dmhome • Aug 27, 2018
Home design trends come and go, but there are some that are always worth watching because they are around for the long haul. This is the perfect time to do some home improvements because the following trends will continue to be in style for 2019 and beyond.
Here are 9 whole home remodeling trends to watch in 2018 and 2019:
- In-Law Options: It is becoming more and more popular for parents to move in with their children, so you may want to consider creating an in-law addition this year or next. You can choose to have an addition constructed or you can simply turn your basement into a little apartment complete with its own mini-kitchen and bathroom.
- Wider Hallways and Doorways: Aging in place is becoming more common as well, and we believe that it is always better to be prepared than rushing in the future. We recommend that you take the time to widen your hallways and doorways now, so that you will not need to worry about when you can return to your home if something happens later.
- Add Plants: Plants have always been incorporated into rooms, but these next couple of years will feature plants as part of the décor. Colorful planters can add pops of color, while groups of plants can add visual appeal.
- Oversized Furniture: Oversized furniture is arriving just in time to fill those large expansive open floor plans. Of course, this furniture will also be helpful any time that you are entertaining a crowd, as they will all have a place to sit comfortably.
- Repurposed Items: Old tables, bookcases, and dressers have been featured in rooms for many years, but now you have free rein to use these items in new ways. You can turn an old table or a couple of bookcases into your new kitchen island, or an old cart can be turned into a chair or even a coffee table.
- Constructing Additions: Additions are necessary in some homes to create larger kitchens or needed bedrooms, which is why many homeowners like yourself will be constructing them sooner than later.
- Rustic Bathrooms: There is nothing wrong with sleek and shiny bathrooms, but sometimes a rustic design feels warmer. You may want to consider adding some shiplap to the walls before installing a claw foot bathtub and some vintage décor.
- Tankless Water Heaters: We know that you are always looking for ways to save money, which is why we encourage homeowners to install the new tankless water heaters. These water heaters only heat the water when you need it, so you will not need to pay to keep your water warm all day and all night.
- Roof Decks: Homes with smaller yards can benefit from a roof deck, because it allows a homeowner to have an outdoor space. If you decide to construct one, you will want to turn it into a relaxing spot that can also be used for entertaining.
These nine home remodeling trends are perfect options for you to consider, because they will be just as popular next year and in the future. After all, who can resist the extra space, both inside and out, as well as the money saving options that each one brings.
The kitchen still retains its spot as one of the most important rooms in the home. See the complete article to see the options available to you and choose the ones that work best for your home and your lifestyle.

Sometimes we put off bathroom remodeling because we want to wait until we have enough money to do something really special. It is easy to feel tempted to spend big on your bathroom upgrade. New products are revealed frequently, and bathroom trends occasionally change. Neither of these factors have to influence your plans, as many low cost ideas can lead to big results. Refinish the bathtub. While an old bathtub can be unsightly, it doesn’t necessarily have to be replaced. Refinishing is a far cheaper option and it can make the bathroom look like new. Removal and installation are other costs you have to face if you decide to replace the tub. Get a new faucet. A new, shiny faucet will instantly show that you have done some work in the bathroom, even with few other improvements. A new faucet can also add a modern or retro touch, depending on your preference. Choose a new paint color. A different color can give the space a big lift, making it seem like you spent more on the remodel. Browns, blues, greens and grays can help to create a relaxing atmosphere. Freshen up grout and caulk. Dingy grout and caulk can give the bathroom a similarly dingy appearance. Fresh, clean caulk will help to brighten up fixtures. Clean the grout to give new life to tiles. Repurpose when you can. An old cabinet can become a new bathroom vanity once it’s refinished. If you want wood floors, you can use reclaimed wood from an old building, making your bathroom remodel greener. Update the lighting. New light fixtures can quickly revitalize the look of any room. Consider adding sconces on either side of the mirror, or add a lighted mirror. Choose a pre-fabricated shower. A shower that comes ready to be installed will cost much less than tiling the shower area. While tiles give you design range, an attractive pre-fabricated shower can still make a statement. If you are remodeling the bathroom on a budget, try to focus mostly on DIY tasks. Anything you can do on you own will lower your expenses. However, keep in mind that there will be tasks you cannot handle, although they may not always be considered major changes. Putting in a new toilet for example, may require a professional, but this is still affordable for most homeowners.
Decorating the kitchen can be an enjoying task since you have so many attractive elements to work with. These numerous elements can be a lot to handle if you are trying to get the perfect custom kitchen, but here are some ideas that will help. Embrace patterns. People often try to keep their tiles basic to avoid over designing, but there is no reason why can’t have some fun with attractive and tasteful patterns. Use tiles transitionally. If you are struggling to find ways to move between different elements and tones, use your tiles to create an attractive transition between these areas. This will help to simply your selection process. Try open shelving. If you worry that the kitchen feels crowded, open shelving might be the answer. It helps to open up the space and give it an airy feel. This is one way to make a small kitchen feel larger. Splurge on lighting. Even the most expensive lighting fixtures will not take up much of your kitchen budget. Look around for the most attractive options that add style and luxury to the kitchen. Use layered lighting to improve the look and to make the space functional. Try a darker palette. In the past, designers and homeowners alike shied away from using dark tones in the kitchen. Now it is one of the hottest trends, so don’t be afraid to go for deeper blues and grays. Even black can work in the kitchen to dramatic effect. Add a kitchen island. Some people are skipping the island in favor of open layouts, but this feature still has plenty to offer. For one thing, it can anchor the design of the space. More importantly, it can serve different purposes such as storage, a dining area and a meal prep area. Kitchen islands can also have racks attached for cookbooks and spices. Warm it with wood. Wood can work in any part of the kitchen, whether it’s the floor, countertop, or as a backsplash. The natural grain of this material comes in different shades, so you can find something for any color scheme. Over time, as it darkens, it adds even more character to the kitchen. To get an attractive custom kitchen, strive for a balance between the items you should splurge on, and the areas where you can save. Pricier features can last longer, but make sure that they are in keeping with current trends so you do not have to make changes too quickly.
