Top 5 Home Renovation Trends in Los Angeles for 2025

If you’re thinking about renovating your Los Angeles home this year, you’re not alone. As a local contractor, I’ve seen firsthand how LA homeowners are embracing new trends to make their spaces more comfortable, stylish, and functional. Here are the top five renovation trends I’m seeing across neighborhoods like Silver Lake, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica:

1. Indoor-Outdoor Living: With our beautiful weather, it’s no surprise that more homeowners are installing sliding glass doors, covered patios, and outdoor kitchens. In Venice, for example, we recently helped a family create a seamless flow from their living room to a backyard oasis—perfect for entertaining.

2. Sustainable Materials: Eco-friendly is in! From bamboo flooring to recycled glass countertops, LA homeowners are choosing materials that are both stylish and sustainable. The city’s green building codes are also encouraging this shift.

3. Smart Home Upgrades: Smart thermostats, lighting, and security systems are becoming standard. In neighborhoods like Brentwood, clients are asking for integrated systems that can be controlled from their phones.

4. Spa-Like Bathrooms: Think rainfall showers, soaking tubs, and heated floors. We recently completed a bathroom remodel in Studio City that feels like a five-star hotel.

5. Open Concept Kitchens: Walls are coming down to create bright, airy kitchens that connect to living spaces. This is especially popular in older homes in the Hollywood Hills.

Tip: Before you start, check local permit requirements and consider working with a contractor who knows the ins and outs of LA’s building codes.
