From Lakewood to Solon and everywhere in between, Northeast Ohio homeowners are reimagining their spaces in ways that feel warm, modern, and true to the character of the region. At Burse Construction, we’re seeing three clear trends rise to the top – and the best part is, each one is an opportunity to add real value and comfort to your home.
Whether you’re a longtime homeowner, a new buyer, or a real estate investor, these Northeast Ohio home trends can help guide your next project.
1. Warm Earthy Bases with Bold Accent Colors
For years, cool grays and stark whites dominated interior paint choices. Now, Northeast Ohio homes are shifting toward warmer, earthier bases paired with strategic pops of bold color.
Think:
Soft taupes, clay tones, and warm beiges on walls
Deep greens, navy, or charcoal on accent walls, doors, or built-ins
Rich, moody colors on kitchen islands, trim, or bathroom vanities
Homeowners want spaces that feel inviting and grounded, especially with our long winters. Warm bases create that cozy foundation, while bold accents add personality without overwhelming a room.
How Burse Construction Can Help
Burse Construction offers professional interior and exterior painting tailored to your style and your home’s existing architecture. Our team can help you:
Choose a cohesive color palette that flows from room to room
Highlight architectural details with accent colors (like trim, wainscoting, built-ins, and fireplaces)
Refresh tired walls, ceilings, and exteriors with durable, high-quality finishes
Ready to trade builder-beige for a richer, more modern color story? Contact Burse Construction to schedule a paint consultation and bring your new palette to life.
2. Kitchen & Bathroom Upgrades: Out with the Old, In with the New
Across Northeast Ohio, two spaces are leading the renovation wave: kitchens and bathrooms. These rooms are no longer just functional – they’re where style, comfort, and daily routines intersect.
Common upgrades we’re seeing include:
Replacing dated cabinets with clean-lined, quality cabinetry
Updating countertops to quartz or other durable, modern materials
Installing new tile backsplashes and shower surrounds
Adding walk-in showers, soaking tubs, and double vanities
Improving lighting, storage, and layout for better flow
These projects don’t just improve day-to-day living – they can also significantly increase resale appeal in our competitive Northeast Ohio housing market.
How Burse Construction Can Help
Burse Construction provides full-service kitchen and bathroom upgrades, from simple refreshes to more extensive remodels. We help you:
Modernize outdated finishes while staying within your budget
Improve the layout and storage to match how actually use the space

Whether you’re updating your forever home or preparing a property for sale or rent, a well-planned kitchen or bathroom project can transform the entire feel of the home.

3. Loving Colonial-Style Homes – and Updating Them with Care
Northeast Ohio is full of classic Colonial-style homes, especially in established neighborhoods and older suburbs like Cleveland Heights. These homes are known for their symmetrical facades, multi-pane windows, formal dining rooms, and traditional layouts. Many were built decades ago and carry a sense of history and charm that homeowners still love today.
What we’re seeing now is a strong trend toward preserving that character while updating the function.
Homeowners and investors are:
Keeping original hardwood floors, moldings, and staircases
Refreshing exteriors with new paint, repaired trim, and updated porches
Opening up select interior walls for better flow while maintaining the Colonial feel
Modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, and basements within the existing structure
It’s a blend of respecting history and embracing modern living – and it’s one of the areas where Burse Construction truly shines.
How Burse Construction Can Help
Working on older Colonial-style homes requires skill, patience, and attention to detail. Burse Construction is experienced in refining and refreshing Colonial homes across Northeast Ohio. We can:
Repair and repaint exterior siding, trim, and doors to enhance curb appeal
Update interiors with fresh paint that honors the style of the home
Coordinate upgrades in kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas so they feel modern but not out of place
Help you maintain the home’s historical charm while improving comfort, functionality, and value
Whether you just purchased a Colonial or have lived in one for years, we can help you bring out the best in its original design.
