5 Home Renovation Trends to Look for in 2023
As we near the end of 2022 we begin to look forward to 2023 and what the new year will bring for home builders. In 2022 we saw the resurgence of trends of old like breathless archways, curved windows and even libraries. We expect these trends to continue on into the next year. The lockdowns have seemingly provided a longing for more from our homes. After the last few years we are now seeing an increased imagination for home design.
This article is going to outline 5 home renovation trends to look for in 2023.
1. Seamless Room Design
Spending prolonged time in our homes tends to point out some inefficiencies. Thanks to the pandemic we all spent more time in our homes than ever before. Allowing us to really experience all that our home has to offer. Despite all our efforts to make our home the best it can be, you’ll never really notice what it needs until you’ve truly lived in it.
An emerging home trend in 2023 will likely be around seamless room design. This is sustainable home development. We are starting to see this trend in both younger and older homeowners. They want their home renovations to keep their futures in mind. With the state of the housing market and other economic uncertainties, homeowners want to make sure that their home can really be forever.
Examples of seamless room design would be:
Curb-less shower bases
Implemented shower benches
Safety features like: no slip flooring and grab bars
Wider spaces for accessibility later on

2. The Personal Library
Another effect of the pandemic has been people’s needs to disconnect from the online world. This has spawned a renewed interest for full on personal built-in libraries. As technology had progressed over the years the idea of a personal library, outside of a bookshelf or two, had left the cultural lexicon. Now, with this newly gained need for introspection and space from the outside world, homeowners are looking to create a dedicated place for reading.

3. Atmospheric Lighting
Atmospheric lighting has been a growing home renovation trend for the last few years. Going into 2023 you should expect to see homeowners create more mood lighting throughout their homes. Whether it be through colorful LED programming or warm cozy wall sconces.
This investment in lighting leads to greater satisfaction in one’s space creating a greater atmosphere for your home. Down with pot lights, down with flush lights and track and rail lights. We want pendants and wall sconces, linear lights and chandeliers, and immersive programmed indirect led lights. Atmospheric lighting makes us feel like we’re the main characters in a well lit movie.

4. Multi-Purpose Rooms
Space isn’t always easy to come by and it seems that we’re always finding new hobbies to take up that need it. That’s why homeowners are starting to want multi-purpose rooms.
Multi-purpose rooms, as you would think, are rooms where we can get a lot done in one single space. It could be an office that functions like a yoga studio and a greenhouse. You could have a hangout space that doubles as a guest room. Making most out of the space you have in your home has become a key necessity and will continue to be in 2023.

5. Outdoor Living Spaces
While Timberstone operates in Edmonton, Alberta, and we get winter 6 months of the year, we still believe that outdoor living spaces are worth it for homeowners.
Based on renovation trends going into 2023 we are seeing more and more demand for outdoor spaces. Edmonton has some of the nicest summer weather you could ask for. Take advantage of that by building a beautiful patio to host your friends for Blue Jays games and Edmonton Elks football. Outdoor living spaces give you the place you need to hangout and enjoy the summer sunsets.
