2021 Home Remodeling Trends

 
Traditional Edina Home Built by REFINED21.jpg

The past year's events impacted us all in extraordinary ways; it’s no wonder our homes were also affected. As 2021 begins, we have been thinking a lot about what remodeling and home design trends will rise in the coming year. Scroll below to read what styles, features, and finishes we think will be popular.

Oversized Kitchen Islands

Kitchen

While many of us haven’t entertained much family or friends this year, our kitchens have hosted everything from conference calls to schoolwork to Zoom happy hours and more! To accommodate all of the extra action happening in our homes these days, we think kitchen islands will continue to expand in size and functionality.


Home Offices

Office

More people are working from home than ever now, which has left many families craving a dedicated home office space. Creating a separate space for work means more peace and quiet for important phone calls, strategy sessions, and focusing on big projects.


Bringing the Outside In

Being couped for so long has all craving fresh air, natural light, open spaces, and time spent outdoors. From porches to oversized windows to dual indoor/outdoor spaces, we think homeowners will want to bring the outside in more than ever before in 2021!


At-Home Entertainment

LowerLevel

From restaurants to movie theaters to bars, so many regular entertainment venues have been restricted indefinitely. Custom media rooms, play spaces, game areas, and home bars are a great solution for anyone looking to recreate a night on the town at home. The best part? Simply walk upstairs at the end of the night!

Amped Up Storage

All of this time in our homes has really exposed their strengths and weaknesses. It’s a lot easier to ignore your space’s shortcomings when you’re too busy to notice. We think organization, storage solutions, oversized pantries, and meticulous mudrooms will all be trends to look out for in 2021!

 

Reflecting on 2020

As we consider the past year, it’s impossible to ignore the challenges that have defined it. An unprecedented global pandemic caused upheaval for all of us personally and professionally.

Despite this strange year, our team is still thankful for so many things, from our fantastic clients to our talented design partners to our incredible team. We are grateful for each of you who cheers us on and supports this work we love; thank you.

We wish you all a joyful holiday season spent with your nearest and dearest. May your days be merry and bright - Happy Holidays, and cheers to a much more promising 2021!
