Whether you are intending to house renovate in this year, the following are the 10 best trends in house renovation in London that you should be aware of.

2. Heat Pumps and Green Heating Solutions
Heat pumps are rapidly emerging as the preferred option of contemporary home renovations in a move by London to shift to greener energy. They are cost effective, low carbon, and suitable to owners who would have long term upgrades.
To make sure your house is future-proof, BBS & Son Construction will regularly incorporate underfloor heating, smart thermostats and solar PV systems when renovating their house in London.

3. Smarter, Multi-Zoned Living Spaces
Long gone are they in a single large open room. London properties are now adopting zoned living – subdividing open spaces into spaces that are used to work, eat, rest, and entertain.
Homeowners are incorporating sliding glass walls, ingenious joinery, and sound insulated areas to have privacy without sacrificing natural light.

This includes:
- Smart thermostats and smart blinds.
- Motion lighting and water-leak sensors.

- Reclaimed oak flooring
- Recycled glass countertops
- Low-VOC paints and adhesives
- Stone and timber are locally obtained.
Pro Tip: Recycle where necessary – old character features such as fireplaces or doors can be reused to save money, but still add character.
8. Loft Conversions with Purpose and Personality
Loft conversions remain among the most popular methods of space addition in London. However, in 2025, homeowners expect more than an additional room, they want a personalized environment that amazes their lifestyle.
It could be a home office, guest suite or an art studio, but modern loft conversions have incorporated intelligent storage, natural lighting, and custom design elements.
Pro Tip: Add skylights or dormer windows to make the space light and airy – it is an immediate transformation of the room atmosphere.
9. Extensions That Blend Seamlessly
House extensions are changing to appear as though they have always been existing in the house. The movement is to make everything look integrated, like in matching the rooflines, proportions and materials.
Popular choices include:
- Kitchen extensions with access into the garden.
- Narrow Victorian house side returns.
- Light filled living areas with glass boxes.
Pro Tip: Never forget to look whether you require planning permission (particularly in the conservation areas of London). We do it at BBS & Son Construction.
10. Heritage Homes, Modern Comfort
London has a lot of period houses with the major problem being balancing between heritage and modern living. Homeowners are keeping the period features, but with subtle additions of comfort in 2025.
This means:
- Replacing fire places, cornices and timber floors.
- Adding hidden insulation
- The installation of effective heating without the degradation of the aesthetics.
Pro Tip: Do not violate the nature of property. A combination of tradition and style can be so achieved with the help of the appropriate design team.
Bonus Trend: Home Offices and Flexible Spaces
Remote working continues to be high even after offices open. Most house owners are turning these unused areas or lofts into useful home offices.
