Going Bold
Vibrant designs and bold colors will play an important role in home designing in 2023. According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), home designs will be bolder, bigger, and overall better for the homeowner. You’ll see words like “sustainability,” “wellness,” and “expanding” when you’re deciding how to remodel your own home with the latest 2023 home remodeling trends. Take a look at what to expect in 2023.
Combining Design Elements
When it comes to vibrant design, the bold colors and accents in materials and themes will play a big role in homes. Homeowners want to combine multiple design elements and materials along with bold accents, splashes of color, and texture. A lot of these design elements will be sustainable and utilized in an expanded space. Breaking down walls to expand spaces will help add function or conceal clutter.
For kitchens, this means adding larger or double islands and walk-in pantries. For baths, this means adding a closet, dressing area, or two-person shower. Any decision regarding these is made with wellness in mind that will help create a sort of retreat for the mind and body.
Transitional is the big home design style this year. Just like transitional is a mix of modern and traditional, homeowners want to combine other design styles to create an updated look. For example, NKBA is noticing Modern Farmhouse, Classic Contemporary, Organic Modern, and Simple Transition.
Color plays a big role in these combinations. Homeowners are mixing warmer natural earthy tones, less gray and white, and more medium wood tones. Proving that homes are becoming more vibrant, we’re seeing richer colors overall such as coastal blues, greens, and organic neutrals in both the kitchen and bathroom.
Sustainability is Big
Homeowners pay close attention to what products and materials are sustainable. Some sustainable ideas include 100% LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances, VOC-free paints, increased natural light from low E windows, and energy-efficient faucets. Going hand in hand with sustainability is wellness.
Homeowners are looking for sanctuary, especially in the bathroom with spa-like experiences using earthy, muted colors and light wood tones to create natural, calming elements. Some popular spa-like features include large two-person showers, custom seats, multiple showerheads, steam showers, easy-to-clean surfaces like quartz and quartzite, and large windows to connect with the outdoors and maximize the use of natural light.
Expanding Spaces
Homeowners also want to open up their kitchen and bath spaces while also expanding the functionality of each to accommodate the changing nature of the home. Removing walls open these rooms up to adjoining areas. Larger islands have flexible functionality for food prep, dining, and work. Kitchens will love a walk-in, built-in or butler’s pantry for food and small appliance storage while bathrooms will love walk-in closets and sitting or dressing rooms.
Thriving Tech
Finally, technology continues to thrive in the home. Homeowners continue to adopt technology at a faster pace, specifically when it enables more individualized customization in the kitchen and bath. Technology will be used to create a personalized environment, using voice controls for lighting, water, and floor temperatures, as well as humidity monitoring. Smart appliances include touchless faucets, app-controlled appliances, whole house systems, and water conservation technology.
