Whether you’re bored with your space or it’s just not serving you as well as it could, if you’re ready for a change, it may be time to schedule a home renovation. Before you call a contractor, however, take time to consider your unique needs and aesthetic preferences. While home renovations are highly personal, you may find some much-needed inspiration in one of these top 2018 trends.

3 Home Renovations Trends of the Moment

1. Nature-Derived

In 2018, design experts predict homeowners will get a little closer to nature—indoors, that is. While wood has been a mainstay of high-quality flooring for generations, these days, people are opting for the material for everything from kitchen countertops to back-splashes and statement walls. Natural stone is another very popular option to use in unexpected places, such as the master bedroom.

Rather than going for a polished look, homeowners seem to increasingly prefer their natural materials, from granite to wood, a little more rustic. The back-to-nature look is optimally achieved with free-flowing texture and matte rather than glossy finishes. 

2. Openness

The open floor plan has become increasingly popular in recent years, and the trend doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. Enlisting a contractor to knock down a few walls and open up one’s flooring layout has an especially positive impact on smaller spaces, as it can make the area look and feel much larger. By opening up your layout, you can improve the functional value of your home.

3. Patterns & Pops of Color

While previous years emphasized neutral colors, this year, trend forecasters say that you can expect homeowners to have a lot of fun experimenting with bold patterns and pops of color. For those who want to add a bit of excitement to an area once heavily dominated by stainless steel and bland tile, fun kitchen tile patterns and colorful, vintage-inspired appliances are particularly popular options right now. Even wallpaper and wallpaper-like finishes are making a comeback.

Naturally, these retro additions pair perfectly with the design world’s recent mid-century furniture revival. This year, you may want to take a tip from the experts and breathe new life into long-loved trends.
