Home Renovation Trends for 2025
As we look toward the future of home renovation, it’s clear that homeowners are prioritizing spaces that cater to comfort, sustainability, and adaptability. In 2025, design trends will focus not only on aesthetics but also on functionality, personal well-being, and environmental responsibility.
Here are some key trends to watch for—and how you can incorporate them into your own home.
1. Smart Homes, Smarter Living
In 2025, smart home technology is more than a luxury—it’s a standard feature that many expect. Voice-controlled assistants, app-connected appliances, and integrated home monitoring systems offer seamless solutions that go beyond convenience. Imagine adjusting lighting, heating, and security systems with a touch of your phone or voice command, no matter where you are. Glickman can help you make this upgrade.
How our team can help:
- Smart thermostats, automated lighting, and window treatments that respond to the time of day and weather conditions.
- Installing integrated home networks that allow appliances, security systems, and entertainment devices to communicate with each other.
- Help find systems that are easy to update, ensuring your home stays technologically relevant over the years.
2. Sustainable Materials and Eco-Friendly Solutions
Environmental responsibility is no longer a niche interest; it’s a priority for many homeowners. Thankfully, we are seeing more sustainably sourced materials, energy-efficient appliances, and eco-friendly construction methods. Whether it’s reclaimed wood for flooring, recycled glass countertops, or highly efficient HVAC systems, Glickman can suggest many ways to reduce your carbon footprint without compromising style or comfort.
How our team can help:
- Find locally sourced and sustainable building materials like bamboo, cork, or reclaimed wood.
- Install energy-efficient appliances and water-saving fixtures.
- Incorporate natural light through larger, high-quality windows or skylights to reduce energy usage and create a brighter, more inviting space.
3. Flexibility and Multi-Use Spaces
The events of the last few years have taught us that homes need to be adaptable. This year the traditional model of single-purpose rooms gives way to more flexible layouts. Home offices that double as guest rooms, dining areas that transform into classrooms, and living rooms designed for remote work sessions will all become the norm. Even adding a small addition where needed can multiply the use of a space!
How our team can help:
- Install an addition to any space to improve functionality.
- Customize built-ins that provide both display and hidden storage, making it simple to switch from work mode to relaxation time.
- Design open-concept layouts that allow you to reconfigure the flow of your home as your needs change.
4. Biophilic Design and Indoor-Outdoor Harmony
Connecting with nature has proven benefits for mental and emotional well-being. Homeowners are seeking biophilic design elements that bring the outdoors in. We expect to see more indoor greenery, natural materials, earthy color palettes, and spaces designed to blur the lines between inside and out this year!
How our team can help:
- Install large sliding or folding glass doors that open onto patios, decks, or gardens, extending your living area into the outdoors.
- Design living walls and natural materials like stone, rattan, or jute to create a calming, organic atmosphere.
- Install windows to maximize views of nature, sunlight, and fresh air.
5. High-End Customization and Personalization
As many seek to create living spaces that reflect their unique identities, custom details will become increasingly popular. From bespoke cabinetry and millwork to one-of-a-kind lighting fixtures and artisanal tilework, the focus will be on quality craftsmanship and personalization.
How our team can help:
- Create custom solutions tailored to your lifestyle and taste, whether it’s a wine cellar, a reading nook, or a spa-inspired bathroom.
- Select materials, colors, and patterns that speak to your personality, ensuring your home feels like a true extension of who you are.
- Install custom-built storage tailored to your collections, hobbies, or equipment to keep your home clutter-free and visually cohesive.
6. Aging in Place and Inclusive Design
The biggest trend we see in 2025 is an increase of prioritizing inclusive design and aging in place solutions. With an aging population and a growing desire to stay in our homes longer, inclusive and aging-in-place designs are growing wildly popular. We expect to see more universal design principles—like step-free entryways, wider doorways, and easily accessible controls—to be seamlessly integrated into renovations, making homes comfortable and safe for all ages and abilities.
How our team can help:
- Install lever-style door handles, rocker switches, and touchless faucets for easier use by everyone in the household.
- Install curbless showers, comfort-height toilets, and enhanced lighting to improve visibility and safety.
- Implement thoughtful layouts that eliminate barriers and ensure that every area of your home is easily accessible.
