Home Renovation Trends For 2023 Bathroom and Kitchen Upgrades

Remember when we mentioned functionality, well kitchen and bathroom renovations will increase in 2023 for this very reason. As homeowners yearn for ways to get the most bang for their buck, we’ll see high-use areas like kitchens & bathrooms getting complete overhauls. Projects like cabinetry upgrades to countertop changes will create a big impact on a subtle budget. Also, updating light fixtures and faucets can change a room entirely – especially if accompanied by a fresh coat of paint. However, if you truly want to maximize your budget and get ahead of this trend, replacing old appliances and/or flooring will be your best option for the new year.

When in doubt, spruce up your existing hardware. If you find yourself looking for ways to optimize your home renovation budget, give in and splurge on those flashy faucets and lighting fixtures you dreamt of having.

There are many government programs across the country that provide incentives to people who use energy efficient equipment such as solar panels, low-water plumbing and more. Becoming more environmentally conscious has been on everyone’s new year’s resolution list, at least once. So why not start today and utilize every opportunity you can to make your home and your living habits completely green.

The need for housing has been at an all-time high. Across the nation, we have seen prices skyrocket, for home buyers and renters alike. The reason for this is high interest rates, an unstable economy and housing market supply and demand. For instance, 95% of the residents surveyed in one of our service areas have said that they want to get into permanent housing. This statement alone can tell you that there is a need for not only permanent housing, but short term housing as well. In November 2021, it was recorded that over 200 people were considered homeless in Hastings County. The lack of affordable living is dire, and the amount of homes out there are limited. That’s why Multi Dwelling units are becoming more appealing to homeowners and renters. Not only does it alleviate the need for a home, it’s also a great way to recover cost and/or generate additional income. But, providing affordable housing isn’t the only reason why this trend is booming, more and more families are deciding to live under one roof versus leaving the nest – potentially causing financial hardship. With the ability to create multi dwelling units with functional kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces; why buy a home in the first place? This is something to think about when remodeling, because as populations grow this is one trend we think has serious staying power.

Secondary/ Multi-Dwelling Unit Ideas

Have abasement or garage that you don’t use? If you’re not using your home’s garage or basement, consider converting it to a secondary dwelling unit. Obviously, this is the perfect way for you to maximize your investment while providing the necessary housing the world needs right now.
