Home Renovation Trends Dallas Homeowners Are Loving in 2025
1. Kitchens That Work Smarter (and Look Better)

3. More Millwork, More Texture, More Character
Whether it’s fluted panels, coffered ceilings, or custom trim—texture is stealing the spotlight from color in 2025. And no, shiplap doesn’t count.
4. Timeless Materials with a Modern Edge
Marble, oak, limestone—2025's renovation trends embrace earthy, classic materials, but with bold veining, matte finishes, and dark tones.

Should You Wait Until 2026? Let’s Talk Economics
The question every savvy homeowner wants answered: Will it be more expensive to renovate next year?
According to a recent report by Houzz, renovation costs have increased an average of 6–8% annually since 2020 due to labor shortages, material costs, and supply chain delays. While inflation is slowly easing, the National Association of Home Builders predicts moderate cost increases again in 2026.
Why Renovate Now:
Interest rates may drop in late 2025, making now a smart time to start design and permitting.
Material availability has stabilized in 2025 compared to prior years.
Delaying could mean higher contractor and material fees down the line.

It’s a budgeting principle: Renovations should ideally cost no more than 30% of your home’s current value. For example, if your home is worth $1M, a $300K full-scale renovation is generally considered sound investment-wise.
