If you’re planning a remodel, you’re in for an exciting time. Nashville home remodeling isn’t just about updating your space—it’s about keeping up with design, lifestyle and value-driven decisions.
Whether you’re living in a historic bungalow near East Nashville, a mid-century in Green Hills, or a newer suburban home, 2026 will bring some meaningful shifts.
The Rise of Wellness-First Spaces
In 2026, homeowners are increasingly thinking beyond looks and function—they’re thinking about how their home makes them feel. Trends show a strong uptick in things like home saunas, integrated wellness zones, natural light and better air quality.
For the Nashville market, where many homes were built decades ago and are undergoing updates, this means things like:
- Converting a spare room into a meditation/yoga space or spa-bath with steam/shower combo.
- Taking advantage of increased outdoor living (think screened porches or patios) and turning them into wellness extensions of indoor living.
- Upgrading windows, insulation and HVAC to help indoor air and comfort, which ties into wellness plus value.
Sustainable & Smart Upgrades
Sustainability is a growing demand, especially in areas like Nashville where energy costs, climate, and regulatory awareness all matter. Energy efficiency, smart technology adoption and eco-materials will be major pillars of home updates in 2026.
What it looks like locally:
- Installing triple-pane or Low-E windows to replace older leaky versions.
- Adding smart home systems: lighting, thermostats, automated shades, or even “smart glass” that can adjust opacity for light/privacy in large openings.
- Choosing materials that have longer lifespans, lower maintenance, and lesser environmental impact—e.g., reclaimed wood, durable stone, low-VOC finishes.
Embracing Bold Color, Texture & Personal Style
After years of all-white and neutral interiors, the 2026 trend is shifting toward richer, more expressive, yet still timeless design.
In Nashville home remodeling, that could mean:
- Powder rooms or guest baths drenched in a single hue from ceiling to trim (“color drenching”).
- Accent walls or cabinetry done in deep olive, warm terracotta or muddy blue, paired with brass or aged metal hardware.
- Using textured stone, stacked stone backsplashes, or layered tile arrangements rather than flat, uniform tile.
Outdoor and Multi-Functional Lifestyle Spaces
One thing homeowners absolutely appreciate is the blend of indoor and outdoor living. In 2026, remodels are increasingly focusing on spaces that flex: entertaining, working from home, family fun, even rental potential (think ADUs, guest suites).
Key ideas:
- Transforming patios or screened porches into year-round living rooms with heaters, weather-proof materials, and stylish lighting.
- Creating versatile rooms inside: e.g., a basement that can be a home gym, guest retreat, movie night zone.
- Adding or updating accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for bonus space—whether for aging parents, a rental, or guest suite.
Upgrades for Aging Homes
Many homes in Nashville were built decades ago and are showing their age. With moving becoming more costly, many homeowners are choosing to stay and remodel rather than relocate.
What this means for your remodel:
- Focus on systems and infrastructure first: roofing, siding, windows, HVAC.
- Choose finishes that will appeal broadly but still feel fresh: e.g., replace old carpet or outdated fixtures with materials that raise resale value.
- Keep neighborhood context in mind (walkability, schools, transit) and ensure your remodel enhances what’s already strong.
