What’s Trending Now
Whether you’re planning a renovation or just thinking about resale value down the road, it helps to know what buyers are falling in love with and what designers are actually building.

Top Designer Trends to Know
Traditional is trending again. Think arches, built-ins, real wood, and English country charm. Buyers want cozy and character, not cookie cutter.
Natural stone is having a moment. Subtle veining in marble and quartzite adds quiet drama as a luxe look without being loud.
Built-ins = value. Custom shelving and zoned media walls are becoming must haves, not nice to haves, especially in living spaces.
Garden rooms outside. Buyers don’t just want a big backyard, they want defined spaces: dining areas, fire pits, and quiet corners that feel curated.
Immersive previews. Homeowners expect to “see” the finished project before demo starts. 3D walkthroughs and AR tools are becoming standard.
Bottom Line:
If you're renovating with future resale in mind, in Pembroke Pines or anywhere, think less HGTV flash, more timeless function. Built-ins, stone, and classic details not only feel high end, they’re the kinds of things buyers are asking about during showings.
And if you're selling in the next year or two? Even small nods to these trends (a checkerboard tile update, a wall-mounted faucet, a cozy reading nook) can give your home that fresh but familiar edge that sticks with buyers after the showing ends.
