The world of home renovation is ever evolving, and 2025 brings exciting new trends that cater to sustainability, technology, and multifunctionality. With rising interest in energy-efficient designs and innovative solutions, homeowners are embracing creative ways to modernize their spaces.
Here’s a sneak peek at the renovation trends that will continue to evolve in 2025:
Invisible Technology
As technology continues to play a large role in our homes, 2025 will focus on discreet technology integration meaning that rather than having tech stand out, the focus will be on creating spaces where gadgets and appliances blend seamlessly into the environment. Think, panel-ready appliances, hidden charging stations, and appliance garages that allow tech to be easily accessed without cluttering up the design. The goal is a sophisticated yet functional space that feels both high-tech and high touch.

Energy Efficient Home
Sustainability is more than just a buzzword in 2025; it’s a major driver of home renovation projects. Homeowners are increasingly looking to reduce their environmental impact by choosing eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions. This trend includes the use of recycled materials, energy-efficient appliances, and sustainable landscaping.
Lockhart Construction have experienced a surge in clients seeking to up-grade to energy-efficient windows and higher rated insulation as well as incorporating renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and green roofs. Stan Leenders, Lockhart Construction Managing Director says “This is an encouraging sign from homeowners who are thinking long term. Energy efficient products that are friendly environmentally friendly are an important part of the future of renovations.”
Multi-Functional Open Floor Plans
Open floor plans continue to be popular, but in 2025, the emphasis is on creating multifunctional spaces. Homeowners are seeking designs that allow for flexible use, such as combining a kitchen and dining area that can also function as a home office or study space. This trend caters to the evolving needs of modern living, where spaces must serve multiple purposes.
Gorgeous open plan rooms can be achieved with the removal of non-load-bearing walls to create expansive, flexible spaces. Or the use of sliding doors or movable partitions to create temporary rooms or private areas may better suit other homes. Something else to consider is how the integration of multi-purpose furniture, such as foldable desks and hidden storage solutions could benefit your space.
Green Rooms
Stunning outdoor spaces have truly taken off in recent years, and Lockhart predicts that will continue into 2025 to take advantage of the Kiwi culture of outdoor living. This includes patios, decks, and landscaping but it also goes much deeper.
Biophilic design, which focuses on incorporating natural elements into the home, is a growing trend for 2025. This approach emphasises a connection to nature through natural materials, plants, and maximising natural light, creating a calming and rejuvenating environment. Think natural light, living plant walls, wood, stone, and bamboo.
