The Renovation Situation

📣 New Podcast Episode: Wellness Trends in Home Remodeling!

Homeowners today aren’t just asking for pretty kitchens and nice bathrooms anymore…
They’re asking:

👉 How will this space make me FEEL?
👉 Is the lighting good for my sleep?
👉 What’s the air quality like?
👉 Can my shower be… a spa?

In this week’s episode of The Renovation Situation, Todd and I dig into the fastest-growing trend in remodeling right now: Wellness-focused design.

We talk about:
✨ Natural light & circadian rhythm design
✨ Air quality, filtration & low-VOC materials
✨ Water quality (RO, testing, filtration)
✨ Saunas, steam rooms & recovery spaces
✨ Layered lighting + “dim-to-warm” systems
✨ Plants, living walls & biophilic design
✨ Dedicated wellness nooks (yes… a reading hideaway counts)

If you're planning a remodel — or you’re a remodeler noticing the same shift — this episode gives you a full breakdown of what homeowners are asking for in 2025.
