As a trusted home contractor serving Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, Ormeno Construction is proud to help homeowners create spaces that work for the way they live.
In 2025, home improvement trends focus on thoughtful, practical upgrades that prioritize functionality without sacrificing beauty.
Pedro Ormeno, owner of Ormeno Construction, shares, “Our goal is always to design and build purposefully. Each home we work on is different, and our job is to ensure the updates serve the family who lives there. Whether we’re tackling a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project, a home renovation, improving a home’s accessibility with ADA-style modifications, our goal remains the same: to ensure our customers are completely satisfied with every detail.”
Here’s a look at how these trends are shaping homes in 2025—and how Ormeno Construction can help you bring them to life.
Storage is often an overlooked aspect of home design, but in 2025, it’s a top priority for homeowners. Custom closets, built-in shelving, and tailored solutions like under-stair storage are helping families better utilize their space. These upgrades reduce clutter and add an intentional, polished look to a home.
“We approach storage as an integral part of any design, from kitchens and bathrooms to living rooms, understair storage systems and basements. Every room can benefit from more storage,” says Pedro. “A custom closet or built-in cabinet isn’t just functional—it’s an opportunity to enhance a room’s aesthetic and boost its practicality.”
For families looking to optimize their homes, Ormeno Construction offers a variety of custom storage solutions to suit any need. From walk-in closets to hidden storage in unexpected places, we’ll ensure every corner of your home works for you.
This year, kitchens are moving away from neutral tones and embracing bold, statement-making colors. Rich greens, deep blues, and earthy terracottas are especially popular, adding depth and personality to the heart of the home. Many homeowners also opt for eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient layouts, balancing beauty with sustainability.
“Color makes kitchens feel more inviting and personal; the all-white or ice-white kitchen has been the go-to choice for Kitchen remodels in Westchester for a decade or more – but the color is coming back in a big way.” Pedro explains. “We recently worked on a kitchen remodeling project in Ridgefield, CT, that mixed dark green cabinets with new natural wood flooring. In researching this project we found the homeowner was on track with a growing trend in kitchen remodeling and cabinet color selection. We have to admit our team was trying to push them toward the more popular navy cabinet options, but the green, in the home’s wooded setting, is gorgeous.”
Whether you’re considering a small kitchen renovation or a full kitchen remodeling project, our team can help you design a kitchen that feels vibrant and works beautifully for your family.
Hardwood floors are not a trend; they are a timeless favorite among homeowners; in 2025, we think more homeowners will choose more natural finishes and opt for wider planks, looking for a warmer overall feel. We will also see more homeowners use wood flooring in their kitchens to create a seamless, cohesive look throughout the home.
Many of our clients are refinishing their existing floors to restore their original beauty rather than replace them entirely.
“Hardwood floors are one of the most impactful elements of a home,” says Pedro. “The way they feel underfoot, the warmth they add to a room—it’s hard to replicate that with other materials.”
If your floors need attention, our hardwood floor refinishing and repair services can help bring them back to life; we can even add new flooring to rooms that might be covered in cooler materials like laminate or tile.
In 2025, homeowners are looking at their bathroom as a room for a moment to themselves, maybe even a place for self-care. They are becoming more than just functional, utilitarian spaces. Homeowners opt for features like oversized walk-in showers, soaking tubs, and custom vanities that combine utility with elegance.
“When we work on a Wechester NY bathroom remodel, we think about how the work we do can improve daily routines,” Pedro says. “A well-designed bathroom isn’t just a luxury; a new bathroom should improve the entire families quality of life. From parents looking for a moment alone to an older homeowner looking for respite and comfort, bathrooms are one place in the house where you can take a moment for yourself.”

Wallpaper and millwork are making a big comeback. Here in Westchester, we meet homeowners who are looking to bring in texture and details that will add depth and a sense of individuality to their rooms, and wallpaper and well-designed millwork will do just that.
“These elements may seem small, but they bring so much personality to a room,” Pedro explains. “Paneling, custom trim, or even a bold wallpaper completely change how a room feels.”
Pairing these upgrades with a professional paint job ensures a cohesive and polished result.
As families grow, needs evolve, and so do their homes and how they live in them. Multi-use spaces that serve more than one role are now being designed as such—while we used to just make rooms multi-use now, they are being planned that way. For example, a home offices that double as guest rooms or dining areas with hidden storage in the kitchen—are becoming increasingly common. Practical and power,ful these spaces are designed to adapt over time, offering flexibility for changing lifestyles.
“Flexibility is key,” Pedro says. “Families need spaces that work today but can also grow with them. We focus on designs that are practical and forward-thinking.”
Our renovation services can help you create rooms that meet your needs now and in the future.
Outdoor living spaces are continuing to gain popularity, with homeowners investing in decks, patios, and outdoor kitchens that extend their homes into the open air. These areas aren’t just for summer—they’re designed to be enjoyed year-round with features like covered seating and built-in heating elements.
“Outdoor spaces add so much value, not just in terms of property, but in how families enjoy their homes,” Pedro notes. “A well-designed deck or patio becomes a natural gathering place.”
Our decking services can help you create an outdoor space that fits your lifestyle.
Pedro concludes, “Every project we take on starts with understanding what our clients need from their homes. It’s not just about following trends; it’s about building spaces that feel meaningful and functional for each family.”
