Summer 2024 is here, and so are the latest home remodeling and design trends to inspire your next project.
As a design-build company, we’ve seen several trends becoming increasingly popular through the first half of 2024, and there are a few we can’t get enough of! Focuses on sustainability, wellness, vibrant colors, and a touch of nature, offer timeless choices for your home. Whether you’re planning a major remodel or just a quick refresh project, these ideas will help inspire you to create your very own haven.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Designs
Sustainability is not just a trend; it’s a responsible lifestyle choice. Homeowners are increasingly opting for eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to create greener homes. Some ways to incorporate this into your remodel include:
- Use recycled materials such as reclaimed wood, recycled glass for countertops, and metal fixtures made from repurposed materials.
- Upgrade to energy-efficient appliances, windows, and insulation. Solar panels are also an excellent addition, providing renewable energy and reducing utility costs.
- Conserve water by installing low-flow faucets, shower heads, and toilets. These fixtures conserve water without sacrificing performance and add a modern touch to your home.

Wellness-Focused Interiors
Creating a home that promotes health and well-being is always in style. Imagine transforming your living spaces into serene sanctuaries that nurture both body and mind. Some ways to achieve this include:
- Turn your bathroom into a luxurious spa with soaking tubs, rainfall showers, heated floors, and calming color palettes to create the perfect retreat for relaxation.
- Designate a space for exercise and relaxation. Equip it with your favorite workout gear and decorate it with serene, motivational decor.
- Maximize natural light with large windows and skylights.

Bold Colors and Patterns
Inject some excitement into your home with bold colors and patterns. These design elements can add personality and a vibrant touch to your spaces. Here are some options to incorporate them:
- Create an accent wall with bold wallpaper or striking paint color in your living room, bedroom, or dining area.
- Say goodbye to the all-white kitchen trend and introduce colorful cabinets, backsplashes, or appliances.
- Use patterned tiles in bathrooms and kitchens for a touch of playful elegance that instantly livens up these spaces.

Biophilic Design
Bringing the outside in is a timeless approach to home design. Biophilic design focuses on connecting with nature and incorporating natural elements into your home. It’s a beautiful and beneficial way to enhance your living space, and some ways to incorporate this are:
- Use materials like wood, stone, and bamboo to bring an earthy vibe to your home. Think wooden furniture, stone countertops, and bamboo blinds.
- Incorporate nature-inspired decor elements, such as botanical prints, nature-themed artwork, and water features like small indoor fountains.
- Fill your home with a variety of indoor plants. They purify the air, add greenery, and make your space feel vibrant and alive.
