Renovation Trends for 2023

And And And Architecture and Studio LifeStyle

We are jumping into the new year with some brand new design projects and a fresh perspective on what the design and renovation trends are making their marks this year. 

But before we jump into interiors, I thought I would share some of my favourite renovation trends for 2023.

With some bigger projects starting, we dive into weeks and months of planning the renovation with our amazing team of contractors and architects. It’s so great to work on projects with our clients as soon as floor plans are being made, so we can help weigh in on space planning, finishes and some of the renovation details that help to tie the space together.


Arches

We are carrying this arch trend through from last year as it is also a classic architectural element that will never truly go out of style. Consider it for breaking up open concept spaces and adding architectural features to your space.

Arched windows have been a popular architectural feature for centuries, with their distinctive shape adding a touch of elegance and grandeur to any space. These windows have a rich history, with their origins dating back to ancient times and their use spanning a wide range of architectural styles.

One of the earliest examples of arched windows can be found in the architecture of the Romans. The Romans were known for their impressive buildings, and they often incorporated arched windows into their designs. These windows were typically made of marble or stone, and they were used to bring light into the interior of the building.

Today, arched windows are still a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings. They can be found in a wide range of architectural styles, from traditional to modern, and their unique shape continues to add interest and elegance to any space. This feature moment will create focal points throughout your space and if you are planning a renovation, here are some clever ways we are seeing it pop up throughout the design world. 

Black Framed Windows

Black framed windows are a stunning addition to any home. Not only do they add a modern and sleek touch to the space, but they also provide a bold contrast against light or even dark, bold colored millwork.

One of the biggest advantages of black framed windows in your home is that they can help to create a sense of continuity in the space. We recommend using the same colour frame throughout your home. Creating a sense of continuity will help to tie together all window shapes and sizes.

When choosing black framed windows for your home, be sure to consider the style of the space. These days you can break the rules, with a modern kitchen, you don’t need to opt for sleek and minimalist frames with clean lines, you may want to choose frames with more ornate details and finishes. Windows are great design feature to consider when designing a new space and can really add an elevated look to your design.

For this project, we love how they opted to use both design details throughout the project, incorporating arches and black framed windows throughout.
