SAN PEDRO, Calif. - eTradeWire -- "Homeowners spent $472 billion on home renovations in Q3 of 2024, and projections indicate these expenditures will increase by $5 billion by Q3 of 2025. As a design-build firm, we are constantly exploring industry. Here are the five more design trends we're seeing for 2025.

"Energy efficiency is becoming the norm for home renovations in 2025. Homeowners are increasingly choosing heat pumps over conventional HVAC systems due to their superior efficiency. High-performance insulation materials are also helping reduce energy waste significantly. Plus, with new solar panel incentives this year, renewable energy has become more attainable."

"Open-concept layouts continue to dominate home design. They create a seamless flow between living spaces, making homes feel more spacious and ideal for entertaining or family time. If you're considering a full renovation, removing interior walls to open up your floor plan could dramatically enhance the functionality and appeal of your home, particularly in smaller spaces."

"Homeowners are increasingly turning to natural materials in their remodeling projects. Elements like wood, stone, and brick bring a sense of warmth and authenticity to interiors. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these materials are often more resilient and environmentally friendly than synthetic options. When renovating areas like the kitchen or bathroom, consider incorporating granite, marble, or wood for countertops and backsplash surfaces."

"Although bold and vibrant hues can add personality, many people are choosing neutral tones for their home updates. Shades like gray, beige, and white offer a timeless, serene backdrop and pair easily with a wide range of decor. If you're refreshing your home's look, think about starting with a neutral palette and using colorful accents—like furniture, pillows or artwork—for contrast and interest."

"Maximizing natural light can transform a room, making it feel larger, brighter, and more welcoming. When renovating, think about adding features such as large windows, skylights, or glass doors to bring more sunlight inside. This not only enhances the ambiance but can also help lower energy use by reducing the need for artificial lighting."
