figuratively
This one goes without saying but make sure any renovations you undertake are done with sustainability in mind – both literally (by using green building materials) AND figuratively (by considering how much energy will be used).
For example; installing energy efficient light bulbs throughout the house is an easy fix that won't break the bank but can still have an impact on reducing electricity costs over time.
#8 Connecting With Nature
Natural elements like plants bring life into any living space – so don't forget about them when planning out your renovations! Incorporate plants into every room where possible; adding greenery around windowsills can help reduce air pollution plus it looks great too!
Food for thought: Think of plants as your air purifiers!
#9 Durable Surfaces
Durability should always be top priority when renovating any part of your house; choose surfaces that are resistant to wear-and-tear such as tile flooring instead of carpeting which tends to show signs of wear over time. Investing in quality materials now will save you money down the line since they won't need replacing anytime soon!
Think return on investment especially if you are thinking of selling your home in the near future.
#10 Sustainability: 5 Sustainable Building Materials That Won't Break The Bank
Being eco-friendly doesn't mean breaking the bank – there are plenty of sustainable building materials out there that won't cost an arm and a leg but will still make an impact on reducing energy consumption long term!
Some great examples include recycled plastic lumber made from post-consumer waste products such as milk jugs; cork flooring made from renewable resources; bamboo which is fast growing making it extremely sustainable; reclaimed wood taken from old buildings being torn down; low VOC paints which emit fewer toxins into indoor air quality – incredibly efficient yet affordable.
Conclusion:
When renovating your house plan ahead properly–you'll thank yourself later when everyone's oohing and ahhing over how great everything looks!
Keep these popular trends in mind when planning out what changes you'd like to make–from creating side hustle spaces tailored specifically towards whatever line of work you do to using green building materials that won't break the bank. Plus who knows–maybe next year YOU'LL be setting THE trend ;) !
