Every year, many homeowners in Florida remodel their homes in a bid to create the perfect sanctuary. Whether you want a facelift or a custom remodel, there are a number of trends you should be aware as they can impact the value of your home.

Trends come and go but some are more consistent than others. Below are the popular house remodeling trends in Florida.

Neutral Colors

Colors are still paramount in any home remodeling project. For the kitchen, white is a favorite for many homeowners. Warmer grays and taupe work well for the kitchen because they can go with any type of decor.

Another popular Florida remodeling trend is to have the kitchen cabinets in one color–usually light–and the kitchen island in another–usually dark.

While brighter colors may bring instant ambiance in the home, over time, they are overtaken by trends and will have to be painted over. However, warmer grays and whites are universal and outlast many remodel trends.

Metals

Recycling has become huge over the last few years. If you have some old fixtures, you can recycle them in various parts of the house. Metals like copper, gold and brass work in any type of house setting. The metals can bring either a vintage or contemporary look, depending on the other decors in the house.

Texture

Adding texture and personality in specific parts of the house, especially the kitchen, living room and bedrooms, is big. Homeowners are getting creative and going for conventional designs that match their personality or express their beliefs. Breadboards, wood beams and backsplashes are used in various parts of the home to add visual interest.

Nature

With our fast lives today, the last thing you want is going home to more chaos. The design and decors in your home can either calm you down are pump you up. Homeowners are looking to simplify their lives and make their homes peaceful havens where they can take refuge in after a long day at work.

Nature decors help to bring out the nature look in the house. Designs that encompass bamboo, concrete, wood, rusting and stone are popular.

Retro

Retro never goes out of style. Vintage designs and decors give your home a timeless, classic look. Decide which areas of the home would work with a retro style. Here, the kitchen and bathrooms are great candidates. Make sure the existing decor will augment the retro theme you would like to achieve.
