What are homeowners choosing for their kitchens this year? The 2026 Houzz Kitchen Trends Study surveyed 1,780 of them, and a few patterns stand out: warmer wood finishes, more built-in storage, and kitchens designed for the long run.

Every photo in this set is a kitchen or space GMT designed.

Sixty Massachusetts towns, including Ashland, Natick, Newton, and Boston, now build new homes to the state's highest energy standard. We've been designing this way for a long time. In 2013 we designed six Net Zero homes in Ashland that produce as much energy as they use. If you're planning a new home, your town's code shapes the design from the start, so it's worth knowing which one applies before you sketch a floor plan.

Thinking about an ADU? Massachusetts approved more than 2,000 of them under the new housing law, and a new state program helps homeowners find out whether their property is a good fit. Before you talk to anyone about floor plans, it helps to know what you want the space to do: house a parent, host long visits, or earn rental income. Our free ADU decision guide walks you through those questions in a few minutes.

Most homeowners who renovate now plan to stay at least another 11 years, and nearly half call their home a forever home (Houzz 2026). That changes how you design. You're not choosing finishes for resale anymore; you're planning for how your household will change: a first-floor bedroom you might need later, wider doorways, a kitchen that works for two cooks. Start by asking what your house needs to do in 10 years.

Planning a custom home or a major remodel? The first big decision isn't the kitchen layout or the siding. It's how you organize the whole project.

Our free guide, The Ultimate Guide to Design/Build in New England, walks you through how design/build compares to the traditional design-bid-build route, what really drives cost, how to avoid change-order surprises, and what to ask before you hire a team. There's a plain-language glossary at the end, too.

Morning coffee on the back patio, anyone — five steps from bed, no big production?

This primary suite addition backs right up to a patio with pavers set to an intentionally uneven edge, so it settles into the yard and summer greenery instead of squaring off against it. The back yard offers peace and seclusion. Walk-in closets, a gym, a walk-in tub — all the everyday indoor stuff is great too, built for the long haul.

We moved the garage doors to the back of the house for this one, which freed up room for a bigger covered porch out front too. And nicer landscaping to boot. Happy summer.

Sometimes the site tells you exactly where the house goes. Here, the existing foundation and the proximity to the water decided that for us — so the design worked forward from there.

This elegant cedar-shingled custom home sits by a lake, now overlooked by a large deck that makes the absolute most of summer waterfront living. A covered walkway ties the detached garage and in-law suite straight to the front entry — rain or shine, no detour required.
