2026 Design Trend: Wellness Takes Center Stage

In November, our team predicted the design trends that would rise to the top in 2026. As the year unfolds, we thought it would be fun to spotlight each trend on the blog! To kick this series off today, we’re talking about how homeowners cultivate wellness through design.

Good health is wealth; this truth resonates more than ever post-pandemic. Our physical health touches every other part of our lives - its impact is undeniable. For example, you’re never as aware of how essential back muscles are until they go out on you. So, how do our clients foster wellness in their homes? We’ve seen and built everything!

Current wellness trends revolve around spaces to recharge, find peace, and ground oneself through self-care. As owners incorporate these routines into their lifestyles, their homes follow suit. We’ve designed state-of-the-art home gyms, yoga rooms, and Pilates studios. Another popular approach to wellness is biohacking practices, such as red light therapy, saunas, and cold plunges.

Lastly, our clients also crave everyday spaces that promote overall well-being and self-care. We’ve built countless pools, hot tubs, meditative corners, and serene escapes. Want to see more of these gorgeous wellness-inspired spaces? Scroll through the gallery below to get a taste of it all!

Modern Kitchen Design: Spaces Driven by Character

Are you making plans for a new kitchen this year? As the process begins, you’re probably asking yourself: What trends are defining kitchen style in 2026? As custom home builders and remodelers, we’d say modern kitchen design is driven by character. Our clients want to create homes that reflect their unique interests, lifestyles, and design sensibilities. Below is a brief list of features owners are choosing to increase their kitchen’s functionality and express their style.

• Statement Appliances
  Hiding and blending appliances still have a place in kitchen design. But more homeowners are also adding statement appliances with bold colors, metallic accents, and other bespoke finishes.

• Banquettes
  There is nothing cozier than a built-in booth or corner seating! We love how these built-ins elevate a kitchen or dining nook, making it feel special.

• Sculptural Islands
  Kitchen islands have always been functional, but an emphasis on detailing and beauty is making them more ornate, like a piece of fine furniture.

• Prep Kitchens
  Whether you call it a larder, butler’s pantry, or prep kitchen, these tucked-away spaces keep cooking messes and kitchen clutter out of sight, making hosting a breeze!

• Integrated Bars
  Custom bars remain a massive kitchen trend that isn’t losing steam! From coffee to beverages to cocktails to smoothies, these integrated stations allow artful entertaining and extend the kitchen gracefully into other living areas.

• Full-Height Backsplashes
  Practical and pretty, full-height backsplashes bring a splash of design drama and provide a visual backdrop to any kitchen. They’re also easier to clean than tile and can provide an extra ledge for storage and display.

• Separated Spaces
  While open floor plans were all the rage for years, homeowners are craving separate spaces in the post-pandemic era. Separated spaces allow more privacy, contain messes, lower noise levels, and complement traditional/formal gatherings.
