Your home is an investment, but it is also so much more. It is where you raise your family, celebrate special occasions, live, laugh and grow together! Your home should be a place that you love to spend time in. If it isn’t, you may want to consider a home remodel. Perhaps your home is starting to show its age or has a floor plan that doesn’t suit your family’s lifestyle. Agape Construction is here to help. We excel at turning your home into your dream home!
Before starting your home remodel, let’s research some popular trends we are seeing in St. Louis!
One big trend we are seeing is family focused areas in the home. Examples include a finished basement with a theater room, golf simulator, or game room. What would your family most enjoy? Consider your lifestyle and focus on what you would most use when designing your basement remodel.
Also popular are open floor plans that include an entertaining area off the kitchen. This area can feature a banquet for serving drinks or coffee, a fireplace to gather around and plenty of seating for guests. Ideally it should have open sightlines to the kitchen so you can host a gathering and be able to converse with your guests as you prepare food in the kitchen.
Since the pandemic, there has been an increased demand for outdoor living areas. This trend is expected to continue in 2025. Again, the focus is on quality time together with family and friends. For some, it may include an outdoor kitchen. Others prefer an outdoor living room. Focus on what you and your family prefer to do for fun and include that in your outdoor living area.
We are also seeing a growing interest in mother-in-law suites. This could be accomplished through a home addition or finished basement. An apartment addition / basement apartment again focuses on family togetherness. An apartment addition keeps family close, whether it is an aging parent or adult child, while simultaneously giving everyone their independence.
