Trends 2024 in Urban Apartment Refurbishment
The refurbishment of urban apartments continues to evolve, marked by the need to optimise small spaces, improve efficiency, and create more comfortable and sustainable homes. At BTTEstudio, we transform dwellings into balanced, bright, and timeless spaces. Here are the key trends for 2025.
1. Open and Flexible Spaces
Open spaces remain one of the priorities in urban apartment refurbishment. The integration of the living room, kitchen, and dining area expands the sense of space, improves circulation, and enhances natural light.
Flexibility is achieved with movable partitions, sliding panels, and modular systems, allowing each environment to be adapted to different needs without losing aesthetics.
2. Open Kitchens as the Heart of the Home
The kitchen is solidifying its role as the social hub of the dwelling. Current refurbishments focus on:
- Multifunctional islands
- Warm materials combined with stone or porcelain
- Hidden storage
- Integrated appliances
This type of kitchen provides functionality and a clean design that integrates with the rest of the space.
3. More Natural Light
Natural light is a decisive element in the refurbishment of urban dwellings. The most commonly applied solutions include:
- Enlargement of openings and new visual connections
- Neutral tones that enhance brightness
- Interior glazing to connect rooms
- Reflective materials and satin finishes
Older dwellings offer a great opportunity to create brighter and more vibrant interiors.
4. Sustainable and Timeless Materials
Sustainability is becoming essential. In 2025, materials such as:
- Certified wood
- Eco-friendly paints
- Sustainable cladding and mortars
- Durable ceramics
- Recycled textiles
The goal is to create efficient, healthy, and visually coherent homes.
5. Calm Aesthetics and Sensory Design
The trend in interior design is moving towards serene and welcoming environments. Dominating features include:
- Soft palettes in stone, sand, or clay tones
- Furniture with clean lines
- Natural textures
- Handcrafted details
This aesthetic brings balance and well-being to daily life.
6. Suite-style Bedrooms and Spa-like Bathrooms
The bedroom becomes a refuge for rest. Refurbishments include:
- Direct access to a dressing room and bathroom
- Spacious showers with ambient lighting
- Enveloping cladding
- Custom storage solutions
The result is a discreet and functional everyday luxury.
7. Integrated and Discreet Technology
Home automation is incorporated without altering aesthetics: smart lighting, climate control, connected security, and energy efficiency systems. An “invisible” technology that simplifies daily life.
