As we move into 2025 and 2026, the world of Southwest Florida home remodeling is shifting away from the “all-gray” minimalism of the past toward a warmer, more personalized aesthetic. Homeowners in Naples, Cape Coral, and Fort Myers are looking for spaces that feel like a private resort while remaining functional for everyday coastal living.
At Sage Construction Group, we are seeing several exciting trends emerge in our recent custom builds and luxury renovations. If you are planning a project for the coming year, here is what is “in” for the Florida lifestyle.
1. The Return of “Gulf-Inspired” Hues
The “Millennial Gray” era has officially ended. In 2025, we are seeing a surge in warm neutrals like sandy beiges, creamy whites, and sun-kissed taupes. These are often paired with bold, nature-inspired accents—think deep marine blues, seafoam greens, and even terracotta coral. These palettes help reflect the natural light of the Gulf Coast, making interiors feel larger and more connected to the outdoors.
2. “Spa-Scription” Bathrooms
The bathroom remodel has evolved into a wellness retreat. Our clients in Bonita Springs and Estero are increasingly requesting “wet rooms” that combine a free-standing soaking tub and a rainfall shower behind a single glass partition. Natural stone accent walls and unlacquered brass fixtures are the top choices for creating that high-end, spa-like atmosphere at home.
3. Performance Kitchens with “Double Islands”
The kitchen remains the heart of the Florida home, but the layout is changing. For larger renovations in Fort Myers Beach, the “double island” is becoming a favorite. One island serves as a dedicated prep station with a secondary sink, while the second island acts as a social hub for dining and entertaining. This keeps the “chef” of the family involved in the conversation without the clutter of meal prep getting in the way.
4. Organic Shapes and Curved Architecture
Hard, 90-degree angles are being replaced by softer, organic lines. From arched doorways to curved kitchen islands and radius corners on walls, these shapes mimic the contours of the Florida coastline. These architectural details add a sense of “fluidity” to a home, making even a modern remodel feel cozy and inviting.
5. Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Transitions
The “Lanai” is no longer just a porch; it is a true extension of the living room. We are seeing a high demand for multi-slide pocket doors that disappear entirely into the wall, creating a seamless transition from the great room to the outdoor kitchen. With the right hurricane-rated glass, you can enjoy the view year-round without compromising on safety.
