With prices rising everywhere you see, many homeowners will focus more on maintenance home projects versus purely aesthetic remodels this year. However, modernizing and updating the home should still be on your yearly list of things to do. We’ve collected five types of home improvement projects that are most likely to be popular in 2023.
1. Exterior home revamps
No matter if you choose new siding only or prefer to a completely new look, the exterior will be equally important as indoor remodeling this year. Moody greens, blues, and browns will make their way onto more home exteriors in 2023.
Also, expect more homes prefer to adopt the vertical siding, also referred to as board n’ batten. This trend doesn’t have to be applied on an entire house; vertical siding can be added as an accent to highlight architectural features, including entryways, gables, dormers, and build-outs.
Board n’ batten will continue to be attractive because it looks great matched with horizontal siding, shake siding, or manufactured stone. This style of siding is the perfect mixture of rustic charm and modern engineering.
2. New windows and better views to bring the outdoors in
There’s nothing better than a home with beautiful natural light and clear, unobstructed views of the outdoors. Regarding window design trends for 2023 – bigger is best, and black is back. Larger windows and even window walls will be commonplace in the coming years.
Home designs will incorporate more large-scale windows and replace single doors to double doors to see more of the exterior from within the home.
Black-framed windows and doors made a huge statement on the home market in 2022 and will continue to thrive in 2023. The modern vibe might be only suitable for some exteriors, but if you plan on updating both siding and trim as well, this trend may be right for you.
3. Expanding outdoor oasis
More homeowners are viewing the outdoors as an extension of their homes – a trend that’s will continue to exist.
Creating a safe outdoor space that reflects your lifestyle is not only for larger homes and lots but also for smaller lots that need more privacy. Shade structures like pergolas offer protection from the heat thus make the space more liveable. Privacy fencing will also become more and more popular in the coming years as people build upon this trend of outdoor living.
Gray composite decking is one of the newest trends for outdoor spaces. Although shades of gray remain dominant, you’ll see warmer tones creeping up alongside greens this year to add more dimension. As homeowners become more adventurous with color and texture, textured pavers, like those that mimic natural stone are also rising.
4. Affordable and functional kitchen upgrades
In this year, smart investments in your kitchens and bathrooms can significantly increase home value and overall satisfaction. Replacing hardware, lighting, and countertops could be what's necessary to bring your home into 2023.
Lighting
Flexible lighting options are a big kitchen and home trend that will be more and more popular. Both App and voice-controlled lighting will be as trendy as traditional dimmers and motion-sensing lighting in the coming year. Adjustable sconces are also making a significant impact in kitchens.
Countertops
Non-toxic surfaces are necessary for a healthy kitchen environment. Solid natural stone, marble, wood, metals, and porcelain are countertop options to look for in 2023. Installing porcelain countertops has been the trend in Europe for some time and is finally trending here in America. Porcelain has similar advantages when compared to other popular materials like quartz and granite.
Hardware
Many countertop surfaces pair well with the top kitchen hardware trends of 2023. The design world prefer to use neutral, calming designs for a pop of interest here and there. For all lighting fixtures, black and gold finishes are gaining the most popularity compared with other colors, but white fixtures are beginning to gain some traction. Mixing metal colors in the kitchen is a major trend we’re happy to see stay around for some time.
Cabinetry
Two-color kitchen cabinets are becoming more and more popular. A darker color on the base and lighter upper cabinets is recommended when sporting a dual-colored look this year. Applying this style often makes a kitchen looks like larger. Homes with small kitchens should avoid cabinetry in darker colors all over as it tends to make the space claustrophobic. If you’re hoping to make a big change in the kitchen on a strict budget, then painting your cabinets could be the best option. Use new hardware, lighting, and countertops to accentuate the new color scheme.
Colors
Popular Colors like black, olive green, and warm spiced vanilla are part of this year’s most trendy in creating natural and uncomplicated spaces. They’re obviously giving any kitchen a refreshing yet warming glow. Not only will a modern interior be more enjoyable during its daily use, but it can also increase your property’s resale value.
5. Mudrooms are back and more organized than ever before
Keeping your home clean and tidy is a necessity for peace of mind and a sense of tranquility in the homestead. The mudrooms of 2023 feature wall-spanning cabinetry with designated areas for shoes, coats, umbrellas, and more for increasing space. In addition, these rooms include sinks for washing up or double as the laundry room space.
Homeowners feel like to create a sort of “command center” or “drop zone” in the home, as they thought it is an excellent spot to place all of the items coming in and out of the house and still make it look organized. Cabinetry plays a crucial role in the function, organization, and aesthetics of a”drop zone.”
Refreshing neutrals keep the space grounded, calm, and modern. This space should be addressed as homeowners spend quite a bit of time here, and it’s often the first area seen when entering the home.
