Home remodeling isn’t just about updating a space—it’s about reimagining the way your home works for you and your family. At 3 Sons Construction, we’ve proudly served homeowners across the Greater Des Moines area since 2009, and we’ve seen firsthand how trends evolve to meet modern needs. Today’s remodeling trends go beyond looks—they reflect changing lifestyles, energy efficiency goals, and a deeper desire for functional, beautiful spaces that support everyday life.

Here are some of the latest trends we’re seeing in home remodeling—and how our team brings them to life.

1. Open-Concept Living That Brings Everyone Together

Open floor plans continue to be one of the most popular home remodeling requests. Families today want a layout that encourages connection—whether that’s between the kitchen and the living room or blending indoor and outdoor living areas. Removing walls, reworking traffic flow, and designing cohesive spaces helps homes feel more spacious and inviting.

Our team at 3 Sons Construction helps homeowners transform older, closed-off layouts into bright, open-concept designs tailored to their daily routines.

2. Multi-Use Spaces That Work Smarter

With more people working and learning from home, dedicated office spaces and flex rooms are in high demand. We’re seeing a growing number of clients in Des Moines looking to remodel spare bedrooms, basements, or underused nooks into functional offices, study areas, or workout zones.

Whether it’s a cozy home office or a multi-use family room, we can help design and build a space that flexes with your lifestyle.

3. Natural Materials & Neutral Palettes

Homeowners are leaning into earthy tones, natural wood textures, and warm, neutral color palettes to bring a sense of calm and comfort into their homes. Think light oak floors, soft greige walls, and matte black fixtures—modern yet timeless.

We love helping clients choose materials and finishes that reflect their personal style while maintaining long-term appeal and durability.

4. Energy-Efficient & Sustainable Upgrades

More homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes environmentally friendly without sacrificing design. From smart thermostats and better insulation to energy-efficient windows and sustainable materials, remodeling projects are increasingly focused on performance and efficiency.

At 3 Sons Construction, we integrate energy-smart upgrades wherever possible—saving you money and making your home more comfortable year-round.

5. Personalized Touches That Tell Your Story

Trends may come and go, but personal touches never go out of style. Whether it’s custom cabinetry, a built-in breakfast nook, or a remodeled space that honors the home’s history, we believe your remodel should reflect who you are.

As a family-owned business named after our three sons, we understand the value of creating a space that feels like home—for your family, not just anyone’s.
