Introduction
It can be overwhelming thinking about where to start with home projects or renovations, but Hazley Builders is here to help. Trends have evolved significantly since last year, with a notable increase in the popularity of ‘cozy’ homes. Let’s take a closer look at the top home trends for 2023.
Kitchen Trends
Kitchens are getting a modern makeover with sleek lines, bold color choices, and high-tech features. This year we are seeing a trend toward using more color and bold, eye-catching choices like blue, green, and yellow. Additionally, technology is becoming increasingly integrated into kitchen design, with additions like smart appliances and touchless faucets. Updating to a modern, stylish, and most of all functional kitchen should be at the top of your list this year.
Are you interested in updating your kitchen using one of these trends? Hazley can curate a custom kitchen design for your home, no matter how big or small your kitchen is. We will walk you through the process and deliver a space that is custom fit for your needs that falls within your budget.
Bathroom Trends
Bathrooms are also getting a facelift in 2023, focusing on simplicity, functionality, and luxury. There is a growing trend towards creating cozy bathroom spaces, emphasizing warmth and comfort. The minimalist look is still in style, but we are seeing more decorative elements like tiles, patterned wallpaper, and textured walls this year. In addition, spa-like features such as heated floors, rain showerheads, and bubble tubs are becoming more prevalent, making the bathroom a place to relax and unwind.

Living Room Trends
Living rooms are becoming more and more sophisticated in 2023, with an emphasis on thoughtful styling, comfort, and elegance. Neutral colors are still widespread, but we are seeing more bold, statement-making pieces like colorful artwork, statement lighting fixtures, and oversized furniture this year. Home entertainment is also as popular as ever, with plenty of home theaters and smart TVs leading the show.
Let Hazley Builders create the perfect custom living room design that best meets you and your family’s aesthetic. With our approach, the collaborative process never stops, and any challenges are quickly and efficiently addressed.
Outdoor Space Trends
Improving outdoor spaces is also becoming a huge trend this year, with homeowners looking to create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Exploring various design ideas for outdoor spaces can help you find the perfect inspiration for your home. We are seeing a movement toward outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and pergolas, making the backyard a place to entertain and relax. Sustainable design is also highly influential now, with homeowners looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and conserve resources.
Sustainable Living and Technology
Climate Resiliency and Smart Home Features
As the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, home buyers are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and create a more eco-friendly living space. According to Zillow’s home trends expert, Amanda Pendleton, “Sustainability is no longer just a trend, it’s a necessity.” In the past year, there has been a significant increase in the number of home buyers looking for climate-resilient features in their homes.
One of the most popular sustainable living trends is the incorporation of smart home technology. This includes features such as energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, and smart thermostats. These features not only help reduce energy consumption but also provide homeowners with a more convenient and comfortable living experience.
Homeowners are also looking for homes with electric vehicle charging stations, which have become a highly sought-after feature in the past year. In fact, according to Zillow, the number of homes with electric vehicle charging stations has increased by 34% in the past year.
In addition to smart home technology, homeowners are starting to consider sustainable building materials and design features. This includes features such as reclaimed wood, bamboo flooring, and low-VOC paints. These features not only reduce the environmental impact of the home but also provide a healthier living space for homeowners.
As the demand for sustainable living continues to grow, it’s clear that climate resiliency and smart home features will be a major trend in the future of home decor.
Functional and Flexible Spaces
Designing for Adaptability and Flexibility
As the way we live and work continues to evolve, homeowners are looking for spaces that are functional, flexible, and adaptable. The key to creating a functional and flexible space is to design with adaptability in mind.
One of the most popular trends in functional and flexible spaces is the use of multi-functional furniture. This includes furniture pieces that serve multiple purposes, such as a sofa bed or an ottoman with a secret storage area. These types of furniture pieces allow homeowners to create a space that can be used for multiple purposes, making it ideal for small homes or homes with limited space.
Another trend in functional and flexible spaces is the use of open floor plans. Open floor plans allow homeowners to create a space that is flexible and adaptable, making it easy to change the layout of the room as needed. This type of design also allows for more natural light and creates a sense of flow throughout the home.
