With a new year comes a chance to reinvent yourself and your home. If you are considering a whole home remodel this upcoming year, you might be interested in a few of the trends we are seeing in the home renovation market. Whether you have classic tastes or appreciate a more modern aesthetic, the team at Virginia Design Group is here to make 2023 the year in which you love your home again.
Natural Textures and Materials
Luxury homeowners are looking for a more natural look in 2023. We are seeing and hearing about using jute, woven wood, macrame, and natural stone materials throughout the home. Jute, sisal, and seagrass rugs can bring a calming, coastal feel to any room, while the iconic 1970s macrame art can add a unique touch to your mudroom, entryway, or casual living space. Bright colors and botanical themes are also popular, whether on painted accent walls or wallpapered powder rooms. Homeowners want their space to feel unique and personal while they connect to the natural world around them. The use of plaster and micro-cement in kitchens and bathrooms is also unusual yet appealing to clients who want an earthy, outdoors look. This material is durable and waterproof while adding distinctive texture to the space.
We also expect to see pine wood making an impression this year as homeowners prioritize wood floors, natural-looking kitchens, dining room tables with rough-hewn edges, and wood cabinetry in their home renovations. Look for more intricate millwork designs that are fluted, reeded, or scalloped on cabinetry, molding, and walls around the home.
Mid-Century Design Style is Waning
As far as home design styles go, we’re seeing the mid-century design style waning in popularity as more and more home remodels in Virginia move toward a ‘70s style. You’ll see some bold and moody color palettes as well as green, brown, and orange hues that harken back to the ‘70s while simultaneously emphasizing a natural look. Fluted wood panels also echo the more retro decor.
The designer’s challenge is to infuse the space with a modern flair while incorporating the ‘70s design aesthetic. Rich tones, colorful patterns, and antique or heirloom furniture contribute to the popularity of the vintage look. Upcycling is another one of 2023’s anticipated trends. Homeowners who are working with a company on a home remodel can get to work on their own “fixer-upper,” upcycling projects within the home while also doing something good for the environment through repurposing antique furniture. Perfecting the art of mixing the old and the new aesthetics makes it an exciting time to be a home remodeler.
Sustainability for Remodeling Projects in 2023
Sustainability and environmentally conscious design are remodeling project trends that are here to stay. There are many ways to renovate your home with energy efficiency in mind. Any luxury remodel should include energy-efficient windows, smart programmable thermostats, ridge vent roofing, high-quality attic, and wall insulation, as well as appliances that promise energy savings. For those energy-conscious homeowners who want to do more, rooftop solar panels are also an option. As a home remodeler with sustainability top of mind, it is important for us to build long-lasting, beautiful homes that will stand the test of time. High-quality custom construction lets you do more with your budget and leads to less waste.
We also want to consider your family’s needs, both at the time of the project and going into the future. Building a home that will serve you now and in the future or to accommodate today’s ever-popular multi-generational living arrangements are priorities at Virginia Design Group. We have a beautiful design portfolio of Central Virginia remodeling projects that showcase our work with clients to make their homes both beautiful and functional for any family need.
Emphasis on Wellness and Self-Care Trends in Your Home
Health and wellness should be a high priority for everyone. We have seen the importance of prioritizing self-care at home in many recent remodeling trends, including the abundance of spa bathrooms, soothing workspaces, and home offices.
At Virginia Design Group, we have extensive experience with luxury bathroom remodels and know what it takes to create a spa bathroom oasis. Neutral, relaxing tones should make you feel calm as soon as you enter the master bathroom. Heated flooring and towel racks can make you cozy at the end of a long day. We’re seeing a return to natural stone and marble in luxury bathrooms and a shift away from quartz. Our focus in 2023 is how to include natural elements into your bathroom design to create a tranquil space.
Perhaps your self-care resolution involves more recreational entertainment. Whether you’d like your basement to be a five-star entertainment hub, high-end wine cellar, or workout room, Virginia Design Group can also deliver on those dreams. From luxurious bar and entertaining areas to movie theater rooms, we can help transform your drab basement into a place your entire family will want to gather night after night.
Home is both a place of hard work and emotional escape. That is why a meaningful and personal design is paramount. Reach out to Virginia Design Group today for a consultation and make your 2023 design dreams a reality.
