Known for its elegant properties, Naples, FL, is a hub for luxury home remodeling. Many homeowners seek to modernize and enhance their living spaces to encompass a contemporary style and personalized luxury. From high-end kitchen renovations to innovative smart home integrations, 2025 is seeing specific standout remodeling trends become clear.
Here are some of the most popular home renovation trends we’re seeing this year.
Luxury Features in Home Renovations
Open floor plans remain popular for discerning Florida homeowners, particularly when designed with multi-purpose zones. Wide-open flex spaces, for example, that function as a home office, yoga studio, or children’s play area, depending on the time of day and requirements. Similarly, a kitchen island can be a cooking zone, lunch counter, and place for coffee chats with friends.
A seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living is another popular design request. Larger sliding glass doors, retractable walls, and natural materials that flow from interior to exterior allow Naples’ homeowners to enjoy Florida’s climate in style and comfort, like in this indoor/outdoor living transition from a remodeling project we completed in Bonita Springs.
We increasingly want to feel that stepping outside is a fluid continuation of the home rather than being separate.
Sustainability continues to be a big trend.
“More and more people are growing aware of sustainability in remodeling and the various options available to reduce one’s environmental impact on the planet,” says David Wherry, President of Progressive Design Build. “We’re incorporating energy-efficient LED lighting, low-flow fixtures, solar panels, and eco-friendly materials and finishes into luxury remodels without compromising aesthetics and functionality.”
Kitchen Remodeling Trends
In the kitchen, open-concept layouts prioritizing a seamless flow between cooking, dining, and living spaces remain very popular. The visual spaciousness and enhanced flow allow conversations to continue and light to spread more freely throughout the interior, like in this contemporary open-concept layout.
High-end materials continue to define luxury remodels. Quartz countertops are a preferred choice, offering timeless aesthetic appeal with modern durability. Custom cabinetry will remain popular for the foreseeable future, designed as they are according to homeowners’ specific storage needs and preferences.
Also popular are statement backsplashes made from textured tiles or natural stone that provide beautiful focal points, catching the eye and supporting different décor themes.
In 2025, advanced technology is no longer a novelty seen only in science fiction movies. It’s an inherent part of all successful kitchen remodels. Touchless faucets, built-in charging drawers, and AI-powered appliances make our everyday routines feel effortless, safer, and more connected.
And what about color schemes?
“Plain white is definitely out when it comes to kitchen design,” says Nikki Bruty, NCIDQ Certified Designer at Progressive Design Build. “We’re seeing a strong shift toward bold color palettes and natural textures that create warmer, more inviting environments. Deep greens, rich blues, and warm terracotta tones are replacing the stark whites and cool greys. These are being matched beautifully with natural materials like wood, stone, and even touches of leather.”
Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Design & Living Spaces
With the line between indoor comfort and outdoor entertainment dissolving in recent years, luxury remodels in 2025 feature fixtures and appliances that support relaxation, entertaining, and culinary flair. Luxury outdoor kitchens are coming into their own.
Gone are the yards with simply a grill and a sink. Homeowners today are investing in high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, pizza ovens, built-in bars, and even wine refrigerators, all designed to perform flawlessly in southwest Florida’s subtropical climate.
“Technology is also playing a role in other ways outdoors,” notes David Wherry. “Many families in Naples are incorporating smart lighting systems, wireless sound, and even automated shade controls, all of which can be effortlessly operated with voice commands or a quick tap on their phone.”
Resort-style backyard transformations are redefining outdoor relaxation as well. Fire pits add warmth and atmosphere on cool evenings, covered lanais provide shelter from the hot sunshine, while infinity pools neatly bordered with lush landscaping offer a luxurious, multi-sense experience, like in this outdoor kitchen and living space in Alva.
Durable, natural materials like stone, teak, and marine-grade stainless steel ensure beauty that endures all year round in our demanding climate.
Smart Home Upgrades
Smart home technology has developed in leaps and bounds over recent years and is considered a necessity in modern home designs. Seamless integration is key, where every system works intuitively behind the scenes to improve our way of life.
Home automation and artificial intelligence increasingly allow homeowners to quickly set up complex commands and personalized routines that anticipate their needs. For example, the desired lighting, music playlist, and ambient room temperature can automatically come into effect without lifting a finger and before we even enter the property.
“Voice-controlled assistants and app-managed appliances have been around for a while, but they’re becoming more sophisticated and interconnected,” says David Wherry. “With recent advances in AI, we’re likely to see exciting developments emerge very soon, bringing exciting new levels of convenience and customization to how homeowners experience their spaces.”
Energy-efficient innovations also play a central role. Homeowners are investing in solar panels and advanced insulation, with state-of-the-art energy storage solutions allowing homeowners to further maximize self-sufficiency. Insulation materials are now even better, and smart window technologies are decreasing levels of energy loss.
Energy use reduction is another area where automated systems can work wonders. The specialist technology can learn homeowner lifestyle habits and automatically make adjustments, thereby minimizing energy waste without compromising comfort.
Hidden tech features can also make a difference. Options include wireless charging stations built into kitchen islands, motorized blinds that adjust with the sun’s movement, and refrigerators that notify you when it’s time to restock.
High-End Finishes & Unique Architectural Details
The smallest details can often make the biggest difference in home improvement. Careful selection of high-end finishes and bespoke architectural details is more important than ever in 2025, with homeowners looking to transform their homes into deeply personal spaces.
Luxury flooring is one such detail. Wide-plank hardwood flooring, large-format porcelain tiles, and natural stone surfaces are popular choices in Naples and throughout southwest Florida. They look beautiful and provide a quiet sense of elegant sophistication beneath our feet.
Statement ceilings are also popular, adding unexpected drama to otherwise understated spaces. Wood beams add rustic charm and a connection to nature, coffered ceilings bring grandeur and depth, while artistic lighting installations add layered lighting options and ambiance-enhancing focal points.
This primary bathroom remodel in Naples with unique tile walls, wood slat walls, and luxurious materials is an excellent example of what’s possible.
Then there are the really personal touches in the form of unique design elements. Think custom millwork, built-in shelving, and hand-crafted detailing that reflect a homeowner’s distinctive style.
