Trends come and go – that’s why they’re called trends. Among them, there are several we wish would stay away for good – home remodeling like 8-track players, pet rocks, Nehru jackets, and the list goes on. Then there are those that seem to circle back with an updated spin.

If you’re trying to keep your finger on the pulse of home remodeling design, here are just a handful of popular looks that have made a strong comeback.

Brass Hardware and Fixtures

Stainless steel, rose gold, brushed nickel, and oil rubbed bronze have all had their time in the spotlight, but now it’s time for brass to take center stage once again. From cabinet hardware to fixtures, brass adds warmth to any room.

Classic Closed Cabinets

For a while, open kitchen shelving was all the rage. It not only served as storage but turned dishes and glassware into décor. However, many homeowners were left feeling a little “exposed” and pressured to keep everything stacked neatly in its place. So, the classic cabinet is making a strong comeback, offering more materials, styles, finishes, and colors than ever before.

Paneling

This 1970s staple keeps getting a fresh look in the form of shiplap and tongue-and-groove paneling that’s painted in a crisp white or other complimentary color to match the space. And it’s not just reserved for the rec room, either. Today’s modern options can be seen in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and even bathrooms.

Maximalism

While clean lines, simple design, and minimally adorned spaces have been all the rage for the past few years, it’s time to dust off those trinkets, layer the cozy throws, and toss a few more pillows onto the sofa. This is the time to show off your style with color and texture.

Houseplants

With so many low maintenance houseplant varieties available, even those with the brownest of thumbs can appreciate a little greenery in their homes. But houseplants aren’t just pretty faces – they also can provide numerous health benefits.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper has been making a steady comeback for a few years now. Offering updated design-friendly options, wallpaper can add a subtle or bold accent to any space. Apply it to all four walls or paint three and wallpaper one for a striking focal point.

Freestanding Bathtubs

For some, there’s nothing more relaxing than unwinding in a hot bath. And thanks to an increased focus on self-care in these stressful times, many of today’s homeowners are craving a luxurious stand-alone tub in their bathrooms.

Woven Furniture & Accessories

Once relegated to the porch and patio, woven furniture has finally found its way indoors. Woven accent chairs, bedframes, blinds, and light fixtures add a natural element to any design style.

Light Wood Flooring

Wood floors are timeless, but what changes in popularity is color or stain. Light-colored Scandinavian-inspired tones are replacing the dark tones we’ve seen in recent years. While lighter wood does require a bit more upkeep it can make a room feel bigger and brighter.

Not-So-Open Floorplan

Wide open floor plans have been a must for quite some time but, for many, fewer walls also means a certain lack of privacy and personal space. As such, more and more home remodeling owners are opting for semi-open floor plans to create designated living spaces while filtering out noise.
