Home remodeling trends in Nashville

We’ve recently covered some of the remodeling trends we see in Nashville for kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling; here, we’ll step back and take a broader look at what’s trending for home remodels overall.

Layout, rooms

Open design kitchen-dining room Nashville remodeling trend

  • Open plans: Creating open space between the kitchen, eating area, and living spaces; the trend has been toward a less segregated kitchen
  • Bright, plush basements: The old musty basement is out; basement remodeling recovers precious presentable square footage for active usage
  • Remodeling attics: Transforming attics into bedrooms or getaway spots; brighter and more comfortable; basement remodeling adds presentable space for active use
  • Mudrooms

Lighting

  • More natural light
  • Circadian rhythm lighting: Implementation of human-centric, tunable lighting which more closely matches natural light in its warmth and timing
  • Warmer, softer colors & tones
  • Motion-activated lighting
  • Artisan fixtures: Often hand-crafted, from local artists & small businesses
  • Vintage lighting

Materials

Nashville kitchen remodeling - open design

  • Green materials: Eco-friendly and energy-efficient materials and supplies
  • Locally-sourced materials
  • More metals – focus element rather than just an accent
  • More natural materials – wood, granite, marble, quartz
  • Terrazzo for kitchen/bath flooring (a composite material made from chips of marble, quartz, granite, and glass set into cement, resulting in a random speckled appearance)
  • Stone or porcelain flooring for rooms other than kitchen, bath
  • Shift from dark towards lighter woods for flooring to create a more open, airy feel
  • Copper accents
  • Concrete

Color and style

  • Mixing styles: Traditional with modern, for example
  • Saturated colors, creative color emphasis
  • Customizations: Popping visuals as unique statements (e.g., wallpaper on stair risers, murals and gradients on walls, patterns paired with solids, etc.)
  • Mixing metals based on surrounding color palette (e.g., copper, brass, pewter, gunmetal, matte black)
  • Floral patterns
  • Black and white rooms, furnishings: Offers visual contrast, sense of balance, boldness with a graphic punch
