While there are some classic looks that never go out of style in Vancouver home renovations, every year also has its own trends. We can already see that, when it comes to home renovation trends, 2018 is shaping up to be a great year.
Whether your style is more classic or whimsical, there’s a trend for you. So let’s jump in with a few of our favourites…
Our 6 favourite trends in Vancouver home renovations for 2018
1. Preppy
Intellectual styles are going to be all the rage in Vancouver home renovations in 2018. An easy way to test the look is with your paint. Try choosing soothing, sophisticated colours, like lavender or slate. If you like that, take the style even further with decor pieces with cursive writing printed on them.

2. Bright, whimsical kitchens
If the preppy look is not your speed, consider going in the opposite direction and embracing the whimsical kitchen trend. This look is all about fun, fun fun. It is sure to keep you upbeat, even during the drabness of Vancouver’s winter months. So grab some bright paint and get in touch with your inner child.

3. Getting knotty
Another huge trend for 2018 is wood. This is not your parents’ wood look though. Instead of matching pieces, the look for 2018 will be all about mismatched wood. Capture this trend by mixing various types of wood, stains, and treatments.

4. High tech homes
In 2018, homeowners everywhere will be bringing a new woman into their places… Alexa. This digital assistant works in tandem with a range of other tech products to create the ultimate smart home. Incorporate this into your Vancouver home renovation and you will be able to use voice commands for everything from turning up the thermostat to stocking the refrigerator.

5. Shimmer and sparkle
Iridescent accents are a simple, subtle way to get your home on trend in 2018. They can easily be added to your Vancouver home renovation without drawing excessive attention or breaking the bank. If you are seeking a more fun feel, focus on colourful, cute accents. For a more elevated style, consider adding sleek, silver iridescent accents instead.

6. Exposed brick
Give your house a taste of Yaletown-esque cool by adding exposed brick to your Vancouver home renovation. Those seeking a toned-down version of this trend are creating exposed brick accent walls. There are some homeowners going all in though, creating full exposed brick looks inside their houses.
No matter what trends you choose to explore in 2018, make sure your Vancouver home renovation reflects you and your style
Trends can be fun, but we feel the most important style of all is yours. Before you jump into any trend, take some time to make sure you will love it even if it is no longer the hot look of the season. Remember that these trends are for inspiration and are not a rulebook.
