2026 Renovation Predictions

As we end the first month of the new year, what trends are we going to see in 2026? Here are some predictions that I think will happen this year!


1.) Color Drenching: Take 1 single paint color and use it to cover all the walls, trim, and ceiling in the room. I highly believe that earthy yellows and deep browns will be popular this year, and will bring in the warm, cozy vibe. People seem to be stepping away from the cool colors that have been the staple in the last few years.

2.) Spa Bathrooms: I feel that more wellness features in your bathroom will gain popularity, and give you a boost of self-care and personal wellness. More and more people will start to renovate their plain bathroom into a get-away oasis that could include a sauna, hot tub or a sunroom.

3.) Creative Ways of Stone Slabs: I believe you will see more stone slabs used not just for countertops but for backsplashes and even walls. The seamless look of a natural stone wall creates a more elegant look; something different than the typical tile approach. 

4.) Checkerboard Patterns: Another old trend I hope to see more is checkerboard patterns. It started to make its way back slowly in 2024.This is not just for the kitchen or bathroom anymore. This is being implemented onto the floors of mudrooms and patios too. 

5.) Reading Nooks: There’s been a steadying demand for cozy reading nooks in people’s homes that they can come home and relax at. This can be just a simple bench by a nice window surrounded by bookshelves, to a more detailed attic space that is converted into an intimate space where you can unwind and relax after a hard day's work.

6.) Faucet Placement: I think that people are starting to get creative in where their faucet should be placed. I have seen more wall-mounted faucets in people’s houses lately. By mounting them on the wall, it frees more counter space up while maintaining a sleek new design.
