As we move further into 2025, homeowners are prioritising key features that enhance comfort, functionality and sustainability in their homes. At B&G Construction, we’ve noticed a growing demand for key home features, including open-plan kitchens, smart home technology and energy-efficient designs. Let’s explore the top trends shaping home renovations and builds this year.
1. Open-Plan Kitchens and Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
Kitchen upgrades remain a top priority for homeowners, with open-plan designs that integrate seamlessly with living spaces growing in popularity. Natural light, smart layouts and a connection to outdoor spaces are key requests. Our completed Ardilaun project is a great example of this, which features a spacious, open-plan kitchen and living area designed to bring the garden into the home to create a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
2. Smart Home Technology for Efficiency and Comfort
Homeowners are always looking for new ways to make their living spaces more energy-efficient and convenient, leading to a rise in smart home integrations. Our recently completed Cuan Buí development was designed with energy efficiency at its core, featuring:
- BER A2-rated homes
- Demand control ventilation systems
- Zone-specific heating
- Energy-efficient roofs
- Floor insulation
- Air-to-water heat pump systems.
These features help homeowners reduce energy costs while enjoying a more sustainable lifestyle.
3. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainability is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity. At B&G Construction, we incorporate eco-friendly materials and construction methods to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Our Cuan Buí project utilised Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF), which enhances insulation and reduces energy consumption, while also integrating the energy-efficient features mentioned above.
4. Increased Demand for Dedicated Workspaces
With more people working from home, the demand for dedicated home offices continues to rise. Over the past few years, we’ve incorporated home office spaces throughout multiple projects. These workspaces provide a comfortable and productive environment without compromising the overall design of the home.
