Honolulu or “town” as it is lovingly referred to by Oahu natives, is the most populous city in the islands. Home to thriving business districts and neighborhoods, amazing local brands, beautiful beaches, and important cultural sites, home renovation in Honolulu is varied. Trending home renovations and features can be found in and outside of Honolulu.
If you are an Oahu local looking to upgrade your living space, you’re in the perfect place.

Our design and construction team stay on top of home trends on and off the island so that we can provide our clients with the best home possible. Here are some of our favorite home renovation trends in 2023.
Preserve Honolulu’s Heritage While Modernizing Historic Homes
The Hawaiian islands are filled with rich culture and deep island heritage. The architecture found from Manoa to Waipahu and Ewa Beach to Waianae reflects our unique history. There are a wide variety of new home builds in Honolulu, we have built a fair number of projects that reflect multiple styles. Alternatively, we have renovated classic older homes and incorporated modern upgrades while retaining the home’s original character.
Convenience is definitely trending in renovation. Incorporating smart technology throughout an entire home is something very popular. Control lighting, communication, security, and appliances easily with technology upgrades. Modernizing the color palette in a home is also incredibly popular. Incorporate lighter neutrals, add pops of color with hardware and colored cabinetry, or get creative with fixtures. We love replacing outdated flooring and extending throughout the home to add continuity.
Embrace an Open Concept Home
An open concept home gives a greater sense of space. By removing barriers in the home you increase air flow and light. Blend the airy island vibes and let the trade winds flow with an open concept floor plan. If your current home feels tight – more like a maze than a home, renovate and open things up. Fewer walls segmenting the different spaces, with strategically placed areas or nooks for privacy, can create a house that is both beautiful and functional.
Have Indoor-Outdoor Features
An open concept home, either through design or renovation, is great. If you have an outdoor space, thinning the design between indoor and outdoor is the latest trend on the market. In Hawaii, we can easily go from our living room to our lanai and our shower can take place indoors or out. A great renovation in Hawaii will create safe bridges between indoors and out. The right Oahu contractor will understand how to blend finishes, technology, and floor plan for the perfect effect.
