Home Renovation Trends We're Excited About in 2024

Excited to tackle a big home renovation project in the New Year?

Now is the time to finally make your plans and pin down all the details! Start looking at your budget, what rooms need the most attention, and what style options you want to consider for your project.

Here are some trends we’re excited to showcase for our clients in 2024:

Let's bring your
dream space to life.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Upgrades: We’ve written before about how many homeowners are ready and willing to make their homes as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. The good news is you don’t have to trade in style for sustainability! Choose products made from recycled materials and renewable resources that look just as stylish and modern as those from manmade materials to create your perfect home design.
Renovations to Improve Re-Sale Value: Even if you love your home now, it’s not a bad idea to renovate with future buyers in mind. Making smart renovation decisions like upgrading your kitchen and adding smart features could be helpful down the road if you decide to sell.
Warm, Cozy Changes: In 2024, industrial is out, and cozy is in! Use warm contrasting colors and sustainable materials like reclaimed wood, recycled plastic, and cork to create an inviting space.
Smart Home Technology: Smart technology like managing your HVAC system or thermostat with an app is a great way to get more value into your home. Also consider smart lighting and other upgrades (especially in the bathroom!) to make your home more luxurious and convenient.
Tile Upgrades: Upgrading your tile is a great idea, especially because these areas tend to show their age quickly. Plus, these value-add projects can make a home feel like new with only minimal work!

Your custom design + build experts in Ann Arbor!

The hardest space to re-envision is usually the one you live in -- even for professional designers! Sometimes clients begin the design conversation by telling us, “I know there’s nothing you can do about this layout…” We prefer to begin with the assumption that there’s not much we can’t do.

Our local know-how ensures a smooth process. Although Ann Arbor is our home, we’ve been working with building officials in jurisdictions from Jackson to Livonia since 1989. You can be confident that your project will be designed right the first time and will meet local requirements.

All smiles from start to finish!

We quickly picked up on Ron and Melissa's easy-going approach to a potentially stressful project.

We came to love our team! Frank became part of the family. Every day the house was cleaned and organized. And Mary had great design ideas and listened to our passions to create the best spa experience.

Luerenda, Ypsilanti, MI

Ron and Melissa are amazing and Cy became part of our family. Our home looks amazing because of Alpha!

Daryl & Amy, Ann Arbor, MI

The whole team was approachable and responsive to my emails and questions. I would recommend this company for any project, big or small.

Louise, Ann Arbor, MI

The deciding factor in choosing to work with Alpha was their confidence in the project and completion time line. They have done other renovations for us and it was a positive experience once again.

Debbie, Chelsea, MI

We felt very comfortable when we initially visited Alpha. We felt the staff was open, honest, and wouldn't mislead us.

Jeffrey & Kim, Ypsilanti, MI

Alpha Design's priorities are happy customers!

Hugh, Ann Arbor, MI

Cy was a fabulous construction manager. Always communicated with me about any issues, arrival time, etc... So polite and kind. Mary was also so great. She's so creative!

Karen & Dave, Ann Arbor, MI

We appreciate the quality of the work by everyone who came to our house. Dan Mattes was very patient and helpful and answered all of our questions. Our new bathrooms are great!

Steve and Melissa, Ann Arbor, MI

The entire Alpha team was so nice to work with. Every person we dealt with knew their craft and the final product is an example of that.

Jonathan and Amanda, Ann Arbor, MI

We liked the people. Good working relationship. Design fit our vision. Materials and workmanship were high quality. We would definitely use you again on a future project.

Brian and Joey, Ann Arbor, MI

Ken, Mary, and Phil made the renovation process for our bathroom-laundry room pretty painless. They kept us in the loop, cleaned up at the end of the day, and always demonstrated a high level of professionalism (early/on-time, respectful, reliable, etc.) which made them stand out compared to all the other contractors we contacted.

Adrianne and Chris, Ann Arbor, MI

The new bathroom is great. It was a very positive experience from beginning to end. The quality of the people working for
Alpha is a real credit to the company.

Chris and Pam, Ann Arbor, MI

When it comes to design, cost management and construction, the team at Alpha made me feel confident and reassured that my project would be completed on time and on budget.

Jeff and Mary, Ann Arbor, MI

I have nothing but good things to say about Alpha and what they did for us and our house. What Alpha says they will do, they do. Everyone I talked to had a horror story about contractors. Alpha is the anti-horror story. Alpha is that rarest of commodities – a genuinely reliable contractor.

Tony and Lisa, Ann Arbor, MI

I would highly recommend Alpha to others. The company workers are courteous, show respect and concern for the customer and demonstrate careful and fine workmanship.

Sara, Ann Arbor, MI

In our initial meeting, Alpha was very informative giving us a step-by-step on how and when things happen through the remodel process. Alpha took what seemed to us an overwhelming job and made it a very clear, step-by-step process ending in a great new kitchen!

George and Barb, Pinckney, MI

I absolutely love my house now. It looks brand new, and I have received many compliments from my neighbors (some of whom I have never spoken to before).

Kathy, Saline, MI

To the Alpha team who helped our kitchen be such a wonderful place for us to hang out, cook, and simply enjoy. If we had it to do over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing. We were most impressed with the professionalism you people displayed while working with us. Thank you.

Fred and Barbara, Ann Arbor, MI

We had Alpha build a two-story addition on our 1927 Dutch Colonial house. The design team at Alpha did such a good job of matching the style of the house that people who see it now believe it was all part of the original house.
