By Southtide Construction – Sarasota, FL
As Sarasota continues to grow and attract homeowners who value style, comfort, and functionality, we’re seeing some exciting shifts in home design. At Southtide Construction, we’re proud to bring these innovative trends to life through custom remodeling and carpentry solutions tailored for Florida living.
Here’s a look at the top remodeling trends shaping Sarasota homes in 2025 — all inspired by what local homeowners are asking for and what we’re seeing on the job site.
🌿 1. Bold Colors Meet Natural Materials
2025 is all about intentional contrast. Think rich, moody hues — emerald green, midnight blue, and deep burgundy — paired with warm, earthy tones like terracotta, ochre, and natural wood.
We're using locally sourced wood, bamboo accents, and stone surfaces to balance bold walls or cabinetry. These elements bring warmth, depth, and a natural, grounded feel to any space — perfect for homeowners who want a modern yet organic aesthetic.
Our Tip:
Use natural wood in ceiling beams or custom built-ins to bring this trend into your home subtly and sustainably.
🛁 2. Spa-Like Bathroom Retreats
More Sarasota homeowners are transforming their bathrooms into personal wellness retreats. We’re talking:
- Freestanding soaking tubs
- Oversized, zero-entry showers with rainheads
- Smart mirrors with built-in lighting and defogging
- Heated flooring and towel warmers
Whether you live in Lakewood Ranch or a historic Sarasota bungalow, a spa-inspired bathroom increases your home’s value and daily comfort.
Project Highlight:
We recently completed a Siesta Key remodel that turned a cramped guest bath into a luxurious walk-in wet room with teak accents and ocean-toned tiles.
🔌 3. Smart Home, Smart Living
From kitchens to entryways, smart tech integration is on the rise — not just for convenience but also for energy savings and future-proofing.
Popular upgrades include:
- Smart thermostats and lighting
- Touchless faucets and smart appliances
- Integrated security and surveillance
- Voice-controlled entertainment systems
Bonus:
Most of these upgrades can be installed during a remodel without disrupting your home’s aesthetics — we specialize in discreet installation and smart design.
☀️ 4. Outdoor Living That Works Year-Round
In Florida, outdoor living isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifestyle. And 2025 is all about extending that living space with functional, stylish upgrades:
- Covered lanais with ceiling fans and TVs
- Full outdoor kitchens and pizza ovens
- Coastal-style pergolas and privacy walls
- Poolside bars and cozy fire pits
At Southtide, we design and build outdoor living spaces that feel like an extension of your home, not an afterthought.
♻️ 5. Sustainability Is the New Standard
Green living is more than a buzzword — it's a must. Sarasota homeowners are looking for eco-conscious upgrades that reduce environmental impact and long-term energy costs.
Here’s what’s trending:
- Reclaimed wood and low-VOC finishes
- Energy-efficient windows and insulation
- Tankless water heaters and solar-ready infrastructure
- Recycled and repurposed materials for cabinetry and flooring
