2026 Remodeling Trends: Design-Build Features Homeowners Are Choosing Now
IN WESTLAKE VILLAGE & BEYOND
DESIGN-BUILD FEATURES
DEFINING 2026 HOMES
At JRP Design & Remodel, we believe every home should reflect how you live today and how you’ll live for years to come. From our current custom home projects in Westlake Village, Calabasas, and Newbury Park, our design team is seeing clear trends shaping the future of custom home design. These are the features clients are embracing now and the ones we expect to define 2026.

INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING
WITH ARCHITECTURAL DOOR
SYSTEMS
Open-concept living now extends well beyond the walls. Large-format bifold and pocket doors are transforming how our clients connect with their surroundings, expanding entertaining space, improving light flow, and making every view part of the design.
BIFOLD DOORS: Fold and stack to one side, creating a wide, open-air feel — perfect for great rooms and kitchens opening to decks or patios.
MULTI-SLIDE DOORS: Glide along parallel tracks and can stack or pocket into the wall for a sleek, contemporary look and uninterrupted views.
POCKET DOORS: Disappear entirely into the wall, offering the cleanest possible transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
PIVOT DOORS: Rotate on a central hinge, making a bold architectural statement for entries or private courtyards.

WARM NATURAL MATERIALS
WITH TEXTURE
MODERN ORGANIC: White oak cabinetry, warm limestone, limewash walls, and brushed bronze hardware.
CALIFORNIA COASTAL: Bleached oak, soft gray stone, white plaster, and matte black accents paired with woven textures.
SPANISH REVIVAL: Clay-toned plaster, white oak, travertine, and aged brass details.
REFINED MINIMALIST: Rift-cut oak, reclaimed wood beams, textured plaster, and iron fixtures.

LAYERED LIGHTING
PLANS
Our design team is prioritizing lighting as both form and function. It’s not just about visibility; it’s about creating atmosphere from the moment you walk in.
LIGHT YOUR SPACE
Integrating hidden LED channels, warm ambient tones, and sculptural fixtures that double as art defines mood and flow.
A tiered chandelier can draw the eye upward to make ceilings feel taller, while linear pendants emphasize balance and width. We’re seeing increased use of skylights with automatic blinds, bringing natural light into the mix.
