A fresh new year often brings a ho-hum feeling about the state of your home, yet moving to a new house (and giving up that fantastic interest rate) isn’t an option right now. Take heart. Our Normandy Designers share the top home remodeling trends for 2024, which has everyone falling in love with their space all over again. Top solutions include repurposing rooms and delegating purposeful spaces for both work and play.

Whole Home Realignment

Picture your entire living space reimagined in one grand sweep. Breathing new life into familiar corners is the kind of magic that happens when you take what already exists and elevate it to new heights. The trend of approaching multiple room remodels at once is gaining momentum. A comprehensive redesign allows for a seamless and harmonious flow between spaces, like connecting the family room to the kitchen to the mudroom. This can mean removing a wall or flipping the entire layout to make every square foot count. Unused corners are being revived and underutilized spaces are finding their purpose, such as the addition of a snack station for the kids or a pet washing station on the lower level.

Bars Beyond Entertaining

Bars are no longer reserved just for entertaining guests; they have become versatile hubs for everyday use. Coffee bars that revolve around your favorite caffeinated treats are designed with drawer organizers for pods, sweeteners, and frothing tools. Dry bars and butler’s pantries are the kitchen sidekicks supporting the busy cook in between meals. Wet bars are stocked with spirits and glassware to make any night of the week feel special, and look gorgeous even when not in use.

Workspaces for the Modern Professional

Whether you work from home occasionally or every day, the home office is no longer an afterthought; it’s become a must-have in modern homes. Functional and aesthetically pleasing workspaces help you run your side hustle or take video calls, without resorting to a digitally created background. From dedicated offices to kitchen-adjacent nooks that double as workspaces, the goal is to create an environment that inspires productivity without sacrificing style.

Dramatic Dark Hues

Say farewell to the dominance of light and neutral colors; this year is about embracing the allure of dark, moody hues. From bold accent walls in bedrooms to high contrast palettes in the kitchen, dark colors are making a statement. These rich tones add depth and sophistication, creating a canvas that allows other elements to shine.

While moving may not be in the cards for you right now, it’s an opportune time to invest in the haven you call home. These trends are not just about aesthetics; they are about creating spaces that resonate with your lifestyle and elevate the everyday. If you’re ready to begin transforming your home, give our Designers a call. They can help you design a sanctuary that not only withstands the test of time but also embodies the essence of who you are.
